  1. *ahem* do not forget King's Lynn Stars 2006 and then 2009 teams The team of 2006 was probably the better of the two for us I think, personally speaking. Congratz to Edinburgh on this years treble any how
  2. Looks like it won't be back... I asked "Rigsby" on Twitter earlier about the unofficial forum vanishing and he said this "Yup! That's PL & a Horton/Swales production for you. I gave it a go but It's done me in & if we survive it's virtually same as." So there ya go! Are you by any chance referring to me mister?!
  3. I actually hadn't thought of it being Halloween that night...until I came on here but yeah, I can't be doing with it. Get me out of here! Someone made a similar comment to Mark Plummer on Twitter either yesterday or the day before and Plummer said it would be going on the club's own Twitter/Facebookwebsite...but when, I do not have a bloody clue! Thomas Jorgensen not at Scunthorpe? How come? What have I missed?! I really like him. Think he can be entertaining and exciting! I'm not local either *cough* Stars fan first by rights *cough* but I'm travelling from 20 miles from the other side of King's Lynn near the North Norfolk coast for this, so I hope many others also make a similar effort. If they're that bothered about speedway remaining in the city, they should make themselves known.
  4. Me too American rubbish Halloween if you ask me
  5. Ha! Noodles I had just copied the same thing to post on here but you've beaten me to it...again
  6. I can't believe that teams are being mentioned when it's still not been confirmed that the club will run next year...but I suppose we all need something to talk about!
  7. I'm holding on to my optimism that the Panthers will come to the tapes again next year I thought Rathbone and Swales wouldn't let the club fold without attempting to do something to try and save it. Here's hoping that it all comes to something. I'm actually looking forward to this fans' forum. Could be interesting. Whatever the date, I will try and be present as I'd like to hear what has to be said and it seems that anyone who's interested in the club staying open for 2015 are encouraged to make an appearance anyway... With regards to Panthers needing to be "at the top"...er...what top? The Elite League is certainly not what it was. Most of the "big names" have gone and probably won't come back anytime soon. Well AJ might go back to Lakeside so it appears but we all know that Woffinden has expressed that he'd like one race night a week (Monday) and I can't see that working as not every club is as fortunate as King's Lynn where they own the stadium and can do as they like with it. Generally speaking, most speedway is at a track where they share it with other events and the promotion rents it off of the stadium owner i.e stockcar/greyhound businesses and such like. In those situations, speedway just goes on whatever evening is free. I wouldn't mind a set race night, but I doubt it'd work, for the reasons I've mentioned. Anyway, will there even be an EL next season? The league structure could change and who knows where speedway's concerned. Nothing seems set in stone for the long term. Things seem to be looked at in a short term way. There doesn't seem to be any real consistency. Basically, if the Panthers stay in the PL, I'll be happy.
  8. You've beaten me to it Noodles! I was about to post the same news story! Depending on the date, I'd like to be present to hear what has to be said
  9. Still keeping my fingers crossed for you guys I know I'm lucky to still have my club security to a certain degree at King's Lynn, but I don't know what I'll do if I just have to stick to one local track again, as the racing at Lynn itself has been overrated for the past couple of seasons in my opinion I certainly don't fancy regular visits to Ipswich instead! I've always enjoyed my visits to Peterborough in comparison. I just keep hoping that someone will purchase the club and they'll continue to race in 2015. I'll try and keep popping back in here to see what's happening. I'd actually vanished completely for a few weeks again and feel a bit out of the loop
  10. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that speedway still continues at the EoES in 2015...but like some others, I'm not overly confident I really hope I'm proved wrong. Got to try and stay positive.
  11. In doubt?! What have the Newcastle promotion said? Haven't managed to get this weeks Speedway Star yet... I was hoping to get to this fixture on my way home to Norfolk from Leicestershire. Please don't say they're going to change it! It just slots in perfectly with my schedule next weekend
  12. Swap?! Well I'm not so sure about that. I'm not trying to say I don't enjoy the EL...but the racing over the past two seasons at least, generally speaking, has been better at Peterborough. No matter whether it's PL or EL, I just like the track. I can produce some great racing. Yes, I am repeating myself a lot on that subject these days on here but hey ho I have been going to Peterborough fairly regularly since 2010 and that was when we were PL, but I was also going to Peterborough as a "neutral" when we were both EL, so you know, it makes no difference to me personally which league either club is in At present, I'm still wondering if the league system will stay as it is for next year, but that's another topic subject entirely!
  13. A bigger flop than what is in place at present Nah, that's a bit harsh. The only flop is the race night...and the team replacements due to injuries. The PL, racing wise, I still enjoy. I suppose the club don't have much to speak of at present
  14. I hope not! Would see that being an even bigger flop myself anyway...
  15. Well I should be there Watching Ostergaard around the EoESthese days is very good anyway
  16. I wouldn't be surprised if money was the issue either...
  17. Happy retirement to Daniel Nermark I wish him well in whatever he does next. Lynn certainly got the best out of him in the 2006/2007 seasons I think, but even for Birmingham this year, I thought he still looked decent. Glad I saw him race earlier this season now!
  18. That's why I put all those tongue smilies afterwards I never believe a word that comes out of their mouth!
  19. I've already been told by a few Panthers supporters that I've been "adopted" so...you know...I'm not going to deny that I like Peterborough, even though they are local rivals. I was dressed rather appropriately last Sunday as I was in black and red attire conveniently LOL! The racing at Peterborough can be better than that at King's Lynn. I've said that now for some time and my view has not changed. In the past couple of years, the racing at the Norfolk Arena has become somewhat processional, but the last home meeting v Lakeside was good. I actually went home feeling rather entertained
  20. The Panthers don't need to win me over by having some of our riders riding for them anyway. I was won over years ago by the racing there I think Robert Lambert was approached but I believe the move was blocked by the BSPA - don't quote me on that though as I'm not 100% certain! As long as Peterborough has speedway at the EoES, I will always try and make it there. I would've tried getting over there every home meeting this year...if it had been on a better night than a Tuesday! Sundays would be good, but I'd happily take a Friday evening or a Saturday evening Sadly, I think that all depends on what events the Arena people next door are holding... You seem to be told a lot of things don't you...KKS :P :P
  21. I think the first priority should be ensuring that speedway continues to run at the EoES next year, let alone thinking about who will be in the team! If speedway isn't at Peterborough next year, I think I might weep
