Normally I'd give the Lakeside track some stick for producing crap racing on TV but tonight, apart from that Tobias MuesliKack fella Wolves have been terrible

Anyone buzzing their nips off for this one. For me it's getting a look at the new boy Milik and Robert Lambert. Other than that should be a dead cert home win. _____________________________________________________________________ Press Release from klstars.co.uk STARS OUT FOR REVENGE AGAINST LAKESIDE Posted on June 22nd, 2015 Thursday night, 7:30pm, sees the King’s Lynn ‘Roger Warnes Transport’ Stars host Lakeside at the Adrian Flux Arena, and after last weeks defeat to the Hammers, nothing less than a win will do. The Stars return to Saddlebow Road almost a month after their last home fixture due to the World Cup break, and boss Rob Lyon has changed his team around for the meeting with new signing Vaclav Milik set to make his debut. It will the first time this season that the top five will be in a different order as Lyon attempts to get his side back to winning ways. Stars number one and captain Niels-Kristian Iversen is the only rider to keep his position. Lyon has switched Nicklas Porsing to the number two position in the team with Robert Lambert moving to number four. Heat leader Kenneth Bjerre vacates the number five position for Milik and will race at number three instead, while reserve pairing Ashley Morris and Lewis Kerr remain unchanged. Explaining his change, Lyon said: “I have decided to move the team line up around for this match and freshen things up to see how best we accommodate our new signing. Hopefully the move will work out well for us and we can get our season back on track once again.” The visiting Hammers have been forced into two changes for the meeting. Rider replacement will be used for Kim Nilsson (Swedish fixture) and at reserve, Carl Wilkinson replaces Ashley Birks (Sheffield fixture). Gates will open at 6pm on Thursday with the parade taking place at 7:30pm. Admission prices: Adults £17, Concessions £14, Juniors £5, Kids under 11 go FREE. King’s Lynn Stars 1.

Nobody is asking for an individual meeting. What we thought may happen is some goings on for the league meetings. This is where it has drastically shown the loss of Johnny Chapman. During his time there were lots going on. Theme nights for kids, cheap airhorn events, fancy dress etc etc. Remember, a massive thing was done around Busters 20th anniversary season. Us fans were hoping we'd get something to celebrate for 50 years. It's not a small issue, it's a massive landmark for King's Lynn Stars. Doing f'all is unacceptable imo

Barker was originally booked by Lakeside wasn't he?

Of course it's right. I'm not allowed to just pick up roots and move to Australia without meeting their work permit & financial criteria so the same stands here. Can't maintain a 7 average here, see you later. The only issue for me is the same or similar policy can't be given to the crap Europeans too

Averages for 2015 only, upto and including last night

Nothing to discuss. Seasons gone flat for me. Desperate for next week to come round to have a look at Milik and see what Lambert can do again but everything else for me is just muh.

Utter rubbish. If Pedersen rode his bike the way he does on the road he'd of probably be up for death by dangerous riding by now. You can't take what goes on in sport to the real world. It's far too separated. Stupid to make comparison. But, at the end of the day I'd still rather have Pedersen than Hancock lining up in my team. Hancock has gone up 10 fold in my appreciation of him though. Love it when a rivalry spills over, brings an exciting edge to the sport. Something that's seriously lacking over the last few years.

Certainly see why Greg flipped his lid on that clip

Bravo Greg Hancock. If he wasn't a legend to some, surely he is now. As good as, if not better than the Boyce v Gollob. What speedway should be about, rivalries alive and kicking

Dreadful meeting. The racing today will put the multi 100's of fans from attending meetings ever again. I hope the BSI realise this is now 2015, not 1985. Us fans are desperate for FTG's, follow the leader racing we normally see week in week out. All this overtaking is ridiculous, pathetic and very dangerous. I could never watch that week in week out

I get the feeling you have a problem with Lambert

Yes please 👍

I want to see us bring back Andrej Lebedev out of anyone around Porsing's average. Replacement for Schlein will be incredibly tough as he was going pretty good this year & a great person to have around the club. As for Bjerre, any fooker would be better than that deekhead.

Yeah all right Shovlar, wind it in. We're trying to be nice to you guys, don't spoil it

Pearson and Tatum gave Darcy the opportunity on a plate, even giving him the exact sentences to repeat and failed to take any of it in. Even when asked if he saw this as a last chance he pretty much chuckled under his breath with a no not at all. Arrogance was in abundance in front of the camera's. Didn't seem to have any regret at all.

Even though we were humiliated in front of the camera's there was some good racing. That I'd say was one of the best prepared tracks for Poole in a while with a racing line inside and out. Poole get a lot (& often justified) criticism, tonight all round they get a hell of a lot of praise from me. Absolutely top draw stuff from Magic too, do love watching that lad

I think Garrity is throttle jockey nutcase. Ben Barker Mark II. My opinion hasn't changed that he's a danger to others.

No idea how the referee just came to that conclusion to exclude rider in white in heat 11

Well, I'm on the side of Magic on this one. Regardless of the meaning of the meeting, if your International team come calling you ride. Just how it should be in any sport. On the flip side of that, Poland shouldn't be allowed to run an international meeting without the approval of the FIM. That's how it is in any other sport that the hierarchy has to approve. Onto the fixture, would Poole have to run a PL 6 pointer before a facility is granted or can a rider be deemed as withholding his services before they've actually been missing.

You may have mistaken that there had been an ASH-TECH stamp on the engine case as the manufacture. It's never been so that ASH-TECH have manufactured a speedway engine, they're just and always have been a GM tuner

Ok, what's mythical about what I said, explain? The reason the PL isn't packed out is because that just like the EL, speedway in this country over price itself to the masses. Only us die hards roll up week in week out even when we're not enjoying it. I keep saying to myself I'm gonna start picking and choosing meetings but I just can't leave it alone. There are mugs the same as me which is keeping speedway alive and the promoters know that and will continue to chuck a pound on the admission prices year after year because they know it'll get paid by the gullible.

I'm an EL team fan & I seriously miss the PL. The rider's at that level seem far more appreciative of the paying fan. It's their bread and butter. The rider's that flit around Europe come in, earn pocket money (to them) then go again not really paying any attention to any of us that spend our dough. You even see it with rider's that double up / down, the best camaraderie is with their fellow PL rider's / fans. I don't really care much about the cost difference from EL - PL, local fans that travel to King's Lynn, Ipswich & Peterborough tend to feel they get better value for money from the PL by purely the racing alone. It doesn't matter a jot who lines up in the 1-7, it matters what's happening on the shale and I can confidently say the racing was better at PL level at King's Lynn even when we battered teams 60-30. I'd also guess Ipswich and Peterborough fans may feel similar in not really feeling the need to return to the EL?? I'd be well happy if we bumped down a level again. I'm actually fed up with unappreciative "Super Stars".

Obviously not. Lyon or Buster would have done what they can. Just a thought, maybe Buster's anger in the British semi upset some potential guest bookings

Well I'm pleased Masters is in. Think he'll do a better job than some are expecting.
