Sadly as things stand I like many more choice is not to attend - and I can’t see that changing unless there is a inspirational signing over the winter . 

Your team topped the table for the first time ever?? Was unlucky in the play offs due to late injuries. Lynn's best season in the top flight for 50 years.. How many meetings did yo attend at the AFA in 2018?

How much better than 2018 do they have to be in 2019 for you to pay to watch them .. Your choice how you spend your money and we are all have an opinion.

As I said if what Lynn did in 2018 wasn't enough for him to attend, he might as well give up

Haza, with you not going to Saddlebow and not having a good word to say about Speedway, let alone Lynn Stars.  Sorry, but to me it begs the question why waste ink ( old school here) posting ?

Just humour me and explain what it is you are trying to achieve ?  Speedway frustrates the hell out of me and I ain’t afraid to release that frustration on here, but I still go when I can. 

Sorry for the speeling . (Sorry couldn’t resist). 

Happy New Year to one and all. Yes, even Shovvy down at Poole.

I recall prior to the start of last season he criticised the team and was “ put together on the cheap”......look what happened,  the most successful team KL have ever had in the top flight.......perhaps after  attending for years he was slightly annoyed in missing out ! It’s a shame he missed out on witnessing Erik Riss as he was pure entertainment, hopefully another signing that will be announced before the start of the season, be it by the SS, EDP, The Sun, News at Ten or he club.....it does not matter !

It would be interesting to know who in his eyes would be an “inspirational signing”..........Nicky Perdersen I assume ? 

[Bald Bloke]

 

Yes Bert..

Chris Holder would be inspirational on his low average

Yes , lets look what happened ,     we started well off the pace,      Niels was never there,  Rose gave up  and Andersen struggled to compete.   When the injuries to Andersen and Kerr came we were anchored to the lower regions of the league.  It was only the introduction of Riss and MPT that propelled us to the height of  league winners.   Yes, in that final we were hit by injuries. but we were let down by everyone else,  The Managers, the Referee, the BSPA, the rule makers, the  guest riders, they all compered to make the  final a joke.   53 yrs I had waited for that moment only for it to be turned into a  charade.    The belief in this sport,  I had cherished for all those years was finally destroyed that night...    When that integrity goes there is nothing else that matters....

As in all previous, I attended every meeting last year.   I did so, knowing  the supporters  were of little importance to the club, and were usually treated like Mushrooms.      Could you ever imagine  Theresa May  announcing to the media a big decision before letting her Cabinet know,   but that what happened to the Stars speedway this week.        Of course, all and sundry should know about the acquisition of Robert Lambert  , but I feel the fans should have been the first to know .    like the olden days when the riders were introduced at a supporters meeting.  It was nothing more than I expected from such a secret society.... 

I'm pleased  I feel the way I do.     To all those who still go. I wish you all well,   but a lot of changes will have to be made  before I go again.....

If you don’t go Webbo does this mean you will be lost to the Forum ? As in it must be difficult to comment on something you haven’t actually seen.

If so thanks for your input and enjoy what ever it is you will replace Speedway with. 

[Barrow Boy 2]

Dale Allitt says that only Jason Doyle averaged more that Robert Lambert in 2018. This is I think is based on their finishing GSAs but If you just use their actual 2018 results, including bonus points, I think Robert comes out on top.

You pretty much say the same thing every season.

The Theresa May thing is a bad example.The cabinet are her management team,and like in most things whether you like it or not she will let her fans/supporters know last,and she probably has about 5,000,000 such fans.The press and media etc will always know whats going on before the fans do that's there job.

Think it’s called narcissism. 

Actually it’s like spitting in the food that the majority are enjoying. As somebody who enjoys going to every meeting at lynn I find it insulting and it paints a bad picture of a sport that has imperfections but is still pretty good. 

It’s a consumer mentality rather than a fan mentality. And customers although wrong are told they are always right. On a forum like this. Although having gone to many more meetings as the guys that run the sport down, our ramblings are treated as equal even though they probably shouldn’t be and people always gravitate to negativity. 

Lynn is a good place to be. Room for improvement but I’m sure the negative posters own lives are very much room for improvement, like my own is too. I miss the days pre social media when the moaning was done in the terraces like it should be. 

This whole same faces sh*tting on every is sure getting old

The point you make about the team changes following the injuries and retirement is a good one as the upturn in form did coincide with the changes but they worked rather quite well, but you still criticise, I can’t imagine (well I can) what moans you would have had if the  enforced changes hadn’t been a success! (I would class finishing 6pts clear at the top of the league table a success)

The only way you would be happy about the announcement of signings would be if Buster knocked on your door and told you weeks before “all and sundry” who are all fans or potential fans.

As a Ipswich fan who has been used to getting regular information via the local newspapers and social media channels I can see your frustration. 

Since the takeover we are getting very little information.  We have signed 4 riders before Christmas and we only know the identities of two of them. 

There is a wall of silence which is alienating the fans or customers as we should be referred to. I can’t for the life of me see the benefits of this way of operating. Just seems it’s busters way or the highway.  

[Daniel Smith]

It's amazing how blinkered the sycophants are on here. The issues at King's Lynn and Speedway as a whole are very real. The 2019 season is a $#!+ or bust year for Buster.

King's Lynn just offer the bare minimum in the Speedway experience.

Pay your money, play abysmal music at volume 11, deliver poor racing. Then go home. Apart from the Play-Off Semi, which meeting had any atmosphere of real excitement??

The press releases are appalling with comments consisting of absolute lies. In this off season, King's Lynn has been none existent while pretty much every other club has been loud and proud at least once every couple of weeks.

King's Lynn is run badly, and this Brundle fella who was brought in to improve all aspects of commercial side seems to be just picking up extra pocket money without really delivering.

From him, I was expecting something along the lines of Glasgow and Isle Of Wight in promoting the club, but no.

For promoting Speedway, King's Lynn is one of the worst up and down the country for the whole Speedway experience. That is a fact

Absolutely spot on post - those who enjoy what’s on offer fantastic good for you , sadly it’s no longer for me

I’m not criticising anyone who enjoys what’s on offer it’s good everyone hasn’t walked away or it just be a stock car stadium, but makes your views so  right and mine so wrong I fail to see who’s to say who’s views are right or wrong ? this is a forum were I thought we are entitled to having different  views we don’t all live in a world with rose tinted glasses , When we last went to KL there was a group of ten of us that used to meet up each meeting since the Poole walk out by Holder and Batch just 1 of the ten still attends regular now I’d have thought if that’s the case speedway and KL speedway must be doing something wrong to lose long term fans can’t be good for the club - none returned last season despite having a good season we all found other things to do . But you and others enjoy it so that’s equally as good as the ones that don’t I’m not criticising anyone who attends .

There is an old saying 'You reap what you sow'   and because of that, as you say,  there is so much negatively.   

Last year wasn't that good, it could have been much better but we messed up when it mattered .    To me coming second  isn't something to be over joyed about.   Since then we have had little to be excited about, all the other teams  have been proactive in assembling decent teams, all we have to be positive about is the acquisition of Top Man,   Robert Lambert.

Making an announcement in the  S/S and the EDP  before enlightening their own fans, to me speaks volumes,   It sure illustrated how little importance the Stars management  regard  their own supporters.     Name another club that has done that...…..    

As of yet,   I have seen very little, for me to be positive  ...…     

 

Remember the saying.....   

 

 

Who reads the Speedway Star and EDP then?  As you well know and what Robin tries to do is have all media outlets announce news at the same time.
