If it's marvellous it'll be more to do with stadium, crowds, atmosphere and the quality of the riders on show but you probably think Kings Lynn has that all anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans need to be kept up date and not given the mushroom effect. That’s how kings lynn did it last season. 1 announcement a week pretty much. You guys are top league on a budget. You will have a competitive team but I don’t see any expensive signings. I see a team with strength in depth with riders the big spenders overlook. That’s not a negative. Lynn last season were predicted to finish last. But t means holding out a bit for other teams to fill up so riders have fewer options in negotiations.

Makes sense Then Peterborough are going into the premier league just to prop the others up is that what you are saying , if so they are going into it for the wrong reasons and I don't think fans will see this in an enthusiastic light . If they are going into the premier league surely you have to be competitive and get best riders to fill teams not wait for others to sort there positions and then be left with crumbs off the plate, I just get the feeling Peterborough and Ipswich are just make waits for the survival of the premier league for another year .

Fans need to be kept up date and not given the mushroom effect. It's not a worry at all. Your whole 7 could already be done. With Buster as owner he likes the whole team to be announced at supporters meetings or after the new year. This helps with the build up to the new season. Absolutely no need to panic So what else do you need, surely not press releases daily? The AGM was only last week and you've already had news that you're moving up a division, Buster owns ya a$$ and Ged is looking at rider's.
