will somebody please wake up and organise this sport in an affordable, credible way before its too late. 

Is this today? 

Or something copied and pasted during the past two decades or so..? :unsure:

And all to win something that very, very few even care about, or believe in...

Nor delivers any major publicity, large financial reward, or even significantly increased attendances the following season... 

They will never, ever, learn will they? 

Last one out, turn the lights off please..

Alex Brady has shafted Kings Lynn.

Signing Artem Laguta was not a good idea. 

I wouldn’t say signing artem was a bad idea. At the time Brady was there and funding it. 
 

looking back now it’s a bad idea. 
 

Buster shouldn’t have agreed to honour certain contracts when he couldn’t afford to. 
 

also what’s happened to supporting your club through the good times and the bad times.

I actually agree with you Brady had totally s###t on Lynn he might well have serious personal reasons to quit but his actions could well have single handedly finished the club .

Artem should've been released as soon as Brady stepped down.

Buster wouldn't even sign Tungate for Peterborough due to financial reasons therefore he was never going to have the resources to pay for Laguta without the clubs future being plunged into further doubt.

Pass the panthers on to MT who signs Laguta for the rest of the season

Something defo happened between Brady and Buster imo, I'm still not buying the family reasons idea.

Why would Brady sign a world class expensive rider when he's already planning to step down and leave the owner with a bill he can't afford to pay.

Brady also said that he's left the club in a healthy financial state which he clearly hasn't...........Something's very off here.

Only logical thing.

I watched the BSN stream last night on my season pass and theirs no way KL can afford Laguta with those attendances. 

You need deeper pockets than ever before in this game now and Buster doesn't have the resources for this day and age, Budget teams that are way below the points limit getting battered by 20+ every week will only turn more people away.

Brady should not have walked mid season, he should of stayed until the end, no excuses.

I still stick to what I said on night one.

Brady and Buster have had a falling out, I think the family reasons is just a polite way of not airing the dirty laundry out in public.

It really is simple, You don't sign a world class very expensive talent like Laguta when you're planning to call it a day with a couple of weeks knowing full well that the owner (Buster) would be left in a position where he doesn't have financial resources to cover the overall costs. 

Buster would never have agreed to let Brady sign Laguta if he knew that Brady was planning to walk either because it's not how he operates.

It's a two way street though mate. I'm not shelling out 22 quid plus petrol for a losing team and poor racing, and it seems many feel the same.

I know it’s up to you if you go to watch the Stars or not , but if everyone has the same attitude as you there won’t be any speedway at Lynn at all. I realise we all want to see a winning team and decent racing, but while the club keeps going there’s hope for the future.

I agree with your sentiment 100% but you’d not go in a restaurant every week if the food wasn’t good just cus you don’t want the restaurant to close - winning team isn’t the be all and end all  for many all we want is  good close racing feeling like you been entertained value for money ( certainly not worth £22 ) and for me not being taken for granted that you’ll turn up each week with 0% effort from the promotion to make fans feel valued. 
I certainly don’t want any club to close least of all Kings Lynn .

Thing is we don't know what is in the contract?

What would you spend 22 quid plus petrol on? A winning team and poor racing? A losing team and great racing? You can't just support a team when they're winning and leave everybody else to support them when they're losing to keep that club alive for you to attend when they start winning again... that's just not right for me. 

As a follower of Leicester & Long Eaton (in the bad old days), I've had my fair share of losing.

Normally I'd agree with you but this seems to be pretty existential stuff for Lynn

I wonder if this latest crisis is the way the KL promotion are going to announce to the Speedway world that Laguta won't be riding away matches?
