pubichair Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 If there is a relegation match I'll be cheering the opposition but via live updates. I can't bear ever entering the gates of the AFA again while in the Premiership. Go back to the league where we belong and rider show they care a bit more yet few weeks ago you was praising the riders and management now all of a sudden you slating the club buster and everyone!

Daniel Smith Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 yet few weeks ago you was praising the riders and management now all of a sudden you slating the club buster and everyone! Need to make your mind up! You would be the first to say back your team through good and bad times  I've nothing against the team at all. I like the team and enjoyed watching them. The stance Buster took with Batchelor and Holder I agree with. As a season ticket holder though I've been mugged and the contempt that Buster has for loyal supporters is unbelievable. By the sounds of it many fans feel the same and didn't attend against Poole on Thursday too. No doubt there'll be even less for the Rye House meeting.  I take it you're very happy with how things are then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to the league where we belong and rider show they care a bit more really can't see it would make much difference you are basically watching the same riders I'd guess 60-65% ride in both leagues the Championship is a very different league to the old PL we last raced in the differences between the Premiership and Championship is minimal guests and R/R is just as bad , so what would be gained I'm not sure - and dropping a league isn't going to sort the more deep rooted problems out at the club either .

Gresham78 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 It seems to me that things started to go wrong for KL the moment Chapman took over the Chairmanship of the BSPA.He comes over as somebody with too much on his plate. In my opinion he should either stand down from his position at the BSPA or take a back seat a the AFA and leave the running of the Stars to other people. Â Its a pity he can't sort out his issues with his son as this would surely help turn around the fortunes of the club. Â At the moment he seems to be running the club into the ground, going from one crisis to another and alienating a lot of the fanbase in the process. Â Its a shame because with the facilities and catchment area Kings Lynn Speedway should be a successful enterprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 But of course it is well known that the stock car operation is money spinner for Buster. Why worry if the speedway supports falls away because he can still use the excellent venue as an income stream. Not much incentive to throw good money after bad on the speedway side of things. Crying out for a new promotion to run the speedway team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I was simply paraphrasing what Chapman said in this weeks Speedway Star, his words not mine " clubs should be able to have a guest for any missing riders that are on official duty elsewhere, or for whatever reason ". Â If you haven't already, have a read of this topic http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=85183 there are some comments there on his latest words of wisdom. Guests are just sticking plaster masking the real problems. Until premiership go to one or two nights and the other leagues different nights it will just be more and more guests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've no axe to grind. My real interest in King's Lynn this year began when I happened to be on holiday in the region in the 2nd week in July. I looked at the fixture list for Thursday 13th July and saw a rather juicy match in prospect and arranged to be there. What happened next is well documented. But before people begin to hang Buster for his "interest in speedway" I would point out the following. This was the league table on Wednesday 12th July 1 Belle Vue............14 34 (+16) 2 Wolverhampton..14 33 (+9) 3 King's Lynn.........12 25 (+7) 4 Poole..................13 24 (+3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 No point in looking too carefully at what 2018 might bring until the BSPA present their seemingly annual re-structuring plan. As the league structure, team strengths, team building averages, pay rates and d/u & guests are all up in the air, until much later there is not much to look forward to that might improve the fortunes of KLS. Even the very existence of the Stars seems to be hanging in the balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Too true my friend,,, My biggest fear is that the BSPA aren't aware of the severity of the problem, and will as usual paper over the cracks... Â Three years ago, as many as 10 of us would meet up each meeting and have a thoroughly good time, Them numbers started to drop. We got down to 7, then 6. At the start of the year it went back up to 5, then to 3. From that July meeting with Poole I have been the only one left of that group, And since then I have missed a few. When speaking with them other members they got fed-up with the contempt to the fans, the product on show, the attitude of the riders, the whole package......the chances of them coming back rests on the fortunes and attitude of the sport bosses. Â So please don't think we have no problems....,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 JFF time I suppose. Tonight's re-jigged team at Wolves is a good example of Just Fulfilling Fixture time. Thankfully BT are not covering it and thats an escape for the Stars management. It sounds as if a text was sent out to any available rider who fancied a spin. Perhaps the reality was that was the only reasonably priced option. The most important person at the BSPA is not the Chairman but the "crack paperer" ( of course it could be same person! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Is the Rye House meeting going to be arranged? If not, then Buster should put on an invitational meeting at the AFA before the end of the season.  Need something to end the season on a positive leading into the long cold winter.  Even if it's a mixed field, lets just have a well run meeting.  £10 admission obviously.

Haza Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I would say as long as Leicester lose tonight at Rye House then I think the meeting won't be run would be cheaper to take a fine for not completing our fixtures- as for running a open meeting I think we more chance of Holder and Batch returning in 2018 - sooner our season is over the better.

Any idea how I apply for a refund on my ticket last week because I don't think 25 pounds for one meeting is very good value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Funny, Buster was falling over himself to offer refunds at the previous double header when it looked like the second meeting wasn't going to be run. He even asked the ref to call it off.  If you're lucky you might get £7.20 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
