Dread to think what BV's, Sheffield's or Ipswich's budgets are if the rest of the Lynn team is "over budget". Maybe some riders are being overpaid for their services. However, I would've thought Laguta would be the only one on a guarantee.

Same for Emil, however he certainly bounced back tonight

Didn't look great at Wroclaw yesterday. I was at that meeting. Wasn't making gates and getting passed. Very unusual for him, however the calibre of rider has to be taken into consideration.

Not registered as a promoter at Lynn, just Team Manager

The only way I see us continuing is by releasing Laguta. Do that and whatever fans we do have attending are unlikely too anymore. It really is a lose lose situation for Buster and KL at present.

The end is definitely nigh.

King's Lynn want to have a different surface due to stock cars/bangers bringing in the majority of revenue. It's not feasible to rip up the clay and replace it with shale for when there is a speedway meeting or vice versa. From a business perspective the speedway attendances just don't dictate doing this.

At least we're not asked to put the air fences up, clean toilet etc

Like he how he doesn't mention Buster saving the Witches at all... Edit: my comment following the 2nd part of Chris' tweet

2 actually....

Ditto with KL

Jason Edwards hasn't looked too bad around Foxhall. Paid 8 from his last 2 meetings...

You could be sure that a certain Mr Laguta would get his crew to hold off everyone else...

I politely declined the invitation.

I'm with you on dropping down

Surely what Laguta is on alone would cover what a championships wages are? I'm just assuming...

Just having a rough estimate at KL wages per meeting, based on their current averages: AL) £4k - £6k (guarantee) NK) £1.5k - £1.75k MPT) £1.2k - £1.4k TJ) £900 - £1k KT) £600 - £650 SL) £500-£600 AR) £350-400 Based on topline figures works out just under £12k a meeting.

Bloody hell he has to put a shift in to make it viable.

Unfortunately, since 2018 it has what myself and all Lynn fans it's what we have had to become accustom too. Every year their is optimism, but year after year by the end of May our season is effectively over. I don't know if there is stuff going on behind the scenes as we don't get to see/hear that stuff, but you can't tell that we've had 5 years of continuous bad luck. It's just sad to see this great club not even being competitive year-in-year-out. If the money isn't there, drop down a league. I'd much rather see a competitive team in the Championship, then be a whipping boy of the Premiership. I think a lot of fans would agree with me on that one! I would just like the club to be more open, and transparent with us the loyal, paying fans. We are the lifeblood of speedway and without us, there is no speedway. Just put news out there that you're trying to make changes, seems like the club is operating all cryptic and in riddles. If, for whatever reason you don't manage to pull off a signing, let us know, at least we'll have some justification that you've took the initiative and tried to make improvements.

What's this in reference too?

AL - 13 (6) NK - 7 (5) TJ - 5 (4) KT - 3 (4) BB - 0 (3) SL - 5 (5) AR - 2 (3) KL total - 35

Only if they score a row of ducks against their Sheffield counterparts

0-0-0-3 or whatever race Klindt goes in, for MPT rides as only he is able to take a ride now. Still, that's 3 more than Barker will get. There's plenty of riders in the Championship available...we took a chance on Kye, why not do it again with another one? I'd rather see an actual declared 1-7 than use guests week in week out

I just don't see it. Jakobsen must have been on a decent whack considering he's an "Ekstraliga rider" Pickering also would have been on a fair amount. Not paying anything for MPT while he's out. Surely could have scraped enough for Charles Wright, Tom Brennan or Blodorn who would do better than Barker...?

KL lineup 1. Artem Laguta 2. Kye Thomson 3. Ben Barker (G) 4. Thomas Jorgensen 5. Nicolai Klindt 6. Simon Lambert 7. Anders Rowe Looks like no effort has been made to replace MPT. Bargain basement guest, absolute no hope of this being close. 35-55.
