semion Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Where has Schlein ever stated that? Why wouldn’t Rory want to take money off of Buster. I would suggest that Rory went to the highest bidder for tonight. Now we all know that wouldn’t be short arms and deep pockets, don’t we ? Buster is the pass master of peeling an orange in his pocket with boxing gloves on. Edited May 16, 2018 by semion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Most promoters would be prepared to pay through the nose to compensate the Home fans for his own short coming ( Team full of Danes, Home meets on Danish League night). Not our Buster. He regularly shows the Lynn fans what he thinks of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory hasn’t stated that - but as far as I’m aware the club and Rory hasn’t spoken since the night of the big fall out over the state of the track . The club will never ask him to ride for the Stars while Buster is at the club . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be long before we are promised all sorts of changes in how things are run at KLS if we show how much we want speedway at Saddlebow Rd. I think a lot of people do, but not under Buster, who seems to have learnt very little and surrounded himself with yes persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 IF that’s is the case why would Buster hold on to Rory as an asset and not off loading to the highest bidder. Buster is always a shrewd one where the pennies are concerned. So to keep a rider in his 30s that you will never ever use again makes no sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site?

foreverblue Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I would go if it was my team, support the team whoever is riding for you. Could be a good meeting, you would expect some battles with Rory and Robert Lambert also Kerr and Proctor going well. I certainly don't think its all doom and gloom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, only Wolves and BV not riding tonight in the PL so guests may be hard to come by? This is another small problem with FRN,with most teams riding on a particular night that doesn't give much scope of getting a guest in.Some people don't seem to grasp this though.

Big Al Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 In June 1978, Hackney released Bent Rasmussen (Danish) and signed Billy Spiers (English) as his replacement. The riders actually swopped clubs, with Spiers having been released by Kings Lynn as chance would have it. Explaining the decision, Len Silver said "while we all loved Bent and thoroughly enjoyed having him with us, we also appreciated the growth of Speedway in Denmark and the possible dangers to us with almost half of our team committed to fixtures over there." Hackney's other Danes were Finn Thomsen and Bo Petersen. On August 15th, Hackney rode a league fixture at Leicester, and Thomsen was absent due to a committment in Denmark. So old Len was aware of the issue 40 years ago and acted accordingly! By the way, in the programme for that Leicester match, Vic White was criticising the BSPA for poor fixture planning by not having previously set aside a back-up date for the recently rained-off British final! Plus ca change..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 This situation is a complete joke and surely it's going to happen every week isn't it ? R/R for iversen and auty for toft while the opposition bring in the league's most in form rider for bjerre from what I thought would be a relatively easy deficit to over turn now will be very difficult. Kings lynn fans have had there pants pulled down once again .. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that but it took a lot of comments on twitter and possibly elsewhere before Robin Brundle actually explained the lack of guest for tonight to the paying customers. That should have been done in the press release if not sooner. It takes no more effort just a bit of thought for those paying customers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney the robin Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I really thought after last season Chapman really needed to try and win the respect back from the Lynn supporters.The Lynn supporters dont seem to want and expect much just a bit of respect and people willing to listen to there queries.You cannot keep taking the p... out of the paying customer once they stop coming it is very hard to ever entice them back.

But surely it doesn't take much to work out for anybody that the choices for guests are now limited.I'm not the cleverest of people but i could work out for myself that there are only two teams to choose from to get a guest. If Brundle had to answer every comment that is put on social media he would be a very busy man.There is always rumours floating about and i don't think they should have quash every rumour that someone starts.

You miss the point. Yes we can all work it out, but paying customers deserve to be given information. It obviously wasn't top secret so why weren't paying customers told in the press release. It's the mind set of whoever compiles the press releases to treat the customers like mushrooms. It wasn't a rumour it was dissatisfaction with the situation. There is light at the end of the tunnel tho because it seems Mr Brundle actually has some customer satisfaction awareness. Hopefully it won't be smothered by the take it or leave it attitude of the past few seasons. Edited May 16, 2018 by Star Lady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Robin Brundle's comments, as has been mentioned, good to see somebody taking an interest in customer satisfaction. What does he mean when he says 'the vote went against Wednesday clubs'? I must have missed the context of that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not our Buster. He regularly shows the Lynn fans what he thinks of them. Geoffrey Howe's resignation speech comes to mind. Something along the lines of an opening batsman discovering that his captain (Thatcher) had broken his bats just before the start of an innings. Kings Lynn produced a heroic performance at Leicester, so this is the reward? But I still think the other 6 will save Buster's bacon.
