Nope, absolutely nothing to do with Scott or John. Not related at all

that's nothing to do with Scott

No way will the new track be ready by the 11th April
-
Is that far enough in for the Speedway track or is that the new kerb for greyhounds and the Speedway track will be inside that??

https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/17498902.matt-ford-will-leave-pirates-in-safe-hands-and-neil-middleditch-will-go-with-him/ I think this proves the incompetence of Middleditch that he can't win without Ford. So once Ford goes, he goes to save face and gain unworthy legendary status.

Purchasing 3 clubs and purchasing a rider as an asset, Speedway obviously isn't short on money for one man if you believe what he's said in the past. That money spent on Speedway is only generated from Speedway and not from Stock Cars
-
I'd of left out Andersen, MPT and Kerr and gone down a different route.
-
Wow, there certainly has been no effort at all in amending the new track shape. Swindon fans have to be concerned, the worry has to be, will they even complete the season??
-
This drip feeding nonsense does nothing as proven here. Riss is confirmed and the team is now complete and the topic of conversation is magazine and newspaper sales
-
Anyone read the Speedway Star and Iversen's column yet?!?

Rob Godfrey interview in Speedway Star
Daniel Smith replied to iwright71's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Glasgow are working just as hard, if not harder to promote. Unfortunately they're cutting back because the investment isn't resulting in increased attendances. -
What fans are left already are Zombie's. Sycophantic Zombies

Speedway has been predominantly gate and go but only for the winner of the race, no question. But most of the entertainment in races happens at the back. Especially SGP's, Polish and Swedish leagues. Also a good number of British Speedway meetings are the same. I just can't get my head around how it's just become acceptable at King's Lynn to be happy with 1 or 2 good races a meeting?? Over the last 3 seasons, King's Lynn imo has been No3 for THE worst meetings in terms of entertainment, only just better than Leicester and Swindon. It's one of the only UK tracks that after the first lap rider's are spread out with 2 or 3 bike lengths between them consistently. It's one of the reasons I watch Stars meetings mainly away from home and will continue to do so, but because of the new owner I shall not be at Ipswich or Peterborough either. So I'm only down to probably 4-5 Stars meetings in 2019. The lowest ever in 30yrs following this club. King's Lynn for à huge part of that 30yrs was my No1. Dumped partner's, relationship and wedding anniversaries dropped, family and friends birthdays skipped all for King's Lynn Speedway. 1 man is responsible for killing my passion and I can never forgive him for that. King's Lynn Speedway is still my No1 club but now only from afar, I could never allow myself to give another penny to that man.
-
Don't think that's true at all, the Pole's certainly wouldn't stand for regular gate and go racing. That sounds like making excuses for how bad King's Lynn is. Totally disagree with Tree's too, saying a lot of UK tracks are like King's Lynn.
-
Glad to see you admit racing isn't great at the AFA. It's certainly not right and to expect fans to just except gate and go though. The sport is going through a tough time so the absolute most important thing for a promoter to do is put on a track that doesn't suit gating. With the team put together the track needs to be adaptive with racers like Lambert, Riss, Jorgensen and MPT. Gate and go doesn't suit the side that's been put together. It's awful to think that Speedway fans are now happy to just see a team win with gate and go. What is the point of even watching Speedway if that's the expectation??
-
And they wouldn't of topped the table had Kerr and Andersen remained in the team. With them back in the side and no Iversen this team is horrendous. In terms of departments that is the No1 (Lambert), No3 (Riss) and No5 (Proctor). We look horrid, especially in the all important 2nd half of meetings. No2 (Kerr) and No4 (Jorgensen) is terrible. No6 (Toft) and No7 (Andersen) is very weak, probably asking Toft to 6-7 heats a meeting. It is not a well organised team. In all 3 departments of the team it looks like we're looking to have 3 rider's deliver week in week out in Lambert, Jorgensen and MPT.
-
And people are ignoring the fact that the teams fortunes in 2018 only turned around when Kerr and Andersen were replaced. They're back in the team, with no Iversen as heatleader backup. This team is seriously lacking in all departments.

He's being sarcastic for a second time. Playground backchat type response. He's saying Swindon are a bigger farce than anything King's Lynn are doing. As a track photographer, he's not likely to have a bad word about King's Lynn, is he?
-
Jonathan Chapman's idea which continued while Rob Lyon was present. Once Rob went the supporters meetings stopped and remained that way ever since. So that buck firmly stops at Keith's door.

I'm not sure but I believe it's one of the reasons Buster purchased the field across the stadium. Stock pits will go on the main carpark and the field will be for spectators. Not sure that will be a problem currently though right now in this current economic climate.
-
The back straight carpark has never belonged to the stadium. It's not just the raising costs Buster needs to complain about, that carpark was (and still is) earmarked for the town's park and ride system. I'm sure it'll now be a while before park and ride is back on the agenda with footfall in all town centres on a rapid decline.

Far kin hell. £1 to park, £18 to get in, £3 for a programme, £1 to sit down. £23 for the tripe served up a King's Lynn, what a bargain
-
Just looked around all the online press releases and can't find it mentioned??
-
It's near on £25 to sit at Belle Vue isn't it?
-
£20 now of you want to park your car and sit in the (not so) grandstand.
