Haza

And all of a sudden certain riders are doing much better for the club since those 3 have departed .

That certainly wouldn’t be no great surprise .

All I’m saying there seems to have been a change in certain riders since he left not sure if it’s coincidence or not ?

You got it in one there it’s not how many you get in the stadium it’s how many is declared for HMRC purposes. British speedway must be the only sport that doesn’t announce attendance figures on a weekly basis .

Buster dislikes TV meetings but as you say has never done bugger all to try and attract more fans in on Tv nights . Wouldn’t it be good to see promotors live up to their title and actually promote.

Any coincidence he’s gone better since Brady left ?

I’m sure I can remember in the past a club could get fined for an under strength team - as you rightly say it is robbing the paying public

It’s not to late for that to happen yet

I hope I’m wrong but once Brady left then Jacobsen and rumoured now Pickering both Brady’s buddies and Buster said we are over budget I thought it’s obvious Lambert will be back .

Have been saying for 10 days or more Simon Lambert will be back in he side

It’s always a bargain basement team I have to agree BUT it’s better than the club breaking the bank win the play off final and at the end of the year can’t pay the riders and go bankrupt. Others have come and gone at Lynn but one thing you can’t take way from Buster we’ve had a stable club over the years and some credit must be given for that .

True - guess time will tell

With Stars v Leicester on Eurosport on Monday I wonder if the stock pit gate will play up again or the stadium get electrical problems or a dodgy weather forecast- as we all no Buster don’t like Tv meetings .

I’ve thought for a while Ulrich farewell meeting on the 2nd July could be a farewell to the Showground meeting as well and Panthers to finish their home meetings at KL .

Never said we would return to Saturday racing it’s not possible the move away from Saturday was mainly because of the GPs - I was just saying Saturday did create bigger crowds especially visiting fans and also children on a school night as a kid I’d never been allowed to go to speedway with school the next day so there is a number of reasons crowds have dwindled over the years not just the more obvious ones .

Will say this back in the 70s especially some team only visited once in a season Belle Vue prime example as both Lynn and Belle Vue at that time was Saturday night speedway so when Belle Vue visited it was go that night or wait till the following season now when Belle Vue or any other PL club you oh well go next time . And Saturday night speedway you got visiting fans sometimes even a coach now mid week racing that doesn’t happen. Of course bigger crowds better atmosphere obviously but won’t happen now sadly

Totally agree thinking back to the 80s points limit was 50or 52 ? now the limit isn’t even a win 46 that’s how much speedway year on year has been run into the ground - sky sports money was wasted and what I see as what could have been the great relaunch was after the covid season that was the last chance saloon and what they do carry on as before . Buster might have his faults but as Bagpuss has said he saved KL not just the once but several times if he wasn’t around now after Brady walked out what would happen now ??

At the moment- as I said on the Lynn thread I’m sure Simon Lambert will soon be involved in Lynn or Pboro most likely Lynn

Yes he’s now two clubs to bankroll instead of one

I would say that’s a given a 10pm finish more time for punters to buy his burgers and pint he’s every incentive to string meetings out .

That might well be the case but the team is over budget so one easy way to get it back on budget

He does he’s financially responsible for two clubs now this is not good for either club

I think you are correct the foundations are being laid for a worse team think that’s obvious- it’s not that simple just packing up for the season wouldn’t the club lose it bond money and probably the licence . Won’t be long before the use it or lose it cry goes out - this now also has a knock on effect to Pboro as well Buster responsible financially for both clubs . As for 2024 got get through this season first .

Think it’s get this season over and done with and regroup in the winter other than finishing ahead of Pboro in the league other than pride little to race for sadly .

I’m not for one moment saying he did I’m not having a go
