mrss Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 No news on replacements for Kerr and Anderson is a concern. Surely the a Stars won't sign S Lambert again. His best days are long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) With the way Somerset, Swindon, Belle Vue are going it's going to be tough to make the playoffs. Need decent replacements for Kerr and Anderson now. The silence from the stars camp is deafening. Can't muddle on with guests or r/r for any matches really. Its bad enough with the Danish clashes. Not sure who the right riders are, but S Lambert or any other has bean is not the answer. Edited July 10, 2018 by kelvinht Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Can’t see Buster dipping his hand too deep in his pocket. Think he will be ‘shopping’ at Lidl more than Waitrose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Was said by Robin Brundle on BBC Radio Norfolk's Speedway Show last Thursday that the management were exploring all options to replace the two injured team members and that an announcement would be made in due course.

In truth sod all I'm sure it could be found on the iPlayer if people want to listen to it themselves.....can't remember it word for word but he recognised that we would need two signings as the two riders will be out for a fair chunk of time, and that they would be looking for the right characters to fit in with the team ethic as well as having the right averages.

Bagpuss Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Me too. To be fair there is very little out there and perhaps waiting for the averages to change again might be the best thing in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds ponderous and reflects how in recent years KLS has not been quick off the mark. A remarkable result would be if Robin Brundle could influence the visa issues and enable the club to re-sign Chris Holder. He is hungry now and would be well, " coming home" Edited July 11, 2018 by waytogo28 spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there are many riders abroad who could fill a place , but like you say he'll have to have deeper pockets. Obviously it depends on how important the promotions see it ...….. For us to stand any chance of reaching them Play-offs we need replacements now, failure to do that would signal their intentions loud and clear.......

Going by past seasons we will muddle through to complete our fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I wonder if THJ could be tempted over to replace Lewis? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there is very little out there and perhaps waiting for the averages to change again might be the best thing in the long run. It could be as NKI is still on a 9. His will drop to around 7.5 and they might be able to re declare then ?. Who knows what Buster's thinking. THJ for Lewis wouldn't do much for me and he will probably cost a lot for a 5 pointer.

Bagpuss Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Thing is mate if people are stamping their feet demanding replacements it needs to be somebody and I haven't seen too many names suggested so far. With averages I was thinking that one or two CL riders averages may drop a little for August meaning there may be more options open compared to now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 We’ve still have a chance of the play offs with the right signings those play offs are more than possible- or we just complete the outstanding fixtures and try again in 2019 but just for once I hope the boat is pushed out rather than just going through the motions to end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice for the fans if Buster pushed the boat out and went for a play off place, after the back end of last season. Try and end on a high, not just muddle through to the end of the season. I know it ain't easy, but it would go a long way if he has worked hard finding the best riders available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant imagine the fans will turn up in their hundreds if Buster don't come up with decent replacements. Fans go each week to support their team and hope they are successful, but to expect them to turn up when they haven't a hope of success would be a different proposition. Again hit by injuries, it seems the Stars are always up against it. This year we had the nucleolus of a good team, only to be deprived of riders when meetings clashed. If we give up this opportunity now, just because of an injury to Kerr, we may as well ask 'What's the point'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Think several riders would like to come to if they are available You only have to read what the riders that we have now are saying Kerr wants back at Lynn next year and that also goes for Procter Toft Jorgnsen who have praised the club. No one twisted there arm for statement they have made. they must mean it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
