Haza Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 As a Kings Lynn fan I'm sure all Stars fans are looking forward to this meeting the date I'm not sure of but I'm sure the final details of this meeting is now being sorted out and will be announced soon .

Speedball Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Whatever happens now, it's too little too late. Absolute travesty that nothing could be arranged. A date should have been fixed right from the off and made a big deal off. Not some half-arsed effort to squeeze something in (and failing) once they realised we were out of the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I do agree A, shows that more help is needed within the club. Just read Matt Ford's piece in the Star ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 I understand the club are hoping to open the 2016 season with a 50th Anniversary Meeting, when a lot of the so called top name riders are more available to ride than they are at this time of the season. It has been a big disappointment the way speedway has fizzled out at King's Lynn this year, particularly with all the pre-season hype about the 'Golden Year'. Much merchandise produced by various people, which resulted in fantastic sales, but now those customers must wonder why they wasted their money. I don't know if the 'Pride of the East' was originally intended to be the big event of the year, but that of course just disappeared of the radar, without any announcement being made. Also, whatever happened to the Ashley Jones Memorial meeting that the fans used to look forward to in memory of one of our all-time favourites? Thank goodness we've had a good National League side to fill some of the many gaps in the racing calendar, because it's been the highlight of the season for me, watching the exciting development of youngsters like Josh Bailey and Ryan Kinsley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 but the general concensus is that supporters won't go to individual meetings, and that's 3 that have been mentioned, 50th Anniversary, Ashley Jones, Pride of the East, so the management are on a loser whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 but the general concensus is that supporters won't go to individual meetings, and that's 3 that have been mentioned, 50th Anniversary, Ashley Jones, Pride of the East, so the management are on a loser whatever People WILL go to individual meetings IF the quality of riders is attractive enough. That though, requires promoters hands being put deep into pockets to find the necessary money to attract those riders and could possibly be why none of these events have taken place!!!.......

semion Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Keep Individual's for me ( yes even Cardiff) I was brought up on team racing anything else is of little interest. I remember going to Lynn to watch POTE, Littlechild Trophy, Supporters Trophy, they also did a Best Pairs Event. Knockout Cup, Start the season With the Spring Gold Gold, Anglian Cup, Border Trophy. Cyril certainly rammed the old fixtures in. FFS how old am I !! It must make me nearly as old as GRW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 From a mischevious Witches fan point of view perhaps they just looked back over the 50 years and decided there wasnt much to celebrate!! Wink Just kidding!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhouseregular Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Am I alone amongst the Nostalgia Brigade who always looked forward to the big individual meetings?. Yes I loved my league speedway but the Internationale, Laurels, Superama and London Riders Championship...and of course all the World Championship rounds were the "icing on the cake".

Sadly nowadays the riders just don't have the commitment for individual meetings. They are used to test engines /set ups etc . I always looked forward to the Bank Holiday dash to Wimbledon for the Internationale and the POTE was the highlight of Lynn's season.

Trees Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 These days we have big individuals every fortnight, gps! Lol Of course they're not the same, but they are the reason we don't have our big meetings here anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
