KING’S LYNN need to overturn a six-point deficit when they host Swindon in their Knockout Cup Semi-Final decider at the Adrian Flux Arena on Monday (7.30).

The Tru Plant Stars lost the first leg 48-42 in Wiltshire last Monday, but a battling performance means they are still in the tie.

In-form reserve Michael Palm Toft is confident they can progress through to the final, as well as building up some momentum ahead of next week’s play-offs.

“Six-points is nothing really and the way we’ve been riding at King’s Lynn lately, it really is our fortress,” Palm Toft said.

“So we’re feeling good that we can win this meeting overall but we know there’s still work to do to make sure we get the job done.

“We all know what we’re capable of at Lynn and we’d love to get through to the final.

“I think it’s important we put in another big performance, not only just to make sure we win overall but to keep our confidence going ahead of the play-offs.”

The Tru Plant Stars are offering supporters a unique experience during Monday’s Semi-Final. For just £5 extra on top of their admission fee, supporters will have the opportunity to watch three races from the infield.

Tickets will be available at the programme sales stand inside the turnstiles and will be limited to 30 persons per session.

Subject to availability, supporters will be able to select from the following sessions: heats 3-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15.

The popular reaction bike will also be available while there will again be free face painting for kids.

Supporters will also be able to book coach travel to next week’s Play-Off Semi-Final first leg at Belle Vue and can also vote for their Rider of the Season.

Tickets for the End of Season Party at the Adrian Flux Arena on October 19 will also be on sale and there will be a Q+A session with riders and management after the meeting.

KING’S LYNN: Robert Lambert, Erik Riss, Ty Proctor, Thomas Jorgensen, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Michael Palm Toft, Simon Lambert.

SWINDON: Troy Batchelor, David Bellego, Adam Ellis, Tobiasz Musielak, Nick Morris, Zach Wajtknecht, Jack Smith.

Looking forward to this one,   will be disappointed if we fail to make that final.   Judging by our home form of late we should have enough strength in depth to see us home.  But Swindon are no fools and have several riders who go well here.   Had this been an ordinary league fixture I would have said an easy home win,  but  with a final up for grabs, this will be no pushover,  and each team will be up for it.    I can see this one going to the wire,  and will be more than grateful,  for a 50-40 scoreline...   :t:

Ellis is a big big loss for Swindon, not so much the other 2 though.

Got to love a bit of doubling-up - 2 riders crocked for a cup semi-final due to tooling about in a lower league clash for a completely different team.

Nothing on their twitter feed either.

Just ignore anything the troll posts and wait for official news.
