  1. Many years ago Ipswich meant everything to me - to absolutely HATE WITH A PASSION. The stand up rows with opposition fans home and away were great fun, friendly aggressive banter I'd call it Unfortunately, those days have long gone in Speedway. The fierecness in a local derby just doesn't exist and it's a great shame. Definitely adds to any atmosphere
  2. Good to know, so we're clear. Birmingham have just signed plain old 'run of the mill' Lindgren??
  3. so because Lambert is an asset he's not marquee. Max Fricke Jack Holder It's irrelevant when they sign, they've signed. So we're straight, you can only be a marquee signing if you start the season & you must be foreign??
  4. I'm waiting to giggle at who you call a marquee signing in 2024 if Robert Lambert hasn't been one of them over the last 2/3 years.
  5. So, you're saying Robert Lambert isn't a marquee rider in this generation??
  6. Urrrm, is this something to shout about?? Apart from their clear fascism and racism what else would a vote for them be for??
  7. Another good and very important win for King's Lynn tonight. An absolute must win delivered. Is the top 4 chase on with 3 home meetings in hand vs Oxford's home and 2 on Leicester's.
  8. So you think people buying a 300k+ home will be happy to have a Speedway track on their doorstep. Now, come on. Be realistic
  9. Did it, which bit?? Can't remember seeing the Truckfest organisers part of the campaign
  10. You've missed the point. Apart from Speedway, who else is in the fight against AEPG?? You can have a 100 million protest signatures from Speedway fans but it has zero effect with councils eventually. Speedway alone will not keep the sport at Peterborough alive. The other businesses have to be involved and the immediate local communities affected by the new build. AEPG legally cannot be forced to find new land and/or be ordered to dip their hands in their pockets and help pay for it. Everyone can be as angry as they like of course, but there's absolutely no way of winning this one.
  11. Eventually, patience runs out. I was once one of those 'Happy Clappers' so it's not a poor choice of words. Never had a bad word to say, travelled home and away year in year out. Only when Jonathan Chapman left the deterioration was massively noticeable with every passing year. 2017 absolutely shattered the Camel's back. Once JC left, within a season or two, we should have returned to the 2nd tier.
  12. They do have a point though. 1000 spectators, once a fortnight, over a 7 month period, on a 164 acre site could be seen a selfish. Which other former site business is also in this fight to survive?? You'll never win standing alone.
  13. Hold on though, don't you think Peterborough fans have a right to feel bitter towards Buster?? Swindon fans feel bitter towards their owners, so do Rye House, Reading etc. They've been duped in to thinking there's a future and it then never materialise. Currently happening to King's Lynn, there is absolutely nothing being talked about regards running in 2025. King's Lynn fans are asleep to it. Can't wait to see what the happy clappers opinions are if the doors close. That genuinely would be 100% on Buster as the cause.
  14. Was it interviews or were they just nagging?
  15. Currently, King's Lynn Speedway's curtains do close in September but the fans are sleeping on it. As for a buyer, I'm not convinced as they'd still have to work with Buster. Last season only lasted half a season with a new promoter remember.
  16. Yep, King's Lynn have allowed his release. It's there, between the lines, press wording. Had he not been released the press release would have stated that Musielak is continuing to 'withhold his services', this would allow a further 28 day extention. That statement is a clear, official admission to the BSPL that after the current 28 days they're a 6 man team, or a replacement is in due process. For certain, they now cannot ask for a facility.
  17. Do women's Speedway bikes have a lower crossbar & smaller wheel diameter?
  18. Why would the BSPL do that? King's Lynn have released him now. If King's Lynn didn't want him to go elsewhere and don't have a replacement lined up themselves he'd remain in the line-up, then another 28 day ban would run.
  19. That would be a madness. Still recovering from injury, can afford to be carrying a No6. Anyone coming in has to be 100% fit and up to speed. There's not enough time left in the league to give rider's time to find form.
  20. Allow it fam, ya'll git outed by dem pagens brev dat you'z no mandem chat. Hope Busty haz dem bands for Speedway bredrin brev Keep it tight brev & keeps sling dat ting brev
  21. Don't do PM's with anyone. Everything that needs saying gets said in public
  22. One thing Buster has never ever been accused of is 'Not being paid'. There is a long history of complaints about standards and professionalism though. It's a myth to think riders are happy to just collect a cheque a go home. That's not how any ambitious professional sportsman works. The few that do have that mentality always get found out in the end (and end up at King's Lynn Speedway ).
  23. Oh dear, you've totally missed the point. I'd never say who, they, it, them are. That's the most stupid thing anyone could do. That results in no more information to the fans that deserve to know some 'behind closed doors' information. The point is, don't call bullpoop on someone else's 'source' information unless you're willing to disclose your own source. I'd never call anyone a liar, just sometimes situations change and outcomes are different to the information, doesn't mean they were ever wrong.
  24. Come on now BB, you're better than that. Just look at the quality of rider that keeps returning over the last decade or so. Once a rider reaches a certain level and is in high demand they never return. King's Lynn hire the dregs of Premiership speedway.
