    From the man who made stupid comments to someone months ago and when an insult was "thrown back" at him, got the bloke banned and whined for days about it. Maybe when someone asks a civil question, give your honest answer and just leave it as that. No need to insult someone for asking a question.

    Poor old Fred..... i do feel sorry for people like you who have nothing nice to say.... its a bit sad really to be so bitter and twisted towards anyone who doesn't agree with your single minded opinion

    I believe i am only discussing a difference of opinion,not rubbishing anyone.That's my opinion anyway. Happy New Year to you too. Lets hope there are further improvements at King's Lynn speedway and speedway as a whole and we can then agree on a few more things in the new season. Happy new year to all speedway fans,yes even Shovlar.Let the rivalry begin again in a few months

    And Bruce Penhall didn't win the 1985 world final, Erik Gunderson did. And Penhall's Wembley World final win wasn't 48 years after Jack Milne won. It was 44 years. Milne won in 1937 not 1933. As I remember it, the 1970 Wembley promoter was Trevor Redmond, not Trevor Readman. And I'm guessing "Brain" Leonard may have been the more intelligent brother of a chap called Brian. Very poor and outdated website riddled with errors.

    Front page and page 3 of the New Year's Day local Echo, stressing its a personal view and nothing to do with his company?!. Towards the end of the 'story' (slow news day!!) its mentioned about his company being a Pirates' sponsor. Attempts made to contact MF for comment but unable to.!

    But that really has nothing to do with a historical article that has got things totally wrong.Shame that the site has numerous mistakes throughout

    As do you !! Putting a couple of emojis at the end of a sarcastic reply doesn't disguise its intentions. I had given up ever having a discussion with you because of your continue disrespect for anyone who voices opinions against the Stars. It becomes a pointless exercise when you only see in one direction. All your feelings towards the Kings Lynn Stars I have felt them all. Once upon a time they were more important to me than the Lord himself. My life was governed by the exploits of this same club. During this time, I travelled to every venue in the league and never missed a single match for more years than I care to remember. As years started to add up , the family was getting older, I realised there was more to life and reduced the amount of time and money the sport then occupied . Instead of having my head in the clouds I began to see the sport for what it was , and I enjoyed this more believable existence. The pure ingrediencies of this sport is watching 4 riders on fast machine with no brakes, competing for glory. Witnessing Robert Lambert defying the laws of balance has become an immense pleasure. So I find it insulting, for posters such as yourself, to ridicule my views. In those 54 years of following the Stars , I have seen the Good, the Bad and the Ugly many times. but the one thing I find hard to accept is the continue contempt shown to the fans. We should be the bread and butter of every club, but nobody appear to understand that... Hence, the reasons why I feel the way I do..

    Dude, totally agree.....I know it's a cliche, but happiness (in Speedway) really is a 40-38 (I know that's old talk, but you get my drift)....... bring on that team at The Showground.....

    Ive given up trying to 2nd guess what the £$@€ is going on!! Im at the point of just waiting to see what happens and making little comment The next week or so could see some more info. Originally it was indicated to expect the next 2 announcements early in new year with completion not too long after Hopefully that will happen rather than having to wait til March......

    We have been purchased simply to keep the number of clubs up so the premiership didn’t collapse. If it had collapsed the financial implications from the bt deal would be severe. Its cheaperto use Ipswich as a sacrifice to keep the league running for a further year before it implodes again. Peterborough are not working to the same budget as Ipswich.

    The idea of the showing the draw was a good one, however the unprofessional approach has ruined it. It is slightly concerning that Jason Pipe believed that it was acceptable for the product they are trying to produce. It may be a step in the right direction but it was a seriously poor attempt at something which should be not difficult to produce.

    I think people have to bear in mind thst the principle was spot on and that even though sat in Jason’s kitchen looked unprofessional, the idea was there. Other years we’ve seen a NLKOC ‘draw’ where all teams local to each other have raced each other whereas now we know it’s totally transparent. Just the presentation needs sprucing up. But even the big sports get it wrong! Look at the football Carabao/League Cup draw where teams were drawn the wrong way round and teams drawn twice!

    Why is a question a stupid comment? Can't hold a civilised debate can you? Would you like it in words of 2 syllables or less so you understand it? Grade A moron, go straight to the top of the class. Jeez, even Floyd could actually give reasons in his comments, not just spit the dummy because of a perfectly legitimate question asked.

    Yeah it was a bit amateurish and a bit cheap, BUT it was a genuine draw and we had full disclosure. A big step in the right direction. If the BSPA are going to do similar things more often, hopefully they find fit to start unblocking the many people they have blocked over the years many if not most simply for asking a question. Myself, I got blocked after they denied saying there was ever a live feed planned for the u19s. I screenshotted their tweet from 2 weeks earlier as a reply and got myself blocked lol.

    Completely agree though sometimes the clubs that do that are their own worst enemies. As soon as BMR took over at Rye when Len Silver was more or less hounded out by the supporters. I was castigated at the time for being unhappy. But why on earth would a club like Rye House move out of the division where they had a reasonable amount of success to a league offering fewer meetings and moving from a weekend race night to midweek. Yes they were lured there by TV exposure for their brand but completely disregarded their fans base and the negativity shown over Wednesday night racing. The demise of Rye House was down to the Owners guiding the club not the BSPA

    Very interested to hear from a fan who actually knows something about Robert Ledwith. I know little about him so I found your comments interesting. Lots of criticism has been expounded because he is in his 40's ( I have NO problem with that) and now I know a little about what sort of rider he is/was, I am keen to see him in action.

    The truth is that NOBODY on here knows. We don’t know to what extent their business relation is. The deal with Peterborough could be totally different from the deal he has with Ipswich. We know Louis has insisted on certain clauses and has a buy back option, we haven’t heard of anything similar with Peterborough. One Lynn fan told us on here not to expect any rider announcements this side of Christmas, it’s the Buster way. And yet Peterborough have just announced two and we’re looking to reveal the full 7 before Christmas! Nobody knows exactly what details are involved with this so called “commercial” deal.
