As I recall the majority of the bans were as a result of disagreements with an individual. Not saying they were correct or incorrect but If that's a sound business reason to continue the ban they obviously don't want to increase crowd numbers.

Why isolate fans with bans on social media an indefinite ban serves no purpose A short ban maybe - I was banned for what I believed was saying some home truths I wasn’t offensive I didn’t think but there you go . As you say they clearly don’t want to increase crowd levels . Only in speedway Edited April 16, 2019 by Haza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riss and Jorgensen brave manoeuvres down the back straight. King and Lamberts battle and then Heeps overtaking Lambert. Toft passing King. Jorgensen Gp move on Heeps. That's off the top of my head while a bit bored at work. Didn't Lambert overtake Heeps in 15 too. Edit: Forgot Harris around Kerr bend 3. Finished at 21-15 pretty decent time I thought. Yayyyy Tellboy It was a tight match (with all the emotion that goes with it) until heat 8 when we pulled away by 6 pts There was some exciting racing 100% and we got the win over the Witches, can't be bad. Then off to a room full of fans for the press conference, everyone was happy, apart from Kasper who bravely faced us but as expected EVERYONE voiced their support for him, it was so good to hear. Thomas was obviously voted Rider of the Night by the KLSSC member, who else! Onwards and upwards for our Stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is but I've got along without them for some time now so in the words of the song I'll get along without them now Instead of the blue and gold hued version given out by the club I prefer to read the likes of Trees thro to G13Webb and all shades in between and make my own mind up. I tend to be swayed by the likes of Speedball and Bagpuss whose opinions I totally respect as they tend to call a spade a spade and in the main are unbiased.

Onwards and upwards for our Stars I felt really gutted for Kasper as he sat there at the conference.He looked a broken man to me,he really is struggling at the NA.But fair play to that gentleman in the corner who spoke on the mike in trying to raise Kasper's morale.And then roundly applauded by all in the room. Also loved the Brexit question which i thought was so funny,i hope that's how the person intended it anyway.

Am I not interested anymore? That’s news to me just because I chose not to attend doesn’t mean I’m not interested anymore I wouldn’t have deleted Kings Lynn Speedway they blocked me for a view that not club policy they don’t like criticism of any kind if your a happy clapper your fine I guess the clubs Twitter account has become a sunshine and roses account were your not allowed a point of view other than the clubs view , But if they won’t listen to fans views then Speedway gets what it’s deserves .

A while ago if a rider was struggling a senior team mate to would take his bikes on track for a few laps after the meeting. Then report back with set up tips and anything else he thought needed changing. Doesn't this happen anymore? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate. We get it. Over and over again! The 1 thing more boring than brexit is this regurgitated topic. You’re entitled to it but nobody cares if you are there or not. . its good to see a good performance from the lads. I’m glad the crowd showed support to Kasper. He may struggle at home but the points he scored somewhat unexpectedly were the difference at Poole. If he keeps that up away then in the bigger picture. As long as we keep winning at home then it doesn’t really matter too much 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Great home derby win With more to follow this year it’s like rolling the clock back Track looked very good As did Peterborough last week. Some real positives with the two other local teams now racing .I enjoyed going back to Saddlebow after not being able for last year. The place looks very good now. Roll on for a great Stars year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Agree to a point but he needs to start showing something at home eventually.....if he is scoring 5 or 6 away every time then it’s not such a big deal but he hadn’t even looked competitive at Lynn yet. One would like to think that he is practicing and getting advice on set ups and riding technique. He should at least be making half decent starts by now which is two thirds of the battle.

semion Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Is there more than Kings Lynn as a problem to Anderson? As in what kind of scores is he knocking up for Sheffield. If he is not hitting 3rd heat leader/2nd string scores at that level then maybe there are bigger issues. I thought I read he was better prepared for this season than ever before with a full time mechanic onboard. All seems to point to issues with the lad himself. Maybe an intensive ride out with say Rob Lambert over a couple of days around Saddlebow could be a make or break for lad. If there is then no marked improvement, maybe both parties should shake hands and go thier seperate ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
