King's Lynn Stars 2017


Recommended Posts

A funny lot the Kings Lynn supporters. I don't see them crying for Lambert's head after pulling out of a KL match & then riding in & winning the European u21's title. Double standards me thinks!

I think he prefers riding at Newcastle where nobody else does hence easier races .

Not exactly 24 hrs later though.He's doing basically what Doyle's been doing really.Missing meetings in hope of personal gain.

And why not.?

 

When you are allowed to do so by the 'authorities' then do what you feel is right for you...

 

No No1? No problem, have a guest....

 

Who knows, it might even improve your team...😩

No don't blame Lambert need to blame whoever came up with the idea of running a double header against the same team , not sure what school of good business that person went too

 

IF it was the head of the BSPA's idea ( and pushed through by him - encouraged by the "yes. you are right" acolytes ) then speedway Is doomed for sure. It is clear that that person whose idea it was, did not go to any kind of business school. And is far removed from the feelings of fans on the terraces.

Robert had ultra scans on his knee, rested it with heat and ice treatment too. His leg is still heavily strapped up. Kudos for him for giving it a go. He couldn't have ridden in the second meeting against wolves as his knee was very swollen.

 

Congrats to Robert for riding through the pain barrier and becoming European U21 Champion. He is not a rider to give up and he gives his all when he races whoever it may be for.

 

Oh and yes..... I am biased !!

Yes you are bias!! ..... Congratulations to Robert for winning the European title, But I have mixed feelings. I can understand his thoughts of 'What's the point', why should I bother to ride in a match of no hope or importance.

 

But on the other when your ship is sinking you need all hands on deck, including Roberts !!!! I agree this double fixture against the same team, was an accident waiting t happen, and that blame was down to one person...

Just coming to terms with Thursday night being the last time I'll see live speedway this year. Gets earlier and earlier every year.

Might have to venture south of the border to watch play offs at ippo

I think that this will likely be the case. If the rumours of the New, new league structure of 12 teams in the top level Scooby Doo Doo league are correct for 2018 I can't see this working out either. Only if they dispense with the half a dozen overpaid GP level riders would it have half a chance. Even then another renamed "super league" will do nothing to attract new fans in itself.

they can re brand it re launch it they can do with it what they like but until promoters learn how to promote and respect fans nothing will change. It's dead in the water from what I can see

Feel sorry for Robert Lambert, he's committed and does his best for Kings Lynn it's a shame the rest of the team don't have the same attitude as his, that includes Buster Chapman who I thought was honest and upfront but he's done nothing but ruin Kings Lynn speedway aswell as drag down a dying sport in this country

In all the times I've supported the Stars, I cant remember a time when moral at this club was so low. But Its not just that, I get the impression that every other team are feed up to the back teeth with the troubles and shenanigans created by this club and, namely our promoter. I feel everyone would be happy if we were to pack-up because of the problems Buster has caused within the sport, and that doesn't generate much enthusiasm with us fans.....

 

I believe us fans, are between the devil and the hard place, in that we can do no more, than we have tried to do.. Buster only does what Buster wants, and we have little choice in the way the business is run. I would hate to see the club close its door on the sport here in Kings Lynn, but to think it wont happen is just burying you head in the sand. The club is in dire need of new blood, to Promote the club, , To Manage the club , To Govern the whole existence. Its so obvious Buster cant do it on his own. He needs help... Either he don't want the help or that others don't want to help, there seem to be a massive problem...

 

At Kings Lynn, the venue has so much going for it, but the biggest problem appears to be Buster persona....

 

This Club was built up to be respected and appreciated by all, Them days are long gone... These past few weeks, we have descended into a club in total turmoil ....... Surely that cant be allow to continue....

Unless those who surround Buster can encourage him to listen to fans concerns, perhaps in a series of meetings or a new style of supporters club, I can't see a future for the club under Buster's sole control. Of course as the owner he can do as he chooses but KLS will wither and finally flounder unless better ways of running the club are embarked on. It may be that he no longer values the Stars speedway team as being a viable part of the business at the AFA. Changing the name of the 2018 "top" league will not turn around the fortunes of KLS nor of the sport in general.

There are apparently 2 big articles in the Speedy Star this coming week - by Chapman and Van Stratten. Should make for interesting reading!!

 

Could be indeed - just as long as they are not heavily pushing that they are " on the right path" and " it will all work out well" and if supporters really want speedway " they must turn up to support their local team and bring a friend". Most of us have grasped that idea already.
