TTT Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 KL fans will have to turn up in numbers every week now and support a losing team otherwise Laguta will be off in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only tell you this, from my chat with Alex as of late last night.

Well I think Laguta leaving is a dead cert if Buster won’t fund Tungate at Pboro he ain’t going to pay for Laguta - guess the difference is Laguta is already at the club where as Tungate isn’t at Pboro time will tell . For whatever reasons Alex decided to quit the club and I’m sure they was very real reasons he has left the club in somewhat turmoil and Buster is there as club owner to pick up the pieces does seem a bit harsh to just walk away and let Buster sort the mess out .

Going to be a rocky few years for them. Then you imagine wrong. Our company is in a very good place right now, still selling property, letting property, commercial, agriculture and auctions. People are still spending money, particularly high end property. We have a lot more income streams than you probably imagine with Redbook / Survey's and Probate work from Solicitors, as well as managing estates around the country. And any of the smaller agents, if they've put money aside during the Boom that we have just had, will ride it out if they manage it correctly. And for the work they do now, they'll put their fees up. Alex's company is very well known in our circles and his success with his partner Jamie is well documented. He must be the market leader I would have thought in Norfolk, or close to it. They also wont be the type of agent that "gives their service away for nothing". They'll command good fees for the work they do. So no, unlike British Speedway, we are not in a "deep mess right now".

From Buster “It’s a fact that we now have a team which is over budget, and we’ve absolutely got to get people in to support us to make it work out – plus I’d urge anyone interested in sponsoring us to please get in touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Alex's financially healthy, isn't Busters. I can only say what i was told on this matter. But we know Buster likes a budget.

Bagpuss Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Sounds like the groundwork is being laid by Buster to field an even worse team for the rest of the season.....he's appealing for people to turn up and support but that ain't going to happen with no Laguta. And it'll have a knock on effect at away tracks too. Would rather the club packed up for the year and came back in 2024 at a lower level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct the foundations are being laid for a worse team think that’s obvious- it’s not that simple just packing up for the season wouldn’t the club lose it bond money and probably the licence . Won’t be long before the use it or lose it cry goes out - this now also has a knock on effect to Pboro as well Buster responsible financially for both clubs . As for 2024 got get through this season first . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW436 Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I can see a situation where Peterborough and Kings Lynn join up together to form a side, especially since there doesn’t seem to be much progress for speedway remaining in Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 What an absolute mess! Brady has clearly bitten off more than he can chew and bailed out. Anyone who thinks otherwise must be mental. Both Lynn and Peterborough in an absolute mess. Has British Speedway ever been in such a mess? Certainly not in my life time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
