Exactly, there just aren't riders available unfortunately. We'll never know how hard they have tried but nobody has come up with a plausible suggestion yet. However we can't be allowed a facility for Iversen until September or whenever, that would be farcical.
-
People think he might be back late July because that is what the club told everybody! http://kingslynn-speedway.com/news.php?extend.31208 Believe it when I see it though.
-
Riss, Cook or Howarth I'd imagine, none of who will get near what Puk might score. Kerr poor at the moment too so could be another similar scoreline to last night.
-
Nine points behind Wolves with twelve meetings (or three fifths of the fixtures) left, its certainly doable. Might need a ruthless change or two, a bit of a punt on a new face from abroad and a dodgy postponement while Puk is away but it could happen. We have three matches left against Wolves don't forget. If we can string two or three results together, get on a roll and put some pressure on them you never know.
-
While is mathematically possible there is always hope that it can happen however unlikely. Probably Wolves.
-
Incredibly frustrating. Much better than I expected helped by MPT's withdrawal but it feels like we are going to be the nearly men this year. Iversen's absence is really starting to bite now. Vert littke room for error left if we are going to squeeze into fourth. Lewis Kerr needs to pull his socks up.

3.7.2022 - Scorpions v Edinburgh plus BYC
Bagpuss replied to ScunnyDan's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Indeed, what a difference 24 odd hours makes. -
Holder can no longer be arsed one assumes.
-
Presumably no Jake Mulford or anyone else at number 8 for Lynn?
-
With Iversen I'd fancy us to get something but with R/R I just can't see it.

Poole Pirates Vs Berwick Bandits 29/6/22
Bagpuss replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The guy is an absolute class act, love watching him and it'll be a sad day when he packs it in. -
Can't agree with that, if he's got the opportunity to race in Poland and get some valuable experience then he should take it. I keep reading that people think he's better than he is, what are folk basing this on? Has he got a bad attitude?

British Final 2022
Bagpuss replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
I'm sure I remember somebody asking Lambert on social media last year why he wasn't in the British Final and his reply was that he 'wasn't asked'. -
Glasgow v Redcar CL 1/7/22 @19.30
Bagpuss replied to Paulco's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Glasgow warming up nicely for the second half of the season. -
Kildemand rode in Denmark tonight.....
-
He was strutting around like an arrogant so and so all evening with a daft grin on his face, quite an unlikeable chap really. Good on Lewi for not taking his crap.
-
Lots of hype around at the moment about Sedgemen but a across the rest of the season is he likely to be any better than what you've already got? I'm unconvinced, especially as he has had seasons before where he starts well and tails off. One or two Lynn fans wanted him in place of Kerr or Jorgensen but I'm not sure he'd be an upgrade over fourteen meeting or whatever is left. Perhaps he was considered for both clubs by Buster but deemed not what was required despite some good current form.
-
Absolutely but I'd have thought 300 is probably the ideal if the right shape. But if the available area means a great racetrack that's 260m then who cares. BTW plenty of spread out processional racing on the little uns too. The secret is to have plenty of lines and room whatever the length.
-
Don't disagree but worth noting that Worrall has had a 3, two 4's and a 5 since he's been at reserve as well as some good scores so he's not been Mr consistency either. I think Iversen woulld have been replaced by now if it was going to happen, we have four meetings until he is hopefully back, let's hope the season is still alive then.
-
Great news. The piece says about the track being 'internationally certified' so you'd imagine it will be something more akin to Midenhall than Armadale with shorter straights and more sweeping bends. Congratulations to all involved. Hopefully there will be a stronger sport for Edinburghs new track to be part of along with Northside, Eastbourne etc with enough customers and riders to make things viable.
-
Alternatively Jorgensen may kick start his season and score lots of points. Personally I don't see Jorgensen and Worrall swapping being a big deal, but having to run R/R for Iversen very much is at the monemt.
-
Now those I would buy

Considerably worse than that according to the Met Office https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gbvn9cv4h#?date=2022-06-28

We've seen Sedgemen start seasons well and then tail off before but based on tonight's evidence and his scores for Brum he could quite possibly strengthen our second string department.
