It would also be hard to pick between Kerr and Andersen who to drop too.I know it's only 4 away meetings done in the league but Andersen has put his average up about 3pts and Kerr 3pts in the opposite direction.Kerr is really struggling for Lynn at the moment. Cant see Cook coming to any of Busters three sides. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The racing is terrible, ok it looks quick but you can’t overtake on this track anymore. When a rider like lambert can’t overtake there is something wrong, but by looking at the crowd last night I’m not the only one who has had enough. got to be the worst crowd I have seen at Lynn for years. Get rid of the stupid mud shale which does not allow for good racing and put on some decent shale. Otherwise there will be more people in the pits than on the terraces ! Such a shame our Once great track has gone this way Poole were always regarded as the arch enemy and the attendance would reflect the intense rivalry between the two teams. When you read comments, like the above, it really does highlight the dire situation that now exists at Saddlebow Road. I now liken Buster similar to that of our Prime Minister. They're both deaf and blind, so ignoring all the comments from those around them. We are fortunate Teresa May is coming to the and of her reign and will be eventually replaced. With Buster, we aren't so lucky, he no doubt would rather run the club in the ground than listen to the fans.. ... So we had better get use to watching 'Gate and Go' racing on a grippy track. or lump it.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Speedway is the only sport that i know in which the supporter / customer is not aloud to have a view and be entitled to moan.Why are some people in denial ? my club have had endless problems over the past few years certainly on the entertainment front.Thing's are still not perfect but i can see the club have listened and are really trying and i believe most of our fans know that and respect it.There are other club's that seem tobe immune to criticism and are just going on doing it there way or no way a dangerous game to play.There are now alot of the older reliable fan who love the sport now having there patience stretched to the limit dangerous times for our sport.

Certainly what has happened to me and a small group of fellow fans. When Buster Chapman owns all of the "top" league clubs ( perhaps only five of them in a league then ), it is likely that only a couple of hundred vetted fans will be allowed to attend matches having sworn an oath that " all is well and nothing could ever be improved". Not as far fetched as you might think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lynn management had actually listened and tried to improve things (even unsuccessfully) maybe a few more of the ex attenders would still go. However when complaints and suggestions are ignored it gets to the point of why bother. There are a rising number who have reached that stage. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take your point but why would anyone carry on going to meetings handing over £18 just to keep a club going - If as a fan you feel your money is better spent on other things that you enjoy more that’s what your going to do - if the club listened to ex fans concerns it would be something but they don’t it’s there way or no way . I still class myself as a speedway fan I watch on tv every meeting I can but I choose to keep my £18 for other things . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
