King's Lynn 2011

I have to agree with semion. Who does really care who Lasse belongs to? He will be a great rider and if he's only with us for one season and we won't be getting any money out of a sale then so be it. All youngsters probably want to aspire to be in the EL and then the GPs, so...Lasse isn't the first and he won't be the last rider to leave Lynn only after a few seasons. I'm actually looking forward to him having a complete season with us!

I am looking forward to watching him race next season too em, i was just looking at other options, ifs buts and maybes if you like, if another 5 pointer could be found the balance of the team could be altered maybe and not only have an improver for the season but an investment too,the funds from the sale of darcy must look good in the clubs accounts, as would the sale of any other "find" if there was one.

We had a new Aussie at the start of season 2010. Who Peterborough signed as an asset and we had pay a loan fee for They dont always work out. Its a fact of Speedway life, Riders move about, through varying reasons. Think back to when we had Nermark ( moved on) Batch (sold) Money into the club as it should be Doolan ( tried his hand at Elite and then couldnt be fitted in at Lynn) Which we got loan fee's for, more money into the club Ward (sold)Same as Batch, money into the club as it should be

 

yet there is always the next name along on the conveyor belt. It gives me great pleasure to see riders develop and move on to bigger and better things. I really dont care who they belong to. After all as self-employed individuals who are in effect are out of contract at the end of each season. Plus ride for X number of other clubs in different country's, do they really belong to anyone?

 

Who riders belong to should matter. We all like to see riders develop and move on to the next level. Nobody has a problem with that but PL clubs rely allot on their assets. The more successful ones anyway.

If the PL became a league of loanee's it would fold in an instant.

 

Regarding Bjerre, I don't think anyone would have had a problem if we'd known from the start that he'd be a Peterborough asset but no, Peterborough him from under our noses as an asset because he's shown promise. This after we'd been told he'd signed a 2 year contract along with Roynon.

 

People are frustrated because the club has lost out and in my opinion it shows a lack of respect for the club by Peterborough & the Bjerre's.

 

People don't mind the club being a feeder for the EL with the younger riders, that's the way it is but we want to see a return for it. Now, we get nothing.

Screamer, How does getting a fee for the sale of a rider effect the fans directly ? I have yet to receive my cut of the Darcy Ward transfer, have you had yours ? :wink: If Buster is happy to keep Bjerre as a non asset rider, then why should the fans be unhappy ? Buster is the man in counting house, he knows what works for his business, and what doesnt. Riders whoever they are are only on "loan" anyway. I just want to see decent racing,young riders improving, I really dont give a stuff who "owns" their contract. Like i have said before, I cant understand how a rider warrents a transfer fee, when 1. They are self employed and 2. they are only contracted during the Speedway season by X number of different so called owners, in X number of different Country's

It allows the club to keep admission prices down, finance a more competitive team, improve facilities i.e. 2 years on the trot we'll have a World Cup meeting & most importantly we have speedway to watch. The sale of riders contribute to all of that

Some people just like to watch good speedway and I'd put you in that category. I support the club as a whole and what comes in and out is very important as well as the team & racing. I don't wish to know all the details but to see the asset base increase and seeing riders sold is all healthy stuff.

 

Those that take their eye off the affects of the club will be the first banging on the door complaining they've lost their speedway club.

Of course any Club finds transfer monies welcoming. However that should be a bonus, not what you would base a sound business structure on. The Monies from Batch, Ward and now Doolan will be a nice nest egg for the Promotion. Do you remember people complainning when Nermark came to Lynn ? and certainly not when he was signed for a 2nd year. They just loved the entertainment the guy had to offer. Why should Bjerre be treated any different. Ok P,Boro might have got a good deal over Buster, but what goes around comes around. Think back to when Mildenhall was purchased, and the riders that came Lynn's way in that little deal. :wink:

Tai wasn't a Rye House asset, but boy, what a couple of years we had out of him ... In a few years time, when young Mr Bjerre is one of the top riders in the world, you can say you had the pleasure of seeing him close up every week, if only for a couple of years.

 

Thank the lord Len Silver had Linus signed up before the EL sides came sniffing around ;)

All I can say in response to that is that life is sometimes a b***h but you just have to get on with it at the end of the day ;) All I want is entertainment as that's what I pay for. Buster and co. should have the business know how by now to manage to keep the club afloat I would've thought. Was it ever announced that Bjerre was joining us as an asset too? I don't think so...

Just to suit one rider ? I cant see that happening. fans are used to a Wednesday night fix, and I cant see Chapmans risking that.

 

Has happened before, thing is they own the stadium so can pretty much choose when they want. I love my Wednesdays, but KL speedway has run on more nights than Wednesdays before, so who knows what will happen.

If we wanted to change our race night, would we not have to apply to the bspa for a change? They must know when they can and can't use lasse on wednesdays because they would have to inform the bspa when they create the fixture list :blink:

How many meets a season do the danes do on a Wednesday ? I really find it hard to believe that changing race nights to accommodate one rider is an opition

Reading in todays Lynn News, it states that Bjerre will be riding in the Dannish League next season, can someone explain to me how that will work ?

 

Don't like to say it but didn't I already tell you that :lol:

Maybe race nights will change at KL

As you say Lynn will have to change race nights as he will race superleague for sure so Lynn have 2 choices cut him loose now or as you say change race nights why should any team be held to ransome by any one rider and as for him becoming a panthers rider that was all sorted out way back in september personally let him go now whilst we have plenty of time and find another rider that would commit to Lynn week in week out
