  1. Didn't post "my best team" did I? Understand the context, someone else posted 5 rider's & asked to fill the gaps. If I was to post my best team only Pickering would be kept. Do you really believe KK & MPT is an upgrade on Lawson & Worrall??
  2. 100%. Didn't think King's Lynn could go backwards further from the 21/22 seasons, but when you look at other clubs potential signings, King's Lynn will be the whipping boys home & away with the line-up predicted.
  3. Doesn't matter in any situation, 2 rider's coming together someone is at fault, it's fact. It's a reason I don't like 'All Four Back' at the start of a heat too. 9/10 time, reckless riding is the cause of 1st bend bunching. Rider's on gates 3 & 4 should never be aiming for turn 1 curb & rider's of 1 & 2 shouldn't be aiming for an outside line. The best rider's in the world hardly ever cause a first bend incident. 9/10 times these are caused by lesser standard rider's being desperate.
  4. Are we really looking at this side? 1. Klindt 7.39 2.Jorgensen 6.35 3. Palm-Toft 6.86 4. Pickering 6.14 5. Kasprzak 7.22?? 6. Jakobsen 5.04 7. Rising Star Ave: 39.00 I'm not sure this can be right. I'm certain KK's average was close to 8.00 in the 2017 averages as his 2018 average was expunged due to Rye House collapse. If so, this team doesn't fit
  5. Who are King's Lynn's & Peterborough's new promoter's / owners? I'd guess King's Lynn is Allitt & Brady permanently taking over? Or is it totally new people?
  6. But you don't share this view when it comes to King's Lynn. Having a pop at fans that voice their opinion & walking away. Can't have it both ways
  7. Another random just popped in, here goes Premiership, home & away once, completed by July 23rd, top 2 race for the title September. KO Cup, same as league, home & away once, but teams are awarded +/- away from home depending on their league position. In Premiership league position order. (+/- KO Cup score). Those on - are to be deducted from home fixtures, those on + are to be added away. 1. Sheffield -6 2. Ipswich -4 3. Belle Vue -2 4. Wolverhampton +/-0 5. Peterborough +2 6. King's Lynn +4 7. Leicester +6 This meaning, for the KO Cup fixture Sheffield vs Leicester, Sheffield will start the meeting 12 point down.
  8. Out side the box idea, is it worth while having a Play-Off score advantage? 1st +10 2nd +5 3rd +0 4th +0 The score advantage is only available for the away leg. Semi-Final 1, 1st (+10) vs 4th (+0) Semi-Final 2, 2nd.(+5) vs 3rd (+0) The score advantage then rolls over to the final.
  9. Best I could come up with on current averages. 1. Nicolai Klindt (7.39) 2. Kyle Howarth (5.28) 3. Michael Palm Toft (6.86) 4. Thomas Jorgensen (6.14) 5. Josh Pickering (6.35) 6. Frederik Jakobsen (5.04) 7. Craig Cook (4.92) Ave: 41.98
  10. They'd already made adjustments in 2022 but I guess you didn't notice
  11. What did they promise exactly?? Did they ever promise changes were for 2022/23 or is it progressive change over time? Not forgetting that the time they balloted for the SGP rights the world was very different & 2022 became the start of a financial global crisis. Tell me a company or business that has done what they promised in 2020 now in 2022. Some people are bloody deluded to what's going on.
  12. What changes were people expecting Discovery to implement??
  13. The issue with Cardiff is hotel costs. People can justify the tickets as it's a one-off each season. Factor in the hotels, you can get a weeks holiday for the same. Last years ticket price + hotel for 3 (2ad - 1ch) of us currently looking at around £325-400. Unbelievably expensive for effectively 30mins of actual racing.
  14. Result irrelevant, appreciation to those rider's that hopped on plane's for an 'out of season', 'out of contract' meeting.
  15. I know it's early & some get giddy, especially after (yet another) awful season, but the suggestions of Woffinden, Lindgren etc returning to British Speedway is just laughable
  16. Finally the King's Lynn promotors antics are starting to sink in with some. 100% the fans don't matter to this club, what they can get out of us under any circumstances is all that they're interested in. King's Lynn are a dead club, no ambition to win anything, no ambition to deliver a product for their fans.
  17. Enjoyed that as a neutral. Close score, controversial refereeing. That aside, Sheffield can truly feel harshly done by, for me, the much better side on the night & could of / should of won comfortably. Congratulations to Belle Vue, enjoy it
  18. It's very different riding against the home team than for. S.Lambert will do well to get 4 with only 3 rides expected too
  19. Losing 2 rider's & winning the home leg by 12 is not choking. If R/R & Simon Lambert pick up 10 points, it should be enough to see them through. If the above happens & Belle Vue still lose, 100%, choking can be firmly pointed at the team, BUT, even had Belle Vue had their full 7 I did't see them scoring 40 points anyway. Lambert - Zagar - Kurtz vs Holder - Musielak - Ellis very even to call around owlerton but the winners of the meeting for me will come from Sedgman & Mountain. These 2 will be the difference.
  20. Lambert with Belle Vue. It's a lad trying to reach the top so would be good on the CV. Unfortunately, I think Belle Vue haven't got enough in the bag to get over the line.
  21. The guest rule again seems ambiguous. If still fit (with my take of the rule) Tero Aarnio is the best guest option with a PL green sheet of 4.55. The rules only insist that the league average the rider guests in be used. If fit & available, surely Belle Vue would be on the phone? Next best option would be Kasper Andersen (if fit & available)
  22. You can call me out lad. It was my opinion & I still genuinely believe, had he stuck around British Speedway, he would have become the next Chris Harris. The best thing Lambert did was get away from King's Lynn & British Speedway. I'm certainly not embarrassed by those thoughts, he was annoying the s#!+ out of me with his curb crawling in the first half of the GP series. 2nd half, went up another gear. Couldn't be happier for him. Now, he HAS to become consistent but becoming World No5 I'm more than pleased to also never make that comparison again. Amazing thing has just happened for social media - 'Man 43 changes his mind'. Call BBC, ITV, Sky news quick sharp chap
