Don't think, from what I've heard he saw eye-to-eye with the rest of team, but he was good friends with those 2 they both went over to Australia and stayed within his family over the winter And all of a sudden certain riders are doing much better for the club since those 3 have departed . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeslakeJohn Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I sincerely hope we are in the Championship next year not the Premiership. There does appear to be a bit more rider loyalty there and riders are generally not at thee beck and call of Polish club team managers.

I think given the dwindling crowd levels we are much better suited to the championship, plus financial worries shouldn't be a concern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we have enjoyed seeing Artem over the past few weeks, I think I would agree. Edited June 20, 2023 by KingsLynnStarsFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 If Lynn drop down though and no club moves up there won't be a Championship though, as not enough teams to form the Prem (depending on what happens with Wolves and Peterborough).

TTT Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 If fans aren't turning up for Laguta and Premiership Speedway then they're not going to turn up for Championship Speedway imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you get crowds of 800-1000 in the championship that is far more sustainable than the prem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KL are the ones who gave Picko a job after Sheffield dumped him on a 7+ average. Anyway I don't even know why I am bothered! Not my team or even same league!

I disagree. Apart from the core, die hard supporters, the “floating” supporter unfortunately seems to care more about winning than seeing quality riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was more than 600 at the Wolves meeting….I would argue it, a steady 1000 generally.There was probably 600 there for the TV meeting though.

And they could ride on any night apart from Mon and Thur... Satruday night? Knock 3 quid off the admission and use (at least), a couple of Div 1 HL's... Got to be worth it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree BB. I sit in the grandstand (posh I know) and I counted at least 500 on bends 1, 2, 3 & 4 and the back straight against Wolves. Probably another 200 in the grandstand as well as another 250-350 in the home straight stand and general floaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
