Kings Lynn v Leicester Lions 4/7/2018
waytogo28 replied to justathought's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Oh NO you didn't but I can't find it in print. Can anyone else? For example the promotion? -
Great, Robert Lambert and 6 Danes ( or is one of them Swedish? ). Some Weds. KL would need 7 guests ( that's OK as it's all in the best interest of the sport )
-
That's right I blame the fans too! They could have all taken the Promoters advice and brought a new friend every week ( sometimes two ) or over the last few years eagerly paid, say £25 or even £30 to get in. That would have given riders a much better living ( no mortgages ) and promoters far fewer headaches and financial stresses. Fans should all be castigated and any over 65 should really pay more, not less. With 2,000people per match at Rye House even BMR would have made it a roaring success.

And Joe Dimagio would have been a great attraction at any speedway meeting.

The proof of that pudding will be judged by future turnstile takings. -
Clubs closing in midseason have always seemed to have been run by promoters who are new to the sport and underfunded with delusions of being able to do much better than anyone before them.

Kings Lynn v Leicester Lions 4/7/2018

I am stunned that such a section in a rule exists " take all necessary steps to safeguard, at all times, the interests and welfare of all riders, Officials and Spectators during a Meeting," it has been almost totally ignored over the last few years at KLS, just as it was yesterday evening. Very little thought or concern was given to the 1,000+ people who had paid to come in. That rule was not penned by Buster I feel sure. Nigel Pearson perhaps? -

This has gone beyond being acceptable with NO information about whether re-admission tickets can be used. Fans have been mugged unless the club does this - regardless of Heat 6 being reached. The reason it did not go the distance Is down to Buster cutting corners yet again. There WERE always two ambulances and a paramedic plus a named doctor and if a medical room ( to the accepted standard once existed - where is it now?) Yes, it is a budget sport and are promoters everywhere now doing the same? I can no longer get to away tracks to compare. As a budget sport, why is it not £10 to get in? The crowd was up - at least 1200 maybe more - the track was excellent but all let down by inadequate backup facilities which seem unsafe for riders anyway. Is that correct? What Health and Safety laws exist for putting on motorsport and admitting the paying public? As ever at KLS there are many questions to be answered but no-one in the "management" prepared to answer them. Same old, same old mess. I for one will test in law the validity of whether a refund or a re-admission ticket is due to supporters who paid if nothing is forthcoming. It's time somebody did. -

Doesn't Falcao have motor racing brother? He could be persuaded to give the shale a try. And the scramble to the ref's box would make great TV! The problem with the Nicaraguan riders is they like to be based at home and the travel costs and flight schedules would be a huge headache for the Manager. -
Isn't that enough time to put in the Lego Stadium? We might be in for a pleasant surprise. Let's ask one of the new house owners to check and see if anything has just popped up.
-
Would add to his guarantee - media work. Or he would need to employ a PR Manager and that would bump up the cost per match.

Same old, same old tired KLS. No changes here ( except fitter riders ). How lucky we are that we have no Nicaraguan riders, think what a headache that would have been for the Team Manger. -
Was it a leak or was it a "fact" that we would we told something on Tuesday ( the one just passed)? Not only for Rye House it really is very dangerous for the whole sport, if this is not a one club wobble but a sport-wide earthquake. My view of it is that it must have closed because it is no longer open. It's last fixture was cancelled. I hope someone. sometime corrects my assumption.

A terrific track of the same name by The Kipper Family. Great music and very funny Sid Kipper, a talented man from Trunch. -
Poole Pirates Vs Belle Vue Aces 4/7/18
waytogo28 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not if last night in Sweden is anything to go by! Track problems with too much rain, too much high water table, too much of the wrong shale too many holes and now too much sun. At King's Lynn we have had too much wind as well. Soon it will be too many fans in the stadium for Health and Safety to accept. That is one problem I can't see cropping up in the UK any time soon. -
I thought the new KLS Media Person ( young Ms Buster ) would have tweeted this as soon as it was known ( NKI's hokey cokey ) or even have been in digital contact with Esbjerg early on Monday morning. Perhaps because Pearson is still our web mouthpiece and he is between GPs he could not sort it out and thus knock any rumours on the head. With all these co-promoters, media staff and dogsbodies at KLS perhaps everybody thought somebody else would do it and nobody did?
-
Massive international co-operation then. Speedway could be saved in the UK by such selfless attitudes, Just would have been nice to have been told on Monday.
-
Hurray! Most of the uncertainty removed. But why not by the club officially?
-
Muffled bells and a funereal tone with black edging? Negotiations for a takeover or team swap fell down? Or RH could have been bought by a prominent promoter for £1.
-
And if he does not ride tonight then they will not merely have shot themselves in any lower limb left without a bullet hole but have turned off the KLS "life support".
-
As have the long drawn out BSPA negotiations. If the rumour I heard was that a prominent Championship team were going to take over the Rye House position in the Premiership and vice versa mid-season. That's a lot to talk about IF it is more than a rumour. A real House of Cards that would be. Has to be a fantasy?

I really hope that the rumours ( I stress the word rumours ) that NKI is not riding at the AFA are wrong. The KLS website does say he will be riding in the UK but the official team sheet there in Denmark also says the same. Without an in-form Iversen and MP Toft it will be a very difficult match. -
NO. All that" things will change and we will have a better relationship with fans". Buster cannot change his ways and he cares not one whit for the KLS fans. They might love the club but clearly, he does not or those fans who used to pour into Saddlebow Road.
-
More & More will obviously walk away from the KL Stars United V Some Other United. Ridiculous!
-
Does anyone know of the likely teams for Weds V Leicester? Rumours anyone re missing Danes? I did not start a new thread for this because there seems to be little interest in it.
