Just what shifty Chapman deserves for all the under hand dealings and stupid antics he’s been up to. The common denominator with these deals going pear shaped is Chapman. Over the years he has fallen out with everyone. You will never get to the facts because Chapman is a devious little sh*t who doesn’t tell the truth. Most people, even them that have stood up for Chapman, now realise what a dodgy untrustworthy bloke he is and what’s happening at KL and PB is all down to him. He has brought all of this on himself as what goes around comes around. The fans of both clubs deserve better. 

Your not a fan then.

Another 6 weeks 7 at a push allowing for rain offs and or others reasons for call offs the season will be over for Kings Lynn so little point in any changes now - hopefully now potential new promoter is already in contact with Buster and hopefully talks are already taking place regarding 2024 season as can anyone really see Buster carrying on running the speedway at KL beyond the end of August 2023 .

How shocked and apologetic might you be if he keeps Laguta?

100% shocked and 0% apologetic

Buster needs to find some cash because KL don't have a pot to pish in apparently.

To be honest I wouldn't know but then neither does anyone else yet. If you look back over the various threads associated with King's Lynn and the vitriol towards Buster it is too often based on a poster's opinion, comment or thought and not facts, I'm weary of it and I know I don't have to read it but I genuinely feel that so many negative posts are as equally harmful to the sport as some of the decisions made within it.

Buster had both clubs pre-sold and was on his exit route when for whatever reason it all went pear shaped, it takes two parties to make a deal and only one to break it - which party is really responsible will never truly be known. In the case of both of Buster's clubs so called; friends, acquaintances, people "in the know" and even the haters have given opinions but if the truth is out there it's clear no-one believes it.

The sale and/or exchange of a business is usually preceded by a "Heads of Terms " agreement that usually includes a confidentiality agreement that restricts those involved as to what if anything they can reveal and unless a sunset clause is embodied it can last forever. 

Did the sale of these businesses get that far? Who knows? That is my point - nobody really knows except those directly involved and I don't see them posting on this forum.

That's how i see it. Lets just hope both come to tapes in 24, in whatever league that fits their budgets.

It will be a guest if Laguta leaves.

Surely they can't be given a facility if they decide to cut ties with a rider due to budget cuts.....Then again it is British Speedway after all where the majority of the rulebook means nothing.

Oh don’t be sure TTT, a phone call from dodgy Chapman to this dopey mate Godfrey and bingo. They’ll concoct something or other!

Presumably it will only be English food he doesn't like, Polish food ok.

No worse than the Pedersen fiasco.

KK has a broken leg does he not?

Also if Buster is making a 'fortune' from crap beer and food then that's great business acumen!

Poor chap, didn't know that. 

I've not commented about beer & food. However, my view would be that if people are stupid enough to part with money for rubbish food & drink, and there's no law against selling it, then it is indeed good business acumen. But I wouldn't do it.

Yep apologies, just added that bit in as a general afterthought.

Good news is lynn are deffo back next week from what I’m told

Surely this topic has run it's course now folks.

I hope Artem Laguta remains with us, but of course I fear he won't, as I would imagine he must be expensive.

Whether you like or dislike Keith Chapman, he's trying to find a way of keeping our club running beyond this season, and we should be supporting him in those efforts, not slagging him off all the time for what he may, or may not have been doing to our liking in the past, and even now. 

It's obvious that he's buying time whilst he can find a buyer for the speedway club instead of taking the easy way out, and withdrawing us from the league. So surely he deserves the support of all true King's Lynn fans to encourage him, whilst the search continues.  It's a terrible shame that Alex had to leave due to his personal situation at the moment, even though his departure was ill timed, but we can't change what has happened, we can only encourage what might happen going forward.

£4.50 for a portion of frozen chips approx 24 chips. Is that not extortionate?

I can assure you that wholesale frozen chips are a lot cheaper than that !!

Ok, I’m not a big fan of tractor man Chapman mainly for the damage he’s caused to our sport during him being chairman and Co chairman with the equally stupid Godfrey of the BSPA and also the way he’s irresponsibly mismanaged KL and PB and plunged both them clubs into being joke. Don’t be fooled by deceitful Chapman he is only looking after his own self interest to keep KL running so he can rent out his shi*thole stadium to another poor looser. He’s clearly had enough of speedway now that he’s run it into the ground and had his fingers burned and says he hasn’t the money so wants away. How pathetic!
