It just illustrates the attitude of the club, that is infuriating the real fans by being kept in the dark. I am not particularly bothered who it is , but being kept informed is the important part Unless we are told of the team before the match , there is no way I will pay to watch speedway without knowing who I will be watching... I thought this Brundle chap was suppose to be take the club on a new direction, pointing out the Club and Fans being of one vision. This sure contradicts a of that statement .... 14 hours ago, Bagpuss said: With all due respect to Steve it's ridiculous that the track photographer knows the team but customers don't. There should have been a press release yesterday morning let alone this morning. The club really don't help themselves. nothing to do with information from the club!! but i was in Warsaw for the practice friday and GP saturday and was talking to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Leicester will have RR for Anderson and Wells for King as his arm was very painful after a couple of rides tonight so has pulled out of Kings Lynn tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say so - I used to have a similar opinion- but at least they no how to respect customer how to value the most important thing in an club the fans .Speedway has long forgotten that .

Seems to me you have to be a happy clapper or they don’t want you . Edited May 16, 2018 by Haza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a petty statement that is , Do you really think you have to pay admission before you are entitled to an opinion ?? How sad !! 10 hours ago, Trees said: If Cookie pulled out last minute then no doubt Dale had to find a replacement, no point in putting a PR out naming Cook only to have to retract it with another one a few hours later? We now know the team, let’s just go there, pretend we are Polish fans and make some noise for our team There’s real needle in this meeting, something hanging on the aggregate score, something to get the adrenaline flowing As much as I respect the work you do for the supporter club, sometimes you talk such utter rubbish. It takes less time to make an announcement than it took you to write this post. When there is unrest with the fans , someone in the know could put their minds at rest with one small message. We don't need to know every last detail, but we deserve to know the real situation, instead of the rumours that were flying around.. As for acting like the poles, this is a two way thing, Over there, they are appreciated, they are kept in the picture, and are not ripped off. Probably if we were treated similar then probably we would act the same way. 10 hours ago, Trees said: Yeah used to be but they have fallen out of love with the sport, it happens, there’s loads of ex fans about who keep an interest but don’t care enough to go any more ........ I have one at home here, but at least he doesn’t criticise at every single given opportunity, he’d rather reminisce about the old days when he was young and loved speedway Fans, Customers, Mugs, that's the feelings I have on the way us speedway supporters have been treated through the years. I haven't fallen out of love with the sport, my love for speedway racing is still as strong as its ever been. Going to Norwich as a youngster was encapsulating and felt like you belong to something special. When speedway started at Saddlebow Road that feeling was the same, It is only in recent years has that original perception has changed. I went through a period when I felt more like a customer than a fan because of the way the fans were being treated. Now I feel more like a Mug, being taken for a ride. Probably that's the reason so many have stop going nowadays... No, it is not the sport I've fallen out of love with , its the Kings Lynn Club that has lost my support, for the way they distance themselves from us, thinking we don't have an opinion nor the right to question the way we are being treated.... I go to Speedway now for my own enjoyment, to see close exciting racing. Win or lose, it doesn't bother me. It was the club, that has taken that membership away...

For once I do not need to add anything at all as your post is EXACTLY how I feel. Other than, sadly - the much vaunted "New Era" came to nothing. KLS seems determined to bring about it's own demise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Does Buster still have Rory as an ssset ? If so this really cops the p155. No number one for Lynn but ya own asset rides at number one for the opposition. Normally it’s the away side arrive depleted as the Home promotor has a ‘duty, to the home support to put out the strongest team possible to ensure a home victory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
