Personally, it wouldn't bother me if they didn't announce the team till March. Its not about my impatience of the team announcement, but I couldn't think of a worse time for the club to make any announcement then at Christmas..., Its just that the Stars always appear to be last in these things. I would imagine most people could name the majority of the riders so its not that important. The post I made was just a comment made in jest of the timing of it all. I am thoroughly looking forward to Christmas spending time with ALL the family, Watching the kiddies opening their presents, the adult drinking and enjoying them selves The Christmas dinner is always a memorable one sometimes lasting for hours... There never seem enough hours to indulge watching the telly and have to rely on catch up to see the programmes we missed. I often spare a thought for those not as fortunate as ourselves and regularly finance a bed over the Christmas period. But something like Speedway is probably the furthest thought from my mind. and I offer no apologies for that. Trust me , I don't let anything spoilt this wonderful time if it can be avoided.... Happy Christmas to you all , friends and foes.... Happy Christmas to you Webby you take some stick for being negative but when thing's are right and good you are the first to applaud it.At Swindon we have gone a different route to your club we have announced the team early getting Doyley back was a great tonic so that helped.Your owner in a way represents how speedway in the U.K. is run still no real transparency a secret society and most of the communication between Chapman and the speedway public sparse.If you were opening a restaurant in March wouldn't you want to be publicising what you have to offer and dangle a few carrots??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalterPlinge Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I can understand impatience to know the team, but I don't see why some people make it an obssession and then go all gloom and doom just because they don't know who the riders are yet. It's the same 7 riders whether they get announced today or 31st March. No one can see them ride until April, and you don't win any prizes for being the first club to unveil your full team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd there is nothing on the BSPA or Kings Lynn web site, and yet its announced in the Speedway Star that went to print days ago! Not complaining, just an observation.

Bald Bloke Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Great start with Lambo. Hoping the next rider announced can back him up in 13 and 15.. Someone in the 7-8 point bracket, but not an Aussie on 7.61 Edited December 27, 2018 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
