It’s a problem across the board unfortunately not just Kings Lynn. Some are better than others, but not by much. It just shows a complete disregard for your paying customers and is extremely lazy. Agree and while its absolutely not an excuse this is one of the issues of outsourcing media duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Well, it's the hope that kills you, isn't Stars fans?? So, what's your opinion on the season?? Whose to blame?? What's the future?? _________________________ In terms of blame & future, King's Lynn is a club just existing. That's it, existing. This management has a clear proven record of not even trying. Giving fans zero hope or giving anything back. Year after year it's a clear take, take, take message from King's Lynn Speedway with the full understanding that you'll all be back next year anyway to sup up more pain. There will be a time when fans turn on their heels & say "fack you". It's coming. Let's be frank here. 2026 is an embarrassment. Ipswich's existence was dead almost right up to March but yet they still managed to scrape a team together to still be better than King's Lynn. The only blame for that is King's Lynn's management, refusing to be aggressive & removing poor performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats only 0.13 more than Kvech at home, and 0.15 more than Harris . Nowhere near good enough, we must win all the home meetings at a minimum if we are to get in the play offs.

Greg Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I would only keep 3 rider from this year Jan Cooper and Jody. Edited 3 hours ago by Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is at fault for that?? It's not up to Fricke as to whether he is employed or not. This management accepts failure for as long as fans keep turning up. No rider can be accountable, change is the responsibility of the management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Who are the riders, of the needed capability, who the clubs can sign?... Plenty get asked, plenty say they have enough on their plate already.... For me, Kings Lynn seemed to do better in tier two, both success wise and crowd numbers... Some clubs are just seem "organically" suited to a particular league, yet some decide to move into a higher bracket which they then struggle in...

Last I heard the Lynn management are only interested in top tier speedway. There's something not right somewhere along the line at Lynn, not sure what. This years side should have finished top four at a canter, I would argue only the two youngsters have met expectations. Fricke is averaging about three points less than he should be at home but has held the team together away at times. If he wants to come back Id have him due to his average but apart from him, Jody and Cooper I'd clear the rest out and freshen things up. And provide them with a track they can actually race on.

Deliver that, wouldn't that benefit Cook & Kvech also?? 1 hour ago, mikebv said: Who are the riders, of the needed capability, who the clubs can sign?...

If you've got a team not delivering at least be entertaining. If you have riders happy to sit in position on track if they miss the start, get rid. I'd much rather see a 5 pointer risking life or death every week that someone being a 7 pointer and not bothering. What's the point in Fricke, Cook and Kvech to be losing at home anyway?? To fans, 100% blood and guts and they would love them. Effort count for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clay surface also doesn't always lend itself to take too many risks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
