The jubilant scenes from the 5k+ that attended the final, coupled with the celebrations from management, riders and staff, definitely proves it was worth winning 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leicester had won the first leg 60-30, there wouldn't have been 2,000 there .. And 500 of them would have been from Leicester...😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich get that for run of the mill League meetings with nothing at stake. It’s a shame every club isn’t as well supported, the sport wouldn’t be in half the mess it currently is in this Country. Your GP Star was certainly wowed by the occasion! Scenes he’s never experienced at the wonderful NSS 😉 Every supporter of every club thinks it’s worth winning, until they have no chance of the play offs or get knocked out of them. Then it’s suddenly all worthless and not worth winning. We all know the drill. Even this years shambles is worth winning. The winners will have a title win etched on to their honours list. It won’t have an asterisk accompanying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Shaleman Posted Wednesday at 06:47 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:47 PM Looking forward to seeing Stars in action. To me there seems to be plenty of entertainers in the team. That’s great. A few years ago there were those who disappointed on that score. No names, no pack drill. I can accept defeats (we’ve seen a few !) but if riders try all the way, I will clap and support. I like to be entertained so if you win the race, pick up the flag, wheelies, wave but no straight back to the pits unless extenuating circumstances. Because of where I live, it costs me thousands of pounds to see the Stars each year. No complaints on that score but I do love telling people what a good night it has been. This year’s team looks set to deliver. Well done to Keith, Rob, Dale and the KL speedway team. Cant wait to get trackside. Boy was it cold for Nicolai testimonial. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit odd though that he told Lynn early on that he wasn't coming back and then had a whinge on social media that he didn't have a Prem spot. I'd always have him back at Lynn in the future, has been a very good servant since 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Shaleman Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Shocked Speedway Star used Hawkins to preview season. Hardly a neutral and to me it shone through in his words about the Stars - or am I too sensitive to anything that comes out of the cauldron?

Watch on Youtube Nice words from him about the new management at Ipswich though. He hasn’t been the first to compliment them either. Actions speak louder than words obviously but it’s encouraging all the same from an Ipswich perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch on Youtube I don't think he 'slagged' anyone, was a light hearted dig. Interesting though that he talked about a 'numbers game' (which is what I originally thought once Fricke was in the frame) whereas Lynn say he never wanted to be back. Both could of course be true at various points in the winter, as we know riders set out for the best deal they can get and play clubs off against eachother, and clubs can change their minds on their 1-7 if riders become available. Adds a little spice to the East Anglian derbies if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
