After this past week, nothing about our sport would shock me.

The big difference is with NCFC that many were (and we are) Season ticket holders that had already paid the club up front for matches, so you'd have been a idiot not to go to the matches you'd paid for a few months ahead of the season starting, and many paid up front a long while BEFORE we were relegated. Also it's not a case of not following your club, the thing that I am struggling with is that there are only 7 opposing teams in the EL and there are over 20 visiting teams to CR whatever league you are in, its not a case of not wanting, and for that matter we will always support the STARS, it's the fact of the limited opposing teams that we would find repetative. You have a passion for one team, that's great, but we support two, and that ain't cheap as I am sure any NCFC ST holder can attest to. SO £1 here and £2 there does make a difference, it's not just the costs of entry, it's travel costs too that all have to be taken into consideration. The only thing we can do is wait for the news tomorrow at 12. We will listen to what Buster and Rob have to say of course.

Just a thought having re-read the latest post on FB by the STARS, could it be that the reason for the delay until Monday is because there is another meeting over the weekend to discuss the problems in the EL? Whilst the statement says they are sorry for the confusion and concern it has not been eleviated and they must know what they are going to be able to release on Monday, as why state it will be 12pm? Just a thought and trying to make sense of things.

Are they sure as to the set limit for the EL as I thought that was what the dispute was about? The EDP say we will hear our 1-7 where as the short bit on the STARS FB page says ''team news''

Mmmmmm. I don't think so, why draw away from what they have always done since we have been in the PL, and that is announce the 1-7 to the fans at a fans meeting, and where the press are also invited? I think, like AJH that this is not the announcement of the 1-7, but something more. If it is just to announce the new 1-7 for 2011, then I will be surprised. It is so unusual for our promotion to not engage with the supporters, and that's what makes me think there could be more to this. It is a press release from a news paper, and can be read in many ways, as said above. The one and only post since the AGM and prior to today stated ''team news by the end of the week'' and now it's Monday. Will we hear then?

No fans meeting to announce the team this year then? Wonder why

Hope you are right, we too were looking forward to the derbies

Yup, not impressed but what can you do? Don't understand why the press are being told before the fans at the fans forum. Oh well I am fast losing interest in this sport, what a bloody mess its in.

Taken from the STARS FB page Kings Lynn Stars are sorry for any confusion or concern that may have been caused over the past few days. The club will be in a position to confirm team news on Monday at 12pm when a full press statement will be issued......

say no more eh

Indeed it would be nice to know, and i am fast running out of patience lol so you aren't the only one who isn't good with being patient

Yes, kept in the dark, got that feeling for the past few days. What is happening thats so bad they can't keep the fans up to date with what's happening. I am starting to care less and less.

Not sure how that would work, but as long as KL run PL at the NA I would be happy.

Interesting to see it on Sky mate. Let's hope this is put to bed sooner rather later, not only for the good of the sport, but for the sake of the fans from all (possbily)3 clubs (Bees, Panthers, Stars), or it will make the EL even more of a joke than it is at the moment. It's a flaming mess that's for sure

Let's hope we do lol all this speculation is not good for us fans

Blimey that's a lot of wonga. Surely though the two businesses are seperate?

I think things have gone beyond that, the statments on the Bees and Panthers websites, which incidently are identical tend to say things are beyond being repaired. Legal advice has now been sought. It's a sorry, sad state of affairs, and if I were SKY I would show PL speedway and leave the EL to sort itself out for a season, or however long it takes. In it's cirrent format, it's a shambles. Statement on the Bees and Panthers websites are the same. WE have been advised by our legal advisors not to make any public statement at this time regarding the future of Peterborough Speedway. Issued by: Peterborough Speedway Promotion. RELEASE DATE: Thursday 25 November 2010

It just isn't for me i'm afraid, and I am sure I am not alone.

The more I have thought about it, the more silly it seems. Why would they want to move up? What is there in the EL that could be 'that' exciting? Why would they have already signed riders for 2011? Why would we be named in a cup match on the BSPA website in the PL? But that radio interview had my mind whizzing last night, where did they get that information from that KL would be going EL no matter what (basically).

lol me too

Agreed

That's the thing, because we have heard not much from the KL promotion since the AGM,nor have they denied this rumour, and now because it has been announced on a radio programme that KL will be EL no matter what basically, then I guess the answer to your question is yes.

A league with 13 opposing teams, including our old freinds from the A140 visiting at least once, or a league with 7 opposing teams visiting at least twice? I know which I prefer My other question would be to the supporters excited about the ''Shambles'' league speedway, do you really want what Witches fans have had to endure for at least the last two seasons, because I don't particularly and would be far more happy watching my team challenging for honours.

Now we have to wait for the promotion to make comment

Some people will enjoy the repetativeness of the same teams, not for me personally
