Bald Bloke Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I apologise to R.Lambert for saying he punched someone and for calling him a brat in the heat of the moment. Tensions were high at the stadium and on here tonight. Batchelor I didn't realise he fell but he does have a reputation for giving up when tracks are not to his liking and that's why I thought he just walked out but I was wrong. I have enjoyed this thread but I also regret some of my posts on this thread. Tensions were running high and we needed a win badly tonight after Lynn winning at our place In the end 4 big league points in the bag. Night all. At least when u go on one you see the error of your ways.TJ ain't to bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtree123 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Robert Lambert has just gone into the crowd and tried to punch a spectator! Get ya facts right, I stood on first bend and some Knob Head was hurling verbal abuse at Lambert, he then came running round and went up to him and said if you've got something to say.......say it to my face.......Bloke then shut up and wouldn't then speak to him, NO PUNCHES WERE THROWN, Robert was calm and wanted to talk but the load mouth lost his tounge hahaha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well there were riders on both teams that didn't given of their best. And yes, I was there. Unfortunately, for the good turn out of home fans, there were more of the home team who threw in the towel. When there are riders attacking the track and clocking times within half a second of that 15 year old track record, you have to question the commitment of certain individuals. The fans were incredibly patient during the major track work that took place after heat 8. But to witness an almost total collapse of the home team was shameful. What should have been a keenly competed tie between 2 sides with a real prospect of getting to the play offs, descended into farce. I wish I hadn't been there to witness this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtree123 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 How come Lambert hasn't been chucked out of the meeting? Because he has NOT PUNCHED ANYONE only confronted the knobhead who was verbally abusing him Get ya fact right idiot No I wasn't there tonight. Couldn't make it due to long planned business meetings today. However was speaking to someone who was there throughout the meeting, and got the info as it was happening. Maybe when the Lambert family sees all your slander they will sue you and rightly so for someone who wasn't there you are a sad pathetic loud mouth idiot..... Picture on Twitter of Lambert attacking a fan. that picture does on show any such thing if he punched anyone don't you think the police would be involved UPDATE! R. Lambert didnt punch anyone read his tweet. I apologise to you Robert Nobody rumbled anything. I never said or pretended I was there. Lol! Baz is a very reliable poster on here. Sorry you don't like what was happening at Kings Lynn this evening. Totally disgraceful behaviour from Kings Lynn. Well done to Middlo and the Poole lads for getting on with the job and leaving with the 4 big points. At least Gater1 had the balls to apologise to Lambert so Steve Shovlar why don't you grow a pair and do the same....... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well what an embarrassment for British speedway! Robert Lambert is an amazing Talent! But you haven't won anything of significant meaning yet! U21 does not count does not mean anything! Holder showed his true colours! Poole through and through!! We all knew that anyway. Buster needs to be sacked for Head of BSPA! Fair play to Poole for once we actually just got on with it! KK needs to go! He beat Holder who did not care one bit! Could you imagine this in any other sport! No wonder British speedway is dying! Compare this to football cricket rugby! Think I know what I would rather spend £17 on! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur54 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hopefully it might be the last we see of Holder in Britain, if we're really lucky Bratchelor might go too. What a disgraceful thing to say about holder,one of the few gp riders still here,and such a loyal rider to British speedway over the last 10 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Speedway is run just for the benefit of the riders, the fans don't matter anymore. That's why they are leaving the sport in their droves. There isn't a single promoter capable of reversing this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 How long will people pay £17 to watch a competition that was actually being decided in the pits rather than on track? British Speedway will only recover when it realises you cannot keep giving the paying public poor value for money. Did ANYONE think of the paying public tonight? Poole got their four points so for too many that's all that matters. It isn't. It's said that the senior Aussies only race here to get visas. If so it shows, Doyle excepted. I was one of those there who wish that I had not been. The fans desire to watch the racing they had paid for was pushed aside by some riders attitude of "we are not going to race on this". There was very little volume of rain during the meeting and the early heat times were the fastest for a long time. It looked good. And if it were a GP or a "significant meeting" it would have just continued without complaint. Those riders who objected to riding and the club officials who went along with the charade of "protest" certainly did not consider the paying public last night. The paying public were cheated. I was cheated and I would like my money back. Will we ever be told who instructed the riders to "down tools"? Did it come from them themselves and who started that debate, if that was the case? Does the result not stand? Why is there no result listed, even though the meeting was concluded? I was a Stars fan but Poole deserve the points. Who does control a meeting, is it not the referee? The last time a promoter abused the public and the sport he was dismissed, why is it not going to happen this time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnboy Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Well I have been going to Kingslynn since I was 6 months old (1972) and that has to be the worst meeting I have been too. The track was grippy but that's how the lynn riders wanted it (from a reliable source) lambert was even on the tractor with buster telling him what they wanted done before the meeting! In the days when we had crump and pedersen this was how they wanted it ever week, I am disgusted with the efforts of holder and batchelor to certain extent. Would not suprise me that they both get sacked from Kingslynn and end up replacing kaspersak and klindt at Poole. I left after heat 12 along with many others I know on the second bend. Ok the track was not perfect but the riders attitude tonight was disgusting would Chris holder do that while riding for tourn ?? I don't think so !! If I was buster I would say f*ck it and walk away from speedway, the track was rideable but not the best but if Poole riders could ride it why could not Kingslynn?? The negative of some one of the others spread through the whole team and they all just gave up and could not be assed while Poole smelt blood and went for it. Even though I am a season ticket holder I don't know if I will go anymore this season. I am not a fan of dale allitt but I hope he is ok and is out of hospital soon 👍 I hope Kingslynn speedway issue a statement and don't just brush this mess under the carpet like they have done in the past.

