  3. To end up losing by 14 after Schlein’s withdrawal is shocking. Didn’t think we were ever going to win the meeting but those last few heats have probably chucked the bonus point away also. Then you’ve got the ‘manager’ coming on after the meeting saying we were unlucky a few times, the guy just waffles sh*te constantly Please put an end to the Complin experiment now. Good to see Marcin in the points, looked quicker tonight. Think he was more nervous doing his BSN interview than riding the track

  4. Bomber was passed, Jenkins slowed as Rory was on his line then he turned into bombers back wheel. The camera from the home straight is most revealing. It's one of those racing incidents no-one did anything wrong but someon had to go

  5. The trouble is too many promoters have a take it or leave it policy what should be happening is a meet and greet autograph session with all the riders. Opportunity to have your photo with your favourite riders and sit on a bike maybe. Anyone who shares it on social media is entered into a draw to win a pair of free tickets etc the accesability of the riders is unique to our sport yet we don’t use it to promote. The promotion needs to promote !!!!

  7. Morris refused to comply with the test requirement. At that instant he took the matter into his own hands so I don’t see why other parties should be wasting their time investigating this further to assess whether the punishment should extend beyond the mandatory 30 day ban. Random testing is part and parcel of professional sport (even speedway falls into that category) and if you’re dumb enough to refuse a test it’s an admission that you have something to hide. I don’t see why the situation needs to be more complex than that. Serve him with the maximum ban/fine and move on.

  8. I'm just hoping that all the people who have fallen out of love with King's Lynn Speedway, will come along and help save the club from closure, if only out of respect for the people you used to stand/sit with, who you probably chatted or had a pint with, who still depend on it as there night out. As a club, they've suffered bad times, which is currently the case, and good times when they were in a lower league. What ever has happened before, nobody can change, but we can all help by offering our support whilst the club sorts its financial and managerial problems out, of which they will with our help and support, so we can move forwards again. It's obvious that a lot of you don't like Keith Chapman, and of course, that is your right, but if he hadn't bought the stadium in the first place, nobody would have enjoyed those wonderful years of the past, under his leadership, of which he now wants rid of. He's been quite open and said he wants to sell the speedway side of his business, and it's such a shame that Alex Brady had to leave suddenly for the reasons he gave, because I thought he was the right man to get the club out of the doldrums in seasons to come. He's publicly said that he would like to one day return, and who knows, that day could be tomorrow, or it could be two years time, only he knows that. Buster is obviously talking to people and sponsors behind the scenes, but he's never going to get people interested in purchasing the speedway business, unless more people return to the terraces. Those of you who constantly express your opinions on social media, on the quality of riders that are in the team, and bear in mind, nobody deliberately rides badly, as they're not earning their wages. Everybody in whatever form of life has there own level of ability, and that's how human life revolves. You complain about certain riders that have been signed, of which you have got that right to do, I'm no different. But just take a look at other clubs, and I don't just mean Peterborough, they are built in a similar fashion to that of King's Lynn. Ipswich are one club in such a case, that are complaining about Danny King, Erik Riss, Joe Thompson, before he was replaced by his brother, but you don't read of their supporters walking away from their club. Many of you say you no longer attend speedway meetings at the Adrian Flux Arena, but you must still like the sport, and have an interest in what's happening at/with King's Lynn Speedway club, or you wouldn't waste your time looking and writing on these forums in the first place. So please, help to keep King's Lynn Speedway alive, and the sport alive in Norfolk, in all probability, the county were the majority of you live, and return to the terraces for the last few meetings of the season, which will hopefully encourage someone, or a consortium plus maybe extra sponsors, to purchase the club from Keith Chapman, and see if they can put right what you don't like. Only you can do that now, so please give it one more shot, in an attempt to keep speedway alive in Norfolk

  9. Not bad for his first visit to Oxford, will wait for the "bringing back Marcin was a mistake" brigade to voice their opinions again. Same as Redcar away, tight meetings with a strong heat leaders and one strong reserve (Heeps tonight, Edwards at Redcar) and we just can't get heat advantages in heats 12 and 14. So it leaves it 50/50 on how the meeting plays out, From the results in heats 13 and 15. Barring in mind going into heat 12 we were only 4 points down. We are majorly struggling at 6 and looking at tonight's result I think finishing out of the top 3 is looking very realistic.

