  1. I’d like to think you will have a think about that post and eventually delete it, awful thing to say. As for the Josh G incident it seems an apology was offered and accepted and the riders moved on, I suggest you do the same. Makes you look silly still harping in about it.
  2. If Robert has decided he can’t be bothered to travel back for tonight that’s pretty unforgivable. However why not just use his injuries as a reason if that is the case? Meanwhile let’s hope the professional Klindt doesn’t wipe anyone out through tiredness and fatigue.
  3. Very much depends which Bomber turns up, has been very inconsistent in both leagues this year. About time Porsing pulled his finger out, maybe tonight is the night
  4. It’s gonna be a depleted and under strength Stars side, even getting a reasonable score let alone any points is going to be massively against the odds etc etc blah blah blah.
  5. Not finishing in the top four of a seven team league can’t be dressed up as anything other than failure unfortunately.
  6. I’ve been to Belle Vue more than I have Lynn this year. Like I said, stop trapping off, be a bit more humble and you’ll not look quite so silly.
  7. Whatever it is I’m pretty sure the current bunch of promoters are incapable of coming up with it.
  8. I don’t see that Vissing had much choice, he had to try and get round the corner with what little track he had left at that point. I get the cop out theory and it would need strong refereeing but very occasionally you get a situation like this where nobody has done anything wrong and all four back should be an option.
  9. You deserve all you get after trapping off earlier in the season. Several people told you Belle Vue wouldn’t finish in the top four and so it proved. Might be worth being a little more humble next time.
  10. Lambert Riss MPT Pickering Nicol then see what’s left. Could be a lower points limit if ten teams.
  11. Lambert and Cook to get maximums just for Lisa-Collette Meanwhile in the real world high fifties - low thirties.
  12. Absolutely, what I am saying is that even though he may have been frozen out that year, if he really wanted to ride here he surely would have popped up at Wolves since. There aren’t many GP riders nowadays who do three leagues.
  13. Not sure that it was totally due to being frozen out at Wolves otherwise he’d have been back again since. Several of those riders I’ve named have already ridden elsewhere in the UK but I do take your point. The facts are that the league has to grow and to entice clubs up they would have to have access to a number one so something will need to be done.
  14. There would have to be some of rider control if it was for the good of the top league ie Lynn to give up Lambert or Cook, Swindon Doyle or Batchelor, Poole Holder or Kurtz, Belle Vue Fricke or Bjerre etc.
  15. I don’t think you have a proper appreciation of how rain works, patchy rain like yesterday can be different a mile down the road let alone the thirty between Lynn and P’boro. That said with the amount we had yesterday I’m sure he could have got the Lynn meeting on if he’d really wanted. The local radio said is was postponed due to the forecast rainfall, whereas the website said waterlogged track
  16. Whoever it was on the tractor at P’boro yesterday deserves credit as it was a good meeting, probably as good as anything on telly this season league wise.
  17. Really enjoyed that, Peterborough is as good as anywhere when it’s prepared right, have always loved the racing there. Plenty of fight shown by the Panthers riders too.
  18. Racing getting better. The centre looks like dead grass to me.
  19. I wonder how Fraud kept a straight face when providing his snippet for the match preview on the BSPA website.
  20. Apparently he’s been riding injured most of the year but it’s funny that he can’t ride now that Edinburgh’s season is effectively over and Poole need points to finish top. And yes it’s the same that Porsing is fit now that Lynn can’t make the top four. Speedway needs to stop damaging itself, can’t believe the penny hasn’t dropped yet.
  21. No doubt you do but exaggerating injuries to use ringer guests does the sport no good at all and it one of the reasons why people walk away and don’t come back - and yes Lynn are just as bad if that’s the case with Porsing.
  22. Can’t say too much as it’s the same with Porsing but it’s a highly convenient injury seeing as Wells completed his four rides at Newcastle last night. No doubt this shoulder injury will keep him out of the Play Offs too.
  23. And it makes more meetings more interesting for longer.
  24. STARS v POOLE, PREVIEW Sunday September 08, 2019 KING’S Lynn hope to dent Poole’s hopes of finishing top of the league when they take on the reigning champions at the Adrian Flux Arena on Monday (7.30). After Wolverhampton stunned the Pirates with an impressive victory at Wimborne Road on Thursday, it meant the Poultec Stars’ chances of reaching the play-offs were over for another year. Although some will say the Norfolk outfit are only racing for pride, they still have an unbeaten home record at stake and they could play a key part in deciding who finishes where in the Premiership standings. Stars skipper Robert Lambert is set to make his first appearance on home shale since July after missing the previous four home meetings with a back injury. While Nicklas Porsing also returns at reserve. Poole, meanwhile, will want to bounce from their home defeat last time out, and they head to East Anglia at full strength with recent signing Tomas H Jonasson making his first appearance at King’s Lynn since he rode for the Stars in 2017. Stars boss Peter Schroeck said: “The main focus over the next three meetings is for the boys to put themselves in our thoughts for next season. “We have already been planning for 2020 so; my job now is to keep the boys focused as they’re all racing for a team spot next year. We are going to have to look at a different strategy of how we are going to win away like we do at home. “We are going to carry on doing what we have been doing at home because we have got something good, but it is not quite good enough to make an impact away. “We just have to analyse the situation at the end of the season and maybe make one or two changes to be able to cope with going away. It is no good being at home scoring 12 or 14 points and nothing away, that is a big issue and we need to have more consistency.” KING'S LYNN: Robert Lambert, Michael Palm Toft, Erik Riss, Thomas Jorgensen, Craig Cook, Lewis Kerr, Nicklas Porsing. POOLE: Brady Kurtz, Nico Covatti, Nicolai Klindt, Josh Gracjzonek, Jack Holder, Tomas H Jonasson, Ricky Wells.
