Speedball Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Just had a look back at my programmes, think it was 1986. We won 42-36 at Swindon on 07/09. Meeting was a double header with Oxford. Also noticed we won at Reading 40-38 on 22/09 but didn’t pick up a league point at home. We did win against Belle Vue (47-31) and drew at home to Bradford & Cradley (39-39) in the League Cup.

Be nice if Kings Lynn publicly apologised to the fans over the Bridger debacle. Every man and his dog knew he wouldn't last yet they still wasted money setting him up in the team with all the associated gear (money that quite frankly could have been better spent elsewhere) if you stand up and say we believe in this chump then Lings Lynn have to accept responsibility when it goes wrong 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any but there are limited number 1s in the league anyway and they are grouped in 3 teams anyway. With Bridger gone and Proctor struggling badly two changes bringing strength in depth is the only route. Limited options still but Starke is going ok and Sam Jensen from Glasgow could be worth a punt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Cookie was but he's gone for one reason or another. No No.1's out there in the UK. But we must use all of the points available to give us the best chance. I think us Stars fans deserve atop tier title after over 50 years. Not that its going to happen this season. I'd be more than happy if Buster moved the Panthers on. He says he is taking more of a back seat now. But whoever is picking the Stars team this season don't seem on it, at all. Maybe he wouldn't have to if he just had Lynn, and not 2 teams to find.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 How times have changed now whos doing all the moaning , When Buster purchased the Panthers and then ripped up the decent looking team that had been put together, the lynn fans constantly called the Panthers fans aload of moaning whingers , now perhaps you realise that it wasnt moaning after all, it was in fact just wanting better than what was on show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allitt has never been a good manager or promoter going back to his young stars day. Young stars had a team of Lambert, Worrall, Kerr, Rose and still couldn't win the league.

But Buster had had his beloved King's Lynn Stars for over 20 years. We have been waiting forever to win the top tier. Then he goes and stretches himself by saving the Panthers. It can't do Lynn any good, him/ someone having to find 2 teams. Buster saved you and people was still moaning about your team. Flip it around and i wonder what some of you would of thought about your long standing owner saving a team, and that still wasn't good enough.

We could of started with Lawson for Bridger, and MPT instead of Ty. We might of had MPT if Buster didn't have to keep 2 sets of fans happy. Agree we need better decision making for sure.

Sings4Speedway Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 But did Buster keep the top tier afloat because it was best for British speedway or because he wanted to keep his beloved Stars in the top flight? For reasons unknown to the greater world its fairly clear he is against one big league, north/south leagues or anything that that means his home team doesn't remain in the elite premiership or whatever other re-brand will come along.

Thats all There was no ‘saving’ to be done - Peterborough was thriving and would have continued to do so. The Club was profitable and in good order when it was sold.

Do you know why it was sold if going so well, and was there any other person willing to buy it. I honestly don't know. If there was no chance of the club not running, and there was more than just Buster wanting it, i guess Buster might of been greedy in some peoples eyes, in that case.

Warriors Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It definitely needs to be one big league next year, because what we're watching at the moment is definitely not premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its enough of a Joke now with Buster owning two teams in the same league. Make it "one big league" and Bates will have two teams as well. Buster didn't buy Peterborough just to allow one big league to happen a year or two later, there is a top flight elitism agenda at play. Of course several clubs could tire of all the nonsense gather together and form a breakaway league....how to best incentivise that i don't know? maybe allowing clubs to make their own decisions and use race nights that best suits their client base would be a good starting point.
