Peterborough V Glasgow 25/6/17 Championship
Daniel Smith replied to bigcatdiary's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Looking forward to this one, should be a cracking meeting. Hopefully it's a dry but dull day and plenty of water gets put down to keep the dust to a minimum. -
New Averages For 42 Point Limit
Daniel Smith replied to DunRobin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Unfortunately after all the talk and being asked to be judged on 2017 Buster hasn't walked the walk as BSPA Chairman. This season has been as bigger mess as any other offer the last decade. The new chairman has been a flop imo -
King's Lynn Stars 2017
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
So, can this team be improved by re-declaring to 42.00 or like for like or is this the best available? 1. Troy Batchelor 7.93 2. Thomas Jorgensen 6.08 3. Kai Huckenbeck 6.17 4. Robert Lambert 7.46 5. Chris Holder 7.27 6. Lewis Rose 5.33 7. Danny Ayres 3.00 43.24 I'd say it's the best we can do, maybe Ty Proctor or Justin Sedgmen could add top league experience and bring some Aussie camaraderie -

Some people may think that's some statement but I actually agree. For Rose though, he seems to get tangled up with injuries every season. Had he not suffered injuries the last couple of years he'd be an established 2nd string going on 3rd heatleader comfortably. Lambert has got real issues with his gating ala Chris Harris, it's gonna really kill his progression if he doesn't get that sorted. With regards to Lambert also, I think he has to get away from King's Lynn while the track conditions are as they are now and get on a "real" Premiership race track. Somewhere like Somerset or Belle Vue. -

Shouldn't miss any Wednesday home meetings which is the most important -

How do you think the team will look with the revised line-up 1. Troy Batchelor 7.93 2. Thomas Jorgensen 6.08 3. Kai Huckenbeck 6.17 4. Robert Lambert 7.46 5. Chris Holder 7.27 6. Lewis Rose 5.33 7. Danny Ayres 3.00 43.24 Kai & Robert get on really well so I'd certainly partner them up as they'll ride together 3 times Chris & Lewis get on really well so I'd keep that partnership getting 2 rides together. Jorgensen does gate well and looks fast which could be very important up against opposition No1's in heat 1 along side Troy and facing the opposition No3's & No5's in his other 2 races and getting heat 8. -

By the response I'm getting on Twitter it seems people are happy with what they're being served and see no wrong so it's confirmed for me 2017 IS my last season of watching the Stars. -

New Averages For 42 Point Limit
Daniel Smith replied to DunRobin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
All figures are a ÷1.2 of their championship figures -
Good odds I'd say. Why would he be anything else but a 7.00, done absolutely nothing in the Speedway world as yet.

New Averages For 42 Point Limit
Daniel Smith replied to DunRobin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
We wouldn't be re-declaring though, just a like for like change. Jorgensen has been introduced on his Championship 7.30 average which took us to exactly 50.00. What's being said it's for Jorgensen to get a Premiership average he'd still have to do 4 home 4 away. If that's the case, we can benefit hugely imo if there's no conversion in place between the Premiership's new averages and the Championship. -

Daniel Smith replied to DunRobin's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
King's Lynn wouldn't do that if they could as the promotion ain't sharp enough. But if what is being said correct King's Lynn can certainly benefit from giving Jorgensen 7 matches then sack him for another 7.30 Championship rider. -

Daniel Smith replied to semion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Potential thunderstorms around tapes up time tomorrow. If this does get called off, can we still have Jorgensen in the team or does a replacement then have to be sort under Porsing's new average? -
I may be alone but I don't want this kid anywhere near the King's Lynn side. He's had money thrown at him and he isn't all that. If we're to go for a young Pole, it should be Maksym Drabik.

With regards to who? Barker's average is less than Jorgensen's. -
King's Lynn Stars 2017
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
For that average it's disappointing but look at it slightly differently in that, for him to improve the team he only has to be a 5.00 - 6.00 average man compared to Porsing's 4.69. At home be has to better Porsing's 5.05, all very achievable imo. All in all, an improvement on what we had. -
It is but only because of a clashing fixture list not the fact that a rider has 2 clubs. As an example, Craig Cook riding for Belle Vue and Workington is only an issue if he's missing due to fixtures. Belle Vue fans want him. Workington fans want him. The issue is both leagues need fixed race nights. Premiership Monday, Wednesday and Thursday Championship Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday It really isn't a difficult situation to fix but the BSPA (Promoters) are a stubborn bunch.

Disagree, Nobody should have a problem with riders riding for 2 uk clubs, but this should definitely be restricted to riders with no European league commitments. Also, the top league should be tied to Monday, Wednesday or Thursday race night's. Rider's tied to clubs in both leagues have to commit to the top leagues fixture schedule including rearrangements.

You would of thought so if you were a promotion with a screwed on head but no, they're looking at their options when the averages change -

Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Exactly correct. As far as I'm concerned Porsing can go score 15 point maximums for someone else. The point is he struggles to score 4 for King's Lynn, that ain't good enough. Once Huckenbeck goes into the top 5, only having 4 rides we'll get really found out home and away. -

It's not headless chicken posting though. We were promised a different approach to the previously frustrating 2-3 seasons. They promised poor performers would not be tolerated. I was really excited for this season, so much so I'd purchased my first ever season ticket. I feel what we're getting this season is worse than previous seasons. At home we've scrapped results against Leicester and Rye House, dominated by good sides in Belle Vue and Wolverhampton. 5 riders are doing their jobs but 2 hadn't from the word go but yet again we did nothing to change it. The reserve was changed because the rider wanted out. Porsing will only be changed because he's injured. Again, as a club we're reactive rather than proactive and it's made me more frustrated than ever. -
