stevehone 3,419 Posted December 7, 2017 The fact Buster said he wouldn't be making any announcements till after Christmas tells me he's hanging around till all other teams have their squads, hoping to sign riders that don't have a place, on the cheap. why? he might be pretty much sorted now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) 2 New riders to KL. Buster is pushing the boat out isn't he. Best of luck to Bjarne Pedersen at King's Lynn How does the saying go..., something like..... It's best to keep your gob shut and let people think you a knobhead than open it and remove all doubt.

Clive Ward 181 Posted December 7, 2017 Rose Lambert Jorgenson Auty Palm Toft Is my go at the 5 returning. What would that leave, points wise for the 2 incoming ? About 14.5 to 14.7 I think.About 14.5 to 14.7 I think.No miss calculation would be about 12.8 ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted December 7, 2017 Think Hans Andersen is one of the new boys. I'd be happy with that if NKI cant return. one could be NKI and the other Kerr. If it is I would be more than happy with that. Kerr did say he was offered a spot at Lynn for 2018 about 10 days ago,but was asking for help with new equipment.He had a fundraising page set up,but I think it's gone now ?The mind boggles.

While Hans isn’t going to set the world alight he would be a pretty solid performer and it would also allow a place in the team for Lewis. Does mean that TJ would be our third heat leader when I was hoping he would fit into the team as our best second string. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted December 7, 2017 why? he might be pretty much sorted now Nothing Buster does will surprise me. Sometimes his ideas deny all logic or reasoning. But please tell me the advantage gained from with-holding information from the fans. These past 2 years the Stars fans have been treated like Mushrooms. I would've thought Buster would have moved heaven and earth to repair the damage he has done, but it appears he hasn't learnt a thing. Most of the clubs are drip feeding information to their supporters, helping to generate some interest during these winter months, But not Buster, He hasn't the decency to announce when one of our few assets, has agreed terms to ride somewhere else. Me, I'm past caring. I've seen so much contempt for the fans, these past few years, I'm not yet convinced whether I'll go or stay away...... NB The sad part about all this, is if they can make a fan of 50+ yrs, feel this way, what chance do they have of appealing to new supporters...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted December 7, 2017 I fail to see why Lynn would tell their fans that a rider has signed for another club. It's not as if Danny King rode for Lynn last season. All it would achieve is negative feedback along the lines of why isn't he riding for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All it would achieve is negative feedback along the lines of why isn't he riding for us. I for one am thinking why isnt Danny King in the team hed do a solid job in 3rd heatleader position not sure if its negative or not but why wouldnt we use our asset ? can only guess hes been offered a better deal elsewhere or hes not wanting to ride form a club where the no1 priority is to be a yes man. So good luck to him after the shambles of last season who can blame him not being at Lynn . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NB The sad part about all this, is if they can make a fan of 50+ yrs, feel this way, what chance do they have of appealing to new supporters...... Maybe this Polish rule news that many await could have a BIG bearing on the team he wants to put out. Most know that if the Poles relent then chances are NKI will be the first name on the sheet (besides TJ). But Nils is a 9 point plus man which could in effect have a big bearing on the rest of the side where if the Poles don't relax the rules he may have to go in a different direction with perhaps a more strength in depth look. Its frustrating for all you KL fans I do appreciate that, but for the wait if you could have NKI as your number one then I think all KL fans would be more than happy to wait I think. God knows why the Poles are taking so long considering they are normally red hot at sorting out their league matters quickly. I hope they are not being ignorant to the fact that a number of clubs in UK want to know the outcome of this rule for 2018. Its hardly rocket science to say yes its cancelled or no we will keep it in place in which case all the clubs can move on. We all know Nils wants to ride UK and for sure KL is his home club, also being based in UK more locally than most other Prem sides. Even not as a KL supporter I hope you get NKI and can also build a decent side around him and TJ for 2018, as nobody wants to see KL 2017 all over again after last year. True Speedway supporters want all clubs to have decent riders in all teams. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple answer - almost no chance at all! I am one of the 50 + years a fan too and am finely balanced between Go or Stay. Why would someone who has no previous knowledge of speedway - give it try? A possible crossover exists with the stock car promotion. It's all so much a repeat of fine words ( that guff in the Lynn News ) but no substance. Bringing in Doyle and retaining Robert Lambert would please existing fans ( inc. me ) but who outside of the sport has heard of JD or that he is a very worthwhile World Champion? This time last year KLS were boasting of acquiring the services of Holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
