The gap between the two clubs in terms of rider's is massive, you can't tell me Peterborough's overheads are less than King's Lynn's. The way the teams were put together is chalk & cheese. It certainly gives the impression of caring far more for the Panthers than the Stars. Buster owns KL though doesn't he? Meaning he may get less watching there than he gets at Peterborough but still make more money than he would at Peterborough where he pays rent and wont get any anciliary income... We have seen a few times how successful seasons can actually help close tracks down due to the increase in outlay not being covered by an increase in crowds, so maybe having two succesful clubs could be a step too far?

Yes Buster owns the AFA. And no doubt Lynn needs less fans to break even. But He has had his beloved Lynn for over 20 years. Buys Peterborough, and neglects (imho) Lynn. Where the loyal fans have supported his team for decades. It don't sit well with me i'm afraid..I'm probably not the only one.. I'm not blaming Peterborough or their fans. Buster made the move by himself. But If he keeps things as they are with the two teams, some Stars fans will not bother, myself included. Lynn's team selection was shocking, and i suspect a good bit cheaper too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 who knows, maybe Kings Lynn will be all car racing and Peterborough for the speedway in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no World F1 Stox Final for the AFA this year... That must make a fair old dent in the coffers given how many attend it...

In the long term it would be desirable IMO for Speedway and Ice Hockey to be aligned at the same venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind Allitt putting Proctor out of his misery , getting rid of Proctor would put the majority of the Stars fans out of there misery. The sooner the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proctor the person is a good lad & everyone would wish him well. Proctor the rider is absolutely abysmal & needs to be gone. Absolutely nobody is attacking the person, in sport you need to understand the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Ty Proctor will retire from Speedway before the end of the season imo. I don't think he's enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
