He is as iconic as any of the names in history. The guy was so skilful on a bike. Barry Briggs and terry Betts were at lynn 1 day and randomly walking around the stadium talking to fans as they did, and Barry spoke to me of his admiration of Gollob and how in his mind he’s one of the greats. This wasn’t just any riders benefit meeting. It was an icons. why are we talking of building to championship level averages again. There is no daft draft system to make that necessary, infact the championship should be built to the premiership converted averages and then halved so the conversion rate is 50% like it was in the early 2000s pl build to 45 (averages including Bonus points) cl built to 22.5. That would lessen the double ups because no rider with a pl average over 6 would be worth considering there would also be more emphasis on signing a good nl rider to come in on a 1.00 average. It sounds complicated but it’s really not and organically the system would return to pl and cl averages after a season. you would end up with affordable teams in the cl. And any that want the big riders would need to step up Not to far off my thinking but I'd say convert to Championship is more accurate of ability. What I mean by that is any rider that has a Premiership average has their average converted to Championship. That includes rider's who ride in the Championship. They have to use their converted Premiership average. As an example, instead of Rory Schlein having a Championship average as it currently stands at 8.59, if you convert his Premiership average he'd be 10.40. That would make rider's that really shouldn't be in the Championship less attractive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion, rider's in both leagues should have their Premiership average converted regardless. It's a truer reflection of their standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INCOGNITO 357 Posted October 17, 2018 Lambert has to be looking at being based in Germany and dropping Britain with all the leagues and competitions he has lined up next year. Iversen on a modest average has to be a bargain but now back in the GP will he want to ride here now as he has missed previous seasons to concentrate on other fixtures. Jorgensen, Proctor and Palm-Toft have to be back as the backbone and if there is anything in them getting Doyle who lives close by, they should get it sorted asap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When its announced feel free to celebrate but Britains top prospect at present joining a track with an unsecured future isn't going to be on his priorities considering all his contracts for 2019 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MParkins52 1 Posted October 19, 2018 Lambert No1 next year, if you read the programme from last nights second KOC leg Lambert says “it’s the happiest he’s ever felt at Kings Lynn and he definitely hopes they can sort something out pretty quickly to get him back here next year” that will be awesome to build around him and I would definitely have Riss back as a 3-4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a crowd pleaser and on the up. Riss is great at Lynn, less so away, having said that, he's on the up as well imho. If you look at T.J 6.29, Ty on 6.57, and Riss on 6.08, i'd take Erik. For me, and it might sound harsh, but TJ and Ty have hit their level, and on a higher average as well as not being as strong as Riss at home.. I might be in "Poole" mode tonight, but that's my view 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
