    Kings Lynn 2019

    Just to confirm doing rest of the season at Lynn. Can be at No. 7 until end of August. Bringing 3 bikes plus 4 engines plus Polish mechanic. (No GTR door stop - lol) had good season with Wilki Krosno. Last home meeting broke the track record there in 68.32secs 410m Poland’s longest track. Really looking forward to the rest of season at Lynn and to try to make playoffs. Been asked by a number of teams if he wishes to double up, but has refused all offers as wants to concentrate on Lynn. Hope this gives you info you wanted. See you 25th July
  2. Only about 5000zloty a point, but probably wouldn’t come to U.K. for even that amount. Also their Polish teams wouldn’t allow them to.

    Sorry you’re right. As the Danes call it the “piss stop island” when travelling Jutland to Copenhagen

    Re car park charge. I recall 2 years ago ago Buster telling me that the Council wanted to raise rent on the back straight car park to £30k per year (believe that was the figure) he was arguing with them re the rise. I don’t know but perhaps he manage to persuade them not to raise the rent back then, but now they have insisted on it. Hence why he now needs to charge £1 to park there. If that is the case then you can’t actually blame him for making a parking charge.

    Believe he’s gone to New Zealand for his daughters wedding
  8. No - Poole riders were just crap out of the gate. Were crap round the first bend, then the second, third and fourth for four laps. Just because opposition was dire doesn’t make the track a gate and go track. You could see it in their faces as they came off from track walk. “This track has got shale on it, not used to that, there are no holes in track, the starts are deep and we are f...k’d “ and yes they were so right.
  9. Was in pits with riders. Not gate and go, Poole riders didn’t like grippy track and only started getting points as track got slicker. If Middlo wasn’t up for it, then he sure should be up for next years Oscars. Poole frankly were woeful !
  10. Nicolai was complaining about baggage allowance this morning on his SAS flight from Birmingham. Assume flight isn’t to King’s Lynn

    Kings Lynn 2018..

    I know many of the King’s Lynn fans still have a soft spot for Nicklas Porsing. Very sadly on Thursday night, Nicklas’s fiancé gave birth to their little girl in her 8th month of pregnancy. Sadly her little heart was not strong enough to bring her into this life. Nicklas and Vitalina are totally devastated. However, their parents, myself and my wife were here in Poland to comfort them. Vitalina is now home and they are being very strong. This has been a terrible week for them, as earlier in the week we were mourning the death of Nicklas’s Stal Rzeszow team mate Tomasz Jedrzejak. Nicklas and Vitalina pray for their little girl and thank the many speedway fans from around the world who have sent their condolences and best wishes.
  12. Yes just a 4 day visit to U.K. Fancied his favourite Dinner at The Hare Arms so popped over as no Holsted meeting yesterday and next meeting is Sunday in Rzeszow
  13. No he didn’t and I was on track with him. He asked for shale, was told none available and Poole track man suggested old oil and Buster laughed and said “you must be f..king kidding”. I don’t recall you being on the track that evening. So fake news
  14. It is against the law to dispose of waste oil. All waste oil most be disposed of and handled in the correct manner laid down by the Environment Agency. Pouring on your garden, yard, field, race track is totally against the law even if you own or rent the land
  15. It’s history but for what it is worth. As it was Nicklas Porsing and myself who first walked the track at Poole that day and discovered a hole in the 1st bend at about 5pm. I would like to point out unbiased facts. We walked the track from pit gate anti clockwise until we got to bend 1, Nick toed the track as he had done throughout the walk. The track looked normal but as he toed it, the track gave way easily. More toeing of the track in that area and the track broke up to a gravel base. We reported this and other Lynn riders and Rob Lyon who had arrived came and looked at it. Poole management were informed. On Busters arrival he discussed how the track could be easily repaired with a tractor bucket full of shale, but was informed that there was no shale available. I remember someone from Poole suggested putting down old engine oil to bind the track in that area. But this idea was dismissed. From what I saw of the track we had no reason to think this was deliberate, just general poor track maintenance and astonishment that there was no spare shale available. We drove back to Norfolk and made 2 further trips to Poole in pouring rain, only to be told meeting was off on our arrival each time. Unfortunately when meeting did take place Nick was unable to ride due to a Polish team play off commitment. I think at this first meeting Poole did have a depleted team and Lynn were favourites. But I heard no mention within the Lynn team of any under hand tactics, just disappointment that the meeting couldn’t go ahead.
  16. Just seen video. Come on, Cook slid off whilst racing hard. It’s a bit of banter snowflakes.
  17. Club captain- plus check facts Missed one meeting so far, other than injuries. All riders having to miss a match, he went first, as winning too easily and club want to reduce wage bill. He has nothing against Peterborough. But as I told Carl you are Sunday track, plus he doesn’t wish to do U.K. anymore.
  18. Stal Rzeszow Sunday’s - was asked in October and said no thank you
  19. Yes I had called from manager on the track to say broken leg and hip. When Nicklas called from hospital he was surprised x-ray showed no breaks. He’s had a bloody painful week with skin looking like someone taken cheese grater to his left side
  20. Greg wouldn’t have raced at Bydgoszcz. Rzeszow knew this and were prepared if he couldn’t ride. Nicklas Porsing after his crash last week, opted not to ride today. But was there with his bikes and he or junior rider Rzasa would have ridden if Greg was unable to. Rzeszow won 29-61 so even without Greg or Nicklas it would have still been a big win to Stal.

    Poole 2018

    Where do people get these figures. £60k a meeting, no rider even gets close to that in Poland

    Poole 2018

    It’s all very well naming riders you think will fit in. One big problem, they don’t want to do U.K. Do the sums, 2x bikes, van, flights, mechanic, accommodation etc. At U.K. points pay need to average about 9 to break even.
