Just shows that one person  shouldn't be involved with the running of two separate clubs , we all know he shouldn't of been allowed to buy Peterborough especially  with his reasons for doing so and its clear that many fans of Kings Lynn and Peterborough are not happy with the situation ,but at least Lynn fans know that he wouldn't sell there club when it finally comes to it.

I dont attend meetings now but as you say a club remains in your heart after the memories of many seasons that live with you forever, the value for money aspect did for me about 20 years ago , the GPs started the watering down team process and i never did attend a british GP even when one year i won some tickets from a national paper then gave them away ,i dont miss attending meetings it just becomes the norm in the long run and ive never been tempted to return ,

I'm just glad he didn't get his claws into Ipswich!

MPT back at Boro so Lawson to complete the side with Proctor and Jorgensen? Can’t see too many other options. 

Kerr, Jorgensen and Proctor are surely nailed on. If it Lawson then that looks a really weak side. Would be totally reliant on home form as couldn’t see that team picking up a point away. Is Adam Ellis a non-starter due to foreign commitments? I know he was replaced by Schlein at Poole.

Guess the aim of a top 6 finish isn’t all that bad :unsure::D

I could be wrong of course but I can’t think of anyone else who is available as a second heat leader and all the others must be coming back. Doesn’t look a particularly good team but one within a budget with loyal club men and a mix of local and British based riders.

It’s all very well having loyal club men , but I can’t see them winning any trophies.

If King's Lynn was Buster's only club with this line-up I think we'd look at it & just say it's an after Covid budget team, get fans back & just enjoy some racing in 2021.

The issue for me though is his other club. You look at the rider's their (although Dad's Army), the financial side of thing's really confuse me. The overheads of renting etc & being able to include Pedersen & Harris compared to ours I struggle to understand wtf is going on. 

Is Buster having any say at King's Lynn or is Dale just picking rider's he knows? 

The difference in overall quality of rider between both clubs is night & day. 

My worst thought crossing my mind right now is, is there a winding down process of the King's Lynn Stars?

I think you are pretty close with that assumption.

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.

Dale and buster couldn’t put a good team together if it hit them in the face both utterly useless!
