  1. Lakeside have the biggest squad the world has ever seen to cover missing rider's but sack a rider because he's going to be missing British Speedway Logic
  2. At home Bjarne would be the best option. It'll be away where we'll see if he can be bothered.
  3. Any questions & answers to share from those able to attend??
  4. I hope those that are attending share the information of what went on.
  5. Looking at other League's it looks like Thursday's could be a problem for some rider's in the UK. Just gone through the Swedish Allsvenskan 2016 teams and there's some strong rider's within those teams/squads. That league runs on Thursday's 🙈
  6. Absolutely love it, great idea. Laser technology now is pretty cheap too
  7. At this moment in time, I wish we were lower league. Right now, Peterborough look a well run, professional outfit with the promotion keeping their fans well informed of any going's on. They're looking more ELITE than we are.
  8. I couldn't care less about a name. Competitiveness and giving their all for the team is far more important imo. The way the team has been set up this season it's obvious we expected and big gun. Now we're not getting one we'll be exceptionally weak, imo on a par with Leicester
  9. John Cook is just supporting his own interest by choosing a Friday. Friday's should be a no go for the EL
  10. I hope you're not a member of the promotion because telling people to go do something else if they don't like is exactly the reason why speedway has sunk so low. 1000's have made that choice and they're not coming back. Don't care what's said, if the team doesn't perform, fans will leave and not come back. Currently, the situation at King's Lynn looks shocking. Repeating that last season under Wagstaff
  11. Buster has already stated it's likely to be Monday and/or Thursday so their's no clash with Denmark.
  12. Utter garbage. The old fuddy duddies running our British Leagues are the cause by not moving with the progress of other competitions. Still believing they hold the power to ban riders when they compete in qualifiers or putting their own National Leagues before the British one. Also the absurdly busy fixture list and thinking we hold the rights to racing every single day of the week. We have to point the finger at ourselves forour leagues failures, not world speedways development.
  13. A few years ago when there way a lot of team riding I'd agree. Today though I'd scrap bonus points all together as there's generally about 3-4 bike length difference between riders in 1st & 2nd most heats today.
  14. Wish you'z in the know would tell me who the last rider is because it don't look like the club can be fookin assed
  15. Looks like Barker will come in on his 2014 EL average of 5.85 1. Batchelor 6.91 2. Barker 5.85 3. Lambert 6.59 4. Korneliussen 5.95 5. Schlein 6.24 6. Wilkinson 3.20 7. Rose 3.00 Ave: 37.74 (2.76 available)
  16. Just a thought, if we have Barker as a Double-Upper then that will also mean we can include Porsing, Stead etc as squad members, the same as Lakeside's done?? With them being EL assets we get the dibs on them all too.
  17. It sounds like it was Simon's choice. He would have had to prioritise King's Lynn fixtures and that's what caused the problem. His sponsorship commitments were to Peterborough so clearly the conflict of interest has played out in this one. Blame still partially on the side of the Stars promotion for not getting the understanding of this in the first place.
  18. You make it sound as though you know who it is? All you need to answer is, will we be bouncing off the wall with delight or ready to kill someone?
  19. The fans wanted entertainment in 2016, Wilko will certainly deliver some of that. Will certainly upset some of the big boys with his trapping.
  20. Let's get one thing clear, and Buster had made note of it his press release. The rules for 2016 were cleared by the previous chairman and if he was in charge he would have dealt with the 2016 rules differently. He said in a radio interview that 2016 was a write off and is working on plans for 2017 already to get ahead of the game. So, in that respect, why would he come out and clarify a situation that was rubber stamped BEFORE he was chairman. Saying that, it has been abysmal that for the coming season we (his own clubs bread & butter supporter's) have been left in the dark.
  21. It's 'A meal' & which restaurant you going too?
  22. 1st option so red for me sir I agree with SL too, that if Iversen's GP series falls flat we should stand firm and just say thanks but no thanks. I don't want to see our club treated 2nd fiddle for someone earning extra pocket money.
  23. I prefer this forum to an individual club one simply because outside opinion can be added. To many people are a bit cliquey on club forums, you dare go against the grain and you'll know about it.
