  1. Wright came into the corner a bit to hot and completely wiped Josh out. It should have been Wright excluded.
  2. The King's Lynn promotion have warned and advised fans tonight will be a one-off as it's the first meeting of the season. Start times will now be adhered to regardless
  3. Josh was injured having a good old fashioned punch-up with Wright after their crash
  4. It's true Josh G and Wright scrapping good and proper. It's how Josh injured his hand, not the crash I want to congratulate the promotion tonight. No tractors in the middle very few grading breaks and the meeting flowed beautifully and finished by 9.45. They've also made it be known, from now on the meeting will not be delayed if people can't get to the meeting's on time.
  5. King's Lynn Kids are off school and opening night of the season so advertising should be maximised, so you would think anyway. The only thing being advertised around the town is Stock Cars for Bank Holiday weekend
  6. Championship Speedway at more expensive prices than the Premiership Un-beeeeee-lieeeeeee-vable
  7. A better bargain than standard admission WHEN a meeting gets abandoned before heat 10
  8. Just started reading the latest Speedy Star, Jon Cook must have been completely p!$$€d up when doing his Premiership review. Spat my drink out when saw King's Lynn 7th He "don't think they'll really challenge for the Play-Offs" and the team "looks a fairly average pick" The tw@ even has Somerset above us
  9. £15.79 a meeting and you haven't got the hassle of potential threat of none result rain-offs I shall be purchasing my first ever season ticket
  10. Proper interval is missing for a reason, it's not needed. TV is the reason for how I've set the schedule and every meeting should run the same. Other things can't be helped with delays, that part and parcel. The thing that grates is when run smoothly, once the previous heats riders have left the track why is the 2mins not always on straight away? No excuse for that.
  11. It's not just Simon's testimonial It's the way meetings have been run since the return to the top league. There certainly is far more faffing about than the PL days, it can only really be put down to trying to get the tills dinging through food and drink. There have been times where intervals have dragged on for near 30mins when in truth no interval is required at all. The race day schedule should be the same for all and fits in with TV too and be strictly adhered to by the clerk of the course and referee: From Ht1 2mins to Ht2 2mins - 5mins Ht2 - 5mins Ht3 - 5mins Ht4 - 5mins Break - 5mins (adverts - track grade) Ht5 - 5mins Ht6 - 5mins Ht7 - 5mins Ht8 - 5mins Break - 5mins (adverts - track grade) Ht9 - 5mins Ht10 - 5mins Ht11 - 5mins Ht12 - 5mins Break - 5mins (adverts - track grade) Ht13 - 5mins Ht14 - 5mins Ht15 - 10mins (Inc advert, heat line-up, track grade) = 1hr35mins Anyone could accept that, the obvious further delays come with the sport but when things go smoothly there's no need for meetings to go beyond that time scale.
  12. Am looking forward to seeing the competitive season under way for the Stars
  13. I'm all for a 7.30 heat 1. If there's people still queuing to get in at that time, it's simple - fook'm
  14. Unfortunately, delays are inevitable at King's Lynn. Low sun the main reason
  15. They haven't spent £360k. They've given Gerhard a guarantee of that figure over a time period, say 3-4 years. If Gerhard hasn't received that number of sales the BSPA will pay the remaining balance or a renegotiated deal to be carried over. Gerhard certainly hasn't knocked up £360k worth of equipment
  16. I think that's a different kind of sport that's​ only allocated to the adult channels
  17. Do you have any idea at all how the bond works? It's for each individual clubs protection. Example, if King's Lynn come the end of the season owes money then the King's Lynn bond is there to cover King's Lynn debts. The bonds are not clubbed together so a club can go £200,000 in the red and be bailed out, that makes no sense at all to do that.
  18. Don't think Troy has proved to be a class act at the top level just yet but more and more riders these days seem to be hitting their peak in their 30's so still time yet
  19. To the Leicester fans - does the new track look encouraging? Some riders seem to think so but the fans view is far more important
  20. They'll be of higher quality + different manufacturer most probably Just seen the pics again and Holder doesn't have a new suit. He's wearing his Swedish club suit
