King's Lynn Stars 2025
Daniel Smith replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If King's Lynn can get a win vs Sheffield (weather pending) I think, overall, the club can hold it's head up high to finish on 30 points. When you look at the Belle Vue septet, it's not a bad effort. The difference between the 2 clubs is clearly heatleaders. If the Premiership survive for 2026, it's an absolute must King's Lynn employs an 8.00+ No1 -
Ipswich vs King’s Lynn Thursday 21st August
Daniel Smith replied to ShanoXtra's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Comfortable home win. 52-38. King's Lynn's draw in the Cup was an exceptional result. It was well celebrated, but overall, it was just a draw at the end of the day. Ipswich won't allow that to happen this time for sure. -
Sheffield won't finish top so have no choice. Ipswich will 100% pick Belle Vue

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.

Sheffield Tigers 2025

He'll soon be dialled in & up for it after discovering the line (or 2) 💳👃🏻___🤪 -
First of all, congratulations Leicester Lions. Fully deserved with managing the draw away in the 1st Leg. Secondly, my 2 pence in on the heat 6 incident. I think the referee was absolutely correct & I'd call it the same, it's Speedway. I wish this type of riding would return more regularly, it's exciting to watch & it's been a bugbear with me that SGP riders don't do to Zmarzlik. For me, rider's need to be smarter or more brave when someone steams up the inside. Slinging a bike down the track is just an easy way out to force a decision in your favour. One of the biggest problems with Speedway today is "Racing" has become frowned upon. Letting someone pass safely seems to be 'the order of the day' these days, it's s#!t. Riding to the fence, dive bombing, handlebar banging etc should be widely encouraged. Last but not least, King's Lynn only have themselves to blame. Lawson, Harris, Harrison & Klindt did (pretty much) their job / what was expected. Kvech & let down but Iversen 😡 Question for Stars fans:- If my memory serves me well, is this the 2nd time Iversen has declare himself fit when he clearly isn't & screwed us of any chance?? I'm sure he did this a few years back turning up to a final injured after a layoff?? 3 points over both meetings deserves a sacking. 100% R/R would have done better.
-
The makeup of the team relies on a high scoring reserve. So yes, if Klindt is poor tomorrow night, it's absolutely game over. King's Lynn needs 9 minimum from his programmed rides. With Lawson & Harris having been recent former Lions 8 minimum has to come from them. Can we get 21 from Iversen, Kvech, Nicholls, Harrison & Klindt switches?? Why not, hey?? There is hope for King's Lynn, there is capability in this side to throw an upset.
-
If Klindt is the best rider, why do you want the 3rd best getting an extra ride in heat 15? That's basically giving up the meeting. If it is close up to heat 13, we'll need Klindt to have 2 available rides left from 3 heats, one being heat 15. To go in to heat 15 without your strongest 2 vs Fricke & partner would be absolute madness.

Sheffield v Leicester - BSN 24/07/2025
Daniel Smith replied to 40-38's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
They need 18 meetings to complete 75% of fixtures. They've completed 16. -
Great idea, season ticket holders will be getting excellent VFM, you'd fit in well on the BSPL board 🤣😬 Every club has different ways of working. As a huge critic of King's Lynn Speedway I agree with their process with (genuine 😂) threats of rain-offs. King's Lynn have 'probably' the smallest income of every Premiership clubs, in terms of sponsorship & spectators. When the weather is like it has been these last 3-4 days an early call off is preferable. The expenses of a meeting being called off to a club are not cheap.
-
Just a recheck, it'll be a 12 that drops off his rolling average so I think a 7 may keep him just under 6. We need to keep one of our own at No6 as it's more likely to score double figures. If Cook goes at reserve we'll have the inconsistency of guests trying to double figure. That's a tough ask. The only solutions (which helps vs Leicester in the Cup Final) is we make Lawson drop points in this match or a decent replacement. What's most likely to happen?? Most importantly, what'll help us win a trophy?? This meeting is a dead rubber in the grand scheme of things. The Cup Final & finding solutions to win that are far far greater. 👍🏻
-
When are the King's Lynn fans really going to question this club?? We cannot keep blaming Poland. Baggy has said Cook is fully committed to British Speedway. Yes, until he came to King's Lynn. Musielak - never let British Speedway down, yep, until he came to King's Lynn. In 2023 - Pickering did the same, never let anyone down until he came here. Laguta & Tarasenko too, couldn't wait to get out. Year after year after year somebody can't be a$$ed to come back. Which other Premiership teams suffers with this every single season?? The most common denominator is this club, not Poland.

There's possibly a bit of stubbornness from both the rider & King's Lynn. There is an impression that Belle Vue are sniffing if King's Lynn release him & maybe King's Lynn are digging their heals in. With the Play-Offs well a truly over, why let a rider have their own way when he's been p!$$ing them around. No skin off King's Lynn's nose for Cook not to be around now. It's a similar situation to Musielak, except that Cook is dipping in & out when he wants a wage top up.

Is It Finally Time For One League?
Daniel Smith replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
British Speedway is in far to much of a pickle to make "1 Big League" work. Even 4 man teams would be a stretch, as far to many riders won't want to be available for weekend matches. They all want to be available to the paymasters of Poland.
