Buster was playing on the heartstrings last night how woeful the financial situation is at KL and we currently have 2 holes in our team. So, you guys with a "full" I use that word loosely 1-7 now have got no chance in making unnecessary signings Well up till last week attendances we’re holding up well at Peterborough, but the next home v Belle Vue will be a real tester as it’s on Eurosport. It could very well be two financial situations soon, but Panthers attendances will have to seriously drop to get to the dreadful level I have seen at Lynn 3 times this year.

The problem with Lynn is you're in a league against teams (towns/cities) with a much higher population who directly or indirectly have a much larger audience as a potential fan base. Belle Vue (Manchester) - 552k / urban 2.7m Ipswich - 133k / urban 639k King's Lynn - 47k / West Norfolk 153k Leicester - 368k / metro 836k Peterborough - 220k / no information available for urban/metro Wolves (Wolverhampton) - 263k / Birmingham metro 4.3m Just makes sense that crowd levels are significantly lower than other teams competing in the league. We have a population similar to teams in the championship, so realistically based on crowd numbers that should be our level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your riders were passed last lap a few times but you didn’t make it easy for us. that was an exceptional debut from Tarasenko. regarding Hans, as a kid growing up Hans was one of the top guys. In my all time top 5 riders. Loved him when I was a teenager, idolised him really, even 7 years ago when NSS opened hans was always a Thorn in our side and scored well but to see him how he was last night was heartbreaking, gut wrenching, embarrassing. For me he was the last of my childhood heroes dieing. End of an era. I think Hans has never fully recovered from that awful crash at NSS in the play-offs. He should have retired then, as a crash like that with the head taking all of it must take a couple of years to get over. I'm no doctor, but was told this by an ex-rider who had the same problems. He has been a fantastic servant to all his clubs and it is not easy to see him riding like he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to be slowing down a little this season, but still... If the Diamonds still existed and we signed him I would be absolutely delighted, even when he's not scoring points he's entertainment all in one. I'm not sure however how much further he's going to progress in the sport, with his riding style and slowing a little this year (although that could just be because he''s in an awful team environment?) Basso is phenomenal at Glasgow, not a gater but exciting when he still manages to make some majestic manoeuvres to get to the front, earning cult status at Glasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an organic natural place in the grand order of things.. So dont try and be something you are not... Promoter Egos are a significant part of UK Speedways problems I would suggest... I would think that Poole and Glasgow could compete with BV, Wolves, Sheffield, Leicester, Ipswich, and maybe Peterborough, crowd level wise.. For the rest, go Championship (8 teams), and the rest go NDL... The biggest pond is hardly an ocean so be a big fish in the one your crowds suggest you need to be in.. Amazes me why those who constantly struggle to compete, try and remain at a level they clearly are not at... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basso looked decent enough on the twitter video riding for Glasgow vs Edinburgh last week. Scoring 33333 - 15pt max. Although he does seems to struggle at the NSS.

Track staff are told not to touch the bikes due to health and safety. In saying that I’ve helped take a bike back to the pits with another track member using a rack thru the wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
