Danny Connor Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Brilliant. Makes so much sense to be honest, 2 meetings with a program would be 39 pounds. 27.50 is very reasonable. May even invest in some cheesey chips! This will be really interesting. I think we will have a narrow home win followed by a very close unpredictable 2nd meeting. I hope we have our gating gloves on. Lindgren thorsell masters and Schlien will be a good challenge for our top 4. On the flip side I think our reserves will own this. Of late schlien has moaned quite a bit and not really done his self to many favours from a pr perspective in my view. I'd love for him to have a poor showing but fear he will be very much in the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 People are moaning about the double header with both matches being against Wolves.To start with i wasn't to happy and thought maybe Wolves and another team would be better.But we only have Wolves,Poole and Rye to ride at home.So as i have just got in from work i thought i will take at look at the remaining fixtures for these teams.And having looked at these i now fully understand why Buster has had to do the double header just against Wolves.If those people care to look at the remaining fixtures you may understand. So bring it on,two meetings for less than a price and a half . If it's half as good as the meeting against Leicester then it will be money well spent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 The double header v Wolves is going ahead next week with a 7.30 start should be a great night of speedway. Notice some people on Facebook are moaning about the possible £25 entrance fee they feel it should still be £17 for both meetings. Just proves you can't keep some people happy. whoever wants to see the same team twice in one night ? and I don't fancy still being there at gone 11pm on a Wednesday night . With all the time Buster takes driving his tractor what time is this predicted to finish. 11.15 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunce Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks DWP for sharing that with us. I'm sure we all wish Nicklas a speedy recovery and hope there is nothing seriously wrong. I know he doesn't want to let anybody down but its obvious he should stop riding straight away and get himself well. Lets hope all goes well for him on friday.

With all Schlein's grovelling and backing of his Aussie pals of late, imagine how he's going to explain a good score on a track that is so bad. so hopefully he continue his barren run and blame it all on a badly prepared track. These comments Schlein has made in support of Holder and Batch has left a real bad taste in my mouth. When Rory was badly injured, no club or individuals did more for him than Kings Lynn Stars . They gifted him a testimonial , they put on a pay night with the fans and the collections were never ending. What a pity he don't remember these important facts, rather than lower his persona to that of the other whinging Aussies..., 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to be learnt over the last two season is it's Busters way or the highway even if in Rory case he was bang out of order and clearly wrong .

John Scrutton Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I remember a meeting v Leicester running along smoothly until the rain started in Heat nine 3 of the riders came to the tapes for Heat 10 to get a result it wouldn't have ideal but it would have had Leicester come back for a re-run. Who was it still sitting in the pits No other but another whinging Aussie Mr Doyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take anything Rory has said as an attack on the fans, we don't run the club, we support the club and the riders the management sign, it's our club, we help keep it running but the riders deal with the promotion.

Rory may we'll be bitter towards that night when he was spoken to in a not very professional manner to so the least - I think most employees in that situation wouldn't be none to happy with there ex employer. You can call Rory and Holder and Batch all you like but the promotion wasn't innocent in both occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 With all the time Buster takes driving his tractor what time is this predicted to finish. There is no way that with Buster's track record of how meetings are run and tracks prepared ( and with the puppet Clerk of the Course ) that these matches will finish before 11.30 pm. Three intervals to fit in! I will be voting with my feet and staying at home even though I do like the new look team. And all because of unnecessary call off's earlier.

You can call Rory and Holder and Batch all you like but the promotion wasn't innocent in both occasions. Firstly, I can assure you I'm not delusional in any way. I am well aware of Busters involvement in most of the arguments. Buster for one, is acutely aware that fans come through the gate, pay their money and expect to see speedway racing. The sport is not a charity and bills need to be paid . All issues, surrounding arguments with Buster, is normally related to the financial side of the business. If the promotions cant make the venture pay, then the club will close.... Argument with Riders like Schlein, Holder and Batch will always create conflict, them thinking only of themselves and all their arguments are centred around personal opinions, Never once do the fans come into their thoughts.... People like yourselves have short memories. It was Buster, who no doubt , footed the bills to bring each of these riders to Kings Lynn hoping their expertise would reap rewards for the club.,. I would imagine Buster has given them far more than they have given to the club. And yet you still think they did no wrong. I think it's time you woke up and see the real world. If British Speedway relied on the likes of the 3 mentioned above , our sport will be dead years ago.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Sometimes you talk utter rubbish. You see everything black and white. Unfortunately life is not like that. The speedway in this country is in such a precarious position that Promotor and Riders need to be on the same side. Every argument and counter decision has a cost to bear, and usually its the promoter who has to foot the bill . Each called off meeting must cost thousands in lost revenue and payments, When Buster has a bust-up like the Poole match and with Rory last year, nobody wins, the disgruntled fans go home not having seen a match, the riders go home not earning a full package, but it is Buster who has to foot the bill. Now, surely even you can see the problems situation like this cause. How times have changed. Looking back to a Good Friday morning (March 1975) Kings Lynn were due to ride against Leicester, in the Border Trophy. During the night, and the following morning the Snow came. the roads were blocked, and some the riders failed to arrive. World Stars like Terry Betts, Trevor Hedge, Ray Wilson Dave Jessup all turned up ready to race. Team were made up with reserves but the show went ahead . There were never any thought of the meeting being cancelled. We had snow on the infield and round the boards but the rider just got on an rode. That day, 2000 people went home happy, having seen the introduction of the new sensation, Michael Lee. The riders today seem to forget the fans, yet without them there is no sport. The bust-up with Rory shouldn't have happened. Rory had just survived a horrendous life threatening accident, that no doubt played on his mind. probably he was the wrong man to ask? Had Rory been in Buster shoes, probably he would have thought differently. I sure Rory could have rode round slower to suit the conditions. The same with Holder and Batch, had they had thought about the fans, non of the trouble would have happened. As we have all seen, the fans are drifting away from the sport because of the contemptuous way they are treated. There're not many left, and while riders think they are bigger then the sport, the trend will continue. The sport has to put the fans first... and if that means riding in poor conditions then so be it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The fans wouldn't be satisfied these days to watch riders poodling around in boiler suits on a wet track or giving it 50% at the back of a race though. Should riders be given the choice to race in tricky conditions if a promoter decides to go ahead with a meeting with a dodgy forecast, with no penalty, just to get the meeting over and done with? If say 10 out of 14 riders agree then go ahead, just give them extra rides. Obviously there would have to be a limit but the meetings can go ahead, promoter not lose money, fans erm go home happy?

Aces51 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 According to reports on here the track preparation has been much improved since the Poole meeting resulting in better racing. The question is why it has been so poor for the last couple of years? By getting it right now the promotion have shown that it can be done, so why wasn't it? It's not as if it's a different track curator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
