Bald Bloke

He's 30 i think. But will up his average this season. Very early days yet. NKI scored 9 in the Peter Craven memorial meeting, which was a good start. But out of his 9 points in 2 league meetings so far, 5 points have come from HT8. As i said, very early days. But by the time our next home meeting comes around on the 22nd against Sheffield, we could well of lost our first 4 meetings (3 away, 1 home). Loosing the Sheffield meeting would be a disaster. It's a must win, as well as running our away meetings close. I'll look at the riders stats after the 5th meeting, before i get on any riders case though.

Normally id go for something like 50-40. But given MPT's spill and the lack of track time at home, i can see this one going either way tbh. I expect BV to be the sharper of the 2 teams early doors. Heats 13 and 15 could be tough for the Stars as well. Hoping Vadim and Toby are both on it tonight. Can't make it, so will be watching the updates come in. Lovely evening for it. Come on u Stars .......

Maybe time to start doing the Euro Millions

100%.. If we are serious of a play off place, we can't f00k about for a few quid. If Lynn have a crap year with this team (not cheap), the fans will continue to dwindle. End of King's Lynn maybe ? We know Buster wants out.. Profit might keep him interested..

Has stopped here now. 3 miles as the crow flies for me.

7pm, and here comes the rain.

Ipswich Witches 7 m · Sadly, we have been forced to postpone tonight's fixture against Leicester at Foxhall Too much rain has fallen late this afternoon for the track to dry out A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course … See more That post was around 6pm on the Ippo FB page. With away fans probably on their way. Riders there ? I thought they would of tried until at least 7.30 to get the track rideable, if not raceable?

POSTPONED: STARS v BIRMINGHAM - King's Lynn Speedway - The Home of the Stars (kingslynn-speedway.com)

These days they can’t afford to gamble. Money is tighter. I’m 3 miles as the crow flys away ,and it’s blowing a gale,and has started to rain.a Just in time for heat 1 , at 7.45.Good call imho.

You’ll never please everyone ;-)

Meeting off

My reply was just to this meeting, and the bet.

I'm with you on that one as well . I keep telling myself, it's early days yet

I'm with you on that

They will need to do better than last seasons BB 6 from 5, and Vadim 4 (4). But you never know.

Would be a great start if we could get something tonight. I do think you prediction is about right though. Enjoy your evening

It has been said that Buster bought them to save the Prem, and the TV deal. Rathbone was going to continue in the Champ if no buyer came forward i believe. There are a some Panthers fans that are starting to give MT a bit of stick on here lately, and rightly so imho.. I think some still don't, hoping he might come good one day, and don't want to pee him off. As you mentioned Johnson" buggering of " , i wonder what the Panthers fans would of thought of him, if his actions would of caused Chapman to shut up shop mid season. Maybe a cynic might think he did it thinking that it would put Buster in trouble, and help his mate MT get the club cheap/free, who knows?

No fool would promise what he did to the fans before engaging his brain first either , I’m afraid.

It's a tough one... Anything can happen this early in the season. I wonder how the track is, after all the rain? Edit.. Just seen the track on another tread, looks ok. Lets hope the weather plays ball

If you are unable to attend, these will also be available for collection at our opening home meeting on Thursday March 28, or by arrangement.

Agree. People knew about the PB situation before the season started, thats why we got the new stadium talk/ waffle from you know who.. As the PB fans know, Lynn finished bottom the year PB won the title. Buster brought riders in after CJ left him in the poo, and those riders helped PB to win a good few meetings nearer the end of last season, which dumped He's beloved Lynn bottom yet again. I would like to think that real speedway fans would realise that Lynn might well of suffered after Buster took over at PB.. And that it's just Buster that they are pissed off with, and not the fans.. With regard's the riders, I suspect that several teams were talking to their/ Busters riders before the season had finished. No surprise that Buster was too, as you say.. He bought them over No one knows if Buster has taken that "brown envelope" that some have wrongly spoke of. We will find out in the end, no doubt..And he will get deserved flack from all angles, if he has. I hope that TM eventually puts his money were his mouth is, and helps the Panthers build a new track elsewhere. But i'm not holding my breath..

Sometimes an over enthusiastic presenter looks a bit silly at Lynn. Trying to get the crowd going at Lynn don't always work imho.

I'm the same Daniel. I've been getting it since NP did half a lap.. MT did indeed promise the world, and got the fans buzzing. i believe "i'm a winner" and "the new Man city of speedway" was mentioned. Oh dear!! . Then we had his right hand man at the time CJ having a go at the fans for only just paying to get in, or something similar. Then he bailed out and left Buster in the brown stuff. Oh and in a statement he said they were looking at land, and that they had " some waiting".. We have had Mick Bratley on this forum standing up for Buster twice. Once stating that if Buster didn't remove the fence and lights, they would get someone in and bill Buster. Some still moaned, and Mick said" Believe me, Buster ain't the bad guy here".. So for me, until someone can prove Buster has took a brown envelope, my opinion will not change. I know he's far from perfect, and no doubt it will come out in the end. I have no doubt the consortium are doing their best. And wish them the very best. MT was listed as a part of that btw. Don't know if that's still the case. My likes are not working. But i agree with the brown envelope thing. To premature and wrong to even suggest such things... It will come out in the end i'm sure. I've been very quiet on this for a while now, but reading this has started my engine again

Thanks Baggy. I was hoping it was just a rumour Wow, they're giving the seats away, what kind people they are, with such a big hearts

Do you have a link Haza.
