It's a rural area and many fans travel 20+ miles to get to speedway, lots of them after work making a 7:30 start difficult to get to. Some of us refuse to work late on a Wednesday (good old Tesco and availability forms haha) but hell aren’t I knackered on Thursday evening after only 4ish hours sleep Weds night but it’s worth it Edited May 9, 2018 by Trees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal outlay maximum returns . Not sure if Buster rents the stadium to TrackStar or whatever the bangers are called,So get's nil of the gate money, or lets them have the stadium for free and takes admission money. The latter seems the better deal for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I would think it’s Trackstar who get the admission otherwise there is nothing in it for them. Buster would get a hire fee plus gets the revenue from the Food Drink etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case surely you must get the reasoning behind starting at 19:45? I understand what you say about being bothered though....if you add into the mix the cost, often dodgy weather, teams turning up understrength, our team being understrength and other sport on telly it's often easier and less risk to stay at home whereas years ago people went come what may. In general speedway promotions need to do and offer more to get people out of their front door and to the stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Iversens form must be starting to worry Stars fans ... one injury too many? Certainly not the top dog he used to be. Quite sad seeing some of his scores at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of those that went come what may even if it was raining when we left for the track - not no more been caught too many times - at night at the speedway cost for us both £55 and I’ve walked out of the stadium many times thinking why did we bother going . Times have changed and so has my attitude towards the sport . It’s very much can take it or leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 After learning that Denmark takes priority even with British rider's I have no doubt there will be meetings this season where fan's will turn up not knowing rider's are missing. We're now at the mercy of the Dane's and we could turn up with Iversen, Andersen, Jorgensen, Palm Toft and Lambert missing. The promotion have said they are "working with the DMU" to try and stop it happening every week but the promotion haven't said it won't happen again. The team has had a promising start but with no squad system can be totally destroyed if rider's are called up on Danish league duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I can't imagine they won't tell people in advance of riders are in Denmark. The worry of course is trying to fit in the postponed early season fixtures on nights when riders aren't in Denmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it last year in not telling us riders were missing until we got through the gate. I believe if Lambert & or Iversen is missing due to riding in Denmark it will hit the attendances quite hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 And if you think the club has improved on last year, they only announced on the day that Lambert was in Denmark and Proctor was in the PRC yesterday. The club is being run by a shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm going to leave it there because with all due respect it's difficult to reason with somebody who is only interesed in running the club down at any opportunity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I don’t give a stuff where Lynn riders are when it’s not a Kings Lynn Team meeting. The PLRC is about the indivdual not the team he happens to ride for. Team Speedway is what works for me. I guess I’m old school but that’s what I was brought up on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much information we are told and how many fans are put off from going....... It certainly will. If there truly has been a "revolution" at KLS and they are doing everything differently and better we should get the team on Monday and not 18 hours before the event ( because Niger Pearson was always too busy). After all there is an house media specialist now and any team bookings for guests need to be made in advance ( don't they?) when we know they are needed well before the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
