waiheke1 4,295 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Out of interest KL fans, if Rob Lambert said I'm fed up with the team underpefroming, I'm off to ride for Poole, would you support that decision. Or is loyalty only expected to work one way. I just remember Wolves fans calling for Tai to be dropped last year when he was struggling for form, yet this year fans are criticising him for turning his back on the EL. .

g13webb 4,254 Posted May 1, 2015 I appreciated the frustration caused by Kenneth low scores. I also believe if we change him for whoever, there will be (1) a number of clubs clambering for his signature, and (2) when he get his confidence back, he would come back and haunt us.... I say give him another month and all the help he needs to conquer this... Same with Porsing, He performed a lot better against Coventry. Mads is a quality guy who gives his all, but his bikes were the slowest......The amount of times he wasn't quick enough also caused frustration.......

semion 2,192 Posted May 1, 2015 Out of interest KL fans, if Rob Lambert said I'm fed up with the team underpefroming, I'm off to ride for Poole, would you support that decision.

I just remember Wolves fans calling for Tai to be dropped last year when he was struggling for form, yet this year fans are criticising him for turning his back on the EL. . Interesting question. If Lambert ends up as good as many think he will be ( me included) then I can see him riding everywhere ( like Tai) and giving the UK a miss. For speedway riders it is there living, and the same as most people employees will go where they can earn the most. So If Poole ( for example) offer Lambert stupid money, then again like most people, why would he not accept it ? Speedway, at the end of the day, is a business masquerading as a Sport.

Bagpuss 10,781 Posted May 1, 2015 I think we probably need to enjoy Robert while he is here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 1, 2015 I appreciated the frustration caused by Kenneth low scores.

Mads is a quality guy who gives his all, but his bikes were the slowest......The amount of times he wasn't quick enough also caused frustration....... It's not just the frustration tho. Bjerre's lack of scoring puts extra pressure on the remaining members of the team. Porsing is having his own problems scoring at present and Ashley Morris has been thrown into the EL cauldron and needs as much support as he can get, It cannot help either of them when Bjerre comes off the track scoring 0 and they go out thinking they have to score to make up for it. Neither need the extra pressure. Heat leaders have to take pressure as part of their role. Whilst we have the bloody silly play offs, as long as we win home matches and pick up a few away points we will make the top 4. Let's face it Bjerre's record in the play offs is not great so I would change sooner rather than later when his average has dropped like a stone which will limit the options. If he comes back with another club fine it will only be one match (2 if it's the play offs but I've already covered that). Mads tries his guts out and I'd take him over Bjerre any day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 1, 2015 So you're saying that if we dropped Kenneth and signed Mads, you would come and watch the Stars every week SL? 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 1, 2015 What Lynn Should do is drop Porsing and bring in a real track specialist like Lewis Bridger. How is Kenny B performing in other Countries, is it just the Uk where he is struggling or is he shot to pieces everywhere ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 1, 2015 So you're saying that if we dropped Kenneth and signed Mads, you would come and watch the Stars every week SL? No but I would enjoy my away matches more Quite a few changes would have to happen before I'd think about going to Saddlebow every week. Less grading appears to have been sorted. A decent announcer and guaranteed no longer than 10 minute intervals next and who knows lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 1, 2015 Hang you hard SL. Whats this about the announcer ? When Mike Bennett was in situ you still didnt attend, and he was an ok micman. As for the interval by the time you have got a drink and shaken ya lettuce they would be back racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 1, 2015 She is all talk Semion haha Been thinking about what people have said about the track and the lack of close racing. Still think all riders should be able to practice at all tracks before the meetings start. This would surely allow the away riders to set up their bikes for the track and get a feel for it before the match starts.Then we 'should' have decent racing from the getgo? I realise at some tracks this would mean deterioration of the track earlier but if it's the case that track men can't get on these tracks til race day (Poole) then I guess as long as they have an hour or so to pull all (haha) the material back from the outside and water then I dare say it wouldn't make much difference. Worth a try? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 1, 2015 Trees I can remember several trips to Poole when the home riders used to practice in the afternoon, you could hear them while walking round the town and the track was a damn site better then than it is nowadays so you could well have hit the nail on the head Semion I did go occasionally in Mike Bennetts latter days - get your facts right lol. I always take my own drink so have no need of an interval;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 1, 2015 How did you smuggle your own drink in? There are notices everywhere saying no food or drink to be brought in but I didn't know this before we got there. Mind you if they had searched my bag I wonder what they would have made of the two Pigs Ears I'd got in there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
