  1. Does it though? Not read the article but progress is not all about speed & heat times. Without stats obviously but I'd argue that engine reliability is 75% better than 40 years ago. Back in the day you'd have a couple of engines go pop a meeting, now, you'd be surprised to see one go pop in a month. Engines now are properly on a par with with 80s tuned engines straight out the box. Apart from engines, what progress is there to be had as frames / wheels etc are "improved" materials?? Bear in mind that race times are equal to or slower purely because of less material on the race surface

  3. 100%, some people's maths isn’t strong clearly. Only a 5-1 in 14 would have given King's Lynn a sniff of a chance but there's no way any of our 7 would get near a dialled in Kurtz & Bewley. Absolutely no chance of a blunder from Lyon.
  4. The sicknote is for & approved by British Speedway only. Available everywhere else. Nothing to see here.............
  5. The form of Iversen is clearly the reason imo. At No5 they'll just be hoping Klindt can score 5+. Iversen is usually half decent (if memory is correct) around the NSS so will be hoping for double figures vs weaker rider's. Lyon is trying to find the gaps in the team to cover off the possible injury to Kvech at No6. If Kvech scores double figures then I feel 40+ points is possible with this riding order, even if Bewley & Kurtz go through the card. What may let King's Lynn down will be too many last places.
  6. You can look at tacticals, riding order etc etc. For me, I'm looking at Iversen. 5 points from his last 2 meetings. What's happening there?? 2 points from someone of his experience is abysmal.
  7. No Pickering & this heatwave will absolutely hamper track prep, could swing this King's Lynn's way I'm feeling.
  8. Also, the 2 Luke's success has helped push through the Premier League Darts prize money double for 2026.
  9. The turning point is clearly Doyle's withdrawal. Terrific win again by the Stars but just wish it could have been done with all 7 Witches available. We're no really seeing the strength of this team vs full strength sides but that's Speedway I suppose. Top 4 is back on for the Stars but they really really need to find a No1. With the season not starting so hot for Robert Lambert, could he be tempted back earlier than August/September 🤔
  10. Even with a half fit Doyle, I think you'll have to much for us. Can't see Ellis being as poor as last time out either. King's Lynn 40 - 50 Ipswich
  11. A what point does the finger need to stop being pointed at riders though?? There is a running theme at King's Lynn of struggling to hang on to rider's throughout a season. It's happening season in, season out. The running of British Speedway overall is appalling also. Because of the tight restrictions on team building, rider's can't build any loyalty to clubs so they're not given the opportunity to care.
  12. Definitely advantage Ipswich now as King's Lynn can't pull the tactical injury at No7 as Jody Scott will have to have 4 rides minimum on home debut. It is a disaster for the home side that no guest is available but fingers crossed to the young lad & he has a blinder. 4+ points will be a dream start for the lad🤞🏻
