Just think about many speedway fans in general. Old men with clipboards doing scorecards & loft full of programmes. In any other setting you say "I'm not letting them anywhere near my kids." This thread has really made me think speedway is an uncomfortable place for kids & teenagers. Could this be what this age group feel when they turn up to meetings?? Rather than the racing's crap, could it be that feeling they're being watched?? It's made me think, never crossed my mind before this

Cracking action?!? Things have gotten really bad at King's Lynn if that's the level of thrilling action

You questioned the importance. When Wojdylo has a near 8 average at home, as reserve, able to take 7 rides it's very very clear his importance. No guest could cover that loss. Stupid comparison. King's Lynn don't need Wojdylo to look after the opposition reserves. Wojdylo is needed to deal with opposition 2nd strings & heat leaders because the current middle order is appalling to deal with it themselves. At home, while at reserve (which he currently won't be next month) Wojdylo is AAAAAAABSOLUUUUUUUUUUTELY MAAAAAAAAAAAASSIVELY important to King's Lynn winning their home meetings. Surely you understand that, no???

I'm no Buster defender as many know, but I believe I talk ?some? common sense. People seem to love getting their undercrackers in a tangle at every opportunity. At the end of the day, while a sport (questionable I know), it has to be a business. Cloth needs to be cut. Let's be quite frank, King's Lynn (yet again) are showing to be a pretty s#!+ team. There is now massive weight on the shoulders of Wojdylo to save the clubs season. Buster (in a business sense) couldn't give 2 poops about the away sides or going away from home, the bread & butter is the Adrian Flux Arena. He needs the fans to turn up to keep the club alive & being whacked at home week in week out will have a detrimental effect to business. Genuinely don't believe any King's Lynn fan would be to upset by the call off, they'd see the benefit to them as the fans most likely to pay the entrance. Most that's throwing a paddy now wouldn't even be parting with their hard earned to watch the meeting. If King's Lynn keep losing at home they go under, it's as simple as that. It has to be business first.

Dan Bewley is the new Adam Allott Out the gate first he can never be caught. miss the gate will forever go backwards unless the track is big

Justice there. Actually really enjoyed that one tonight. Always makes it better when the underdog comes out on top. Brilliant. For Belle Vue, that was abysmal

How on earth is a rerun called? This could be really cruel on Birmingham

King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions
Daniel Smith replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
As fans, there's no point quoting rules. Teams have signed riders on the day of a meeting & raced that evening before. Teams will do what suits their situation best, they ALL do it, every single one. 100% if Sheffield needed a win at home & Woffinden got his a$$ stuck in the toilet they'd call off the meeting due to an unfavourable weather forecast. This isn't new, but because King's Lynn always find themselves in the s#!t week in week out, year in year out, shady call offs will happen more regularly. Although a sport, they too will have to try & protect their business. Getting whacked at home every week will not help them survive. No defender of Buster at all but fans need to understand the predicament teams at the bottom face. The league can't afford anymore clubs going under, it's a real risk right now for King's Lynn. Closer than you think. -

King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions
Daniel Smith replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
King's Lynn has to be grippy vs Sheffield. Woffinden always bins it at Lynn when grippy & C.Holder will cry like a female dog about it. The boys would need practice time on it though or the Stars will be binning it also. Run the track slick, King's Lynn won't hit 40 at home, & they can't afford another defeat -
King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions
Daniel Smith replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Tarasenko has lost his workshop buddy in Laguta. Getting all you s#!t in order every week before a wheel is turned can make a huge difference, especially someone as experienced as Artem. Vadim (as mentioned) is effectively having to totally start again. Time is need to find his feet again, for both him and Wojdylo. Thing is, a couple more dodgy displays & it's season over for the Stars already as a quarter of the season has gone. Poor performing teams don't have time to wait for form, change/s has to made asap to give yourselves a chance. Iversen, Palm-Toft, Wojdylo & Tarasenko all need looking at, even this early. The biggest struggle though is who is willing & available as replacements??? -
Stars vs Aces - 11th April 2024
Daniel Smith replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Maybe the track just isn't conducive to competitive racing in the modern era? Straights to narrow, bends to tight etc. Grippy & slick have been tried with similar FTG results. It has to be down to track shape. Maybe a bit more banking would help giving more lines out of bends 2 & 4. -
What League system do the fans want?
Daniel Smith replied to WeymouthPirate's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
One big league - 1 fixture vs, 7 home & 7 away, no return fixtures. 14 meetings per team in total. Top 8 home & away twice, top wins the League Title Bottom 7 home & away twice, top wins Craven Shield. 26 / 28 fixtures per season -

World’s best 15?
Daniel Smith replied to customhouseregular's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
This nonsense again. There's not a single sport, team or individual, that has the 'outright best in the world' selected within their sports. Why is that? Simply, based on opinion. Every single sport is selected off of a human beings opinion. Not all F1 drivers are "the best in the world". Not all MotoGP riders are "the best in the world". Not all the players in the PDC Premier League are "the best in the world". It's purely a matter of opinion from the selectors & it's purely a matter of opinion from those opposing the selections. There are zero "facts" only stats as to who is or isn't best for the jobs. Shock, horror for many, stats ain't facts.
