Kings Lynn 2023


Recommended Posts

So Laguta has done his 3 ‘taster’ meetings now riding the 2 tracks he’d only previously ridden before in the UK, wonder when he’ll make the decision whether to continue riding here or not? The £5k a meeting might need to be reworked for the rest of the season if he does as there needs to be other changes to make the team competitive

A shame that another newcomer who could have been a breath of fresh air has gone (for now hopefully back) 

Too long a list over past decade. 

Forced out

Money runs out

Main income source affected 

Disillusion 

Those and other reasons. 

I'd imagine anyone running and funding Estate Agencies is in deep mess right now though, economy trashed, mortgage rates rising, cost of living crisis. Going to be a rocky few years for them. 

Hopefully Alex will be back

You can kiss goodbye to Laguta now, No way is Buster paying him 10k a night when KL's season is already over.

Now we know why Tungate isn't showing up at Peterborough now.

£10,000 :nono:

Well you go to bed and get up put this forum on and just what had happened ? 

So who’s  promoting now Alitt I guess recently a press release said Buster not financially involved - who’s paying Laguta wages ? think we shall soon find out hopefully it’s not the last we see of Laguta but can’t see Buster paying his wages . Some reports Jacobsen has quit as well so what is going on ? 
cue Simon Lambert in Jacobsen place it be a very different team if Buster paying the wage bill 

Please not Simon Lambert.

Sad to say it but This may be the end for Lynn speedway.

With Buster wanting out, Dale in hospital and now Brady gone. Who is paying the bills ?

Will KingsLynn finish the season ?

Lynn could end up just being a banger track. 

Hopefully someone will step in and take it over, but they will need deep pockets with money, as the crowds we are getting won’t pay the wages without someone putting money in. 

Maybe Jonathan Chapman may take control with his dad in the background ? 

Stewart Dickson has apparently offered to take over team management duties.

I was listing generic reasons for others. 

Didn't imply any financial issues at KL

Clearly Housing Sales market is in for a very difficult spell with mortgage rates rising and products being pulled. 

The bloke is 100% right to focus on family, own business and wellbeing as priority.

I’d be surprised if there any press release on the future of the club  for a few days to honest - there must be a lot to sort out getting to the seasons end must be priority and restoring a bit of pride if we finish ahead of Pboro in the league table guess that’s something then sort things out in the closed season .

BB do you know if Jakobsen rumours leaving are correct and what the reason is?

The manager at Grudziadz has said about Jakobsen no longer starting in UK, could be the Polish gettIng wrong end of stick on Sportowefakty site, who knows

A swap in sorts involving Lyon/NKI and Laguta would relieve some pressure on both clubs for Buster in the short term , but would require MT to fund Laguta and if hes allowed to join Peterborough that is with some mooted rules for extraliga riders

MT could also be in a good position to bargain further with Buster now to finally get his hands on Peterborough if theres a future for them that is ?

Well as much as rivals both clubs are to each other I think what has to happen is what’s best for both club’s survival or there will be no rivalry if one or even both close . Even the tone on this forum has changed both sets of posters from each club seem to have a common goal which is a definite positive.

I was going to put a laughing reaction to this but I think this season has taught us that you really can't rule anything out.
