The same big changes as last year?? The year before that one?? Oh, & the year before that, & before that etc etc. In the time King's Lynn returned to the top league in 2011 we've made the Play-Offs 3 times (I think)?? With 6-7-8 teams in it, 3 times in the Play-Offs. Joke club. Really don't know what King's Lynn fans actually expect. The management needs to understand & get it drilled in to their skull, YOU CANNOT WIN ANYTHING WITHOUT A PROPER NO1. It is that simple. The nonsense fed from management that 'strength in depth' can work is absolute kak. Obviously, 6 pointers can have anomalies, i.e. Ipswich away, but there's a reason rider's are 6 pointers. They'll also score 2s & 3s. 8+ at No1 & a 7+ at No5. If King's Lynn can't afford or attract those rider's, drop down a league.

Birmingham v Sheffield Mon 4th August PL2
Col replied to Brummies_Ste's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The Tigers of Sheffield would like to thank Birmingham Speedway for two pathetic performances at Perry Barr which made our journey down the M1 worthwhile.... but mostly for lowering the average of Tobias Musielak, he's looking primed for a Owlerton return in 2026. -

It was poor how Lemon managed the R/R situation... heat 3, 2-10 down and he puts in the hapless Zishcke who'd just been 5-1'd rather than Bewley. The track obviously wasn't what the Aces riders wee expecting so why not put the rider who knows the track best out early to try to figure it out? Aces could have used Bewley again to replace Lidsey as a TS anyway they were never getting a heat advantage in heat 4 with one of the reserves out. -

Is he still about? Blocked him years ago. -
Track was not good at all tonight as explained by Buster.Rained quite a bit today as my daughter rang me wondering whether it was still on as she was working in Lynn.Then the heavy downpour near 4pm put paid to any kind of racing.This definitely suited the fast gating Lions.No grip around bends 3+4 where Bomber normally makes his moves.It showed how different the track was when Kemp and NKI got the scores they did. Buster explained they they put dust down to soak up the rain water but this then left pockets in the track where some didn't soak in.The track then had most of the shale pulled off and then we was left with what we got.FTG in pretty much every race which was inevitable,just remember NKI passing Kemp.

Sheffield could find a second wind after their rejig. We'll see. Aces have been too weak at reserve all season. It's likely to be Witches v Lions final, is Becker likely to be fit? Becker's average is way above Masters' so R/R works But who are the candidates from Brummies, Spires & Stars who can guest? Considering Lions went with guest rather than R/R for KO Cup they may do the same in the playoffs. -

What was the verdict on Morris? Decent score, but think he was gifted some of those points? -
Whilst I enjoy watching the Lions away, it’s probably as well that TNT or BSN didn’t cover this. The Updates site suggests this was a s*it show from Lynn and wouldn’t have been worth paying to watch. Some might question The Star’s timing and choice of a T/S, but in all honesty it was always going to mean diddly squat on the meeting outcome. Although Dickson was probably quite surprised how easily Lynn rolled over, he will be keeping a close eye on their riders from here on with a view to potential guest options for the play offs. At this stage though, none of them would be worth approaching as an alternative to the continued use of R/R for Becker.
