Genuine question. It is impossible to be precise, but what happened back in 2017 with the Holder issue sure gave everyone the direction the club was going. That year we had the makings of a decent team that could have got somewhere near the top, but Busters attitude destroyed it all. At any other club the track man would prepare the track to suit the demands of the home team, but at Lynn, Buster does the track and sod what anybody else thinks . That day Buster sealed the fate of many fans. Some never to return since You only have to count the number of titles we have won in 50 odd years to see how well the club has done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree that things haven’t been the same since that night but I certainly wouldn’t put all the blame on Buster although he should take a large portion of it, Holder and Batchelor were an absolute disgrace and Lyon & Allit didn’t do anything to try a sort things out. Lots of people who could have put the paying public first did nothing at all and some of the damage done that night was permanent unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you no what I typed out a long reply to your post but I deleted it all - what’s the point ? Nothing will change under the current regime . Like him or not the man the club misses the most is Jonathon Chapman . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 14 hours ago, Bagpuss said: Lynn wanted Pedersen but he preferred P’boro apparently. Im not convinced there is too much difference between the teams but what they have done is stuck with riders who are popular with the regulars at the two tracks.....Kerr, Jorgensen and Proctor and Lynn, Hans, Bomber, possibly Ostergaard and BWD at P’boro. You have to remember we are a minority in here, many folk who go week in week out feel loyalty to riders who have been there several years regardless of what they score. I do think we are seeing a ‘spreading’ of resources and if Buster had one track it would be one much stronger team rather than two average ones. Welcome back Lewis Kerr by the way. Peterborough's rider's are on the decline but I believe who we have don't have any more improvement in them. Yes they're old but they do have "names" in their team. I'd 100% rather see a top 3 of Bjarne Pedersen, Chris Harris & Hans Andersen /Scott Nicholls & also they have the strength of Palm-Toft too. Apart from Cook I honestly can't see Peterborough fans wanting a swap for anyone else, can you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I don’t think fans of either team would swap many of the others’ riders, that’s the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 So Adam Ellis to Sheffield so can scrub that one off the list. Could we seriously end up going into a season with Cook, Lawson and Jorgensen as the heat leaders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bydgoszcz have said on a few occasions they are hopeful on Josh Grajczonek coming back, so unless anything has changed recently he should be in Europe at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Always on the cards but happy he is back, one of the few riders who is exciting to watch at Lynn nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I no it’s still early in the day but the interest to KL news/ signings on social media is really worrying - there be so many comments a few seasons ago on any news coming from the club but now - maybe blocking fans wasn’t such a clever idea after all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
