tellboy Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Statement on the Lynn website KEITH Chapman has moved to clarify his position as owner of both King’s Lynn and Peterborough Speedway amidst rumours of rider movement at various Sports Insure Premiership clubs.Chapman retains his promoter’s licence at King’s Lynn but has confirmed the day-to-day running of the club, and financial affairs, are in the hands of others.He is also the owner of Peterborough where work continues to fill the position vacated by Nicki Pedersen who left the club after one meeting.Chapman said: “I’ve been reading plenty of comments over recent days and I think it’s important to lay out clearly what the situation is.“I no longer have any financial involvement in King’s Lynn Speedway, and whilst I still hold a promoter’s licence there, this will be my last season in that role and I’ve made that clear to everyone.“All of the financial and team matters at King’s Lynn are taken on by Alex Brady and Dale Allitt, although obviously I still have responsibility for the stadium.“I do still own the club, it hasn’t been sold yet, but the funding is not coming from me this year.“At Peterborough everyone knows the problems we have faced, and it was me who did the deal with Nicki Pedersen to race at No.1, which unfortunately went wrong after one race.“Since then we’ve been looking for a replacement, and trying to book the best guests we can under the circumstances.“It hasn’t always worked but we had Max Fricke lined up for a meeting that was rained off, and I paid for Dan Bewley to guest on Monday in a meeting against King’s Lynn, so there’s no question of me making decisions to favour one club over the other.“The team and financial decisions at King’s Lynn are completely separate from me now, and of course I still desperately want Peterborough to survive beyond this season.“I just want to make it totally clear that the two clubs are not being run by the same person with one being prioritised over the other.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 I wouldn't be in a rush to replace KK. I know he's been awful away, but at home he's got a 10+ average. Winning at home must be priority to keep the fans happy surely? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Someone else must be funding this deal for Artem because it doesn’t add up with the usual candidates backing the club, nevertheless a great signing for the league! Still the only rider in the world who could keep with Bartosz over the course of a GP season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Just looked at the league table, only 7pts behind Belle Vue with 2 matches in hand. Get the changes right, top 4 wouldn't be impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get behind Alex and the boys now and see where we end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Well looks like you won’t be seeing Kasperzak just going through the motions again in Stars kevlars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) The annoying thing is he's actually been our best rider at home this season. When he's good, he's very good. When he's not, well let's just leave it there..... Edited May 25, 2023 by Speedball 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thinks it's clear that to be able to bring in Laguta we'd have to remove our most expensive rider & that clearly would be Kasprzak. The concern would be, as it's an 'unprepared' change, what standard would Laguta's initial equipment be like. Borrowed, 2nd hand or brand new.

TheSmiler Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 To be honest, I’d persevere with Klindt if it means Laguta at 1, he may fare a little better away from #1. although based on KK’s sudden illness I think it’s fair to say he is the one making way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
