If laguta was going to be missing I could understand missing your top two would be very difficult to cover. But kings lynn haven’t actually said who apart from the obvious absentees would be missing. a little transparency would stop a lot of bad feeling. Many Ipswich fans attended two weeks ago. I wonder how many will not attend the restaging in protest. Every KL and Ipswich fan should stay away and treat the half-wit Chapman with same the contempt that he has treated loyal speedway fans over some considerable time. As I have said before the deceitful shallow man deserves nothing from fans only derision. Take note Mr Chapman, what goes around come’s around!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therefused 819 Posted August 17, 2023 6 man teams with a junior at reserve? Wouldnt say no to some sort of four team tournament league either with 5 man teams with a named reserve that has to take at least two/three rides. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted August 17, 2023 Buster should just merge KL and Peterborough as one team next season, Home attendances would be good as you'll get all of the loyal KL fans as well as the loyal Panthers fans turning up every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep MT and CJ away.. We don't need hot air, and dont want to be expected to clean the bogs either Fan wise it could work though, as you say.

WembleyLion 413 Posted August 17, 2023 4 hours ago, therefused said: But Thompson started the meeting, that is the difference. Indeed and there is absolutely no reason why KL could not have done the same today and start the meeting! I expect it will be confirmed that the real reason for the call off was the absence of Laguta and they dared not play the food poisoning or wrist injury card again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There also seems to be too much will he won't he ride discussions about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I don’t believe you would - not in the circle of friends I mix with who are all “loyal Panthers fans”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
