mrss Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Why don't the Stars do a Milldenhall trick? Call the meeting off because they don't like the away team get a suspended 250 pounds fine, lose 3 league points that won't matter, and then re stage the meeting when Iversen is back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 A 4 point win tonight will bring us to within 5 points of Belle Vue with three meetings in hand.Quite agree, i said before we need to win home and away against KLynn to have any chance of topping the table, now we have the chance we must grab it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 When you come out with crap like that, its no wonder people have this bad impression of you......Let me inform you the Stars fans are the salt of the earth. Tell me another group would support their team for 50 years through thick and thin, without winning that elusive title. All we need is a little bit of hope and we're always be there. What we don't want is to be treated like mushrooms. The only reason Poole have the support it does, is because most are glory hunters, turning a blind eye when the rules can been bent to suit. I wonder if you would still be so optimistic after years with no trophies... But there's no need to worry. If you were to open your eyes you would see your 4 pts is guaranteed tonight , even if Batch, Lambert and Rory score well, that would only be 30 points, where's the other 15 coming from. I can see Poole scoring 55+ with ease..... Open your eyes man......... Dont think you can call the majority glory hunters, i think we would still get decent crowds if we didnt make the play offs every year but Matt Ford knows its good business to have a successful team and he is also a fan so wants us to win as much as any fan would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Most' was probably the wrong word. I should have said 'some. I'm not a Matt Ford lover, but I take my hat off to him for what he has achieved. Just wished our promoter was as driven by success as much as he is....... I always thought, becoming Chairman of the BSPA would be a detrimental step for Kings Lynn Stars, and so is it proving to be.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fever Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 doesnt look like much chance of rain-off tonight so i suppose this farce will go ahead ........and no doubt Poole will think theyre marvellous getting 4pts......... Lynn will do well to get any more than last night imo....... what an utter shambles this sport has become.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Really in two minds whether to go tonight or not.What with no facility for NKI,and Morley in place of Lambert we really are a PL side.I know that most EDRs are riding PL,but isn't Morris available. The thing that gets me is the club keep on about an important 3 points for them to keep pushing for a play-off place,are they in dream land. I like what Shovlar says about you should support your team,but he is another one that lives in a dream land.Any team it don't matter who they are suffer with crowd attendances if they are sh**e.It will happen at Poole too,believe me Shovlar if they have a crap season anytime.

Starboy118 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 They will be without No.1 Niels-Kristian Iversen, who has made himself unavailable due to his hectic schedule which includes Saturday’s Swedish Grand Prix in Malilla. With no facility permitted for Iversen, the Stars are intending to draft in No.8 Kai Huckenbeck to cover his absence. It is hoped the withdrawal of his start permission from the German federation, which caused him to miss Wednesday’s clash at Wimborne Road, will be resolved. If Huckenbeck remains unable to ride, King’s Lynn will have no choice but to utilise a Premier League rider with an average below six points. They also draft in Ben Morley for the second straight meeting to guest for the injured Simon Lambert, whilst Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen returns to the side at reserve. KING’S LYNN: Troy Batchelor, Kai Huckenbeck, Rory Schlein, Ben Morley, Robert Lambert, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Lewis Rose. POOLE: Chris Holder, Adam Ellis, Krzysztof Buczkowski, Brady Kurtz, Hans Andersen, Bjarne Pedersen, Kyle Newman Fortunately, my hectic schedule means that I will be somewhere else tonight Kings Lynn Stars !! What a shambles. What was once a highly respectable Speedway Team has turned into a complete disaster. We are simply going through the motions to be whipped to all and sundry. Last night was a disgrace. Losing is one thing, but not bothering is totally unacceptable. Every Poole rider scored more than each member of our team. We won just 3 heats, and came last 13 times.. The team we put out was not acceptable, Some of the riders attitude was not acceptable, but probably there as pissed off, as much as the fans are, and cant be arse also. Whatever the problem, this club is going downhill fast. The lack of announcement about tonight meeting is alarming. No doubt Niels is not riding, and a replacement is proving difficult. But whatever the circumstances the Fans/ Supporters should be kept in the picture. Not knowing any news is the worse scenario possible. Why should the fans bother when they are treated with such contempt Personally I will be there tonight whatever. Not to see the Stars win, but just to feed my personal addiction. Poole have always been in the prime seat for success ever since they managed to secure the 2 top EDR riders from the crocked lists, coupled with 4 heat leaders and a brilliant young Aussie they were always been favourites in my book. Then to be able to strengthen with Pedersen has made the Elite league a laughing stock... I am not jealous of Poole's success, I just wish that our promotions put as much emphasis on team building as Poole do. We would lost tonight with or without Niels. He has been a shinning light and an example to every rider. With him in the team we have hope, without him we have nothing........ Reasonably accurate assessment I would say 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I know what you're saying but personally, would rather lose within the rules than bend them (and probably still lose). We obviously agreed to the fixture knowing that Niels would be missing. The promotion (and fans) have to live with the consequences of that. At the start of the season he wouldn't've been riding for us anyway now ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For two season we've failed to act when clearly the team wasn't good enough changes was needed early doors . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well i have got here. Sitting in pizza hut having an early dinner before trundling over the the stadium. Roads are dry and its a bit breezy not no risk of a rain off. Hope we can get a win for a change but take nothing for granted. The boys need to be right up for it to get a result. One glance at Lakeside v Poole shows what can happen with a little complacency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Poole don't win against this poor attempt at a Lynn side they never will Coventry fans were saying exactly the same. Many stayed away. Coventry won it on the last bend. The sport is many things but predictable it is not. Think it will be quite close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
