Amazes me Buster changes the centre green from grass to concrete then where does all the water run. You’ve all guessed it on the track causing it to be waterlogged. What a knob.

The sooner Buster does one permanently the better off the Sport will be in this country.

He's had a number of riders walk out on him, He's also rubbed a number of Clubs up the wrong way with his shenanigans and sadly he's dragging the entire Premiership down with him.

It's due to cowboys like him why the Sport doesn't get taken seriously in this country anymore.

That was one of the reasons we stopped attending absolutely no urgency to get the meeting completed 15 heats is 15 heats if it’s over hour and a half or 3 hours but on a Monday or Thursday evening keeping the meeting flowing should be top priority but sadly it isn’t - speedway in this country needs a total reset 15 heats for £25 is way to expensive for what’s on offer basically 15 minutes racing - we’ve not been to Kings Lynn since August 2021 v Peterborough have I missed it definitely not and this comes from someone who arranged his whole life around speedway especially Kings Lynn .

With all due respect, most if not all, meetings this season have been run really well and have been completed by around 9.15pm and well before 9.30pm, obviously as you have not attended this season you wouldn't realise that but feel you can comment witout the facts

Unfortunatly last night was later finishing due to several reasons, a couple of heavy falls, several restarted heats plus additional track grading and watering in an attempt to keep the dust down under difficult weather conditions, hot, sunny and breezy, which dried the track very quickly, personally i prefer not to be covered in dust which would have been the case if the extra watering had not taken place, even you would agree that all tjese things were beyond the control of the Kings Lynn promotion !

Also televised/streamed meetings tend to run for a couple of hours do they not? A three hour broadcast with half an hour each end for build up/analysis? Last night finished just after half 9. 

Most meetings this year have been done by 9:15, any quicker than that and personally I'd feel short changed.

And what happened to Speedway Futures? 

Big plans Linda in the travel lodge room with four team names in a used mcdonalds brown bag pulling the teams out for the play off's and probably earning 2-3k for five minutes work.

I'm sure Northampton would love to find a top heat leader somewhere but even someone who can consistently chip in with 5 or 6 instead of Batchelor would turn some of these near misses into wins.

Spot on but as we all know even a new consistent 5-6 point man in the top league is impossible to find.

He’s not knowledgeable like his father.

But does smile occasionally unlike Pete with the permanent grimace.

Strange decision by Adams to put Lidsey in heat 15, should've been Klindt surely? 

I wasn't at the match, but considering Lidsey beat Klindt in heat 13 & had scored 10 points, I wouldn't call it a strange decision.

Sounds like the had a choice of 3 options, none of them wrong.

I would.  Lidsey is even more of gating tart than Klindt (who had only been beaten in heat 13) and was passed easily in heat 13.  The only reason I can think is that Klindt said he didn't want to do it.

Would agree with that, don't think there was a huge amount between all three, could have been any combination really. Niels was obviously the right choice and had won heat 14 but either of the other two would have checked out had they gated.

Don't think Lidsey would have but Klindt yes. Lidsey was easily passed by Fricke in Ht 13.
