Looks like the club are dammed if they don’t and dammed if they do, no surprise there either with some people.

Fourth rider to be announced on Friday.

This has probably been raised already but can anybody tell me why Kings Lynn are in the southern section and Peterborough in the northern section when kings Lynn are quite clearly north of Peterborough.

Definitely not for me Scott is well passed his best and his average is only going to go one way whereas I think Ty can easily up his 6.67 a bit, wouldn’t surprise me he finishes the year on close to a 7.00 as long as he can remain injury free.

Certainly looks that way now

If Niels is at Lynn we would have to lose at least two riders TJ and Kerr would be my choice which would then give us 4.13 for our last reserve. I think your theory could be spot on.

Totally agree with you regarding heats 13 and 15 but if we do get Niels our two reserves would be Andersen and more than likely Simon Lambert so that would leave us weak in heats 2 and 8. If we don’t get Niels Erik could do a decent job in heats 13/15 as he did on a few occasions last year when called upon. While I said what I hope the team is without Niels deep down I hope he’s back with us for next year and we can go one better and win the league outright next year.

To be honest if we don’t have NKI as back up to Robert I would be quite happy to see the following team at kings Lynn this year. 1 Robert Lambert 2 Lewis Kerr 3 Erik Riss 4 TJ 5 Ty Proctor 6 MPT 7 Kasper Andersen i think this team adds up to 42.42 and while we probably wouldn’t win the league we would be very competitive especially at home. In my opinion every rider has the potential to up their average and I would be supporting a team of kings Lynn riders not riders who are here this year and gone the next. The 1-7 I’ve quoted would definitely ride as a TEAM and do the stars proud this season.

If Tungate showed his Aussie Championships or National Speedway Stadium form at most other tracks in England he would be a steal on his average but unfortunately he doesn’t show that.

Can’t see Tungate coming to Lynn, well I hope not anyway. Firstly we would be in the same senario as with Bomber in that we would have to get rid of two riders to accommodate him and as we are reasonably loyal to our riders I just can’t see that happening and secondly he’s usually totally rubbish around the AFA.

Wasn’t going to but as you’ve mentioned it COYI

David will definitely agree with you on that one.

With the signing of Kasper my thoughts now are that we surely have Niels returning for next year because if we had no strong back up for Robert I would have thought that we would have gone down the route of having two strong reserves (no disrespect to Kasper). Heres hoping anyway

Alex Brady what a breath of fresh air you are. All I can say is that is the Kings Lynn thread post of the year

According to the web site we are going to start announcing riders over the festive season. Happy Christmas!

When I said it was the best team I’ve seen so far I meant it was the best King’s Lynn team I’d seen and I should have said thread not forum, my apologies

This team is definitely the best team I’ve seen posted on this forum so far 1. We keep five riders from last years team 2. The two new riders have plenty of potential to increase their starting average 3. The other five riders could and should improve on their starting average 4. NKI, Wright and Riss are all capable of upping their average by a whole point each No doubt I’ve made a mistake on somebody’s average and this team won’t fit but you never know!

I make it 42.62 would be a good team tho Sorry hadn’t reduced Wright’s average by the 2.5% which now adds up to 42.49 so yes you’re right in saying it’s just under. It would mean Wright would start at reserve and we would always have a strong reserve no matter who dropped down, definitely the best team I’ve seen so far. We will just have to wait and see.

Yes I agree with you all the way, if Ellis had done as well in the final as he did when guesting for us a few weeks before everyone would have been happy and saying what a great decision, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Anyway if my memory is correct I remember Dale saying that there just wasn’t anybody else available as riders such as Thorsell had already packed up and gone home.

Must be getting old, what atrocious decisions were they then ? I honestly can’t think of any.

With Morris coming in for Niels it would also allow us to use another one of last years riders which would give us a bit of continuity. How about 1. Lambert 2. MPT 3. Riss 4. Jorgensen 5. Morris 6. Andersen 7. Kerr

A couple of years ago when the World Cup was held at Belle Vue the race off on the Friday was pretty poor but this was when NKI broke the track record and all the winners times were around the 58 second mark but for Saturdays final the times were all 60 seconds plus and the racing was brilliant so does prove that meetings can be more exciting when tracks are more slicker.

Yes as it’s turned out with also losing MPT I realise we would have had to use a guest for him but I would still have gone with r/r for NKI with Lambo Erik Ty and TJ taking a ride.

At least the sport would have had some credibility. Even my wife thinks it’s a joke and she knows very little about speedway.

In my opinion I would much rather have seen both teams go with r/r win with your own riders or lose with your own riders and it would have stopped all of the rubbish that has been spouted on this topic.