waytogo28 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 For a club like Lynn with a great history and in the past a professionally run outfit Buster Chapman has taken it to the lowest of the low. It is so sad to see. Heartbreaking for some us old timers. I really wonder what the likes of Mayrie Littlechild and Martin Rogers would make of how this once family orientated club is now being run. Have to say, sadly that's me all done How on earth is this person head of British Speedway ? Be afraid, be very afraid I have to agree with all of the above. Especially if the result does not stand. I won't be going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 This is nothing against Poole who seem to have got on with the job in hand. However, because of the KL Aussie (and Lambert) meltdown Poole were gifted 4 (small or big) points that they wouldn't and shouldn't have had. This means that the trailing pack (Swindon and Rye House) have just been disadvantaged and that is wrong! Some punishment needs to be given out here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post g13webb Posted July 14, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 In all my time this was without doubt the greatest demolition, the sport has ever seen. If ever there a was occasion when the self destruct button was pressed, then it was last night. Having scored an impressive away victory the previous night, what could possibly happen to stop us gaining a double over our bitter rivals. Thinking before the start, how nice the place looked with the new shale, and that wonderful new electric scoreboard. With Rain in the air, I expected we will start on time, and the proceedings to flow. Batch won Heat 1 in an ultra quick time, but Kasprsak struggled to a halt, Heat 2 Rose won in another quick time and Shanes struggled. Lambert impressively won ht 3 but Starke struggled. A pattern is emerging. the times are getting slower, the races are spread out with only 3 finishers. Heat 4 Andersen beat Chris Holder from the gate to win, Chris give up on the second lap....Lambert again wins ht 5 with Kasprsak giving up . Heat 6 we are on a 5-1 when Batch hits trouble, Jorgensen takes over before coming to grief causing a 3 man pile-up. The track is deterriating before our very eyes. Holder refuses to come out for ht 7 and is excluded. There is mayhem in the pits nobody knows what going on. The night has turned into a nightmare. Buster has to take the lions share of the responsibility. He was to blame for the state of the track. Unofficially, We have been told the old shale reacted with the new stuff and went solid with no give. The Ref has to take some blame for the way the meeting was drawn out. Even a blind man could see the track was wrong, yet it took 4 people refusing to ride, before the Ref went to the pits to confront the problem. And lastly the riders have to take some blame as well. There were other people who struggled but it was Chris Holder who initiated the proceedings of not wanting to ride. Lambert who had 2 comfortable race wins was got at, else he would have continued. But it was so obvious the 2 Aussie couldn't give a damn for the sport, the fans or the fact this was an important meeting. They wanted out.... We fans had to wait over an hour for track work to be done, that should have been completed prior to the meeting, without one word of reason from the officials. They expected us to stand around and wait.. Eventually the meeting was completed, long pass the finishing time. The few people that remained went home in silence. this had been a knife through the heart of the sport. Never seen such shambles in all my life. I feel no urge left to ever go again. this was that bad... It appeared the senior riders were complaining of the track, yet the younger ones relished the conditions and put on a decent showing. Holder had Batch really went down in my estimation. Pity Chris didn't have the same attitude as his brother. Kasprsak , didn't like the track but he stayed the course and won a couple of races.. I won't comment on Lamberts antics, but he has to learn you never go into the spectators pen ..... whatever the reason.... Finally, tonight was probably the last meeting many will bother to go again. We fans were treated terribly, We didn't know anything, we were not told anything, and were expected to do as they thought fit. Such a shame because tonight could have been a wonderful time when we as a club get noticed...... We sure did that..... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 So neither Shovlar or Gater1 were at the meeting but posted 'fact after fact' about what was going on!!! Laughable!! At least Gater1 had the decency to apologise. I doubt the troll will do the same. Check the thread Shovlar and before you have a pop at me read what everyone is saying about you on here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
