That’s the reason for the call off then. Absolute cheats. AGAIN.

Hardly anyone outside the few thousand who follow the sport would even notice if he came back into Speedway... It isn't like any return would drive tens of thousands away... As that has already been done by others down the years... And if anyone wants to make a stand by not going should any convicted criminal be riding then let them.... Plenty more will still turn up regardless of his presence.... And, if we are now only allowing ex cons to do certain jobs, why should others then be made to work with them? Other "labourer's" in your scenario may not want him there with them for example... Therefore, what jobs does society say ex cons can do without someone having a protest? The bottom line is hardly anyone in this country has heard of Speedway, let alone Jason Garrity...

He did wrong & was punished in a court of law. His sentence was to serve 7 years in prison, due to good behavior he was released early only serving half his time. He now wants to return to normal life & that includes racing speedway. I'm not Judge or Jury but I am willing to give him time & space to prove he can be a valid member of the speedway community

I'd suggest not after this was posted earlier

I wish Vadim Tarasenko all the best. Hopefully Vadim quitting will burn a big hole in Buster's pocket once attendances drop after a few more batterings.

At a guess his machinery’s gone to pot and he’s probably not got connections or money to sort it out. Also explains why KL called Sheffield meeting off

Such a shame to see Buster and King's Lynn struggling. Has he sold Panthers yet btw?

The sport which has the most offers and offers them continuing employment is football. Yet every week people pay to watch rapists, drug cheats, wife beaters who steal a living through the sport.

Should be banned for a specified amount of meetings not a specified amount of time.

The 4-way temporary traffic lights causing the problems near the stadium were removed today.

I still don't understand the call-off. The weather was lovely, you can't just ignore one forecast & pick the one that suits you best. They had Lawson & Brennan lined up as guests, r/r for Tarasenko allows every rider an extra ride, so there was no reason to call it off due to the teams strength. If there was no facility for Tarasenko or Zmarzlik was his replacement I could understand the ruse, but still condemn it. But if King's Lynn are planning to call off every match when they may lose, they'll hardly get any speedway raced!

Tbf at least you know where you stand with Simon! 110% effort every race.

Not a problem- advantage is all with the punters who can if they want to watch qualifying, see how quick each are, whereas i have to put up the spread a week before and it’s all about intuition and enticing the punters to have a bet on a particular rider. most punters back more but figures show it’s a better bet to back less- here endeth the lesson on spread betting !

Didn't want to ride for Panthers B team after all

So is the real reason for Mondays postponement

Because you can’t just call meetings off at the drop of a hat. Every man and his dog knew on Monday that no rain was forecast so why call the meeting off? They probably knew on Sunday or Monday Tarasenko wouldn’t be returning the kl promotion are a joke.

Well I can tell you that according to the KL website and facebook it's 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Perhaps there is some uncertainty over NKI and Basso?

Shouldn't that read 'roast' as opposed to 'host'?

I don't see why speedway riders must be holier than thou, to be riders. I'm pretty sure many riders have a 'back catalogue' or skeletons in their cupboard. Many boxers have skeletons and back catalogues. I do understand speedway promoters getting worried about the affect on their gates. On the other hand, he might be a draw. 'Come and see the bad boy come good'!

Really? How does that work then?

Would that be Ryde or Parkhurst?

Bysarna speedway have awarded 6 million SEK,* from the Swedish Inheritance Fund. They money is dedicated to the construction of a new 500 cc track. https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/pengaregn-over-bysarna-har-knappt-sovit-nagonting-i-natt *about 440 000 GBP/ €516 000

I agree, it is possible the tabloids could get create a negative story, if Jason was allowed back into the sport, but Oscar Wilde said 'there's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about'. Is it likely a planning officer/committee would have it brought to their attention that 'speedway employs convicted criminals'? They seem to worry about how the surrounding public are going to be affected, such as: Will the roads be able to take the extra traffic, will the stadium have adequate parking, will the environment be affected, will the greasy motor bike types cause trouble in the area, the noise polution, etc etc

We will go to Ipswich to get a win. But Richie Hawkins has already alluded that they will set the track up to be grippy which probably won't suit us, which is up to the home team. For me as long as we get the bonus point from Ipswich then I will be happy, so hopefully we can keep as tight as possible.

KanDysoft SGP_2024 Excel file allows you to follow up to 12 meetings in a series and print off your own racecard.

