Lawson will teach him about the power of the bonus point.

Agreed as we have said in the perfect world Buster doesn't want to be running Lynn but there's no buyers for the club so he keeps it running but wants to keep losses to the bone which is fair enough but like the flood of motor home gags flying out from north of the border you will always get blokes having banter hence my name tag from one of Lynn's most famous nights/lore.

that is one of the benefits of AI they actually had the framework of the vaccine sorted in one morning.

Better hope not as there doesn't seem to be a que to take over

Some brilliant names in that list halcyon days for sure sadly missed.

Wonder if he would be willing to double up to give his confidence a boost

Think your spot on he builds team's to win at home and losses to be paired to the bone as much as possible its a shame the team's not doing better especially with the two young lads going well at reserve, Paco a weak link but who do you get in ? but if the other four all clicked to back up the young boys they would surprise a few of the other teams. Any idea how things are with sponsorship these days bald bloke I stopped going early 90's but wasn't there a fella called Roger Warne's who pumped a lot of money into the club is he still involved in any way ?

Any sign of the pit gate in the biblical floods ?

I think his heart is in the right place its his methods that are questionable, he's saved a few tracks over the years and would love to be out of Lynn but can't even give it away with the sport as it currently is, he must have poured hundreds of thousands into the game over the years. I don't know him personally but having been to a few talk in's with him over the years my impression is if in the wrong mood he's blunt and can rub people up the wrong way in uber quick time and he's stubborn.

I wish them all the best as we know they have a huge task on their hands that sadly beat the likes of John Berry, Chris Louis, Jonathon Chapman and Adrian Smith etc. To be honest the sport was starting to struggle when I started going in 1984 it had lost Penhall and shortly after lost Carter and Sanders every year in winter 2-3 tracks were in trouble but there were normally 2-3 people ready to step in and take over the track/s where now days there is minimal interest from new outside promoters. Buster does take a lot of flak (a lot of which is fair) but he has kept Lynn running when he doesn't really want to be involved, he also wants to keep losses to a minimum now he's getting on a bit and as far as I'm aware there's been near zero interest in anyone taking the team off his hands.

Agreed embarrassing.

Can you let us know if the famous pit gate is residing in Northampton today also just thinking could build the defense for the call off if its on holiday.

The speed dial will be heading Rambo Lambo's way at some point he's always Buster's fall back.

Personally think two things killed Cardiff it never seemed to get good crowds post covid and the year Bewley one it the track was terrible/a disgrace that was in my opinion the final nail in the coffin.

Plus they tried a few gp's in Aussie but eventually that was axed also, could have done with trying to get one in the USA when Hancock was either champ/near the top but that never happened guessing again due to costs of getting all the equipment over to California.

He's been a loyal servant but he's not the answer they need to try and find someone from abroad Workington and Oxford have proven there are unpolished gems out there.

Massive result if that's the case.

Is this one of Harry's new idea's to expand the reach of the sport ?

All sensible stuff by the sounds of it, personally think the gp could do with being pared back to 6 rounds ideally, interesting he mentions those looking to move the needle maybe he's referring to Harry and Linda's massive efforts behind the scenes. Also he mentions get the GP back on track financially which seems to indicate at one point it was at least breaking even I wonder when it all started to go wrong, maybe Flagrag might have an insight given he seems close to the media side of things, interested in hearing any views on this if anyone has anything to add.

Hi can you expand on the gist of the article in the star a bit can't get it where I live thanks.

How are the crowds compared to this time last year 60-70% of 2025 levels ?

Cos I do excuse the spelling I should have tried harder at school.

Nail on the head Cairn's, Rushden and Scott are the three best English youngsters by a country mile, Hagon has probably found his level alternating between reserve and second string but the other three so long as properly handled should be core England squad members for many years to come once they hit early - mid twenties. All at some point should also all be potential gp riders.

I'm not knocking it Blobby in fact I'm thinking having ad-hoc guests could help the sport out if Belle Vue for instance could get Emil or Jepsen Jensen in say for 3-4 meetings to part cover Bewley crowds you would think would be pretty good to offset the cost.

Lets be honest as soon as they got them two youngsters in at 6 and 7 barring injuries it was game over, normally to get one rider who can add four points to his starting average should win you the league let alone two. Throw in Lawson who is one of the top three riders in the league, Zach Cook who is to good now for the championship by far, Kerr who is capable of getting anywhere between 3 and 15 on a standard night, Newman who has ridden above expectations and being blessed in not having Bowes available which has strengthened them. Any team who got them two lads at reserve, so long as the promoter had even a tad bit of ambition was going to win the league baring injuries it's just as well they didn't get Beau Bailey for Bowes in the end as that would have been another possible 8 point rider coming in on 4 starting average.
