tellboy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just great.!. Niels was our team, and you come out with crap like that............ No 'I' in team as in Niels,he was just part of a team.He was the top rider but just part of a team.He's not riding so get over it and support whoever Buster and Rob choose to put the Stars kevlars on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Years ago, it was said that Michael Lee would put a thousand on the gate, no problem. Its been the same with all the top riders at Lynn, and Niels was no different ... Can't say the crowds were much above a thousand whenever I attended the NA, so On your logic without NKI the crowd would be one man a a can of soup All this weeping and wailing about Lynn not winning anything in 2016 could someone kindly remind me what Lynn have actually won whilst NKI has been riding in Stars colours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I know many fans who only went to marvel at Niels in full flow.... Surely they're not exactly fans then. TBH it's this mentality that puts me off the Elite concept. I don't see how it's ever going to be sustainable if that's the fanbase they aim for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 FURROW Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Nah, Star Lady still won't attend haha The pigging GP organisers are getting it all their own way, let's hope Poland kick up more stink over their clubs going to the wall, they must know that BSI have just been using their sponsors and their clubs over the years...

Haza Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Lynn would be better off in the PL. and you'd be better off worrying about Pboro in the PL than worrying about Lynn in the EL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Can't say the crowds were much above a thousand whenever I attended the NA, so On your logic without NKI the crowd would be one man a a can of soup All this weeping and wailing about Lynn not winning anything in 2016 could someone kindly remind me what Lynn have actually won whilst NKI has been riding in Stars colours Probably my wording in (post 500) has been misconstrued. When it was said that Michael Lee put a thousand on the gate we were talking much bigger gates than we get now. When talking with Alan Littlechild, he admitted the average gate being about 2000 plus, but when Michael rode, he would always attract around the 3000 mark. My comment was to highlight the fact that star name puts bums on seats, NOT THAT EVERY TOP RIDER PUT 1000 ON THE GATE. In Niels case it would have considerably less as the numbers now are quite low, but nevertheless a percentage would go solely because Niels as there....... What did we win..... We won respect, and expectation from the opposition. Kings Lynn also gained recognition from around the globe because of Niels exploits on the world Stage....

Kings Lynn also gained recognition from around the globe because of Niels exploits on the world Stage.... So King's Lynn Stars didn't win any titles in that time......hang on yes we did Elite League Riders Championship.....oops that was Rory Schlein Now he's a rider I'd have on my team sheet from the start and if he's not I'll be disappointed. Personality, superb team man, motivator, team riding skills, acknowledges fans.... yep I'd be very disappointed if he doesn't return.

semion Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Riders come and go hasnt it always been just so ? The King is dead, Long live the king and all of that. If NKI feels by giving the UK a miss he has maybe one last chance of going for World Champion then good luck to him, thanks for his efforts over the last few years, but time for both party's to move on. Kings Lynn Speedway was around long before NKI and I am sure it will be around long after ( if the Sport survives). I have every confidence that Buster will put out a side that will be competive, If not it wont be the first time we have had that to deal with at Saddlebow. After all we have had some real ropey years in The Sport. The one League idea is getting ever closer and if thats the way it is, then so be it. I well remember a few years back the enjoyable times Kings Lynn had competing at that level, and If that is the only level that is sustainable in British speedway then surely that has to be better than No Speedway, doesnt it ?

mrss Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Could the Stars promotion tempt N Pedersen back to fill the hole left by Niels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sorry that NKI will be missing as he is an out and out racer and a pleasure to watch. The Tai effect has made things difficult for clubs in GB this winter. This may be a wobbly year for British Speedway.... But they will now have to make some radical decisions for 2017 if this is a permanent situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they will now have to make some radical decisions for 2017 if this is a permanent situation. Why the Tai effect. Why would the top boys keep wanting to shuffle themselves backwards an forward for a pittace compared to what they get in Poland Sweden assuming they get paid, and the GP ?

Jason.C Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Think the idea is tai has proven you can drop Britain, and still become world champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Still too sad about Niels not riding to post. Oh hang on! Good Luck to him, and thanks for 5 magical seasons where time and time again he has dragged us over the line. It's been a pleasure watching him race. Hopefully he'll be back : ) In the meantime, I just saw a 'Nicki Pedersen Racing' Mercedes van going around the Hardwick roundabout...

tellboy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's about being competitive. Now Niels is gone it looks unlikely we'll be that. Niels saved our skin home and away time and time again. Isn't that what all good number ones should do. How can you say we are unlikely to be competitive when we haven't announced anyone yet?Lets be honest at the moment there has only been one real number 1 announced for a team and that is Doyle.Maybe 6 other teams wont be competitive then as well.
