  1. I really don't see what others are. I just don't see this being close at all. We've not been great from the starts and if that is to continue, against this side we really will be shown up. Lindgren, Masters, Thorssell, Schlein all great trappers and I fancy for double figures round the AFA. No tactical rides just a straight 15 heats too so a bad start will highlight our problems much greater. We will struggle to hit 40 points, I have no doubt about.
  2. Mick Horton at Poole, ooooooh that would be exciting
  3. Tungate doesn't fit for Porsing using the starting of revised averages and Newman's is way higher than S.Lambert's
  4. Understand what you're saying but it's not Huckenbeck's fault. What is annoying is clubs putting fixtures on around these dates knowing full well riders could be missing. Had R.Lambert been picked he too would have missed Wednesday's fixture. The responsibility for missing riders for FIM events is on the promoters, not the riders.
  5. Haven't you learnt anything yet. Promoters don't like listening to their customers. Us fans know absolutely nothing and the promoters know everything, that's why British Speedway is in such a healthy position with massive crowds week in week out
  6. A bit of a curve ball here but what about the old guard on 28 day deals in Paul Hurry / Jon Armstrong?
  7. To be fair, he scored 3+2 for Berwick yesterday at Peterborough and I thought deserved a bit more but was caught on the wrong racing line. Gated pretty well too and that's half the battle an was only his 2nd meeting of 2017. I'm actually intrigued enough to attend Wednesday. Yes, that's right. Jake Knight is the reason I'm attending Wednesday night, seriously no joke
  8. Tell me about it but I can't see where we can go forward. Porsing will be reserve by the end of the month and I can't​ see him performing as well as Huckenbeck down there. We desperately need a stronger reserve at No7. Maybe Graversen on a 4.00 at No7 but Porsing has to be replaced IMO. Currently form is a 4.69, if we allow that drop rather than find a 6 point man now we're in the brown stuff.
  9. Newman is between a rock and a hard place. He'll want another team and do well but, if he goes out and up his average Poole won't be interested as he then becomes less valuable to the team.
  10. I'm sure in private Trees has similar thoughts​to all of us but now the Supporters Club is firmly attached and in bed with the club. I'm sure those running it have to tow the party line on all social media. I honestly don't believe everything Trees says is always her actual opinion on matters but feels she has to be on the defensive.
  11. Went to Peterborough v Berwick yesterday. Even though it was a dust bowl it's was the most I've enjoyed a league Speedway meeting in years. My little 2yo girl loved it too, more than any meeting she's attended at King's Lynn. I will never be a Panthers fan but I felt more VFM came from it so I've got some thinking to do for 2018. That old feeling from our PL days came rolling back, rider's interaction with the supporters was there. A couple of mascots my daughter could run up to and high 5 and cuddle. It just felt like the fans that were in attendance meant something.
  12. Should be a sign at the entrance "No Farting Please".
  13. Starke is only 2nd to Holder in race wins with 16 and he's only had 4 last places all season. He certainly isn't it any of the rider's that need replacing. Shouldn't worry anyway as Starke will have to prioritise the Panthers in any fixture clash except rescheduled fixtures.
  14. Hit the nail on it's unmissable fat fookin head. If it was me I'd bin Porsing immediately with Simon giving us 10.30 ave Todd Kurtz 5.54 Max Clegg 4.70 It's risky but we'll get nowhere without trying
  15. I don't know, a kamikaze​ no7 that can gate might work in wiping out every opposition's No6 in heat 2
  16. Lewis Bridger's Twitter is funny, questioning why he and Lawson weren't contacted / selected for GB I hope he's just having a giggle, if not that is a WTF moment
  17. Because that is just going from bad to worse obviously. We may be able to fit Newman in for Simon Lambert though with the new averages.
  18. Unfortunately Tungate doesn't fit either way we try, with his old or new average to replace Porsing
  19. You are correct regards to Doyle. Doesn't matter what the meeting is he go all guns blazing. He was fortunate to get up from his off at King's Lynn the other week over doing it on the 3rd 4th bend
  20. Depends, apparently the BSPA are dishing out averages this week, even if rider's haven't done 4h 4a. Hopefully Simon gets a 5+ average
