European U 23 team Championships qualifying round Pardubice Saturday 20th April
Speedball replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Czech’s obviously finished strongly as we were only 6 down with 4 heats to go (Czech Rep 38, GB 32, France 16, Germany 9). -
Sheffield v Kings Lynn 18/05
Speedball replied to Manifesto's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We can have no complaints. Well beaten by a very good Sheffield side. Top three speak for themselves but Pickering and Gilkes provided very good support. Vadim had a nightmare evening. Dropped three primary chains in succession so something clearly not right there, but can’t say it made much difference to the score. Patryk struggling with his engines. Apparently too strong for the tracks so just spinning and he can’t detune them enough to get them working. Bringing some new equipment over to try. Other than Tobi and Tom Brennan though, we didn’t really offer much of a threat. Not sure I can see anyone taking points of Sheffield at home this season. No weak links in top 5 to exploit. -
Sheffield v Kings Lynn 18/05
Speedball replied to Manifesto's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Planning to come across for this as having a break in the Peak District. Hoping weather holds off as it robbed me of Belle Vue on Monday. Was a tough ask with a full 1-7 but with the middle order ripped out, going to be even worse now. But we’ve got nothing to lose. Most will expect us to get beat comfortably. Up the Stars. -

Possible elbow injury I believe. Crashed while racing for Fjelsted. -
Speedway of Nations 2024
Speedball replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Yep, it's put me off. Was going to come up for the final, but £65 to stand is a complete p**s take so will just watch it on TV instead. By the time I factor in fuel, food, drink, it just doesn't add up. -
Stars vs Aces - 11th April 2024
Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Looking forward to finally get our home meetings underway. Rob Lyon said on this week’s Pride of the East podcast that a few of the boys had a spin yesterday, so hopefully we’ll be dialled in from the off. Would be much more confident if we’d had those the Leicester and Birmingham meetings under our belt first, but still think we have enough. Stars to win 48-42 (hopefully) -
King's Lynn v Birmingham 04/04/24
Speedball replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Currently lashing it down here. Disappointing it’s another call off but tbh think they’ve got it spot on with the call again. -
King’s Lynn vs Leicester - Thursday 28th March
Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
100% correct decision to call it off. Used my spare evening to visit a relative in Lynn hospital and it was slashing down when I came out at 8:10pm. Clubs often get criticised for getting it wrong, so only right they get praise when they get it right. -

Leicester vs King’s Lynn - Thursday 21st March
Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hoping so. 3 of us coming from Lynn tonight. Looking forward to a good meeting. Difficult one to call with it being both teams first meeting. My gut feeling is Leicester will have too much for us, but hopefully we'll put on a decent performance and hit at least 40. I predicted 49-41 to Leicester on the podcast so better stick with that. -
King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions
Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Yes mate, I do agree he should increase his average. He’s had some horrendous luck and I was probably harsh on him earlier. I trust Rob’s judgement so if that’s what he thinks is the best option, it’s good enough for me. -
King’s Lynn 2024 serious team predictions
Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Winning home matches is the key to start with and this should be a side that’s very competitive at home, especially if Wojdylo takes a liking to the track. We know Musielak loves the track and Basso always done well on previous visits. Tarasenko won 3 out of his 4 races before a fall in heat 13 slowed him down. Only problem is they won’t be riding against teams as weak as we were -

Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And it’s the “one other” that will make or break this team in my opinion. A rider like Thomson would be an amazing coup on 5.53. MPT after two injury affected seasons, not so much so unfortunately. Edit: Well the announcement has put that to bed. Nice to dream for a few days. -

Speedball replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
That certainly seems most likely though I did see Phil the Ace mention about talks with Anders Thomson on the 2024 Predictions thread. Not sure what average he would be come in on. Last rode for Peterborough in the Premier League (now Championship) in 2016 and averaged 8.29. Can’t see him being allowed back here on a converted Championship average considering he’s been in the GP’s since. I can dream and think we could field Musielak and Thomson, but being realistic, I just can’t see it. -

My concern is if we don’t get Musielak