  10. Agree with all of the above we are clearly carrying passengers but things can change. The senior reserve is a major concern as is Vissing when it matters. But well done to a banged about Oxford side well deserved victory.

  22. Should always be 2 points for a home win and a point for a draw. A simple table which is always easy to read and understand. Peterborough manage against the odds to get a point at Wolverhampton and deservedly so and somehow end up losing the meeting!

  24. While I hope Kings Lynn remain open the attitude of use it or lose it has to be eradicated from Speedway. In any other walk of life it would be seen as emotional blackmail. If you have a business you have to work to ensure customers return, not threaten them with closure if they don’t buy your product.

  27. Well you could test everybody at every event but that would cost a couple of grand a time. Are people willing to accept a £2 admission fee increase for this?

  28. Thank you for the information but sorry I didn’t see it before we went although it was no problem. Really enjoyed the meeting. Good weather, good crowd. Lindback was really enjoying himself. He rode very well and had a few good tussles with Pawlicki. A last heat decider too and a new t-shirt for my collection !

  30. As was said by KT (I think it was him), if you got to watch a replay 4 times before you can notice a slight move then their was no movement. The 2 decisions were bad decisions that could have cost BV the match, and definitely affected Wrights earnings last night.

  31. Woffinden has been allowed to get to the level he has by the fact he's in the GP's despite never having qualified. Madsen was ignored for a number of years while being the top rider in Poland. I've said it before and I'll say it again would Holder & Bewley be at the level they're now at had they not been given the opportunity to ride in the GP's at the expense of the Russians? Or would they still be at the level they were at bumbling about on the cusp? We'll never know of course but just because you're not currently in the GP series doesn't mean you can't raise your game to the level of a GP rider

  32. Sorry to say Pirates were like F1 out of the starts whereas Brum were walking out, feel sorry for the Promoter and the crowd they deserve better, maybe it's unfair to compare Brum with Poole but the Brummies were miles off it, I think Starkey is finished, Danny disappointing, Sedgy chalk and cheese comparing his Brum and Leicester scores, Batch a reasonable return but all in all Brum beaten by a far better team, I do believe I can see young Sam getting to grips with the Championship he certainly likes to ride the wide lines.

  42. Just looking at photographs of the rider in the rostrum can't help but notice how cheap and plastic the three trophies are. Surely a proper silver cup or silver and wooden shield awarded annually would be more appropriate along with a replica for the winner? Was there not a 'real' trophy back in the days when it was called the British Junior Championship? I seem to recall Barry Thomas holding a nice trophy when he won the title.

  43. Still wouldn’t have a Kubera or Kurtz in a series instead of a Woffinfen or Madsen….. sure they may have one good meeting like Nilsson recently did but they would be quite clearly at the bottom of the standings which again in my opinion being bottom isn’t an issue as someone has to be … In my opinion Nilsson and Michelsen I would replace with Laguta and Emil and then you would have the worlds best

  44. I only had the chance to watch it last night, but my thoughts exactly. Even if the exclusion was technically correct, it was at best an ungentlemanly & dangerous move. Holder knew he was there as they were side by side coming off the corner and while I accept that he had pulled clear, he left Zmarzlik nowhere to go. Lambert in heat 16 was clearly faster on the outside, but if Zmarzlik had pulled that move on him, he would have been slaughtered. Instead, he left Lambert room to race. I guess it's the same as it being "boring" if Zmarzlik is dominating the series, but if it was a Brit dominating the series it would be fantastic!
