King's Lynn Stars 2017


Recommended Posts

It's time for the Stars fans to write this season off and look forward to next season. Start with a clean slate and a new team.

Sorry to stick my nose in. But as a speedway fan I find the Kings lynn thread so depressing and all the problems could harm the sport I love and this post tops the lot.I know its all probably pie in the sky but as an outsider looking in if everyone involved with the club,the promotion the riders and the fans could rally round and get over the problems of the first half of the season and all do the jobs they should then this club could really fly.

On paper you have one of the best teams in the league.Possibley as a group the best 3 heat leaders, good strong 2nd strings a strong number 6 and a number 7 who is not a 2 point youngster.

You are only 4 points behind a play off spot with 4 matches in hand on a struggling Poole side.You might never have a team as strong as this for quite a while. In fact if the club could pull itself together and reach the play offs you could even win the bloody thing

So for the good of the sport come on Kings lynn get your act together and put your club back together. best of luck.

Just seen the forecast for Wednesday. Wet again so another call off is probable.

And now after predicting a dry and warm August,the Met Office are now saying it is going to be the wettest in five years.If that's the case, some clubs are going to struggle to complete all their remaining fixtures. Edited by Tommy Sweetman

I mentioned this on the Somerset thread. Whoever scheduled all these meetings in August needs a kick up the ar#e.

I saw a tweet of a monkey working a computer keyboard, it could have made a better job of the scheduling.

It seems that most people accept that crowds are falling at nearly all clubs, in all leagues. They are likely falling locally because of the disorganised way that KLS has been run for the last two or three years. The promotion could easily and without much cost, repair a lot of the issues, which some fans find more than disappointing. One promoter has stood down ( or back? ) only last week and the other remains unwell. The owner has said he will not risk running future meetings if the track conditions and weather are not as the riders want them. There is not much for the fans to "get behind". A number of fans do not want the banned rider to return and are unhappy about the attitude of others in the team and that has caused a lot of disillusionment.

 

I suspect that the owner now believes that the core numbers of the crowd are not likely to fall much more and that he can go on with things as they are. That might be true and hence the lack of "repair work" to this situation. That may be the situation at a number of UK speedway tracks.

When the season started I'm sure a lot of clubs seemed to be getting decent crowds but with every shambles that comes along (on a regular basis) I'm sure that's why fans are giving up. As usual I planned to do a fair few meetings but with lack of regular meetings I've lost a bit of interest and have not done as many as I intended

Another twist and turn to the Stars season.

 

Wonder who we're bringing in as a Number 1?

I thought the transfers deadline was 28th, maybe the authorities were told to keep the notification quiet till today.

Kings Lynn can't bring in a number 1 unless it was done before the deadline. Can you have a guest for a rider you've sacked?

 

I assumed the 28th was the deadline for telling BSPA, Today is the deadline for telling fans :P

 

Hence the Ipswich debacle on the 30th

Suppose we will now see a return of the forum troll alias THJ fan or whatever he called himself

 

 

I got a feeling this wont be the last team change mate .

What was all that transfer deadline stuff about then?

 

Presume it's still a 'free for all' then when it comes to transfers...?

 

Or is the transfer deadline still in place and the "arr, but this is Speedway" rule superceded everything else again..?
