Haza

I bet they want the club to take the grandstand with them what with from memory an asbestos roof - the cost of dismantling and reassembling would be astronomical cheaper to scrap it an buy new - seats would be worth keeping though

In my opinion he thinks he’s far better than he actually is - hopefully the talent he had will win through in the end

If Buster remains owner / promoter of Panthers there is 0% chance of Chris Holder being in the side . I hope for Pboro and Lynn sake the link is broken and Panthers get a new owner both clubs will benefit from this and get back to true rivalry between the clubs .

If Panthers going to be under the points limit with Andersen I think the club might as well roll the dice and take a gamble on a new young rider from Europe least it’s building a team with the future in mind - Hans sadly is a spent force a shadow of his former self .

Absolutely agree - there doesn’t have to be a all out brawl to get a reaction from the crowd just banter rivalry as well between local clubs seems to have vanished- the rivalry between KL and Ipswich in the 70s and 80 s was second to none . Guess it’s a different world now were you have to be careful what you say and do not to upset a few people .

I really don’t get why you’d say that ? like I said he is marmite but he’s box office entertainer he’d definitely increase crowds levels where ever he rides so why’d you’d not want him racing in the UK is a total mystery to me .

Nicki Pedersen like him or not is possibly the last rider of a generation with a certain something that got a reaction from the fans he’s marmite definitely but he is box office

Yea absolutely don’t we all BUT it’s entertainment/ sport or sport /entertainment industry either way going back to those days the crowds was massive compared to today promoters knew how to promote rather than take people for granted- American wrestling is contrived rubbish but they do wrestle in full stadiums. Not comparing speedway to wrestling but fans want some controversy even when Buster went into the refs box it got the crowd going .

Or is he another Killdiman and never starts the season

If the KK of old turns up this is a good team BUT time will tell

So who the promoter is Buster still at the helm or is it just Brady and Allit ?

He’s a has been sadly had his day - just being realistic- that said I’d love to be proved wrong hope I am if your talking about KK

If he sees the season out before being replaced I will be amazed - that said I hope I’m wrong

Only slightly better than when the club signed Lewis Bridger - Bridger came out of retirement to ride least KK is still actively riding but the centre grey or green will see more of him than the chequered flag I feel

Wouldn’t hold ya breath on that one

But as you say Alex knows what the fans want as he’s a fan himself

At 5 grand a meeting I shouldn’t think there is a mention

If drops to reserve maybe 10 home or away moves back into the top 5 then what ? A poor run back to reserves he is what he is sadly tried and tested - why would anyone want to repeat failure? In the sense of not making the play offs - have the same team then wonder why the team fail - Jorgensen had his chance

I certainly hope he isn’t but if Jorgensen is in the side I bet he is personally I hope Alitt is history at KL

I’ve not been for a few seasons reason we stopped was the track was over watered and rough loads of fallers the track would come good after 8-9 heats but we paid for 15 heats .

On the other hand once the team is announced the club will have little to say until the fixture list is released- it’s a difficult one name the 6 riders in one hit and interest slides over the winter or drag it releasing names every few weeks and keep people taking about the sport either way it’s a long time to the opening meeting . As much as any team announcements admission prices will be crucial I see Sheffield is going to be £22 plus £3 for program-price things too high it drive more fans away - Gas Electric and Food will come way before a night at. the speedway in 2023

Guess once deal with Buster is sorted with the new promotion is announced first . .

I get what you’re saying but does make me wonder rather in paying wages to foreign riders on the downhill slope wouldn’t be better to invest that money in British talent? Of course British speedway can’t afford top European riders 6k a meeting I’ve heard Dudek wanted and Lambert paid 5k a meeting by Belle Vue at the end of the season play offs

All this talk of Iversen Bjeer Kaspzak at KL is this were British speedway is at ? Older riders on the downhill side to retirement having final pay day out of British speedway- there was a time clubs would bring in young talent from Europe and they’d want to come here .

At the time the club signed him I never thought he’d come close to a 7.71 average for Lynn as when he visited with other clubs he was always poor to say the least with visiting teams - good luck at Leicester let’s hope the move doesn’t bite us in the bum
