No fresh faces I feel sure. Sadly. Agree. As we had with Ty and MPT, they are/were not linked with any other team. It tells the story itself really, same with Kerr, Riss and TJ. I hope Neil's has agreed to help us out, but don't want a full season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone who supports another club in the Premiership bet against you? I as a BV fan could agree to your £50 wager then watch (completely broken), as 'my' riders, several times during the season help your team qualify for the Play Offs (at their own teams' expense), by guesting for you...

But sadly the very fact that they could help their rival's cause is a huge detriment to the Sports desire to ever being taken seriously as a "proper sport' by the wider mainstream media.. Still, as RG says, they are needed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of agreed, but looking at Lynn and the Panthers line up's it don't seem like Buster is favouring his beloved Lynn this season. So who knows.

You’re right Mike - and your first paragraph hits the nail on the head - it was aimed at some of the Kings Lynn ‘fans’. The purpose of my proposed bet was to see if any of these people who are adamant that Kings Lynn will collect the wooden spoon (or to be battling with Ipswich to avoid this) would be brave enough to ‘put their money where their mouth is’ and, unsurprisingly in my view, nobody has taken up the opportunity. The bet was simple - Kings Lynn succeed and these people would £50 to the BEN fund - a price worth paying. If they don’t succeed, I would pay £50 to the BEN fund and all these negative people ‘win’ as they could take great pleasure in saying ‘I told you so’ along with Speedway benefitting from the great work the BEN fund do. Ultimately, it was the long winded way to get to the point that, no matter what is offered, you will never please everybody. I said a few months ago, people would moan if we signed Woffinden, Zmarzlik & Dudek, and I stick by that. Drop the negative attitude, get behind the sport and the team, and lets actually look forward to the 2019 season, I for one can’t wait - if the predictions are right for the remaining team spots, it will be a team of triers and a team I think the fans can connect with.

Bald Bloke Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I know Lynn's team is not out there, but know what it will be. Lynn usually only make changes when injuries happen and it worked out in 18. But if there where no injuries I guess no changes would of been made...And Lynn would have fallen by the way side.

g13webb Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 In todays S/S, It appears TJ has also signed for the club. No doubt we will hear that officially when the promotions think the fans ought to know... It was said it was sorted a long time back..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Apologies if I've missed this, but any truth in the rumour that Buster's home had a fire whilst he was away?! As for the TJ story in the Star this week - it was primarily about the help he received from the club during 2018. It stated he was 'still hopeful' of a team place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole package was about how the Lynn set up has helped him through a bad time...., He also says how they has worked harder on his fitness and the benefit he has gained by the 'great people behind US has been awesome'. In conclusion, it says 'Jorgensen is yet to be named in the 2019 side, but it would be a major surprise if he isn't in their plans'... 2 hours ago, dontforgetthefueltapsbruv said: Negative 'fake news' from Mr Webb then....

waytogo28 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 We now have been told that we have seven super fit riders, following their training camp and that they will be having on track opportunities before the April 8th opener. But we do not know who they are. A terrific publicity machine in action. Our enthusiasm will know no bounds when finally they are all revealed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Bored of the argument about revealing names (we know who the other three are anyway) but really good to hear that the fitness programme has been improved and that the riders are all hitting targets.... I’ve no doubt whatsoever that this contributed significantly to us punching so far above our predicted weight last season and hopefully it will again.

waytogo28 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Yes please, IF you do know them all for certain, why not let us all know? Or does Buster have a gagging clause on some of his supporters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 If you trawl back through the thread the three riders have been mentioned enough times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
