mrss Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 When are people going to realise that Wednesday's abandonment was the right decision? No one is to blame , there was no other option. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis isn't going to earn anything for a while now. He has a peg ant wife and a Young child to support. Kaspar isn't earning either. So fans worrying about 8 or 10 pounds refund is insignificant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haza Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Daniel Smith said: For years SL I thought the same, never criticised Buster or anything King's Lynn. Like some of the other Stars supporters on here, I would shoot people down for negativity. For me I feel in the last 2-3 years supporters seem to have become a burden to him. Years ago us fan where so important to him, immediately on the mic to explain what's going on etc. Going by what's been said with regards Wednesday it seems he didn't want to address anything. In the past when he got heckled on the mic he'd answer back. To just hand the mic back and walk off isn't the Buster you and I remember. The way he handled situations last season was nothing short of appalling. People obviously say you should move on, go or don't go, but when the club you so used to love starts to fall apart why should I just disappear. I want King's Lynn as a club to be great again, an atmospheric place to be for everybody. The Premiership Buster is a totally different monster than the Premier League Buster. One difference now he’s Chairperson of the BSPA my guess he has to bite his tongue while he’s in this position- imagine how it look if he had a right go over the PA and being Chairperson of the league can imagine the comments on here - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about how the fans are treated by KLS ( and that Is Buster ) I will happily give 50% of my refund to Lewis. How much will I be donating Buster? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for earning nothing, that's part and parcel of injuries to self employed worker's. Don't see people scrambling to raise money for self employed worker's that fall off scaffolding daily.

I'm currently out of work, zero income, I paid £18 to watch that debacle on Wednesday night... unfortunately I can't rely on insurance payments. Also where was Buster's compassion when he binned off Batchelor and Holder the other year, knowing full well they wouldn't be able to find alternative employment in this country for the rest of that season?

Bald Bloke Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 KING’S LYNN Stars have moved to clarify discount available to fans who attended Wednesday’s abandoned clash with Leicester.The meeting was called to a halt nine races short and the result does not stand after serious leg injuries to Stars racer Lewis Kerr and a shoulder injury for Kasper Andersen.As a consequence fans producing their readmission ticket from Wednesday at a future Stars meeting will be given a £9 discount in accordance with the standard policy of £1 off per heat lost.In addition, King’s Lynn Speedway have taken the decision to have two ambulances at future meetings to avoid delays in the unfortunate event of crashes and injuries which require hospital attention.Tru Plant Stars chief Keith Chapman said: “First and foremost our thoughts remain very much with Lewi and Kasper, that’s our priority.“I can’t explain how much of a tough night it was for everyone at the club on Wednesday and I think the majority of fans realise it was just one of those nights.“We’ve taken the decision to engage two ambulances at future meetings to avoid delays and I hope clarification of discount on entry to a future meeting on production of a readmission ticket from Wednesday avoid any confusion.“Once again we thank all our fans, sponsors and Track staff for their loyal support. Also we apologise again for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Wednesday but I’m certain everyone will join me in wishing Lewi and Kasper well. They are two great guys.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny if you are out of work and with zero income what an earth are you doing attending speedway for £18 for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any 1 of the remaining home fixtures for £9 is just about satisfactory. Well done Mr K Chapman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
