Elmo 274 Posted September 11, 2014 Plenty of good genuine passing tonight and a well deserved win for Kings Lynn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,822 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Makes such a difference when Puk and Lewis R's replacements score well. Great to see Kenneth stepping up to the plate in the last two meetings too. Everybody chipped in tonight which was very pleasing, maximum points on Tuesday ought to see us finish to of the pile which means a lot after a tremendous season, and means we can pick Coventry in the semis.

Star Fever 274 Posted September 11, 2014 That would be great as alot of us bees fans want to finish top so we can pick Kings Lynn in the semi. So win win situation. X Great win for the Stars tonight - good show by all and even the guest thank goodness! Certainly helps us in our bid to finish top. Coventry can't overtake Lynn now unless Lynn lose points at home v. Lakeside, leaving Poole as the main threat - they need to get 2x 4pt away wins to make sure though at Coventry and Leicester. Hopefully the Bees can ruin their hopes and maybe finish above them to boot Current top 3 Lynn +21 (max poss +25) (min +18) Coventry +15 (max poss +19) (min +3) Poole +14 (max poss +22) (min +14) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jive 47 Posted September 11, 2014 First visit to Leicester, very impressed with the set up, good bunch of fans and wherever you stood had a good view of the track. I am surprised at some of the comments on here and twitter about the racing, I thought there was some good racing, passing in most heats, not necessarily at the front but minor places were often good hard battles. Great win for the Stars, sad to see Mads struggle looked really out of sorts being passed by Harris and Lambert on the inside. Have to say great sportsmanship by Craig Cook clearing the track in heat 13, nice one! Hope Leicester stay Elite I look forward to going back in 2015. Onwards and upwards! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted September 12, 2014 Absolutely terrific performance to get 4 points in the bag We so needed that. The boys have stepped up again so it's time us fans step it up Tuesday night #KLStarsFansDay and show our support Totally agree, step it up people, let's show our team how much we appreciate their efforts :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravingmad Robin 0 Posted September 12, 2014 I have to say, the track was okay last night. seen some passing. Harris was riding the boards so can be done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sienna Ryan 43 Posted September 12, 2014 Great comeback for King's Lynn who looked to be riding with confidence again. Look to have the strongest reserve pairing along with Coventry out of the teams pushing for the title. Glad they are back at the top as would like to see them finish there after leading for most of the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted September 12, 2014 Thoroughly enjoyed the live screening last night. Of those I've seen, this was comparable with the best, With the camera placed near a loudspeaker, we were kept up to date with all the results and riders.,, Having heard so much adverse remarks about the track I was pleasantly surprised of the quality last night. All this talk of a gate and go was completely wrong. Pleased also, that the Stars appear to back on track again, after a few sub performances recently. I think the continuous string of injuries had taken it's toll and when Niels was known to be out for the remainder, it really knocked the stuffing out of some. But in Simon Lambert, he is proving a adequate replacement for Rose and performed well last night. Bomber, although not a Niels, also did well . Bomber is always a good guest and very seldom lets anyone down. Leicester, battled hard. Some rode really well while others were below par. Hope they stay at the Elite level, and I sure they well benefit from it with time..... I think I'm right in saying that, by winning 3 pts against Lakeside on Tuesday will all but assure us of topping the league this year. That in it's self is a tremendous achievement and should be rewarded. With 2 main riders missing through injuries, I am not confident about winning the play-offs. The replacements are of paramount importance it we are going to remain at the top of the honours. I have always voiced against the logic of League Champions being acclaimed by winning the play-off and this year even more so. To me, it's ludicrous, that after 120 league matches stretching 7 months, honours will be awarded based on Rider replacements, Guests, and Rider availability. Please don't tell me: 'That's good for the sport'........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted September 12, 2014 So witch rider I being replaced at leicester next week could it be Mads He does not ride for Ipswich !!! Sorry could not resist that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted September 12, 2014 Can riders be sacked after the 'transfer deadline'? Just worried that if Lions do sack Mads, he will be ineligible to guest for anyone in the play-offs as he will be club-less. It's looking increasingly likely that in the play-offs Lynn and Poole will be 'battling' for guests such as Bjarne, Bridger, Watt, Nicholls, Cook and lets face it Poole will get whoever they want as they'll pay more.

lionking 127 Posted September 12, 2014 Goodbye Mads Korneliussen. Thanks for your half hearted efforts of the last month hope you enjoy riding for Kings Lynn in 2015 on your reduced average . Nothing against Kings Lynn but i hope Norrie does sack Mads just so he can't earn money out of British Speedway by Guesting for Kings Lynn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Battling for the likes of those you mention to replace NKI. Tell me about it, Having Niels meant we pretty much won any heat 1, 13 and 15 no matter where we were. None of those guys listed are anywhere near him. Poole are in the same boat don't get me wrong but they're missing their top man because is he got pi55ed and not through an unfortunate injury. If only Matej Zagar would guest : ) Best away rider around Lynn this season for me, inc. Piotr. Just hope Kenny continues his recent good form. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
