Typical speedway, better of with less people to support it 

Have fun

By your remarks on here you do seem to encourage it yourself.

18 pounds doesn't attract new adults. Price has put my mates off in the past. But I think things are going to be ok. It's a shame the announcer from last year left though. He was good at running events like tonight. I liked some of the things robin was saying. He's a good talker. If he can make these plans he's saying work in terms of diet/training then it will be interesting to see how the riders improve. He was right in saying be more positive about the sport because it will influence the outside medias view. If a potential sponsor was to ever come on the forum I'm pretty sure the negativity at times would dissuade them. I know everybody is entitled to an opinion but we do all have a part to play. 

I think if we are challenging for the play offs then we will be doing well. I think it's a team build with progression in mind. Wouldn't be surprised if many of these riders are here for a couple of seasons

Doesn't matter how big a fan someone is, there's always a point that breaks that passion.

Last season did that for me and I have every right to complain if I don't believe things have improved. 

In my opinion, there doesn't look to be any improvement for 2018 so I'm complaining about it

Thank-You

Isn't complaining,moaning

Have you complained. Surely a complaint would be contacting the company. If it's just on here it's moaning.

Folder and *natch ruined Lynns 2017.Was in a play off position at the time.

NKI back.Only 2nd best to Doyle.2nd best rider in the league.Brundle on board,don't know his input yet(but it can't be worse).Promotion to encouraged to take kids.

I admit I don't think Lynn is as strong as I would of liked,and I have said so,but how many teams do you think would of like NKI.He ain't cheap !!

Your mind seems made up.

Thought it was a good meeting.Robin Brundle certainly came across very well.As did young Andersen.Didn't realise Proctor had such a bad injury as he did a few years ago.They all came across well i thought.

Not surprised at all what Buster said about promoters getting into little groups to vote certain things through.And that he still feels they need somebody independant of speedway.

People moan about it going up a £1,but unfortunately that's life everything goes up,not just speedway.

The only downside tonight was Ipswich not wanting to do a home and away challenge on Good Friday.

Running scared ?Good money for both.

Three meeting's  a modest 1.5  average he started his proper education at the Newport Wasps alongside Watson/Smart .Anyway  hope he does well  but i think Kings Lynn will be bottom of the league.

Haha well why dont you tell me then I'm eagerly awaiting your reply....

The first heat win by any KL rider (other than NKI or Lambert)  and I will remind you of your earlier profound statement:-    "Where's the heat wins apart from iversen and lambert"

Similarly as soon as any KL rider increases his average by 0.01, I'll remind you of another of your sweeping statements:-   "no improvement from those riders at all"

So there we have it ................. your second post on this issue equally as stupid as your first!

[Pinny]

Iversen is a top number one and in all honesty is a pretty damn exciting rider to watch, why on earth anyone at this point in their careers would prefer Nicki P to him at number one I dont know. 

Pedersen is probably finished now, his best days are long gone. And I am a huge Nicki Pedersen fan.

That will be heat 2

Good to see Iversen back, my favourite moment when he barged Dirty Nicki on the back straight in a Cardiff gp. Always liked Iversen and giving it back to Nicki only made me like him more.

Any rider that dishes it back to dirty Nicki gets my vote too.

Fantastic news that NKI is back in British Speedway at Kings Lynn.

[semion]

It's a so so team, built to a budget I would suggest. Rose, Lambert and the new lad are the potential improveres.  As the season unfolds there will be changes to a good few teams in the League. Injuries etc happen. 

Good that Brundle is advocating a strict fitness n diet regime.  Busters Burgers  to be replaced by Cheryl's Carrots ? 

The quid increase will do nothing to attract  new bodies to the support, what it will do is make people even more selective on the meetings they attend.  People's spare pound  is under  more pressure than for a long time. With the unknown factors of Brexit still to come.  Buster is a brave  man upping the anti for an even further inferior product.  Still as we know from the past Buster is always right.  A nice thank you for the fans who stuck by him after his massive -/:; of last season.  

For me,  I'll be there early doors to see if the 'feel' of the place is right.  If not I will leave it to all 'true' Lynn fans to keep the ship afloat.

Any news on the Team Sponsor ?  I saw good ole Rodg was in the audience last night, if they can't find anyone else maybe he will step back in again.

Apparently it was said last night that some tracks will be charging £20 for admission, absolutely bonkers.

Baggy, I look at the example of Norwich City and see they have not put up their season tickets yet again for next season.  The reason /  they recognise the fact that they  are offering an inferior product going forward.   Yet still the fans are up in arms about it.  Speedway never  wants to take its head out of the sand and look at what else is happening in the outside world.  It is like the Promoters and The Sport in General is cocooned in its own little World and not aware or prepared to accept what is happening in the World of entertainment/Sport.

Nicki had the last laugh this year on Niels, being chosen for GP. Hope he's rubbish lol

It’s not the best team in the world but it is also a team that has potential to surprise a lot of people  (look at Swindon) if proctor returns to what he used to be he’s a very exciting rider and hopefully the new danish guy is good but never heard of him if I’m being honest lol

That is the usually vain hope in building speedway teams - IF "X" returns to what he used to be. Doing that is one of the most difficult things to pull off. I can't see it happening with Proctor. His days of being "full of potential" are well in the past.
