Why does it have to be a falling out? There is no room for seniment in speedway, if the promotion firmly believe that Allen will score and average more than Mountain then it's as simple as that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BV had Bewley coming back, Harris by the sounds of things, was moving on anyway and not sure on Lawson's situation. Decent team for sure, as mentioned above, a lot depends on Ippo and Panthers final team, on par with Lynn, but falls short on BV and Sheffield currently for me. I'm pretty sure Peterborough would have liked to keep Harris and Lawson is kings Lynn number 1. Don't get the stick with Lawson. He's a number 1. He was the best rider for kings Lynn last year. What more can he do? Maybe we didn't pinch fricke but if bewley wasnt available Fricke would be back there for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allen is deemed a better rider than mountain..a for Allen scored 11 last season at Leicester riding at 3. That's a good return for someone up against a strong heat leader trio. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Palm Toft was always returning to Lynn for 2023 season. That is why Lawson had to move on. You got more chance of being the pope than them 2 racing in the same team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spin king junior 394 Posted December 14, 2022 Looks the weakest of the sides assembled so far. Banking on either Sedgmen or Allen to really hit the ground running. Either should be fine as a 6, but have my doubts when they'll be needed in the main body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedwayFan91 101 Posted December 14, 2022 Picked Allen on a 4.00 average rather than Mountain on 3.38/3.39... very strange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Connor will take up the challenge, put a point or two on his CL average, and make himself into a rider who any PL club would like to include in their team. The decision also may have taken account of the potential to win heats 2 and 8 on a regular basis, especially at home. Again, SD may have concluded that Allen or Sedgemen are more likely to provide race wins in these heats than Mountain.

flagrag 704 Posted December 15, 2022 I think it was Connors from around Leicester that was the concern for not using him in the PL. Connor himself has openly admitted that he likes the Leicester track more when it’s slicker and less dirt on the outside. Unfortunately for him Bomber,Richard Lawson and Nick Morris have signed on the assumption of Stewart creating a grippy deeper track for them to race on. Dan T also prefers a deeper track too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
