Going to Norwich as a youngster was encapsulating and felt like you belong to something special. When speedway started at Saddlebow Road that feeling was the same, It is only in recent years has that original perception has changed. I went through a period when I felt more like a customer than a fan because of the way the fans were being treated. Now I feel more like a Mug, being taken for a ride. Probably that's the reason so many have stop going nowadays... No, it is not the sport I've fallen out of love with , its the Kings Lynn Club that has lost my support, for the way they distance themselves from us, thinking we don't have an opinion nor the right to question the way we are being treated.... I go to Speedway now for my own enjoyment, to see close exciting racing. Win or lose, it doesn't bother me. It was the club, that has taken that membership away... 20 minutes ago, g13webb said: What a petty statement that is , Do you really think you have to pay admission before you are entitled to an opinion ?? How sad !! As much as I respect the work you do for the supporter club, sometimes you talk such utter rubbish. It takes less time to make an announcement than it took you to write this post. When there is unrest with the fans , someone in the know could put their minds at rest with one small message. We don't need to know every last detail, but we deserve to know the real situation, instead of the rumours that were flying around.. As for acting like the poles, this is a two way thing, Over there, they are appreciated, they are kept in the picture, and are not ripped off. Probably if we were treated similar then probably we would act the same way. Fans, Customers, Mugs, that's the feelings I have on the way us speedway supporters have been treated through the years.

For once I do not need to add anything at all as your post is EXACTLY how I feel. Other than, sadly - the much vaunted "New Era" came to nothing. KLS seems determined to bring about it's own demise. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, only Wolves and BV not riding tonight in the PL so guests may be hard to come by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 16, 2018 Does Buster still have Rory as an ssset ? If so this really cops the p155. No number one for Lynn but ya own asset rides at number one for the opposition. Normally it’s the away side arrive depleted as the Home promotor has a ‘duty, to the home support to put out the strongest team possible to ensure a home victory. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Where has Schlein ever stated that? Why wouldn’t Rory want to take money off of Buster. I would suggest that Rory went to the highest bidder for tonight. Now we all know that wouldn’t be short arms and deep pockets, don’t we ? Buster is the pass master of peeling an orange in his pocket with boxing gloves on.

semion 2,192 Posted May 16, 2018 Most promoters would be prepared to pay through the nose to compensate the Home fans for his own short coming ( Team full of Danes, Home meets on Danish League night). Not our Buster. He regularly shows the Lynn fans what he thinks of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory hasn’t stated that - but as far as I’m aware the club and Rory hasn’t spoken since the night of the big fall out over the state of the track . The club will never ask him to ride for the Stars while Buster is at the club . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It won't be long before we are promised all sorts of changes in how things are run at KLS if we show how much we want speedway at Saddlebow Rd. I think a lot of people do, but not under Buster, who seems to have learnt very little and surrounded himself with yes persons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 16, 2018 IF that’s is the case why would Buster hold on to Rory as an asset and not off loading to the highest bidder. Buster is always a shrewd one where the pennies are concerned. So to keep a rider in his 30s that you will never ever use again makes no sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
