I agree with that . Will be interesting what happens between now and Monday at Belle Vue and Thursday next home meeting with Ipswich personally if think the club should say nothing and come out fighting for every point let on track action be there response . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 KL will see out the season imo however team changes will be imminent as a cost cutting measure because Buster clearly doesn't want or cant afford to run Speedway with the current side. Last year of King's Lynn though imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Cannot see anyone else really wanting to run the speedway at Lynn with the history of who they would be dealing with and the previous experience in mind that it seems has ended badly with Alex Brady. Wouldn't be surprised if in 2025 the Trackstar Stock Car promotion are not given more dates including some in midweek as Buster would make more money from the stadium's use for his pocket this way and with little or no hassle to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Companies House records are available it hardly presents a positive position (although you can generally only see the balance sheet not the profit and loss account). If clubs were more open about their finances it would take away much of the speculation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the narrative that they all lose money running them because “of their true love of the sport” then you also probably believe in the tooth fairy.

All I'm suggesting is that it is difficult to evidence it. However, balance sheets are an indicator of the health of a company. Ps what time does the tooth fairy come and how long before Santa's arrives? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should not be losing from 14 points in front We have around 7.30 points to replace Tofty. But who can we get?. Oxford are 5 points under the limit. Surly they will strengthen up, and have room for a double change.. Harris or Wright for MPT, or Harris and Wright for Tofty and NKI would do me. In reality, it will probably be Lewi for Tofty, which would still leave us around 2 points under. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewi won’t come back to Lynn unfortunately :’( he will be back in at Oxford for Craig Cook anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bridges were burned. As you say though I'd be amazed if he's not back at Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
