Because he knows he can get away with it and every time he plays that card he knows the plebs will feel sorry for him. There was only so many times the boy could cry wolf.

Mitch is 3.44 as per last declaration so the team fits

Chech your additions. That comes to 37.02, so over the limit. Have Northampton made a mistake in their signings?

A shame, but I suppose it helps keep Speedway going...

It'll be Lawson/Kvech (can't remember who's average is higher) Joined by Harris, Rowe, Rushen, Scott and A N Other up to 6.57. Meh.

No chance of Kings Lynn ever running regularly on a Saturday. In 2026 there were 15 Saturdays from March to September taken up by Stock Cars and Bangers.

Someone had said some rider's are earning more in the Championship over Premiership. Wonder if he's one of them? Is it possible, with Ekstraliga 2, he's waiting on a spot to open up in the Elitserien rather than Premiership. He'll be 30 in 2 weeks, it's probably now or never to be the best he can.

If they could get Wolbert back over might spur him on as remember those were some of Edinburghs best years.

I seem to remember a few years back when he was possibly in the gp's he had or was going to get a really good sponsor and with the numbers quoted for with the greatest respect a rider of his level you could see how the top 20-30 riders must be earning really good money. I don't begrudge them a penny of it given how dangerous the sport is but the numbers in Speedway terms for Cookie for one company were impressive if true.

Nothing lasts forever, appreciate everything he did for us. No way CC will be on a sign on deal, he'll be strictly paid per point if Edinburgh have any sense. Dont turn up, dont get paid. Its a stunner though quite possibly keeping the position occupied until another move mid season.

His boss is a living legend 🤣

None he hates the track hence why he chooses not to ride in the British Final anymore

I think Michael Long may have ridden the odd meeting around 1988 (a few years after Alan Mason). Not sure if he was in the assessed 1-7 though.

This is how I have the side in 'Confirmed Signings', does it look right, especially Mitch McDiarmid? ________________ Northampton Foxes: 1. Tobiasz Musielak 8.08 2. Nick Morris 5.67 3. Jaimon Lidsey 6.34 4. Kye Thomson 6.13 5. Niels-Kristian Iversen 7.11 6. Mitch McDiarmid 3.69 7. Ace Pijper R/S (3.00) Team Manager: Chris Adams Ave: 36.97 (39.97) Remaining: 00.03

I think they have the finances, the issue is Buster doesn't want to tap into them and nobody else wants to take the club on as far as I'm aware. Given that's he's getting on a bit I can understand his thinking and yes he's got plenty wrong over the years , but I do think he truly loves the sport he know's Lynn will always get a hard core of 800-1,000 turn up and he doesn't want to see the top league collapse. The team this year on paper looked pretty decent, a proper number one and two of the three best UK youngsters at reserve, Kvech should have kicked on also but as ever it didn't happen. I think his plan will be run on a budget win 75-80% of home meeting and accept hammerings away from Lynn. I haven't been since early 90's as round trip is to long for me now especially on a week night but I do remember the track in the mid 80's early 90's being brilliant for racing even though especially mid 80's we got hammered most weeks, its a shame even the track seems to have gone downhill since then from what regulars say.

So rumour on another thread is that Josh Pickering isn’t starting the season in the premiership so who does that leave as a number 1 for Lynn?

What chance Richard Lawson at Belle Vue?

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?
