Teams can be changed. If your team is weak and not working there will be riders elsewhere hitting form and becoming available. There always is. Maybe somebody in Poland not getting the rides. Becomes available. Team reshuffle. That’s not to say a rider can’t b3 tempted now. Hample king gomolski Lawson Nichols Allen and what ever else fits wouldn’t be a bad side at all. I don’t see too many last places there.

At least they didn’t mention your age

Buster will be owning a 4th team then!

I put something like this a season ago and you questioned my age too! What’s the deal with that? I don’t think he is naive at all. I think the guys who don’t attend regularly but spend 24/7 moaning about it are sad acts that do damage the image of the team and the sport. Those guys aren’t as Important as they think they are and while some of what they say is right many times I’ve been to meetings to come home look on here and it’s been views that are completely different from those at the track. There was a buzz last year. I know that oppinion may offend some but it was a very pleasant place to be. A few areas of improvement but at the end of the day it’s sport. If you want gaurenteed entertainment in an allotted time slot then try the theatre or cinema. And get over the age thing ffs hes not naive and I back his comments 100%. Get over the self importance. His comments ring fairer than most of the critical ones. There is a lot speedway can improve on but bleating on 24/7 is just toxic and it stinks out the whole thing. It’s the equivalent of taking a dump next to an 8/10 Christmas dinner. Ruins every bodies day just because you don’t like the peas and sprouts. Alex keep the faith mate!

Hample? Nichols whateverfits

THJ riding in UK in 2019 ?
Danny Connor replied to racers and royals's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I’d have him back. He’s entertainment. I may be in the minority here though but Christ was he exciting to watch. -
What about Jarek Hample. Wasn’t he open to the uk last season?
-
Rr was the answer. Common sense didn’t prevail.
-
Did it? Amending the rule so an illegible rider could ride for a team.? What ever the reason. It was good in terms of non farcical. But it was bad because it was yet another thing to go against lynn. At the end of the day rr and a number 8 would have been the least farcical and most integral thing. No rules needed to be amended for that. It’s history but it’s still sour. As was the toft injury and exclusion. It was a great season and everything but I’m left feeling like an Irishman has tarmacked my driveway at a “good price”. I hope that common sense prevails in future and the rr option is taken/forced

He was a rick frost asset. Rick frost had a deal with Matt ford for 2 seasons. I’m unsure what happened when that expired -
I’d take Musielak to lynn any day if you guys don’t want him. He may be a gater but he is good value on that average!

I’ve seen you say this about attendances before. Last season was definately better than the season before. As you would expect after the disaster that was 2017 but even in the years leading up to that it’s no worse and we are 1 of the tracks where you seem to see quite a lot of youngsters. I’m not saying everything is rosy. But I am saying that you are wrong on the “crowds falling away year on year” and it really pisses me of because people would take that dribble as gospel. And that’s why I don’t like the consistent doom postrs. because everybody gravitates to negativity and in the crowds falling year on year part that’s fake news. Lynn is much much better since Robin Brundle has came on board. The crowds are more included and there is a lot more on for the kids. There is still too much tractor driving and there is still other areas where it could be improved. Presenting, It’s a shame gavin Carney had to quit the presenting because although very green he had a youthful touch. The current guy does his best but it’s a very flat thing. Gavin had an energy. Walking about the fans asking questions! The PA system that often cuts in and out is a constant problem and I think some areas have issues with the tannoys. All this is constructive criticisms about a team he owns. What you put about falling crowds year on year was an assumption. And people who don’t go to lynn will think you are right when you are wrong

That’s how kings lynn did it last season. 1 announcement a week pretty much. You guys are top league on a budget. You will have a competitive team but I don’t see any expensive signings. I see a team with strength in depth with riders the big spenders overlook. That’s not a negative. Lynn last season were predicted to finish last. But t means holding out a bit for other teams to fill up so riders have fewer options in negotiations. Makes sense -
I know there is a lot of Micky taking about that but around the year 2000 that was the setup and it was pretty good. Weakening the middle tier and getting the strength to half the top league is probably the best thing To come out of it all structure wise. I hope they stick to it. i hope the things that haven’t been said get improved on. Better more reliable tracks (kildermand in the star), race day experience (fix sound systems, cut hold ups), less rain offs (more tracks introducing covers) and most importantly better advertising that the sport exists. Make the stadiums look smart and tidy too. That will improve the image! These are things you can’t really make rules for though. But they are common sense ways that the sport can improve. The structure is there. The sport in general is good. It’s just the way it’s put out at times on these fronts. Riders moaning about track conditions. Make sure the tracks are perfect! No riders moaning. 1 less negative. Onto the next! Rain offs, reduce them with covers, next!

I think both Peterborough and Ipswich will be on a tight budget. No signings until after xmas earliest. Busterwill probably give both Louis and Ged a budget after he knows what sort of sponsorship there is likely to be. The riders in demand will be taken and you guys will get the riders who are still available. It would be nice if you do have a few exciting names. But I think you will probably have an untried assessed rider to add to your asset base. Lead by 1 strong proven heat leader. -
I didn’t see the ko cup mentioned . I guessed the supporters cup was a replacement. I’m not really Alan of the concept. Heat 15 as voted for by fans if I understand that right? I’ll vote in the oppositions reserves if it’s tight. Fan integration could have been a guessing the heat outcomes vs other fans! Not actually impacting the meeting! I’m happy with 14/15 meetings. The craven shield was just something different. That’s why I chosen it
-
The return of the 3tt craven shield would have been a good filler. With champions straight through to the final. In this case Poole. Could have been something a little different. An extra meeting at each track minimum
-
Would thj or kai and Kasper Andersen fit in place of Kerr.?

Championship level though. I hope he does well as a Brit rising talent, rivalry aside. New names in the top league is a good thing. But if he scored 2 (earned) points away in the top league then as a number 7 newbie he has done well. At home he may score well enough like lambert did at lynn. -

Or homers . Score a few points at home vs weaker riders and be half a lap behind away. -
Temporary safeguarding of clubs maybe? And for the safeguarding of the premier league. I don’t think it’s doom and gloom. Compared to the alternative.
-
This may be a purchasing to safeguard until a different buyer comes in? Like Leicester. He may have just saved the premier league by doing this with ipswich and Peterborough.

Doyle, j holder, bjerre, bjerre, bwd, toft, bacon if that fits that will take some stopping I recon -
Jarek hample, Scott Nichols, Danny king, Rory Schlien, Nico Covatti, Drew Kemp, +1 That would be a pretty cool team
