  1. And he out scored the guy they want to replace him with
  2. King's Lynn can't maintain their position at the top table with their current support either. There's going to be a huge shift in British Speedway during the winter if Peterborough & Wolverhampton disappear anyway so none of us can call it right now, even the owners.
  3. Just to be clear, it was Jonathan Chapman & Rob Lyon with the help of Roger Warnes Transport that made that move. Same as now, Buster was merely just a (not so) silent owner/promoter. Buster wanted to remain 2nd tier.
  4. Buster is absolutely adamant he's not running King's Lynn next season, so unless a new promoter can be sourced King's Lynn won't be running in 2024. May be the rumours of Peterborough running at Saddlebow could be true if King's Lynn themselves are not coming to tapes. There's no chance of 2 Premiership &/or Championship clubs at one track working.
  5. You been speaking to my Mrs? She promised to keep that between us
  6. You need to show a little respect PAL & stop assuming. He/She might be with a heshe, none-binary thingamabob whatchamacallit it them person
  7. Regularly, but people only choose to remember negativity because the truth hurts everyone with how bad British Speedway currently is. Nobody is enjoying this current state, many are just attending Speedway through habit rather than it's pure entertainment.
  8. Of course total is way way way over £150,000 per annum. That's the bare minimum a club needs in 2023 via MAIN SPONSORS alone is what I meant, especially if we're having to compete against the likes of 'Tru Plant'. No finger pointing at you Alex, you did what you could, having MacInnes this year too. King's Lynn not being helped with dwindling crowds but the reputation over the last 10 years hasn't been good & rightly so Speedway fans have disappeared from the terraces.
  9. That's a lot of money of to you & me of course, but to put those numbers in to perspective, in 2015 Roger Warnes Transport alone put in around £70,000. This showing with the hugely increased costs of 2023 6 figures over 2 seasons is by far NOT enough. If your budget is below £150,000 per annum, you're going to struggle badly. Edit; Just to clarify, this is just income EXCLUDING General admission
  10. If Buster's clever enough, he'd get him signed off injured now & but sign him up for King's Lynn in 2024
  11. Wolverhampton would be the perfect sized track for this
  12. Everyone's very much wondering weather all the rider's will turn up, hope that helps
  13. Each tyre reqires around 14 litres of oil & as they're only single use it adds up to being worse for the environment than a family with 2 cars, including the petroleum burnt per year. Does anyone know the process for the meeting worn tyres? Do these end up in landfill? Burn pits?
  14. The 7 day ban serves no purpose because King's Lynn don't have their next meeting until 9 days after the ban issued. With Laguta already not "chosen" for the Pairs, King's Lynn are not innocent in the fraudulent behaviour.
  15. So, now we've established that rider's, regardless of reason, gets banned for 7 days for none Speedway related injuries, why don't they say: "I dropped my bike on my leg whilst packing the van? Make everything Speedway related." Can't ride today because whilst I was loading my bike in the van it rolled back over my fingers" etc etc. No need to ever ride at your worst track again. Every loophole that gets closed, there's always another.
  16. Morning update; Laguta's been let go due to club costs & Buster will operate in the same manner as Peterborough in R/R & guests at No1 to save money as guests are cheaper than a replacement. This could also see Tarasenko leave Peterborough as he was splitting costs with Laguta. @Flappy @Phil The Ace Do your work guys as I don't believe this. Things are getting totally nuts
  17. No, you just get another medical certificate for the next away meeting & so on & so on. You can't stop it.
  18. Medical certificates will cover away meetings, there's nothing the BSPL could do about it to be honest. I still don't see this happening though
  19. I don't think the series is boring just because Zmarzlik is winning. There are 17 heats he's not in but yet it's him that provides the real entertainment when he misses a gate. In terms of pure speed, only Bewley comes close, but he's struggling with consistency & lacks that fearless ability that Zmarzlik has when behind. We're desperate for all the other rider's to show more character, be harder
  20. Thing is, Brady has said that he's left the club financially stable for the remainder of the season & Buster says the team is over budget. One of them is lying.
  21. Even if there was a £3,000 earnings for the winners, Laguta & Sayfutdinov still wouldn't turn up, why should they.
