WembleyLion Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Ipswich had a weakened team last week with Rew on international duty and Dan Thompson injured in heat 2 meaning they had a number of races with only one rider. Had that been KL tomorrow would they have tried to abandon the meeting or can you only play the injured rider(s) card a day or two beforehand?

But Thompson started the meeting, that is the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor crowds at both venues that night. Peterborough have 3 home meetings in the space of 7 days from 31st August to September 7th so there crowds most likely will take a hit during all that period , now add in a Lynn home meeting on the 4th Sept its going to be an expensive 7 days for Buster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one league at Championship level with team formats/structure to suit As has been proven on a number of times, there is not enough riders for that to happen.

If laguta was going to be missing I could understand missing your top two would be very difficult to cover. But kings lynn haven’t actually said who apart from the obvious absentees would be missing. a little transparency would stop a lot of bad feeling. Many Ipswich fans attended two weeks ago. I wonder how many will not attend the restaging in protest. Every KL and Ipswich fan should stay away and treat the half-wit Chapman with same the contempt that he has treated loyal speedway fans over some considerable time. As I have said before the deceitful shallow man deserves nothing from fans only derision. Take note Mr Chapman, what goes around come’s around!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therefused Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 6 man teams with a junior at reserve? Wouldnt say no to some sort of four team tournament league either with 5 man teams with a named reserve that has to take at least two/three rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Buster should just merge KL and Peterborough as one team next season, Home attendances would be good as you'll get all of the loyal KL fans as well as the loyal Panthers fans turning up every week.
