Now it’s all about balance on here now let’s be honest here do we want a rose tinted glasses views were everything KL speedway is all glossy and everyone is happy obviously we want everyone happy in th ideal world but this is speedway - or do we want an alternative view were truth sometimes hurts ? some like the rose tinted glasses version were all dirt is swept under a very large carpet - or we all say it as we see it -it may not be what some on here want to hear but it’s an alternative view not necessarily a moan . Let’s be clear we all have speedway at Kings Lynn in our hearts but I for one won’t be taken for a mug no matter how much I love the club .

Bagpuss Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 To me it's pretty simple, balance means that when good things happen people praise the club and when bad things occur they get criticised. Trouble is the same criticisms have been raked up on dozens of occasions over the winter whereas the last two Friday announcements have hardly been mentioned, that is an imbalance. The comments about poor racing, late starting and finishing, too much grading etc are all perfectly valid but if anybody from the club was going to read them they would have done by now. With a new promoter on board the next step is to see what the first two or three meetings bring in terms of VFM (and there is extra pressure on the club with a £1 increase) and if it's not good then fair enough, get stuck in as it will be deserved criticism. February and March is the time when excitement is meant to rise and people are looking forward to the first meeting and seeing new (and old) faces representing the club, would be nice to see a bit of this while being mindful that there is plenty of work to do for the club to get people back on board and feeling satisfied again. That is balance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any reason why he would be a five rather than a four. Perhaps someone from the Club could confirm. Nothing like keeping the supporters fully informed is there?

That is balance. I'm sure if something positive happens that adds to my experience of being a Stars fan I more than some do shout loudly. This winter from the club they've added nothing that I should get excited about. I feel the team is poor, training announcements irrelevant, link up with UEA that'll have no bearing on the sport as a whole and my experience. For all that an extra £1 for the pleasure. So far the winter break has been as poor as the 2017 season itself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the addition of Robin Brundle might change that. I find that difficult to comprehend. Surely Promoters and Managers would have their finger on the pulse and want see everything that is being written, false or otherwise... You can only bury you head for so long . Had a good read of the latest news from Nathan. Must say it ail sounds real positive. I understand the logic of it all but we won't be able to judge the effect until we see the results on the track.. Must say it was a good read...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is hardly news then -surely this sort of training goes on every year about this time - looking at Twitter this morning Swindon and Glasgow are doing similar . I must have got it wrong I thought we was going to get announcements each week on Friday- so far nothing to get the fans flocking back each week - still with 6 weeks to the first meeting at KL I’m sure the excitement will build week on week .

I will let this forum know when (and IF) I receive a reply from him. Oh, and I wasn't bitching, simply stating a fact. I received no reply. I'm very pleased to say, I received a quick reply from Robin Brundle to my email query, so that's a positive in my book already. Robin went on to explain that the Club are in the process of reactivating the scheme for 2018, so hopefully that will work well this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
