I think Buster needs to take some blame for the Stars starting 7 this season. No blame for the in match decisions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Allitt is a co promotor these days. Probably to take a bit of the work load from Buster, with 2 clubs to run. You could well be right Tel. It's possible Buster left the team building to Dale. I don't suppose we will ever know exactly. But i'm pretty sure Buster would of signed the team off, as he is the money man. I would like to know if the same person assembled both teams. If so, they could of evened them out a tad The panthers look an expensive team to me. Hans, Bjarne Bomber and Scotty, i doubt would be cheap for their averages. Where as Lynn, not so much. Anyway, it is what it is now. We have to try and make the most of it. We replace riders, but never seem any better off. It must be frustrating for Buster. Cause it sure is for me Edited July 9, 2021 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) I can’t believe Buster gave anyone any say in how his business is run. I would suggest Allitt might have done the leg work but the yes or no on each rider came from one man. The amazing thing is that Buster and Dale, both being experienced Speedway men could look at that team they had put together and think it had anything other than a wooden spoon look about it.

That has crossed many people's minds I'm sure, but it doesn't make any sense. The stadium would have an average inactivity of 5-6 days a week. Speedway meeting's & training / practice days a big part to mid week use. As much as cars are the biggest income for the stadium, I don't think the stadium would be financially viable if either sport was lost.

waytogo28 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Well, Well, Well, "Blame Me " says Buster. Some of us have been seeing it that way for quite some time and never believed that Buster would "fess up". Maybe, just maybe the next step towards a brighter Stars future will be if Buster can listen to other wiser heads in speedway and not go on believing that he knows all the answers.

I was at Scunthorpe last night and Heeps was absolutely dreadful. So was Starke he looked a completely different rider that got a lot of points at Lynn last week.

What does it say to you Starboy ? . It tells me whoever picked the 1-7 is not up to the job. Be it Dale or Buster, or both. If the same people picked both his teams. The mind boggles. Why couldn't they share the riders out a bit better if that was the case.? Cook.. Good signing.......Was nothing to do with his points tally, after 2 meetings. Either his anxiety, although he carried on riding. My guess it might of been an attitude thing, which his anxiety might of contributed to a degree. You don't upset Buster. As you know. Proctor.... Not so good..... Although he was on attractive average, there was a reason for it. He was showing signs in the 2019 season, backing off down the back straight a little, allowing others past. You need to 100% mentally. I wish Ty well, whatever he decides to do. Bridger.... Disaster signing..... Like Proctor... Another on an attractive average. But the red flags must of been huge. I'm sure he talked a good comeback. Every man and his dog must of thought, no way will he last. Probably cost Buster and others a good few quid helping him with equipment. Ryan Kinsley... Didn't really get a good chance. Was a casualty of the others maybe ? Replacements ......... They haven't done many meetings to be fair. But so far.. Lawson... Would of fitted for Ty or Bridger from the start. Been fantastic.. Heeps...... Looked like he was on a moped against Ippo. Didn't go well last night in the Championship either. For a bit of a Lynn track specialist, whats wrong.10 rides/7 points. Is he still injured?? Wells..... 11 rides/9 points. Mountain.... 11 rides/4 points. What are your views Starboy118.

Racin Jason 72 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Heeps was brilliant in 19. He lost weight and got really trim and physically fit and reaped the benefits. he now seems to have regained the weight and isn’t effective. I would argue if he got fit again he could do a job but at the moment I think he will disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
