GeneralMelchett 482 Posted August 9, 2023 Well this a disappointment - Laguta having a decent night for Wrocław - 9 from 4 so far - I am hoping maybe he will be there it was mooted before that he wouldn’t appear for an away match and he did so fingers crossed otherwise it will be a bit of a biffing - I do get the trying to stem losses thing - but openness and transparency do matter too!

Falcon1983 557 Posted August 9, 2023 Please note I only said R/R for Laguta based on him riding tonight which would be an easy excuse to miss the meeting, i hope he is there as it would be good to see him vs Emil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These were the meetings we looked forward to when the fixtures came out. Buzzing for it. Roll on 20yrs it doesn't even feel like a derby. I know I've been moaning like a little b!+ch about King's Lynn for around 5yrs now but it's because I bloody care. Now many many more fans are finally seeing it. Our crowd levels have been evident of that. The situation at Peterborough my have opened the eyes of King's Lynn fans too with regards to our owner, could you imagine had he got Ipswich too The troubles at King's Lynn & fraudulent treatment of fans & other clubs this season in terms of dodgy call-offs & missing rider's make these fixtures meaningless. These threads should be banter central, forum fisty cuffs. It's just dead, great shame Totally agree Daniel. Years ago, an Ipswich v Kings Lynn derby would have attracted huge numbers of Lynn supporters down to Foxhall, but to be honest I can't even be bothered to go to home meetings now. The last few years have seen some dire teams and the track surface just doesn't seem to produce decent racing anymore. Last Sunday I went and watched the Mildenhall v Leicester meeting. Some cracking racing, and a last heat decider that made for a very enjoyable afternoon. All this for almost half the price of me travelling from Norwich to a Kings Lynn match. I've supported Kings Lynn since 1969 so it saddens me to see the state of the set up at the moment, but I'm just hoping things will improve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The club needs a complete reset; a new promoter, new team, new track surface, the lot. Whether that will happen remains to be seen but I have my doubts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with what you say but with a new promotion Buster will still have some involvement the track won’t change as it’s all about stock cars at Lynn - I’d like to see a new stadium owner as well I really think Buster has reached the end of the line - in football we’d say he’s lost the dressing room in speedway he’s lost the fans it’s time for him to sell up and let someone else run the stadium and speedway and stocks .

Only thing you can do as far as this evening is concerned, is forget about the result and just hope for some good racing if Laguta is there. Laguta vs Emil and Doyle is something we haven’t seen much of calibre wise in recent years. We SHOULD know by time anyone has to set off from Norfolk if Artem isn’t going to be there or not. I did say when I started this thread I’ll be giving this one a miss, but if Laguta is riding then I’ll change my mind! Weather helps, cracking day today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,028 Posted August 10, 2023 You know things are bad when there's a rider (Laguta) who's not injured, scheduled to be there & listed in the pre-match teams, but people are wanting confirmation he's going to be there before turning up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MP78 17 Posted August 10, 2023 Any further news on ‘Laguta watch’ ?? There is another possibility… he does actually turn up… get roasted by Emil in heat one, lays the bike down, cites an aggravation of an old injury and withdraws from the meeting… Completely farcical I know, but probably in keeping with the general way of things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
