I'd have taken Scott Nicholls over R/R to be fair.

This has been the way at King's Lynn ever since Jonathan Chapman left. There needs to be someone new, with very deep pockets to make King's Lynn a success.

They received a suspended sentence over the 'Pit Gate' incident

10 years ago I would have agreed but he's been alongside Buster at Peterborough too, he's well aware of how it all works under that ownership so I'm not sure he cares to be honest

That has sealed King's Lynn's fate as fighting for the coveted 'Wooden Spoon' title yet again. Embarrassing club. Apart from the visits of Sheffield & Ipswich (quality of riders) really wouldn't bother turning up. £23 a meeting with nothing to aim for. ______________________________________ Some are worried about Birmingham not seeing the season out, could the same fears be said for the Stars?

Before I thought it was about saving pennies but it can't be. Buster is still paying wages for the away meetings but is getting nothing in from the home meetings. So it's gone the other way & he's clearly got money to burn now All very odd

I've never had a zero to hero rider. Never disliked anyone really, the biggest panto villain vs Kings Lynn was Dave Norris & Ryan Fisher. The latter is the closest to 'Zero to Hero' I can think of when he signed for us. Overall though, I've never considered any rider a "Zero".

Against his King's Lynn teammates yes.

Would have Howarth at King's Lynn in a heartbeat to replace Palm-Toft

All I read from his post was 'It was everyone else's fault' he got caught again. None of that s#!te made any sense at all. Just the typical xyz all criminals come out with:- "I have no idea how that got there" "??? made me do it" "I was waiting / going to see a mate" Utter tripe spouted

The whole of British Speedway is in a precarious position right now. It really needs a billionaire to turn it around. Nobody likes it but Buster is trying to make sure every meeting is profitable. The cost of getting rider's over to be called off is expensive. Pre-meeting preparation for a call off is expensive. 200-300 fans not turning up on grey days with the threat of being ripped off through forcing through 10 heats is expensive. For a promoter to make a profit (paying away cost too) has to be guaranteed near perfect conditions. Everyone hates it, but I don't blame Buster either for doing it.

Nope, crimes against children ARE by far the worst

SCB wouldn't have been a topic until the nonce reappeared. His reappearance has also highlighted a conversation that a 'Leopard never changes it spots'.

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???

You know it doesn't quite work that way. For few home meetings he had at Peterborough he had a near 6 average. The few home meetings he's had at King's Lynn he has a near 8 average. He's massively important to King's Lynn to get results at home. Without him it's certain defeat.

About 20 years ago

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.

The away side can't call off a meeting

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

Is it just me or has the SGP series become horrifically stale? Apart from Lambert.I just can't engage with these rider's, they just bore me. The whole thing needs a freshen up imo
