Another 6 weeks 7 at a push allowing for rain offs and or others reasons for call offs the season will be over for Kings Lynn so little point in any changes now - hopefully now potential new promoter is already in contact with Buster and hopefully talks are already taking place regarding 2024 season as can anyone really see Buster carrying on running the speedway at KL beyond the end of August 2023 .

Totally agree - he had his family before this season started and should have definitely finished the season then stepped down - in reality he’s walked away leaving Buster to pick the carnage up and could ultimately spell the end of the club . Sadly Brady could be remembered for one thing .

I’d not worry about next season just yet it’s only July there is plenty of racing still to come this season - next season who knows but for some clubs just enjoy what’s left of this season as it could be some clubs last

Well I’ve looked on Twitter and from what I can see on Chris Louis Twitter page Chris definitely did not say what your quoting in fact he defended Buster .

And if not an issue why cancel Mondays meeting ?

Two meetings in 3 days for Busters clubs in a perfect storm sadly for disaster 14 riders to pay twice poor crowd at both clubs . Unless there is a sponsor who perhaps could sponsor both meetings that is going to be a difficult 3 days for both clubs .

And that’s why Stars v Panthers is off on Monday he’s 14 riders to pay and the numbers don’t add up financially it be suicide to run it - on attendees alone so seeking financial help .

As things stand I’d say Pboro worth vertically nothing - with two months of the season left no certainty over availability of the Showground for 2024 or even a league to race in how things are developing at other clubs if I was Buster I’d take whatever I could get cus the value of the club goes down every day

Without doubt Brady had serious personal reasons for walking away but he’s left the club in an almighty mess and can’t walk and take no responsibility for the aftermath. Peterborough fans was promised the world by a potential new owner who didn’t or hasn’t yet bought the club- then Carl Johnson walks away just as Brady has at Lynn there is two common denominators at both clubs . As for Mondays Stars v Panthers being cancelled doesn’t take much to figure out Buster 14 riders to pay instead of 7 with poor crowds and Laguta to pay I’d guess it be financial suicide to run without extra backing .

I agree with your sentiment 100% but you’d not go in a restaurant every week if the food wasn’t good just cus you don’t want the restaurant to close - winning team isn’t the be all and end all for many all we want is good close racing feeling like you been entertained value for money ( certainly not worth £22 ) and for me not being taken for granted that you’ll turn up each week with 0% effort from the promotion to make fans feel valued. I certainly don’t want any club to close least of all Kings Lynn .

I actually agree with you Brady had totally s###t on Lynn he might well have serious personal reasons to quit but his actions could well have single handedly finished the club .

It’s all about completion of fixtures get to the end of next month then that’s it until 2024 - and up to those on show to show how keen they are to return next season. for me last night only Simon Lambert and TJ showed that commitment . Forget Laguta he won’t be back . Not finishing bottom of the league should be achievable only because Pboro have a worse team than KL - but doesn’t look good when the bottom two clubs are owned by the same person .

We shouldn’t be under no illusion it’s all about money he doesn’t care about Kings Lynn - as I say I only caught a glimpse of his pit on tv - someone at the meeting might confirm this either way .

I thought after Laguta last ride shortly after the camera panned round and Laguta pit was empty. I might be wrong though

What was the point in putting Klindt in heat 15 ? well done Simon Lambert great performance .

Just noticed this meeting is on being streamed on British Speedway Network bet Buster doing a rain dance or pit gate malfunction

Another poor line up against a very strong Sheffield side so sadly I’d expect another poor crowd - think it’s all about competing fixtures and get to the end of August that be it till March 2024 hopefully

I think you are correct- why else would you take a great sport in the 70-80and 90s and basically run it into the ground and year on year weaken the product to cut costs rather than trying to sort out why crowds have dwindled and actually promoting the sport -the saying it’s not over till the fat lady sings well she’s warming up ready to start singing .

That makes terrible reading - and if you take the two guests scores of the total as well Morris 11 and Harris 1 leaves just 13 point scored by Kings Lynn contracted riders which quite honestly is absolutely terrible not even a point a race . Sooner the season ends for Kings Lynn the better it’s just going through the motions of completing the fixtures .Can even see Pboro finishing ahead of us on this form

That’s debatable to be honest - least we have a track for 2024 at the moment - that said I hope Pboro are still running in 2024 - but I do agree both clubs are in a mess

For me it’s not that Laguta isn’t riding tonight it’s total disrespect by Chapman to paying public - think he must think fans don’t watch Polish league . Just be open and transparent and K L fans might be sympathetic. It’s the disrespect to fans especially his own clubs fans that annoys me . Though how much of this shambles is of Brady making jump ship and leave Buster to pick the pieces up but that doesn’t stop the club from being totally honest to fans

Can’t disagree there - the bit got me and still gets me is they think the paying customers are idiots and the taken for granted bit as well they think oh the fans will turn up what ever we do .

Surprised it’s taken this long for your enthusiasm to be at zero - mine been there since that ill-fated night Holder and Batch gate night .I was done after that night and if anything the sport has become an even bigger farce since that night .

With Buster now running two clubs and saying Lynn was/are over budget I’d say the chances of signing Tungate are greatly diminished unless of course your main sponsor finances it .

And easy to moan and groan about Buster but without him Kings Lynn speedway would have closed the day Brady walked out .
