Probably the most under whelming announcement of the week. We read all the attractive acquisitions, other clubs have attained , but all we do is post a reserve, who quite honestly don't inspire anyone.... Not so much to piss anyone off, as I see it but more like "we don't give a monkey;s about what you think" . Why not announce one of the new acquisitions ( if there are to be any ) if you hoped to impress the supporters who are left. Out of date re "how to do it" and short on ideas too.

semion 2,192 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Kasper Anderson had a higher away average than Lewis Kerr last season. Speaks volumes. Sheffield, Swindon, Belle Vue shopping at Waitrose. Buster shopping at Lidl. Edited November 29, 2019 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMessiahOfTheBSF 84 Posted November 29, 2019 No point complaining about the Lewis Kerr signing. You guys as well as us Panthers fans should know by now that Buster will serve up the same rubbish year after year because he's main focus is about saving the Premiership rather than winning the Premiership. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't want continuity just for the sake of it, especially if they are not performing consistantly and they show no signs of improving, you have to except that they have reached there limit, teams win with riders that have progress in them and consistency, not double figures one meeting, and 3 or 4 in next.

This was probably the only club that made an announcement about the forth-coming announcement, but in fact the original announcement was of more important than the actual .announcement . Cant wait for the second one 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will always struggle when when it comes to finance when compared with clubs based it big cities. Same as little old Norwich City FC.

"We will try and go one better next season" that's what gets me. That's what was said after topping the league and only loosing in the play off through late injuries to NKI and MPT. We also had the best away record in the league in 2018 as well. What we got was 2nd from bottom and probably the worst away record in the league. After 50 odd years of trying to win the top flight, it was great to see the Stars do so well. I know it's early doors yet and on 5.43 Lewis could well be in the 1-5. Erik, TJ, Lewis, and MPT averaged 18.44 between the 4 of them away from the AFA in 2019, and 29.12 at home. Lets hope Buster's calculator is working as it should. Still looking forward to the next reveal, hoping for some changes that will improve things on the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the geography lesson I had often wondered where Kings Lynn was. Lets hope the other 6 signings are a little bit more inspiring that Lewi.

I know you not really interested, but if you take a look at these stats, I think you will be surprised, and see where some of us Stars fans are coming from.. Home 7.71 Away 3.78 1st 16 1st 2 2nd 12 2nd 7 3rd 9 3rd 14 4th 3 4th 11 Home and away is like night and day At the end of last season the team manager said something on the lines of " it's no good having riders that can score a maximum at home and hardly anything away". We shall see. reminds me of Adam Allott .. the rest of the team pretty much knew they would be one rider down at away meetings which has a massive affect on the mentality. as soon as Allott was replaced by the fit again Doolan the club started winning trophies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what happened to him? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
