But he has an established prem average achieved last year, surely that could be used if Lynn have the necessary remaining points available?

I would say Jonas Jeppesen if the points allow it with May change in averages. Regardless if he likes Ipswich or not, your no. 2 should not be beaten under any circumstance by the opposing rising star.

Away win for me this time round (although by the smallest of margins). 44-46. Ipswich Witches 1. Tom Brennan - 6 (4) 2. Danny King - 9 (5) 3. Richard Lawson - 8 (5) 4. Scott Nicholls - 6 (4) 5. Tobiasz Musielak - 7 (4) 6. Jordan Jenkins - 3 (4) 7. Jason Edwards - 5 (4) Total - 44 King’s Lynn Stars 1. Max Fricke - 13 (5) 2. Paco Castagna - 5 (4) 3. Chris Harris - 9 (5) 4. Ben Cook - 5 (4) 5. Jan Kvech - 7 (4) 6. Cooper Rushen - 5 (5) 7. Jody Scott - 2 (3) Total - 46

Comfortable night at the office for the Witches. 54-36.

Fairly routine home win for the Lions. 52-38

I was more thinking that NKI is second in averages so everyone can take a ride and they’re likely to be behind for Tac-sub stage at some point so track specialist Klindt can take 6 rides if they wanted

Go R/R if they’re smart

And in the same breath I’d be disappointed if our top 4 don’t score 42-45 combined, they’re more than capable, especially at home against anyone.

Will be interesting to see if Rob goes with B Cook at no. 2 again. It was obviously used to get 5-1’s with Max (2/3 success rate) and for him to comfortably win heat 8 (scored 0) but realistically should go with Castagna at 2 at home. The same as Thursday this meeting depends a lot on Musielak. He could score 15 but at the same time could score 5. As a Lynn fan I’m hoping for and predicting the latter. Going for a Lynn win and optimistic that they can sneak the aggregate point. 51-39. King’s Lynn Stars 1. Max Fricke - 14(5) 2. Paco Castagna - 5(4) 3. Chris Harris - 8 (4) 4. Ben Cook - 9 (4) 5. Jan Kvech - 10 (5) 6. Cooper Rushen - 3 (4) 7. Jody Scott - 2 (4) Total - 51 Ipswich Witches 1. Tom Brennan - 7 (5) 2. Scott Nicholls - 3 (4) 3. Tobiasz Musielak - 5 (4) 4. Danny King - 6 (4) 5. Richard Lawson - 9 (5) 6. Philip Hellstrom-Bangs - 4 (4) 7. Jason Edwards - 5 (4) Total - 39

1. Dan Bewley - 8.64 2. Anders Rowe - 5.22 3. Jan Kvech - 6.91 4. Dan Thompson - 5.87 5. Sam Masters - 7.28 6. Jye Etheridge - 3.00 7. Dan Gilkes - RS Total - 36.92

This will be a lot closer than what the Witches fans are predicting. I think Ipswich will win but by a very tight margin. 47-43. Ipswich 1. Brennan - 10 (5) 2. Nicholls - 6 (4) 3. Musielak - 7 (4) 4. King - 7 (4) 5. Lawson - 8 (5) 6. Hellstrom Bangs - 4 (4) 7. Edwards - 5 (4) Total - 47 King’s Lynn 1. Fricke - 14 (5) 2. Castagna - 3 (4) 3. Harris - 8 (4) 4. Cook - 5 (4) 5. Kvech - 10 (5) 6. Rushen - 2 (4) 7. Scott - 1 (4) Total - 43

Robert Lambert went straight into the top league without any CHAMP experience (in a stronger league) and he wasn’t half bad. I put young Coops on the same level at 15/16

Shouldn’t matter what number is on your back. If you’ve got it (which the kid does) then you’ll be absolutely fine

Don’t think you were singing this same song when you and the rest of the Ipswich contingent thought Cooper was signing for you guys…

Will Ipswich have any of them?

1. Brennan - 7.23 (7.05) 2. King - 6.67 (6.50) 3. Rew - 6.19 4. Klindt - 6.46 5. Lawson - 7.00 (6.83) 6. Jenkins - 3.46 7. Edwards - RS Total - 37.01 (36.49)

2036!!! Can’t even see British Speedway even existing in 11 years

It would be a lot better for team building if whichever one isn’t RS started on a 2. That would open up the options a lot more and leave a perfectly sized Peter Kildemand shaped hole…

Fricke - 9.89 ? Harris - 6.7 (6.53) B Cook - 6.39 Kvech - 6.91 Rushen - 3.00? Scott - RS Total - 32.89 (32.72) Leaves 4.28 for a no. 2. Options are very limited at that average…

SM - 10.09 LK - 5.28 (5.15) ER - 7.12 MM - 5.18 AR - 7.57 (7.38) 35.24 (34.92) - 5.08 remaining

Assuming you meant could any Champ teams run a 2nd team in the prem? The only financially realistic teams for that would be Glasgow and Poole. Poole would almost certainly decline after refusing to enter the Prem KO Cup in 2025, so only leaves Glasgow…

The theory is great in principle, but it only works for 3/5 current Premiership teams. And even then: NSS - 3.1 miles away from Manchester City centre Owlerton - 2.8 miles from Sheffield City Centre Beaumont Park - 3.1 miles from Leicester City centre The logistics of it won’t appeal to the younger audience and if you’re at uni you typically won’t drive, so reliant on broken public transport infrastructure or overpriced cabs

Is Lidsey swerving the UK next year? If a team could fit him in, he’d be a great little no. 5 in a watered down league …
