  1. I don't think even Shovlar could be that cruel to post it if he wasn't certain.
  2. For me the chippy at Rye is horrid. Had them twice in the Stars PL days, never again.
  3. I wouldn't say so, equalled out by having Covatti at reserve
  4. Good result and Iversen back in the big points. A recovery from losing at home and negates Somerset's win. Just need Kerr to get going again
  5. Even me, Mr Negative thinks King's Lynn will win this with ease. Apart from Doyle the Somerset line-up ain't good enough to wipe the backsides of the Stars team. 40-50
  6. The money from sponsorship today's if far greater. Stadium sponsors from Adrian Flux and club sponsorship with Tru Plant. These names far outstrip those names that have gone before. I would say that King's Lynn could survive with half the crowds with those names backing them up. At the end of the day, sponsorship always comes to an end, fans are for life. When we feel we don't matter we won't turn up. King's Lynn will reap what they sow. They certainly ain't sowing the seeds of supporters. If that continues it's obvious what happens at the end.
  7. Jonathan wasn't to everyone's cup of tea, but he did always put himself on the front line and stood up to every bullet fired on this forum. Always posted press releases, team changes etc very pronto. He did all the same when on social media too, Twitter and Facebook. Always answered questions, even the questionable moments regarding postponement with opposition fans. Lots of people didn't like him but was very approachable and got things done. While stadium improvements are continuing and the new scoreboard is an excellent edition the sound system has seriously been neglected.
  8. Feedback Us disgruntled Stars fans are facing stadium expulsion if we don't tow the party line. Anything slightly negative (social media especially) you get blocked automatically. Promoters of British Speedway are only interested in their butt holes being tickled.
  9. The standard of some of the rider's in this series is horrid. Polish League Speedway is riding high but some of the youngsters are proper guff.
  10. Clubs are in a vicious circle now. They're getting sponsors from TV air time but no money from TV. lose TV they'll lose sponsors. British Speedway has got itself between a rock and a hard place. Because of the above the focus on the bread and butter (the fans) is being neglected. Clubs now run on sponsorship, fans are now the extra revenue whereas years gone by the fans were priority. This isn't going to change any time soon. That's the reality.
  11. At the same time, just imagine how sad and upset you'll feel if the club closes because of the ever dwindling crowds. Just think about that for a moment and who would you blame? Remember the feelings of a few years ago when the club closed for a year and couldn't see a way back?? While we're all disappearing and no replacements filling our spots in the stand as you look around. Who will YOU blame?!?
  12. You keep saying the sports not credible because rider's ride in the Premiership and Championship. How is it different from riding all over Europe?? If British Speedway can get the race night's right doubling up/down doesn't discredit the sport at all. There's no rivalry between clubs in each league. Every club and fans have their rider's to support etc. To make a living, at the very least, British rider's should be allowed to race in both the Premiership and Championship. Sweden has doubling up/down without it being discredited by fans, it should be no different here apart from the BSPA/SCB getting it all wrong.
  13. While you are correct this isn't like you, usually pretty positive and tell me to wind it in?!? What's hit your nerve??
  14. We've seen what Buster thinks of fans already with his appalling behaviour towards the NSSC a few weeks back. Even getting a lackey to cancel the appointment by phone with no reason or apology.
  15. Totally agree, the reason we've said a young 2 point Brit is because that's the standard Andersen's riding at. If the team can cope with his 2 point average they may as well use a 2 point Brit. But yes, replace him with a 4 pointer now is a must.
  16. One of the biggest gripes of the fans is the clubs lack of communication building up to meetings. This still hasn't been corrected. Conference at the end of meetings is all well and good but most don't want to hang around with work / school the next day. As what Robin Brundle has added, that should be seen in results but we sit bottom, 6 points of top 4 with no meetings in hand on 4th. Also we haven't had a full 7 for weeks so all this training lark is pointless and a nonsense. We know how strong we can perform with our full 1-7. The question remains on how often will they all ride together? The club needs to stop the lies that Denmark won't interfere. Just be straight up and honest about the challenges ahead with the supporters. Should never promise that rider's won't be missing any more meetings, that's just nonsense.
  17. Correct, any NL rider on a 2 to bring through is the way to go. We need to stop the training of foreign rider's, especially those that really ain't very good. Andersen would be better off riding in the Championship
  18. Where's this idea of banning fans of the opposite opinion come from? Who's the insider to issue that threat?
  19. Stars continue to nail themselves to the bottom of the table as the top 4 continue to make the gap ever wider. Meetings in hand mean nothing when you're not picking up points with the meetings you are riding.
  20. If that's the case why not say so instead of talking in riddles? If what you say is what's happened everyone would understand
  21. Personally I think Morley would be better than Andersen regardless of how he goes Thursday. Morley certainly could manage a 3 - 3.5 average which could be the difference for a title challenge. Also guaranteed availability every week.
  22. Probably reading to much into that, but is that an admission that they cannot guarantee the fans a full team going forward like they promised last week? Certainly sounds that way to me. Knowing full well that Denmark takes priority on Wednesday's what did they expect when signing Dane's? Surely people running King's Lynn can't be so thick?!?
  23. Jack Smith being back in certainly strengthens King's Lynn's chances. Apart from EF's or fallers he's certain for 3 zeroes.
