  1. Did hear/read somewhere that he was riding Sergey Darkin's old kit ?
  2. So who can Hoglet get on the cheap to replace Knight ? Or is Compton nailed on ?
  3. According to Alllitt it was Nigel Crabtree who described the track as the worst its been. Allitt went on to describe the track as dangerous. Does anyone know who The Stoke promotor threatened ? What really surprises me is Malcolm Vasey has anything to do with it there. I always had a lot of respect for this particular gentleman. He also had a long association with Boston at Saddlebow road. Shame if he gets tared with the same brush.
  4. Reading Dale Allitts Column last night it appears The Kings Lynn Young Stars had all sorts to put up with at their recent trip to Stoke. Track in its worst ever state, and dangerous, riders not happy to race on it. No lighting in the changing rooms or toilets. The Stoke Promoter threatening to punch someone from the Kings Lynn team in the face. It appears Lynn are not prepared to ride in the 4's meeting at Stoke, and have applied to have it moved to another track. To think Stoke where once a respected Prmier League outfit. I am surprised a good old Norfolk boy like Malc Vasey wants to be involved with a club like that. Or is it all a storm in a teacup ?
  5. What an excellant nights speedway entertainment. All credit to Somerset adn Edinburgh. One thing I find amazing is. After a nights racing like we witnessed that people would want to come on here and talk about stuff like this rider rolling etc. What do some people want ? Call yourself speedway fans, seems like even after seeing a great meeting that had the lot, that a few would like to pick out any negatives they could find. Come on guys, get a grip.
  6. Klindt is indeed a strange one. Cant seem to get it together in the UK but is would has done ok elsewhere. Was Jan just given a pot of gold by Frostie to spend at the start of the season ? Or did the owner and indeed Pat Wicks have an input as well ? At the end of the day Jan is not the one riding the bikes. For sure Frostie has to look at him, but he also has to look at one or two of the riders. The buck stops with him.
  7. Well Lynn top 4 bring in 2, yes TWO new riders. P'Boro on the asses of their trousers at the bottom, bring a new rider ? Nope, they change the team manager.
  8. Looks like Orions previous post has gone missing
  9. No need to apologise. Honest. You were asking about winning over entertainment. If Buster sees fit to bring a rider in at Reserve with bags of potential, as a replacement, then with Buster being a wise old sage who am I to disagree.
  10. I've also heard the rumour that the contract might be moving from Sky to Eurosport. In answer to your question about winning over entertainment. Lynn had a few seasons in the Premier League where they were taking sides to the cleaners 60 plus scores became the norm. So give me entertainment everytime or do you prefer your Speedway to be the trap to line variety ?
  11. Who knows what next year will bring. will it one League, will it be 2 ? I dont understand where you have got the idea from that it is 'Likely' I am happy that Buster has now brought in 2 young untried overseas riders, and given a debut to a 15 year old english rider for the future. Should he not be applauded for that ? Much rather that than seeing the likes of Nermark coming back, or as has ahppened at Alwarton giving the managers job to Sullivan, as though thats gonna make a difference. maybe Lynn will make the play-offs, maybe they wont. For me it is more about what entertainment we get to witness at Saddlebow.
  12. No need for you to post rude, uncalled for comments like this.
  13. All credit to Buster. Might be worth looking at the bigger picture here. Lambert having a run out with the Young Stars and looking PDQ. Now we have 2 new signings ( and assets) getting use to the UK tracks. Now it could be suggested that Buster is building something for next year.
  14. What is the new riders background ? Good old Buster, Outbidding Matty. Showing him he cant get his own way everytime.
  15. Why will his stay be short Mimmo ? I thought he couldnt move up a level until at least next April. The boy is certainly a talent, but the expectation level seems to be massive. Lets just remember he is only a 15 year old learning his trade.
  16. He never made one gate all night. Got left badly at the gate in heat 15. Tried to hard to get back on terms and over cooked. Imagine what this young man is going to be like once he learns how to gate. Can't wait to see him perform on a grippy Saddlebow track. Just hope people don't get to carried away as he is far from the finished article.
  17. I am sure it was sorted out well in advance of his 16th birthday, just taking the official line. We had the best times with Lee, and of course the worst. Will always be the best thing I ever saw fly around Saddlebow.
  18. Martin Rogers going down to Cambridge on a riders 16th birthday was our best and worst signing.
  19. No hint of a change coming from Rob's comments in this article from the EDP website http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/kings-lynn-stars/crock_watch_king_s_lynn_boss_rob_lyon_admits_injuries_have_slowed_stars_stunning_start_to_2013_1_2204619
  20. New Sports controller at Sky must be thrilled with this little lot. Why are we so good at shooting ourselves in the foot ?
  21. So 1 Dane = Howe ( ) Many Swedes ? What is the current exchange rate for a Brit ? After Chapman Junior saying to all and sundry that we are going for it this season, I have total faith in Buster and Rob to deliver what is needed, to replace Howe/Klint. Lets just be patient. The play-offs arent until winter ( well it feels like it).... Summer Sport with the climax in October.
  22. But Star, these are the cards that are dealt. You cannot live in the past. This is affordable Speedway for today. You either ride with it, or walk away. You always have the choice.
  23. I dont get why people are surprised that riders who double up are going to have problems riding for 2 teams in this Country. I would suggest that Buster's main concern would be to make sure that riders signed are available for every home meeting. Lynn are lucky in the respect as we have Wednesday as our home night, with the odd off night thrown in here and there ( Sky, Bank Hols etc). The facts are using D/U is a cost saving exercise and couple that together with not enough riders to go around, gives you the answer why we have them. Thats Speedway 2013.
  24. I dont feel Worrall will struggle for points in the main body. The guy will get better and better. If there was a ready made replacement coming in for Klint, then I would get it, totally. I just feel that it is a risk with Howe coming in, that if he doesnt fire, then that is no different to sticking with Klint for a short while longer. I accept what you are saying Baggy, but let me ask this one... Who do you feel as the greater potential going forward...Klint or Howe ?
