We changed our traditional race night years ago when the GP series took off and Buster wanted stocks on Saturday nights, still think a Friday or Saturday is best for speedway to get the kids coming and for the ease of away mtgs but clubs do get half decent crowds on Weds/Thurs...

Perhaps he's treated the riders and not the fans this year, been to the F1 haven't they?

Your win has all been taken a bit for granted really, easy come, easy go it seems, trouble with winning so much!

Doesn't your supporters club collect 'Rider of the Year' votes?

That’s not MOST clubs .... the Stars have kept the majority of their riders from year to year, for sure 2017 to 2018 was an exception although we resigned a few of the team we ended up with plus NKI came back.

My hope is to see Panthers in the Premiership in 2019, need to see those local derbies again!!

How are they gonna be paid otherwise? They would have to invest in the sport as a whole until their ideas bring in revenue. Unless they could bring investment into the sport from the start via sponsorship etc but then they'd have to be on a percentage only.

Only if they are prepared to invest?

The majority of clubs keep the the majority of their team members from year to year imo

Re the play off final between Poole and Lynn, I think they did the right thing for a few tenths of a point difference, would have been more consternation had the riders swopped teams on the two nights? Maybe the promoters need to keep the averages in house so the fans cannot have a say, the more I think about it, yes they do need to do that, then nobody would’ve been any the wiser about Ellis and Morris. British speedway tries hard to keep teams even and fair, that’s one of the reasons our rules are so complicated, promoters continually try to outdo one another to get an advantage to help them win, which you can understand but it has to led to so many loophole closures (new rules). What do the fans want, what will bring new fans in and keep them coming, imo, PASSES and TEAM RIDING. But how do we get that, is it change in engines, tracks, tyres, track shape, track material, riders’ mentality, handicap racing, I don’t know but at the end of the day you can have all the extra entertainment money can buy but it’s the RACING that counts. It’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation for the promoters, they need more fans bringing in the money to improve their clubs but they need to spend more money to bring in the fans, it’s a really hard situation but yes of course they need to be all working together and they certainly could asa promoting is concerned, I’d like to think part of the conference would be 'sharing promotion initiatives’ .....

I agree all promoters could try harder, I also think that maybe they lose enthusiasm when they are losing money though, what do you want for your money? They all need to look at what the promoters of the Isle of Wight are doing right.

There are more positive people than you out there m8, thank goodness!! You don't have all the answers, nobody has, there are lots of good things about our sport, you're on such downer about it, jeeeeez! Go down to the Isle of Wight Speedway next year, might help with your lack of positivity!!

It would but just be grateful the club is still going and help make the most of the future, be positive!

What on earth were Mildenhall thinking asking a Dugard to guest for them against his home team, his family team!

But none of them are British....

He's above that these days.....

He usually says he likes to have a really busy racing calendar, we will see...

I can only think that Niels has had more trouble with the grippy AFA track than anyone has admitted to as in the past he has been fantastic round Saddlebow Road, a points machine and able to make up ground and pass other riders, the same away from home. I, too, would hate to see him go and be back to his best for another team. Reminds me of Rory Schlein’s awful year at Lynn following his huge injuries, then the next year was on top form for Wolves. As always I’m sitting on the fence and waiting to see what happens, as long as Dale is back on board for 2019 we can be sure of a 100%er team again I’d like to hear from all you Lynn fans regards the supporters club and ideas for 2019 We are hoping to do some rider nights as we know these are popular so watch this space on that one But what about something different on race nights? Health and safety stops us doing some stuff but I feel we need to up a gear next season.

I`ve grown to like team kevlars but they 100% make recognising riders instantly harder especially when you aren't using a programme. Years ago some riders certainly had leathers made to blend with their team, promoters have to do what they can afford...

Niels, Erik, Kasper and Ty didn't attend for good reasons.

Well done Somerset, best team won on the night!

Anyone else and in any other circumstances we would accept the defeat gracefully I’m sure.

Robert obviously had a big off night and that didn’t help the cause, we all expect so much from him because of his fantastic form this year, he had an off night, he’s had plenty of great nights during the season to help get us where we are .......... there were others who we expect more from but you do when you have a strong team, but some ya win, some ya lose, we’re only human after all ...... they’ll be hurting more than any of us, they are the ones doing the business, have done the business all year to great effect, it’s wonderful to win, it’s harder to lose when you are so close ......

Oh come off it KLFAN, Adam Ellis had top scored for us in a previous meeting at Lynn, he should’ve been a great guest at both tracks tbf. We are just gonna get a guest to rival MPT, he was on red hot form, racing like a heat leader .... impossible task.
