kelvinht 351 Posted December 28, 2018 Assume kl go on Monday to allow Ipswich / Peterborough to use Thursday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted December 28, 2018 Maybe it’s Lynn who are going to be on TV every week Is Buster taking on track prep at either Ipswich or Peterborough ? Sounds like with Lynn going Monday’s he is going to be keeping a more than watchful eye on at least one of the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar problem last year and we didn't fare so badly did we? There is an old saying 'You reap what you sow' and because of that, as you say, there is so much negatively. Last year wasn't that good, it could have been much better but we messed up when it mattered . To me coming second isn't something to be over joyed about. Since then we have had little to be excited about, all the other teams have been proactive in assembling decent teams, all we have to be positive about is the acquisition of Top Man, Robert Lambert. Making an announcement in the S/S and the EDP before enlightening their own fans, to me speaks volumes, It sure illustrated how little importance the Stars management regard their own supporters. Name another club that has done that...….. As of yet, I have seen very little, for me to be positive ...… Remember the saying..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Byker Biker 468 Posted December 28, 2018 Hi G13webb, it's Robin Brucking Fundle here - just thought I'd give you a call to let you know the team. You're right we don't need the EDP or Speedway Star to attract new customers or inform those who aren't on Social Media we'll just let you know then you can do all the hard work for us. You'll probably find the EDP won't support us anymore unless you can give them an edge, do let me know how you get on spreading the news and for all those people who rely on the EDP and SS for information, well they can go duck themselves with an attitude like some have on here (attacking the post not the poster - allegedly!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So from starting the season as a lot of people thought we would struggle, we came from bottom of the league, only to finish top by 6 points I think? How could of it "been so much better"? and "we messed up when it mattered" We exceeded all expectations and was hit with injuries to a reserve in form and NKI at the last minute. Someone's glass isn't even half empty, it's got a hole in the bottom... Happy New year Edited December 28, 2018 by Bald Bloke 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haza 1,766 Posted December 28, 2018 Well you lot are so negative with your glass half full no wonder speedway in in such a mess - the sport can definitely do without this kind of support though wait there is no fans left .And oh yes we only want the ones that can spell proper like lol lol lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Connor 351 Posted December 28, 2018 Always comes back to the negative few with nothing better to do! The signing of rob is great news. It’s a good start. A few of the negative guys last year at this time were suggesting he would have to move on to improve . . . Niels is the most important link to this team now. A team with them as our spearhead gives me confidence in the big heats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy New year I don't think webbo was meaning the results as such, more the quality of racing, general entertainment and presentation wasn't that good. The club did mess up at the end with the insistence of using Ellis which backfired spectacularly. Edited December 28, 2018 by Daniel Smith 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your team topped the table for the first time ever?? Was unlucky in the play offs due to late injuries. Lynn's best season in the top flight for 50 years.. How many meetings did yo attend at the AFA in 2018? How much better than 2018 do they have to be in 2019 for you to pay to watch them .. Your choice how you spend your money and we are all have an opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
