No Klindt at Northampton in 2027, could his play off final performance have forced his way into Lemon’s 2027 Aces line up?

Kings Lynn don't have the finances to even be in the top league tbh need championship more than ever

To be fair to many KL fans with a similar outlook... Each season seems to be "we are committed to the Premiership" with ultimately, little hope of winning it.. Given the lack of prestige in winning either titles available, I wouldn't be surprised if a good many KL fans would be more than happy in "Div 2", watching many of the same riders as in the top tier, and competitively challenging for honours.. And maybe doing so on a Saturday...

🤣🤣 it wasn't even remotely negative 🤣🤣 Even if a King's Lynn fan says they expect them to be bottom isn't always a negative. It's factually correct with hindsight and past data. Do you think King's Lynn has the finances to challenge??

Not neccessarily. Depends who will be at no2.

With that line up could easily see Northampton progressing into the top 4 in 2027, know nothing is won on paper but you’d expect Ipswich and Leicester with their rumoured line ups to be in top 4, puts a bit of pressure on the established play off teams in Belle Vue and Sheffield with their team building that’s for sure. Sets the bar for King’s Lynn also in what they need to be able to compete against unless wanting the wooden spoon

Good shout! Any other offers?

Lidsey, Iversen and Morris confirmed not sure whether the press release has been released yet or whether it's announced at the Speedway show but all 3 profiles are on the Foxes website

The current crop are ok I think, however god forbid a couple of them get injured as there is no one else waiting in the wings

To be fair all the Clubs he let down never make an issue of his behaviour.

Ever say anything good ?

Not a bad job if you can have a lot of time off to ride Speedway in summer and take 6 weeks or more off in winter 😜 when I worked I only had 4 weeks holidays all year Not knocking your lad or anyone else just an opinion of how much time off is required

Agree, Reality will hit the higher ups very early on in 2027. If young riders end up taking a break from the Sport due to a lack of confidence and finances then the blame lies fully with the higher ups for throwing them into the deep end before they can swim.

Alan Mason?

There's always an interview with Craig Cook in the Speedway Star every winter and he says the same things everytime. Been in the gym, feels really fit and rejuvenated. Raring to go and can't wait for the new season to start blah blah blah. Great rider when he's on song but has let so many people down over the years and unfortunately, a leopard never changes its spots. I'd loved to be proved wrong however.

Find it ironic craig says he contacted edinburgh wonder if anyother clubs contacted him?

Everything's relative. A Championship rider could buy a return ticket to Australia by having one good league meeting here.

Your wrong to mention Glasgow in that. There was never an issue with Cook at Glasgow, he never walked out mid season. The current Glasgow promotion are known for paying riders in full and on time, every time.

So who was the last real Kiwi to race for Edinburgh? Jack Millen?

Depends how you look at it though !! He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, so you could argue he's a Kiwi. But, obviously, there are many riders born somewhere other than what they call themselves nationality wise - e.g. Jason Crump, Adam McKinna etc.

It has no longevity whatsoever. Even Vinnie admits this is his one and only shot at rising star as he’ll be too old in 2028. Where are all the U21’s going to continue coming from? It’ll have to be modified to U24’s or better still, binned off completely after next year.

And their bottom 3 would only be getting 2 points...for beating a teammate in heats 2 and 8

It was a mixed performance from Cook that day. He was flying whilst out in front, but he lost both his races against Kyle Howarth and was on the wrong end of a 5-1 in a heat 15 decider

Apparently Workington got behind in rider payments which would've had an impact like we saw at PREM level with Oxford. I'd be surprised if this scheme continues into 2028 tbh, They'll be so far out of their depth to a point where nothing positive will come from it imo.

IF its the team??
