Only time will tell,but many did say the same last year and we managed to have a good season.Don't mind being the underdogs again

KLFAN,that's a premonition if E.Riss is the last rider and if i got the averages correct

Bit like C.Holder whilst riding for Poole,he just nipped between the gaps between the home and away pits.Lazy git

I don't really like the charge for car parking but i'm not totally against it.I'm with Bagpuss and expected it a few years ago anyway.People won't like the charge,who does like paying extra.But it would bring us in line with many clubs who have been charging years,and more than £1.You go to many sporting events and they will charge you for parking and you could put an extra digit in front of that £1 too. On a side note it's cost me £16 this last couple of weeks in charges for 4 appointments at the QE hospital.Now that gets my goat charging poorly people to park.

It was a few years ago now,well only 3,my memory isn't that great.But i do know that he is a KL asset.As i said i was told by his mechanic who i know very well at KL when practicing in readiness for the British Final.Danny was just returning from injury hence him practicing on a Sunday during an amateur meeting.

See Hugh Skidmore and Korey Williams(Kozza) there.

Pretty sure Danny King was one.Remember watching him practising at Lynn just before he won the British Final and someone telling me he is a Lynn asset,due to when Buster took on Mildenhall.

Remember AJ,BJ,and Fishdog riding for the Bees a few years ago.I would take him in place of TJ though i think,although his best years are behind him.

There wouldn't be enough hours in the day to keep putting out press releases/news regarding speculation,rumours especially that arise from this forum.If Neil and Ged are still the promoters and nothing has changed why should the club have make a news item to say all these rumours are untrue.As i said not enough hours in the day to keep putting out news bulletins regarding rumours that 90% of the time start on here. Now if they have left then things are different and you would expect the club to make an announcement straight away.

I too would like to see a decent 2nd heatleader.I'm hoping Riss will make that step up.He seems professional and determined and is always upset when he don't score well. I agree we did well in hts 13 and 15 but had NKI had done it in his easier rides we wouldn't have needed that.This is not knocking NKI but maybe he should have sat last season out regarding his injury.Many people lambasted Holder the season before for dropping his average the same. I would like to see NKI back because of his low average,having said that you will have to then look at a lesser rider than one of the other 3 to whoever you replace.

All riders look different?There was only the odd one really,truth be known

Lambert will be alright,he managed without NKI most of last season.Anyway they never really saw eye to eye did they.

And i never mentioned about not giving a hoot who the riders are.I'm sure most will agree that 99% of us who attend want to see a competetive team,nobody wants to see their team fail do they?.Only maybe Daniel Smith as he has quoted that before because of his dislike towards Buster. And i didn't call most of you doom mongers.I said the only ones who seem worried about the naming of riders are the doom mongers on here.That's not most only the ones who applySo you have really implied most are doom mongers

Think you took that the wrong way. I am not bothered about when they name the riders. We know they will be named before the start of the season. I never once said I don't give a hoot who the riders are. I want a competitive side like everyone else, think that stands to reason. So you really need to read my post a bit better

Yes crowds were good,but wasn't much else to do back then in reality.Are crowds smaller now because they haven't moved on?Racing to me seems pretty much the same.I still watch some matches from the 70's and 80's and there were plenty of dull races then.People just thought it was better because of the bigger crowds and better atmosphere.

Whilst i agree with the racing side of it,i also think as it's a team sport you should all look the same like in every other team sport.People moan and groan about speedway being stuck in the 70's and 80's well having no team kevlars is one that is still from that era.

The only ones who seem worried about the naming of riders are the doom mongers on here.The rest don't seem too worried about it all.We know there will be 7 riders come April that's all that matters really imo.

Great post,love a bit of news each week to keep most interested. I can't believe though,some don't like the idea of spreading the announcement of riders as the club have done this season,but actually like yours when spread over 10 weeks.Some really are fickle

He did want Redcar originally back in 2014 i think it was.Does he want to get involved up there?I take it his business is still there.

MPT replaced Rose not Andersen.

Do you think Andersen will be alongside S.Lambert?I don't.

I know you will probably take this the wrong way as you don't really like my opinion if it differs to yours but,you say we were fortunate with our injuries/replacements and facing teams with terrible injuries which made our results look good.Really only Belle Vue spring to mind and Wolves with Schlein missing,but then the other teams had to face these in the league with the same riders missing.It normally balances itself out in that respect.So as you say we were fortunate because of that.Doesn't that then make us unfortunate to lose the final because of the same that happened to us,but you say we blew it.

Quite agree. That's what I'm trying to say is that the use of social media by the clubs don't impact on the crowds. Lucky I started taking my daughter to speedway from a young age, and she still loves it now. She's 20 now so can now take me.

It didn't effect their dwindling support unfortunately though.It's not the social media,twitter etc that affect the support imo as Lakeside would still be here now.There is just so much else to do nowadays.There was no social media etc back in the 60s,70s,80s the attendances were better imo as there just wasn't anything else to do. Remember dad saying you can stay at nan and grandad's tonight or go to the speedway,speedway won every time.Now it would be do you want to go to the speedway or spend the next few hours on playstation,xbox watch whatever you want on tv.And thats just staying in doors.

Your not into fitness now are you lynnboy.The only weights i remember you doing was lifting pints of beer,and fitness wise running away from the ladies down the reeperbahn in Hamburg who wanted money for favours
