semion 2,192 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) It is down to ethics. (No not the one just outside London with Chelmsford as it capital) Some Promotions will do anything to win a Speedway fixture. Buster will stretch it so far, but there is a line we wont cross. ( cough Edinburgh) Edited May 29, 2015 by semion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted May 28, 2015 Football matches in Premier League, Football League or any other League are not called off or cancelled because X,Y, and Z players are injured. I'm afraid this is how league titles are won and lost through injuries all part and parcel of most team sports. Why do people always compare to football etc.There is no comparison whatsoever.To start with in football there are squads,more money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 28, 2015 Well as Buster owns both the Speedway and the Football Club's in Lynn I think it is a very fair comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted May 28, 2015 Why do people always compare to football etc.There is no comparison whatsoever.To start with in football there are squads,more money. When we are talking about injuries you can compare it to other sports. Injuries doesn't help any side in any sport. We do need a squad system to help with things like this but even then Kings Lynn would be weaker, it's just the nature of sport. At least you could call the riders your own if they are contracted to your club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 28, 2015 The Trouble with a squad system is can you really expect riders to be set up with £x amount of equipment in the UK doing nothing ? These guys are self-employed. No ride No pay. Footballers have contracts where they get a salary whether or not they play, injured or just out of form. Big Big difference 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foreverblue 6,096 Posted May 28, 2015 If we are comparing to football, what about something like football, i believe football teams have what is called a squad system, bit radical i know but has been mentioned in Dorset for years but come up against alot of resistance.

00000 1,279 Posted May 28, 2015 You should be more worried about the King's Lynn track this season: it is causing people to stay away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Fever 274 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) You should be more worried about the King's Lynn track this season: it is causing people to stay awa No idea what your on about but yes ppl would stay away MAYBE if the track was as bad as you think, but Lynn's track is still better than most even on a bad day! What would definitely deter fans though is watching their depleted team losing and/or struggling every wee k because the promotion didnt attempt to strengthen! Hopefully after tonight's almost inevitable loss to Poole something will be done...and quick! Edited May 28, 2015 by Star Fever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed you forgot to mention: We rode at home against Poole when they were strengthen with Rory who scored 12! We rode against a full wolves side whilst we were missing Sarjeant. We rode against A full king's Lynn team whilst we had Connor Mountain guesting for Sarjeant! Yeah really lucky 😂 Edited May 28, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
