It boils down as to whether the club sees it an investment to make. Obviously, if anyone is going to be out of pocket it's going to be the club. But then as the old tale goes you've got to spend money to make money. Look at Ipswich for example, Jason and Emil. Just them 2 for example certainly draws in bigger crowds and that buy in allows the club to further invest and the circle keeps going round.

Douglas1979 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 The whole place seams flat at the moment. Perhaps a big sponsor is what's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's not like Alex Brady hasn't put in a sizeable investment into the club and I'm sure these MacInnes boys have thrown some money into the coffers too. It's just that the money has been directed in the wrong place. If this is the standard we now have to become accustomed too, then the Premiership isn't the league for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 For me as soon as Pickering got injured Lynn should have signed Craig Cook on a 28 day contract, then when Josh was for again, they'd have 7 riders for 6 places, drop the weakest & that's your new team?

He's letting his team mates down with his attitude, as well as the fans.. No one wants a rider who gives up / can't be bothered. We have had plenty of them in the past. I've not seen KK so can't comment on his attitude when racing & 2.40 away from home is awful for a rider of his ability, however it's home matches that pay the bills, so if he's gonna help you win at home, keep him & hope he improves away.

Indeed. Jeremy Doncaster said in an interview recently that he only ever had three speedway bikes in total at any one time but successfully rode in GB, Poland and Italy/Germany without issue. Of course they'll say they need this and that in the hope it is funded for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have been surprised by inconsistency or giving up at the back, but not giving 100% when there are riders around him very much has. I’m not at all. Whenever I’ve seen him racing abroad (and his last terrible stint in the GP’s) he was doing it loads when in traffic. certainly not a new phenomenon from what I’ve seen from him.
