This slagging off of King's Lynn, or should I say Keith Chapman, doesn't do the club any good, if someone is prepared to buy the club from him. Potential sponsors that a new promotion would require, would have been reading all this old clap trap, and become uninterested, and don't think companies don't look at these sites if they are wanting to sponsorship out there, because they do. Okay, I've opened the door so you can start slagging me off, which will just confirm what I've said about sponsors. I'm not slagging anyone off, merely wanting to be informed who was unavailable - surely they can be honest can't they? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But buster and kings lynn have brought it upon themselves. we don’t just moan for the sake of moaning. It’s because buster and lynn give us a reason to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,229 Posted August 16, 2023 You don't need to be ITK to realise that the problem is much deeper at KL and this is just another excuse, Should just pull out of the league altogether. Remember when Wolves were forced to go to Sheffield a couple of weeks ago with a ridiculous line-up? Literally no different to the situation KL claim to be in yet they're allowed to call it off, Something iffy is going on. King's Lynn can easily book Championship riders to guest whilst running R/R for Klindt.

arnieg 3,651 Posted August 16, 2023 Anyone with the IQ of a lettuce could have forseen that with fixed race nights where six of seven teams were riding and almost universal doubling up, it would result sooner or later in a situation where no (decent) guests were available. So why didn't the BSPL realise this was the inevitable consequence of their decisions? Oh I see. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,046 Posted August 16, 2023 Pretty poor excuse to postpone the match imo, only 2 riders injured so r/r for Klindt & and Championship second string for TJ isn't much worse than they've been running all season tbh. Calling off a match because you can't find a "strong" guest just opens up a can of worms now doesn't it? 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They haven't said that though have they, just rider unavailability, for all we know it could've been four or five of them missing but as usual there's no honesty. If there was, I could be empathetic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another stab in the back for speedway fans and the sport by the stupid clown Chapman who clearly doesn’t give a dam. Also shows as if we didn’t know that Morris has zero authority as the so called CEO. It’s time both these pathetic fools were drummed out of speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there or isn't there a rule about fielding competitive teams? If so why enforce it now? There can't be. There isn't a definition of competitive/non competitive nor can one be practically written, what's the cut off point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 359 Posted August 16, 2023 I have been to several matches where a low average NL guest has, been used to replace a far superior rider, so what is the difference between that situation? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