He will probably end up replacing Patryk W in the not to distant future.

How long before the Simon Lambert announcement anyone…

Sadly it beginning to look like another difficult season at Kings Lynn - really thought the team we started with was very promising sadly things aren’t looking so promising now .

Anybody else thinking that the Nicolai Klindt release was instigated by Klindt, and it was a mutual decision in the end? I doubt Tarasenko leaving King's Lynn has come as surprise, so the team place was probably known about. Oxford have got a bit of stick changing the team so soon, but perhaps it's what Klindt wanted. It would explain why they've got Riss in quickly on a lower average without using it to replace Kerr.

As fans, there's no point quoting rules. Teams have signed riders on the day of a meeting & raced that evening before. Teams will do what suits their situation best, they ALL do it, every single one. 100% if Sheffield needed a win at home & Woffinden got his a$$ stuck in the toilet they'd call off the meeting due to an unfavourable weather forecast. This isn't new, but because King's Lynn always find themselves in the s#!t week in week out, year in year out, shady call offs will happen more regularly. Although a sport, they too will have to try & protect their business. Getting whacked at home every week will not help them survive. No defender of Buster at all but fans need to understand the predicament teams at the bottom face. The league can't afford anymore clubs going under, it's a real risk right now for King's Lynn. Closer than you think.

Buster 'Hello Vadim, I'm just calling to let you know about our updated schedule and the dates we'll be running on after a few early season postponements' Vadim...................

So tarasenko’s agent informed kl on Tuesday afternoon that he wanted to stop riding in the uk and by Wednesday dinner time the change is already been ratified by the bspa hmm smells very fishy. Changes don’t get ratified that quickly do they?

So Tarasenko quit on Tuesday! I wonder if he was planning to turn up on Monday before it was called off?

What a shambles the start of the season has turned out to be. Buster needs to sort out strengthening the team asap or he wont see another crowd this season like we had against Belle Vue. What riders are out there, that could come in and make us stronger though??

Let's hope that all of our Aussies make their flights to take on the Birmingham Banana Skins... I'm currently waiting outside the turnstiles to make sure I make it in time

Leicester will hit 60 imo. I cant imagine Milik, Lampart or Pawlicki enjoying the Leicester circuit.

It good that cases are judged on their merits,which is common sense.IMO

I forgive you for such a pointless post

That piece made me smile, Havelock had difficulty managing his own life never mind anyone else's.

I remember his autograph was one of my favourites because he put a smiley face on it.

Yes I have seen the post also, I wonder what it could be, fingers crossed hey.

Any objection should focus on the fact that it is a “retrospective “ application, and that if it is allowed, then in effect the planning department is rendered redundant, as anybody can build what they like and then apply for “retrospective “ planning.

I think you're right, heat of the moment can get to all of us, I've done it watching the tv at some meetings, although try not to in the stadium, but a planned interveiw like Woffinden's is unforgivable really. As Poole Keith has said there is an amazing crop of young( mostly Spanish and some Italians) who conduct themselves so well in a foreign language, they're a credit to moto gp. Don't ever remember Mark Loram seeming it necessary to drop the bomb in the heat of the moment or in an interview.

Should he have been sentenced to death? You don't seem to want him to be able to earn an honest living, that's what I assume you mean by "reward"... what do you suggest he do?

As has already been stated, it is not the bottom league of Poland at all. The standard is actually very good and features several Premiership ‘stars’ in the league like Kurtz, Holder, Tungate, Klindt, Musielak etc to just a few, plus Grand Prix rider Kai Huckenbeck. Because he wasn’t good enough first time around, Luke Becker has just been dropped by his team over there too - that shows you the type of standard that it is.

They would of loved a track as dry as this to work with on Monday morning. The rain has arrived 24 hours late, at 11am today.

I agree, about Tungate/ Doyle. Like you say Doyle turned up on time for his flight, and the the reason for him missing the meeting was beyond his control. In the case of Tungate his flight left without him as he was late for flight, that is down to him that he did not make it back into the UK in time for his meeting. For me the two totally different reasons for missing a meeting.

Laguta would be better!

Yet better racing in last 2 heats than there was in 15 heats at Leicester last week.

It’s disheartening to see the lack of interest in the NL these days. It’s come from dumbing down the league for years and years. Why would fans be as excited about an inferior product?
