You never mentioned anything about a competitive team, all you said, apart from calling most of us 'Doom Mongers' was 'We know there will be 7 riders come April that's all that matters really imo.' And i never mentioned about not giving a hoot who the riders are.I'm sure most will agree that 99% of us who attend want to see a competetive team,nobody wants to see their team fail do they?.Only maybe Daniel Smith as he has quoted that before because of his dislike towards Buster. And i didn't call most of you doom mongers.I said the only ones who seem worried about the naming of riders are the doom mongers on here.That's not most only the ones who applySo you have really implied most are doom mongers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely your worst fear is having nobody to stand next to... that in itself is becoming more of a challenge at meetings. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive Ward 181 Posted February 16, 2019 No definitely not there’s plenty of people where I stand AND they all support the team 100% 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, it could be strongly argued the absolute worst fans are those who stand around happy clapping instead of voicing their displeasure at the decline in fortunes of the club/sport they claim to love so much. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted February 16, 2019 I still support the Stars and look for their results and want to gather up all the news that I can about them. I am a member of the Supporters Club ( and will re-join for 2019 ) I attend some of the matches and cheer them on but I do not like the way the club has been run over the last five years. Especially since Buster became The Main Man at the BSPA . His interest in what the broad spectrum of Star's fans think seems to have withered away ( unless you see things only through Buster coloured glasses ). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course they are interested, the difference being they know their team line ups and are not as frustrated as the poor Lynn fans. They are being treated like mug punters in my book... 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted February 17, 2019 If Lambert has no real back up at Lynn I do wonder how much emphasis he will have with regard to Lynn? Robert comes across as a born winner. He has plenty going on in other Countries and if Lynn are struggling at the wrong end of the table will he be as fired up as he would be if they are up there challenging. It does seem there is an awful lot resting on one pair of shoulders. Still the law of averages says Buster has to have at least one team making the play-offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I admire your optimism, but I feel a little bit more realistic. Probably they didn't always see eye to eye, but they sure as hell respected each other. As been implied, because of injuries Niels wasn't firing on all cylinders last year, but he was always an able partner in heats 13 and 15... You'll be amazed on how many 5-1's we benefitted from that pairing when the matches were coming to that crucial stage... Like the majority of posters, I believe the remaining riders are as expected.. ( Kerr, Riss and AJ) but inside I hope we have instead, a reliable 2nd heat leader, one that is comparable to the other teams Failing that, we will have a one man team, and be totally reliant on Lambert. That cant be good thinking ...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That cant be good thinking ...... I too would like to see a decent 2nd heatleader.I'm hoping Riss will make that step up.He seems professional and determined and is always upset when he don't score well. I agree we did well in hts 13 and 15 but had NKI had done it in his easier rides we wouldn't have needed that.This is not knocking NKI but maybe he should have sat last season out regarding his injury.Many people lambasted Holder the season before for dropping his average the same. I would like to see NKI back because of his low average,having said that you will have to then look at a lesser rider than one of the other 3 to whoever you replace.
