I know that but did that mean they would've been? As I said, they haven't said who was unavailable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too but I well remember how fast Eastbourne went beneath the waves. If Buster is not going to run next year, why continue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than shut it down now. Yes I can see that but people are quick to blame Chapman and he definitely has major faults but the really Brady especially had put the club in the position it’s now in just to walk away and expect Chapman to pick up everything is a total joke - Brady and his actions could well spell the end of the club . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Rightly or wrongly I suspect there is some leeway being given here because Buster is playing a hand he wasn't dealt at a table he wasn't supposed to be playing at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right - Chapman has major faults but this team wasn’t his choice the signing of Laguta wasn’t his signing it was Brady’s and sign him then walk away almost straight away. Whatever the personal reasons was/are he should have seen the season out the stood down . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 this is all becoming noise really. it’s time to get british speedway on a sustainable footing. live speedway is a heritage of this country and needs to be preserved, in whatever format it can survive in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a definition of competitive/non competitive nor can one be practically written, what's the cut off point? Especially when teams have been fined for fielding under-strength teams but have still won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, Premiership would be a 4TT. Is there any appetite from Poole, Glasgow to move up? What happens if they say, no thanks? Run the Championship at a really low limit 35/36? To encourage them to step up. Champ clubs run with 2 heat leaders, 2 second strings & 3 NL riders? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in this case ( i said this case) some people might of understood what he was up against since Alex went. And maybe some might ( i said might) of felt just a teny weeny bit sympathetic to this situation. Agree, but his previous makes it hard to feel sorry for him. Lies catch up with people in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This slagging off of King's Lynn, or should I say Keith Chapman, doesn't do the club any good, if someone is prepared to buy the club from him. Potential sponsors that a new promotion would require, would have been reading all this old clap trap, and become uninterested, and don't think companies don't look at these sites if they are wanting to sponsorship out there, because they do. Okay, I've opened the door so you can start slagging me off, which will just confirm what I've said about sponsors. Think we can all guess the situation at Kings Lynn Mimmo. They are losing money every week . The current owner doesn't want to run speedway and wants to sell the club. Surprise surprise no one wants to buy it. Seems to me the damage to the club has already been done - crowds at Lynn have plummeted ..... "slagging off" the owner will not make a jot of difference. Sad really as I have sent many happy times at Saddlebow Road in the past, and they were a great club. Like so many others in British Speedway over the past decade can see them folding at the end of this season Insert other media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Main problem is trying to run a sport totally reliant on a guest system then schedule ,6 of the 7 teams to ride on the same night. Guess what there's no guests available. Who'd have thought eh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 I recently had my roof done by a company where the owner had taken a back seat and he employed another chap to do the work. I was left with a big hole in my roof with rain peeing in night after night. I will continue to use this company and fully support them as it wouldn’t be fair to do otherwise. The dodgy roofer he employed has since left. The roof was to be fixed on Thursday but he’s rang to say that day is off. I’m not bothered as it’s not his fault and he wants as much money as he can get for his retirement which is fair enough. The house is a really mess with all the rain but the don’t blame anyone, I’m just happy to have a roofer. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling off a match because you can't find a "strong" guest just opens up a can of worms now doesn't it? Nail on the head well and truly hit - but because they treat everybody like absolute imbeciles, they’ll keep it secret that Laguta wasn’t supposed to be there. He hasn’t been all that arsed about a lot of matches so there is no hope in hell he’s going to be turning up in the middle of the Polish play offs. I’ve just read the Kings Lynn Facebook page and there is several people suggesting that ‘slagging’ Buster off does plenty of harm to the club. Unfortunately these comments ‘slagging’ him off are all justified but his actions and half arsed decisions taken. People aren’t just running him and Kings Lynn for cheap thrills. He’s destroying the club but still looks to blame everybody but himself. The press release on the Kings Lynn page doesn’t even quote anybody from Kings Lynn and just quotes Phil Morris FFS Edited August 16, 2023 by Najjer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
