If that's what happened, then yes.... I have never seen the point of glossing over the bad issues. Much prefer for people to say it like it is. Nobody said it was easy, but its part and parcel of the game they choose to be in. I always thought that was the idea of the track walk …...

That's irrelevant , we lost by a huge margin... Kerr and TJ never beat an opponent the whole meeting, and Proctor, Riss and Andersen only managed to do it in one race apiece. So if you want to keep repeating something, how about repeating that....

Woffy said on the screen last week, 'you only need a couple of laps to get the bike sorted', How come the Stars needed 4 races??? No doubt Lambert knew his advice was wrong after his first ride. Why didn.t they change it then? . I think Schroek is just trying to justify their lame performance last night. but In truth the team put up a terrible display, on that is regarded as the best track in the country. 2 riders scored 22 of the 36pts, whereas the other 5 could only muster 14 points between them . That says everything. Instead of always blowing sunshine up their arses, I think its about time the riders were told the truth. Either perform on a regular basis or get someone else who will. The Stars team was never strong enough to be in contention, but we expected better performances then we are getting.......

Probably I'm getting it from reading all your posts. You must have a book full of excuses ready for everyone who has a bad day. The truth being , he is not hitting them big numbers like last year, but you don't become a bad ride over night. Watching him at Belle Vue Saturday in the SON shows he' more than capable, and not having too bad a time. Is he.... Strange that...

Ward and Olsen were probably the best riders coming from the back on any track. Both exceptionally talented.. Pity the crowds didn't appreciate them more when they rode here...

Having watched speedway for more years than I care to remember, I can assure you Wolves is a trick track that give massive advantage to the accomplished rider. Inexperience riders fail to understand the long straight and tight bends. An accomplished rider will make the gate and ride the line. Only when he makes a mistake, will his advantage be challenged. I have watched many races from Wolves and when someone comes from the back its usually because the rider in front has drifted out too far or made a mistake.. When I said that Wolves track favours the gater, it means once you are in front the ball is in your court... I have seen home specialists like Woffy and Freddie struggle when behind, thus illustrating the difficulty when missing the gate.

As per usual you are only reading into comment of what you want to read. The truth being I never mentioned anything about his equipment . the only word I used was 'application'., and you don't need to be a magician to understand that. Monmore has always favoured the gater, and I sure all the riders, including Lambert, knows that as well. To score reasonable points It is imperative to get out that gate. When a club has only one renown heat leader it is expected he will lead the way, so in that instance he let the club and the fans down... Rory on the other hand knew how important it was to gate well and subsequently scored 16 points... You're right it's not rocket science, its application.... 5 points is not good enough....

There can be no excuses, when a SGP rider only scores 5 and don't win a race, one has to question his application. When you're a one man team, then this man has to perform..... Well done Rory for giving 100% every single race...

Kasper and MPT are more than adequate to fill the reserve berths, and I'm sure if either can up their scores then Kerr will be more than efficient to occupy them spaces. But that not the problem. We need a No2 capable of scoring descent points every meeting. especially away from home....

This team is a collection of riders who are known for their battling qualities, not for their renown brilliance. All the riders are capable of having a brilliant meeting, but they wont do it every week. In Lambert they have a top rider, a No1 any team would be proud of, but then we have a massive problem. Riss and Jorgensen are two quality riders, but they are not renown heatleaders and usually struggle when riding against established top riders. Procter and Kerr will never be good enough to become heatleaders, leaving us short of a second top rider. Until that position is filled we will continue along this same vane . Helped by the grippy track, we should win the majority of home matches. Whether we can win enough away points to reach the top 4 is another matter....

To me the score was no surprise. It was always going to be close. Swindon have an extremely top heavy side and will always benefit from that strength. (They provided 10 out of the 15 heat winners). However, their weakness has always been their reserves, and subsequently they provided 11 out if the 15 last places. Personally, I would have preferred a team like the Robins where they have the opportunity of have many riders capable of being winners . I said all along, its all very well having a strong middle order, but without them heater leaders, like tonight, we are forever relying on Robert to win them important races.. That's not always going to happen..... There only thing good about tonight was the score...……..

