Kings Lynn 2015

I was working on the track the night Leiff Waehlman was killed..

Sickening incident, an air fence would have probably saved his life...

Look how many years it was before they were introduced.. Speedway as far as safety is concerned is behind the times, much like the sport in general according to A certain number of fans on here.... The question is, could it be the riders at fault for the state of speedway in general around the world? It's not actually growing in any country at the minute... How many riders of all ages, would prefer to spend £500 on flash guards, covers, than the same amount on better quality protective wear???

In my opinion, its not the extra speed of the modern speedway bike compared to one from the "weslake era" that is the problem, but the unpredictability of having a high revving motor spinning the rear tyre that suddenly gains massive amounts of extra grip due to coming out of its narrow power band, causing it to "launch", out of control.

Limiting engine revs down from 12-13k to say 7 or 8 k would reduce this problem , reduce engine wear, reduce service costs and I think , make the sport safer

Thats all well and good, but you can bet your life whatever you do the top boys will still be looking to get more speed out of that..

Think that one has gone now. Lack of investment has caught up with us, big time. ... Time to start the Kings Lynn 2016 Thread ?

Bjerre, surely, has to be the first name on the team sheet given his generous average

I think an issue could be made for NOT having each individual back next season. I think it could be an interesting winter. I do wonder if Buster has had enough of the Elite League, with riders demands, missing meetings, lack of effort in some cases, gates etc.

Need a proper clear out, keep Niels and Robert and build a team around them.

 

Anyone who thinks Bjerre should be here are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Having now sampled the Elite League for the past few years I cant say i am keen on this hit and miss Fixture list. Riders missing meetings wholesale, riders claiming injury when the next day they are riding in another Country. The Elite League has turned into a complete joke, that the supporters ( or some of them) are prepared to accept, no matter what.

 

Is it not time for a change again at Lynn ? Speedway each Wednesday night, riders who want to be there ( of sorts) some form of fan/Rider interaction. Derby meetings with the Ipswich, Peterborough Rye House.

 

What do other Lynn fans feel ?

It might just tempt me back on a regular basis.

I did say when we went EL that I was used to PL and it didn't really bother me about EL.Although I would turn up as it was speedway the sport I grew up with,the era when all the best riders were over here.Boy was I lambasted by a few because I said I preferred PL.

I enjoyed the regularity and different teams each week,riders that wanted to ride and was there every week bar injury.

By the way agree totally with your post.

Not by me, I much prefer PL. To be honest NL is a far better product than EL at present.

I do wonder if everyone has had enough of the Elite League but it will probably lurch on into 2016 with the same old problems.
