IainB Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 44 minutes ago, Byker Biker said: Wrong!!!! Since he left British Speedway behind is more accurate, F all to do with Kings Lynn. At that time the SCB not the BSPA/L refused to let him ride a 500cc motorcycle so Robert et al upped sticks and effed off to Germany. Despite that Robert is fully committed and moreso once he has agreed to race for any club and this is all subject to his ongoing commitments. He gives his word and he keeps it so the diary has to work or he ain't doing a Laguta !!! Please don't speculate on someone/something that you do not fully understand, it really is time someone banged your speculative inconsiderate opinions where they belong. Wrong!!! 2018 30th 2019 15th Left King's Lynn 2021 10th 2022 5th 2023 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he bother to come back to us last year? He could’ve had the pick of any team in the playoffs on his false average, I’m sure they would’ve made changes to accommodate him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure, come back for a few meetings for a team that has no chance of making the play offs while concentrating on claiming a top 6 spot in the GP's and earning some serious coin in Poland? I honestly don't know, did he ever give his reasons for returning for 6 matches? Edited July 7 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedwayFan91 Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 Wonder what guests Lynn will get for Monday against Leicester… suppose it depends on whether we’re successful with the appeal or not, will we still get a full facility for Musie or will we have to use a guest that’s 75% of his average?… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alongside John Earrey (the greatest), Edwin Overland was a top speedway announcer and always splendidly biased against the Witches when we visited Compost Corner. RIP.

szkocjasid Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Why do I read so many comments saying "if the facility for Musielak isn't extended"? When he was first banned for 28 days for "withholding his services" it was stated that the facility would not be extended & he'd have to return or be replaced! That sounds pretty clear cut to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster normally throws a tantrum and threatens to take his ball home if he doesn't get what he wants (An extended facility for Tobi) and the higher ups normally cave in. Expect a U-Turn if KL don't get a permanent signing in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
