Final rider to be announced Friday. Club about to purchase a rider from another club as a full asset. Buster getting new shale delivered and a blade on the track ahead of the new season. Robert Lambert is back, one of the most exciting young talents in the world. More work with youngsters particularly during school holidays. Keep smiling.... Probably the most information we have heard for some time. Are you sure you're allowed to post that? usually all that stuff is kept most secretive..

Improvement will not happen because the product is seriously flawed. No certainly not the problems we have now we had years ago the difference was the crowds then were very much better.Look the sport is on its knees in the U.K yet i see no real leadership and a certain togetherness and everyone pulling in the same direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Have they announced Riss yet ? Or are still trying to build the excitement! Don't see the point of delaying it when we all knew the line up ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s to keep Lynn speedway in the news over the winter period rather than naming the whole team with three months to go. To keep people interested who shut off from speedway from November to March every year. Not saying I agree with it (in fact I think they’ve made a bit of a dogs breakfast out of it) but that is the point of what they are doing. It was pointed out by several people way, way back in the thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, in my experience, Trees CAN see the bigger picture - in private, but not in the smallest way - in public. No-one who is not a speedway fan will be even slightly interested that "It's Riss" The spreading out of "news" will not attract a new audience.

I realise why but it doesn't work when most know the line up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney, you are missing the point, not for the first time in this thread. Nobody is saying that the speedway in the UK isn’t in big trouble or that King’s Lynn have made a good job of this. People keep asking WHY they have spread out the announcement of riders through to March and what the point is, and we are trying to explain why the club are doing it. Robin Brundle is doing this as a marketing/media strategy, it’s been thought through, not just done on a whim. For the benefit of people who don’t go on speedway forums every day through the winter and whose attention the club is trying to grab during the off season. They are trying something different. As Ive said I don’t think it’s been done particularly well and could have been carried out much better with a structure and without such big gaps between news as that has annoyed regular fans too. So hopefully they will do it better next year. But whether you agree with it or not it’s pretty clear WHY they have tried it this way and what the point is, and it’s frustrating that people keep asking the question. Mr Brundle is a different animal to Mr Chapman, one would like to think that he will listen to and act upon feedback on this matter and others too.

NKI just saying he wants more time off as he's getting older but would help Lynn out if or when needed. Strange he drops Lynn from his schedule, but says very little about signing for a new club in Sweden. (Money talks the loudest) Also in the S/S is stated that Riss is expected to be unveiled tomorrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do come out with some odd stuff.....Trees is as big a speedway nut as there is but like many people she doesn’t read the Star, probably because it’s overpriced for what it is and the majority of stuff in it you can read on the internet either before or shortly after its published. Plus there is a lot of filling in there of little interest IMO. I expect Niels has a Swedish team lined up and I would never expect a rider to pick the UK over Sweden.

I havent missed the point, but with the the way that your team has been announced it shows us one of the reason's why speedway in this Country is in such a mess.Bagpuss you knew the team anyway, but do you honestly believe somebody reading in a local newspaper that Eric Riss is signing is going to make a huge difference.? On the other hand if your club had a huge signing to announce. Ie) a Drabik or a Smektala that approach would have been spot on and understandable and created a wow factor just saying.!!

Not got my SS yet (Postie is a bit late today!) but the article on speedwaygp.com confirms NKI is racing in Poland, Sweden and Denmark. Also confirms he still lives in UK!!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