Sure got that wrong, and when that happens I'm the first to admit it... The Stars team performed far better than one imagined... on the night... So well done But we still lost the trophy, and that's the be all of it. Just because they put in a good performance last night, shouldn't hide the fact we lost another chance to be victorious. As ever..

When the fixture mattered, in what was the biggest match of the Stars long history, we still succumbed to 4 consecutive 5-1 's and later trailed by 18 points . Now, in a match of little importance , and already 10 points adrift, this has to be the most uninspiring match possible... If you could think of reasons why this sport is in such low interest , this match highlights them all. I will be most surprised it the Pirates don't rattle up 60 points, at least....

Having supported Lynn for more years than I care to remember, the team situation this year has come as no surprise.. Fans have to understand that we are not usually born winners and have excepted that for years. All the noise about going one better than last year is silly talk. Last year was an exception, although it was ours for the taking, even then everyone conspired against us to lose. We need to forget it, its gone. we are back to our normal place. It was always on the cards that this year, we again, will be also rans. Every TOM DICK and HARRY who follow speedway are aware of that, no doubt Buster is as well. But it doesn't matter. Us mugs will continue to go paying out decent monies watching a team without a hope in hell of winning. That is Kings Lynn Speedway......

Sure is a strange world we live in. When I voice a concern early on about the quality of this team, I was accused and rubbished for always being negative. It appears everybody is now feeling the same way, and it seems OK to say these things now. Strange world, strange people....

I wasn't one who laughed at the suggestion. My immediate thoughts were Andersen was included so he could compete his number of meetings to verify his true low average , thus creating the opportunity to bring in a second heat leader. But that was me being positive.... But why would Lynn spend so much time giving Andersen fitness training, team building if they were to drop him at the first chance. So am thinking now he is in for the duration, liking it or not...

The only reason he is in the team is his cheapness. He's a nice lad, but not good enough to ride in the top division.

I didn't expect the Stars win last night, but I expected better than only 3 heat winners. It appears Eric Riss was the only one to come away with any credit... Capitulation against your worse enemy, doesn't do anybody any favours. Its all very well having all this fitness rescheme and team building program, but the basic element has to be ability. That is where we come up short... The only thing this result has done is confirmed what many of us was thinking... When Lambert has a bad day, we have no backup to cover him......

I am grasping it crystal clear, I understand that four riders will be named by the Team Manager, but what stopping opposing fans voting for the weakest to suit their team and riders, ?? Like I say , a ridiculous idea. Keep it simple and address the real problems, not make new ones.....

I agree, one of the most stupid ideas I can remember. What's stopping opposing fans voting for the weakest riders???? Turns the meeting into a lottery...…… If they want to use the social media to connect with their fans why not have the schedule and program on your phone/handset. Fair enough, have heats 14 and 15 for dominated riders, but let the Manager make the decisions..

Although your post included an emoji, it does nothing to hide the meaning of it . Instead of making jive remarks about the effort the work and money that has obviously gone into the presentation of each of those clubs, you should be complimenting them for trying to make this sport look more professional. When making you predictions you ought to remember, had it not been for Buster there would not be a Premiership league for your cheaply attired riders to compete in

If they can perform as well as they look, we should be in for an interesting season...…

I have reasoned this before. I even wondered how long it will be before they rename the league as the CHAPMANSHIP

I'll agree with you there. Wisbech is not the sort of place I like to go any more. Some streets have changed that much you question your desire to walk down it.... Wisbech has been going downhill for years The culture has now changed to something you wouldn't recognised... , but must say the new Tesco store is one of the plus factors.... When they demolished the stadium it hadn't been used for years, it was just a dumping ground for both people and rubbish..

Strange you say that, in the village where I live , I noticed this morning, on the way to the local shop, there were no less then 6 bill boards advertising STOCK CAR racing from the same AFA. yet you never see one for the Speedway. I hate Stock Cars with a vengeance, but I couldn't help but notice the Adverts..
