Using the justification that the 'promoters all agreed to it' is woefully inadequate anyway Skidder.....the people in charge of our sport have shown time and time again that they are completely incapable of making decisions and regulations that benefit British speedway.

Speedway riders are self employed and only sign contracts which last 8 months at a time. No rider should be an asset of any particular club, as has been said if it was ever challenged in court speedway would have to fall in line with every other sport.

Love the look of this team, lots of youthful exuberance and potential improvement. Mon the Brits!

Wilkinson? Unfortunately a reserve combination of Lambert & Rose would look rather weak compared to others.

In amongst a book full of dreadful rules this is one of the better ones, been in place for a few seasons now I believe.

I'd imagine that contingency is already in place with the signing of Fisher.

Irrelevant, they are two completely separate jobs.

Mads will be much better for us than he was for Leicester, think the track and the atmosphere will suit him much more. Like Troy we know exactly what we are getting as both have spent time at the club before, there'll be no surprises or shocks.

There will be teams under the points limit because the limit is too high, that was obvious from the moment it was announced unfortunately. Kenni Larsen would be an excellent signing.

Some of his inside passing in 2011 was legendary Mungo, think he finished fourth in the EL averages and put all of the league's top men in their place when they came visiting. Sadly the bad crashes and injuries he has suffered since then have caught up with him and he is a shadow of the rider he was. I'd not be amused if he was named in the 2016 line up to be honest.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

The need of the team strength as a whole comes before individuals. As already stated, both parties have done what is best for them and everyone is amicable, so why is there a need for any fault?

He's putting himself first, as he should. Speedway riders are essentially self employed and he has done what is best for himself. I would suggest Lynn knew the risk of hanging on for Puk and therefore possibly losing Lewis, hence the amicable parting of the ways. If that has cleared things up then they were anyway as there is nothing in there we didn't already know.

As I've said, why apportion any blame at all? Its just one of those things, both parties have done what they believe to be right for themselves and everyone moves on with seemingly no hard feelings. The only ones getting their knickers in a twist are one or two people on here.

Excellent. So Lynn don't blame Lewis, Lewis doesn't blame Lynn, Lynn don't blame Lakeside or Ipswich, Lakeside and Ipswich have nobody to blame anything on and everyone is happy. Glad we cleared that one up.

I bet it'll go up by a pound more or less across the board. What should be a ten pound sport will nearly be twenty

So nobody within the club then.

It would seem that the rider that can't make Wednesdays wouldn't have been in the side had Puk signed, that is the point. The possible change of race night was part of plan B should Neils say no to the UK, and of course he hadn't done so when the draft was done and Lewis signed for Ipswich. As I said, mountains and molehills. None of the four parties involved have made any kind of fuss and its beyond me why anybody on here would want to either. Boredom perhaps?

Because at that time he was waiting for a yes or no from Neils? Kerr's 'actions' have made nobody look silly. Its all been blown way out of proportion.

Who is blaming Lewis?

I'd say that the fact it happened so quickly suggests that Buster had been part of the discussion from the word go too, unless you are suggesting Lakeside spoke to Kerr without King's Lynn's knowledge I am sure as soon as Kerr starting talking to Ipswich Buster must have at least considered the possibility that he would lose the rider should Puk decide to cut the UK out in 2016. The fact that everything has happened so smoothly and without heels being dug in suggests all parties were prepared for the scenario and that back up plans were in place long ago. I guess we will have a better idea once Lynn's new number six is announced as at present the reserve draft list, along with the heat leader list, seems to be shrouded in secrecy. As for the change of race night I don't believe Buster would enforce such a significant change on his customers without having a pretty good idea of their preferences and tolerances. He has been running the club/stadium for well over twenty years now and I would suggest knows exactly what is what. Its not ideal to switch from Wednesday to Thursday I'll admit but i don't believe it will cause too many people much of a problem, we had several Thursday fixtures a couple of seasons ago and one would assume it didn't affect crowds levels an awful lot. Plus if Thursday is going to be one of the set race nights next year as seems quite likely then for the sake of a competitive side why not make the alteration a year early. Norfolk people are a pretty laid back bunch and fairly adaptable, plus we've all been given over three months notice so I personally don't see it as a massive deal, although others may well disagree.

Both of those things can't be true.....if Buster had a back up plan as far back as you indicate then his ducks obviously were 'all in a row'. As any club would for a rider of his calibre and with such a high points limit he gave Puk time to have a think about returning next season, and it seems to me he had a plan B in place all along, but one which unfortunately means a change of race night. Don't forget though this is nothing new, we rode on plenty of Thursday nights in 2014 because of Danish fixtures. It seems Lewis was told that the race night might change but decided to sign for Ipswich anyway and join up with his Team Revolution partner, which is totally his perogative. Obviously if Buster had discussed all this with Cook weeks ago he must have had a contnigency plan, just as he has for replacing NKI. Giving one of the top riders in the world a bit of time to decide isn't dithering. Buster Chapman is many things (especially according to you) but daft isn't one of them. I'd have thought you could have just been pleased to have signed a fine reserve like Lewis without taking the opportunity to have a bleat along the way.

Don't really understand why people think there has to have been some kind of fall out or that anybody has to take the blame for the Kerr situation.....circumstances have conspired against Lewis riding for both Lynn and Ipswich, just one of those things. Personally I think riding two different circuits next season at what are two decent clubs will do him a lot of good and help his career. Pretty sure we haven't seen the last of him at King's Lynn.

Even if Davey is allowed to ride surely that goes against the grain of what the number seven scheme is trying to achieve?

These Nicki Pedersen rumours seem to surface every year, and like every other year I'm afraid they are pie in the sky IMO, although I'd happily be proved wrong. As for Lewis Kerr then if those rumours are true and we are swapping our race night then as disappointed as I'd be to see him have to race elsewhere in the EL it only seems right to me that Ipswich (and Lewis himself in PL terms) don't get penalised. No idea how many points it would leave for the mystery man but I would speculate that the other six will be Lambert, Schlein, Batchelor, Bjerre, Rose and Kerr/Roynon.
