  1. It was the F1 Stockcar World Final. The spectator numbers ain't that much higher than when SWC/SON meetings were held there. A normal Stockcar weekend is still 2-3x that of Speedway
  2. Exactly. It read like AI had written it. We had the "0-60 faster than an F1 car" line. "No brakes, risking life & limbs" line etc. The idea is to increase a more youthful culture within the sport. Yet, here we are again, wheeling out a near 80 year old where anyone under 25 probably only knows this guy for 'I'm A Celebrity'. Surely, surely, surely, there must be recently retired football players / managers out there that have some spare cash to throw about? We've tried Celebrities in the recent past & it didnโ€™t even create a ripple. Keith Flint (rip fella) & Mark Webber. Also John McGuinness & Carl Fogerty from the biker world, not a ripple to help the sport. It could be a foot in the door to Premier League Football but I'm not convinced his contacts would be recent enough. We absolutely need to try & get our fingers in to Football, Formula 1 & Pop Music, absolutely First & foremost, British Speedway is absolutely desperate for modern facilities but, even looking at Belle Vue's, the numbers coming in are terrible considering their location & upturn over the last couple of decades of inner city upgrades. The toughest thing for Speedway is, that absolutely everyone don't know what they want. From promoters to still attending fans, most have zero will &/or ideas to move this sport forward in this country.
  3. Major controversy incoming for the Play-Offs. Again, Belle Vue have instructed their solicitors vs the BSPL, who have notified the remainder of the league of the circumstances. Before a wheel was turned in March, Belle Vue had instructed their Play-Offs opposition which had been verbally agreed by the Chaiman of the BSPL. So, following the agreement made in March the Play-Offs will be as followed........ Semi Final 1: Belle Vue vs Birmingham - 1st leg NSS / 2nd leg NSS Final: Belle Vue vs Oxford - 1st leg at NSS / 2nd leg NSS Semi Final 2: Ipswich vs Sheffield - Postponed Leicester: Withdrawn from the Play-Offs due to to many illegal immigrants in the City. Of course, this is absolutely, 100% (not) fact & know how Belle Vue & some fans like to cry about the injustice they suffer & highlight how great they are. Even with all this, Leicester still win the league ๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜›
  4. If King's Lynn can get a win vs Sheffield (weather pending) I think, overall, the club can hold it's head up high to finish on 30 points. When you look at the Belle Vue septet, it's not a bad effort. The difference between the 2 clubs is clearly heatleaders. If the Premiership survive for 2026, it's an absolute must King's Lynn employs an 8.00+ No1
  5. Promoters can't win can they?!? King's Lynn get blasted for calling off the day before based on a forecast, Sheffield get blasted for trying to get a meeting on. I know which situation is far worse by the way, it's not calling it off the day before. Just saying ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
  6. Comfortable home win. 52-38. King's Lynn's draw in the Cup was an exceptional result. It was well celebrated, but overall, it was just a draw at the end of the day. Ipswich won't allow that to happen this time for sure.
  7. Sheffield won't finish top so have no choice. Ipswich will 100% pick Belle Vue
  8. The same big changes as last year?? The year before that one?? Oh, & the year before that, & before that etc etc. In the time King's Lynn returned to the top league in 2011 we've made the Play-Offs 3 times (I think)?? With 6-7-8 teams in it, 3 times in the Play-Offs. Joke club. Really don't know what King's Lynn fans actually expect. The management needs to understand & get it drilled in to their skull, YOU CANNOT WIN ANYTHING WITHOUT A PROPER NO1. It is that simple. The nonsense fed from management that 'strength in depth' can work is absolute kak. Obviously, 6 pointers can have anomalies, i.e. Ipswich away, but there's a reason rider's are 6 pointers. They'll also score 2s & 3s. 8+ at No1 & a 7+ at No5. If King's Lynn can't afford or attract those rider's, drop down a league.
  9. He'll soon be dialled in & up for it after discovering the line (or 2) ๐Ÿ’ณ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿป___๐Ÿคช
  10. First of all, congratulations Leicester Lions. Fully deserved with managing the draw away in the 1st Leg. Secondly, my 2 pence in on the heat 6 incident. I think the referee was absolutely correct & I'd call it the same, it's Speedway. I wish this type of riding would return more regularly, it's exciting to watch & it's been a bugbear with me that SGP riders don't do to Zmarzlik. For me, rider's need to be smarter or more brave when someone steams up the inside. Slinging a bike down the track is just an easy way out to force a decision in your favour. One of the biggest problems with Speedway today is "Racing" has become frowned upon. Letting someone pass safely seems to be 'the order of the day' these days, it's s#!t. Riding to the fence, dive bombing, handlebar banging etc should be widely encouraged. Last but not least, King's Lynn only have themselves to blame. Lawson, Harris, Harrison & Klindt did (pretty much) their job / what was expected. Kvech & let down but Iversen ๐Ÿ˜ก Question for Stars fans:- If my memory serves me well, is this the 2nd time Iversen has declare himself fit when he clearly isn't & screwed us of any chance?? I'm sure he did this a few years back turning up to a final injured after a layoff?? 3 points over both meetings deserves a sacking. 100% R/R would have done better.
  11. The makeup of the team relies on a high scoring reserve. So yes, if Klindt is poor tomorrow night, it's absolutely game over. King's Lynn needs 9 minimum from his programmed rides. With Lawson & Harris having been recent former Lions 8 minimum has to come from them. Can we get 21 from Iversen, Kvech, Nicholls, Harrison & Klindt switches?? Why not, hey?? There is hope for King's Lynn, there is capability in this side to throw an upset.
  12. If Klindt is the best rider, why do you want the 3rd best getting an extra ride in heat 15? That's basically giving up the meeting. If it is close up to heat 13, we'll need Klindt to have 2 available rides left from 3 heats, one being heat 15. To go in to heat 15 without your strongest 2 vs Fricke & partner would be absolute madness.
  13. Only chance King's Lynn have to turn this around is to sack Iversen for Robert Lambert. Other than that, Congratulations Leicester Lions
  14. They need 18 meetings to complete 75% of fixtures. They've completed 16.
