The current promotion have pretty much zero ambition and until that changes Lynn will always be around the bottom of the table 

Rob Lyon is an excellent team manager as he showed whilst at Peterborough, the problems at Lynn stem from the very top and nothing will change whilst he is in charge.

When the team was announced I wasn’t too pleased they had signed Cook and Castagna.Cook let us down big time last year.I always thought where he gates he stays or goes further back.I don't think I have seen him overtake anyone yet in the Stars kevlars.And the signing of Castagna blew my mind,he isn't that good in the Championship.

Regards the track,that has been awful the last couple of meetings.Dust from the off and all meeting long.Need to get Buster back on it asap.

Maybe he should put his Poole kevlars on, did plenty of overtaking when Poole rode there last

Jordan Jenkins has replaced Paco Castagna 👍🏻 you heard it here first 

King's Lynn running with 3 Rising Stars then. Even though it sounds ridiculous, it's better than Castagna.

Technically we are yes, but it’s still better than Castagna as you said 👍🏻 Castagna has scored 0 at least 3 times now, maybe more 🤷🏻‍♂️ I count Monday just gone as 0 because he only scored 1 against Leicester because Fricke packed up

One of the biggest myths in speedway.

Only have to look at the composition of the teams built and also riders chosen for a clay based home track....

I've said it many times & I'll say it again.

Jonathan Chapman is the biggest miss to this club & British Speedway overall.

I'm absolutely convinced we'd of had a top flight title with him by now.

Probably,but off the back of who?It would still have been Buster wouldn't it.

Far, far too progressive for the dinosaurs whose hobby he could have threatened...

Probably, but he had a 'Speculate to Accumulate' attitude which was working. Advertisements across the region in a 20/30 mile radius. Tiny initiatives on race days that kept kids & teens entertained during breaks / stoppages. All sorts of things happening. Importantly, the teams were always competitive too.

Right from the day he left you could visibly see the decline in standards throughout.

Same thing happened when he was in charge of the British Speedway events.

He created a huge uplift in individual & team events, fans returned through the turnstiles to previously struggling meetings.

Absolutely convinced King's Lynn would of had a league title (finally) & he had the minerals to push British Speedway forward to be competitive against the fight with the growth of Polish Ekstraliga.
