Trees Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Loyalty to the British League should certainly be recognised. There are very few riders who manage to stay with the same club, with the numbers game their destiny isn't in their own hands. I certainly don't feel Kasprzak should be getting a testimonial, has he actually done 10 full seasons in the EL? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 When you say 9 years with same club - I assume you mean 'owned'. As he did have a year out and went to belle Vue!!! Still think he will be deserving of a testimonial though. And whilst I think a rider should be rewarded for loyal service, what about those who had no choice!? Rory is due a testimonial this year / next year but has moved around a little. Edinburgh to Coventry was obviously a move into the Elite, but it certainly wasn't his choice to move away from Coventry when Hans Anderson was brought in. Surely loyalty to the British League should be recognised as well. I don't think anyone can have an issue with a rider was dropped mid-season. Rorys spells at Ipswich and Peterborough shouldn't really matter. Then as I said earlier, I think a season away for good reason should be accepted (Coventry were not running at the time), and then the club he rode for that season bought him. So Rory is acceptable Loyalty to the British League should certainly be recognised. There are very few riders who manage to stay with the same club, with the numbers game their destiny isn't in their own hands. I certainly don't feel Kasprzak should be getting a testimonial, has he actually done 10 full seasons in the EL? TBF, this is the only time in 10 years he's not done a full season other than being dropped by Swindon early in his career and Lakeside in 2010.

Sprog1 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Have to say KK doesnt conduct himself too well in public,take a look at this clip,i dont think it was his fault but hes just not a fans person. I am glad that clip of the so-called "fan" has been put on there to identify the idiot concerned. That bloke and his foul mouth has been an embarrassment to the club for some time. Unfortunately every club has a one or two like that and Lakeside is no different. At least he has now been publicly shown up. KK is not everybody's cup of tea but there is a time and a place to get riders autographs. Loads of people get riders autographs/photographs before the meeting when they are walking down from the changing rooms to the pits and I have never known any rider refuse, including Kaspa. After the meeting when the riders can still be a bit pumped up is not always the best time to ask. I am far from being KK's biggest fan but on this occasion it seems he was confronted by a big-mouth that a lot of people have been complaining about for some time. As another poster has said, what a great role model for the child he has with him. Edited September 2, 2012 by Custer Mouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another poster has said, what a great role model for the child he has with him. A very good post CM. I was stood there with my mate (briefly in the last shot with the hat on) KK was stood for some time signing autographs and having photos taken.In fact he was the last rider in the pits apart from Davy Watt. KK was going to sign his autograph and he thought the boy said no so he stood up and walked away past me. The pratt concerned then let out a stream of abuse efing and going calling him arrogant. All this in front of the little boy. KK was quite taken aback and visibly upset about the incident. I was going to say something to the "gentleman" concered but thought better of it.

Jeremy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I met KK on a plane back from Poland and he was fine.

That was probably the private jet that Matt uses to get all his team to and from various places around the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think April 1st is an appropriate date for a KK British testimonial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
