King's Lynn v Ipswich KO Cup SF 1st leg 02/06/25
Daniel Smith replied to Bagpuss's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
This is clearly your heart speaking. King & Ellis are almost guaranteed double figures at AFA. Absolutely no way will Lambert only get 1, especially vs Boughen, he'll probably beat Kildemand too. -
Not going to happen I know, but could it be possible to call off a TV meeting, have all riders secretly available. If the weather's half decent, call it back on at lunch time for a 7pm start? TNT wouldn't have time to set up = more through the gate for a bank holiday meeting. 🤔 It's the type of sneaky s#!t I'd try & pull off.

Tactical Substitute Rule - Is It Right?!?
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
It might just be me, but all I'm saying is, that once a rider has completed a maximum quota of rides a Tactical Substitute shouldn't be allowed on any of said riders remaining programmed ride. If a reserve is getting 7 rides, in the main it means you're getting an advantage from their scoring prowess. Getting to use a Tactical Substitute on a remaining programmed ride that they can't participate in, It's almost the equivalent to 2 Tactical Substitutes a meeting. That's what I mean by loophole. -
King's Lynn Stars 2025
Daniel Smith replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Absolutely, yes. 100% Iversen would have done way better away from home than Harris at No6 too. -

How can you call Iversen "over the hill" yet want to continue with Harris 🤣 They're both 42 🤪 -
Tactical Substitute Rule - Is It Right?!?
Daniel Smith replied to Daniel Smith's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I don't see any rules broken, it's more of a question. Klindt couldn't have taken his ride in heat 14 because he'd already done 7 rides. Heat 14 would have been Boughen as reserve switch or 3 riders only. My question is; should you be allowed a Tactical Substitute for a Reserve Switch / blank gate. In my opinion, a Tactical Substitute should only be allowed on a rider's programmed ride if they're eligible to participate. Klindt wasn't eligible. -
There it is - 6 pointers couldn't beat a reserve. What does that equal? Inconsistent. That's what 6 pointers are. Of course it was the heatleaders that cost King's Lynn the meeting. 11 points from a possible 28. King's Lynn scored 3 from 10 in the 2 most important heats of the meeting when it's tight, heats 13 & 15. Both teams No6s pretty much levelled out the meeting. The No1 & No5s were, without question, the difference
-
They may do, but I don't think it'll be anyone who will make a difference. Any changes are pointless unless they find a genuine 8.00+ rider. I don't think having a pop a Boughen is fair either though by some. A replacement for him won't make significant differences to the overall scoreline. King's Lynn are way way to weak in the heatleader positions.
-
This is what happens when you fill the team with 6 pointers. "Strength in Depth" will NEVER work vs a league with proper heatleaders in it. Without repeating myself & many others, we told you so. King's Lynn only had hope of 4th at the start of the season, that's gone now without changes because Leicester have a proper No1. King's Lynn must make 2 changes minimum. Must (somehow) find a proper No1.

In tonight's fixture between King's Lynn - Sheffield, Nicolai Klindt had already completed 7 rides coming up to his programmed heat 14. I can't see anything in the regulations but, can / should you be allowed to use a Tactical Substitute on a reserve switch?? It makes no sense to allow that loop hole imo?!?
-
So far, as warned, this King's Lynn team is pretty much dead once Harris moved up from No6 to No1. There needs to be a (obviously impossible to find) proper No1 in this team ASAP or any Play-Off hopes will be lost. Absolutely shouldn't be getting humped like this by this Leicester side, even away from home.

Not having that. Bewley 9/10 will back out of a fight. He's not that type to throw his bike at someone or go chasing back wheels. I'm also furious with Lambert too though. That tonight is how he should be performing in the SGP's. He's so so exciting when he's riding like his life depends on it. In the SGP's, he's too safe, riding to many curbs. I need to watch this Lambert, it's only this version that can challenge Zmarzlik.
