semion Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Seems like Lynn are a few people's second favourite team : ) We have a promoter who would rather lose, but lose fairly than win by being underhanded. Such ethics and morals can only be applauded. Bravo Buster Bravo. I am not sure the Edinburgh fans will agree with that. Luckily Buster made a full recovery.

Trees Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Happy with the status quo of the top 6 ......... ROLL ON 2015 :-D Lots of things to take into consideration when deciding on our 2nd fastracker but trust in Rob n Buster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 If a club like Lynn produce riders even the ones's who don't make it for them,why should ANY club be penalised.?Kerr and Rose should of been aloud to ride,for me this rule is ridiculous, the fast track has been good but again pathetic rules have ruined it.The rule does not need to be in place,in most cases they are English lads so why hinder them.Some clubs in the EL who have put near to no effort in to producing riders end up nearly as strong how is that right.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 In fairness Lynn do have an advantage in so much as Buster owns the Track, so to run a NL side doesnt incur a rental charge. There are not so mnay clubs who enjoy this facility. However would it be an idea to consider, IF the BSPA could set something up at Lynn, with Buster, for the development of all riders to benefit the Elite League going forward. If it was in the form of an acadamy then all Elite clubs could dip their bill in the water. Krap idea, maybe, but something along those lines, might, just work.

Sidney ! My sentiment exactly. Why should teams, that do very little, benefit at the expense of those teams that do. The idea of the Draft is that all teams put equal amounts into the pot before the weakest take first pick, and the strongest takes the last. The idea of a concocted draw merely makes it more of a mockery than it already is. Am amazed they never allowed Poole their 2 picks prior to the day of the draw, but then again they probably did. The idea of clubs benefitting without contributing, is not what the draft was meant to do..., I'll scratch your back...... Sidney..... No worries......

This advantage, you say that Lynn have their own track was achieved by the astute business accruements of Buster Chapman. It wasn't given to him, it has been hard earnt. He wouldn't have been able to achieve this had he like other promoters wasted thousands of pounds on accumulating unrealistic assets. Many times Lynn have been accused of using other clubs assets but at least Buster pays the rate and run a viable concern. Probably other clubs should take a leaf out of Buster's book.......

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Absolute f'ing disgrace a rider puts himself on the draft list then quits. #Angrywithout a PL place what was he meant to do?I understand he was due to be at Ipswich but wasnt able to commit on the deal on offer. Better to make the decision now than be in a hole financially or feeling that he is letting his teams down a few weeks into the season. Good luck to Jo I say and hopefully it is just some time out and not a retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is Oliver Greenwood in the draft list ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I dont have any doubts about Busters business accrument, But the facts are Most other clubs do not have their own Motor Sports stadium. Buster does, and rightly so he uses it to his own advantage. Whether an individual fan likes the rules or not, they are put in place by the powers that be in Speedway who run the Sport ( Buster is now on the Committee). All i am suggesting is that the BSPA could perhaps tap into Saddlebow and use it as some kind of trainning ground for the betterment of young British riders, for ther benefit of all. It will cost money for sure, but the benfits going forward, for all could be significant. Edited December 10, 2014 by semion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 You are right, Poole got away with murder in getting Starke. Why? Didn't several teams have a pick before us ? They could have quite easily picked Starke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 No they didn't. Ignoring facts again starman? So we got first pick in the second section of the draft, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Think your No.7 should be either Clegg or Grieves. After the incident at Coventry, I think young Grieves got a wake-up call, and his performances after that were markedly improved. Cleggy was also a solid NL heatleader, after struggling earlier on with Leicester. Either one would do a good job IMO Greaves is at Dudley again, where Clegg may well follow him - I have no idea, but he is popular there. They ride on Wednesdays so in that sense may not be the best of choices. That being said, Clegg is good at Leicester, Lambert is good at King's Lynn. If it suits both parties, why not a swap? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birks' was lower, so Poole effectively had 2nd pick but Lakeside chose to protect their asset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, and a BIG but, wouldn't it be conceived by the powers at B, that Kings Lynn Speedway would have the opportunity of seeing riders potential first hand, and therefore would have last pick of the riders when on offer ?????

semion Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I see it as more under the control of the BSPA, not Buster himself. Buster is providing the facilities, and of course charging a fee, but there should be some kind of development team available... People Like Phil Morris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
