semion 2,192 Posted November 29, 2019 Allot was a home rider only, and then only when he gated. At Saddlebow capable of beating anyone and in turn losing to anybody when he didn’t make the gate. Think the real class side was when we signed Nermark from Edinburgh on a 7 something average. What a team that was. Think that signing was down to JC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder what happened to him? i was quite vocal that Adam needed replacing .. nice bloke and all that but was a liability away, Webbo couldn't see it and said he'd never go again if they got rid of Adam. the trophies soon flooded in for the PL days including either 2 or 3 trebles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted November 30, 2019 Just re-read the press release from the 22nd Nov. I don't think the team will have many changes as all Allit said: “From a club point of view with King’s Lynn, the points limit we will work with and we will do our best to assemble a good competitive team. One thing I do like going forward is having continuity with riders". That suggests hardly any change from 2018 & 2019 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not so much our glorious rural location ( which has many upsides ) I suspect that the team is comprised of riders to suit the sponsors demands. After all the dwindling crowds ( no longer worthy of the name really ) contribute less and less to balancing the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 351 Posted November 30, 2019 Assuming Robert Lambert returns and shows his 2018 form that'll make a big difference. That would lift the rest of the team, whether that's the same team as last year or not. The key could simply be the right no. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kickitov 104 Posted November 30, 2019 Not convinced Lambert is coming back. I hope i'm wrong. Surely if your talisman and captain had agreed terms he would have been the first announcement? Especially following the signings Sheffield and Swindon have announced!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not necessarily, they might be saving the bigger names til the final announcements. I’d be staggered if last years top three don’t return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooMuchGrip 7 Posted November 30, 2019 There might be a couple of changes. A German and a French born rider possibilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

German:- Huckenbeck, Smolinski, Wolbert, Riss x2, Härtel French:- Ellis, Bellago, Bergé, Tresarrieu x2, Would have all the German's bar Mark Riss and Smolinski a risk on a 7+ average. French born, only Ellis and Bellego stacks up. Some would add something different to the team of the previous 2 seasons and add to our away form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,779 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Huckenbeck and Bellego would both be good signings on their averages with Lynn as a home track and only Wolves and to a lesser extent the Foxhole as tight tracks in the league. Swindon is medium nowadays which is fine but the others are all big and fast which would suit those riders down to the ground. Looks like Bellego finished on 5.60 and I seem to remember Kai finishing 2017 on 4 something. Add those to Lambert, Cook and Riss and without the exact figures to hand I reckon we’d have just over four for a second reserve (Pickering / THJ?)
