  1. no idea if you are serious or trying to stoke up discussion however id say that those who go to lynn regularly have the ambition of seeing riders turn up every week and the club not get dicked around by the likes of laguta, jakobsen, museilak and tarasenko. to be represented by riders who put lynn and the uk first lets not forget we won a lot of home meetings this year through 'strength in depth' ive seen a team suggested with bomber and jenkins at reserve and a solid top five who all ride lynn well and that is quite exciting, realistically a big name number one probably isnt happening and that might not be a bad thing up the stars
  2. an example of how amateurish british speedway can be unfortunately
  3. imo borrowing riders from teams who you race against in the same league should be kept to an absolute minimum other than number ones it should be r/r or a guest who doesn't ride in the prem just the champ
  4. doesn't do gp's though does he, which im sure makes a difference at the end of the day each rider does things differently and when youve just had the season lambert has had it suggests his schedule and the demands it places on him is probably about right also bringing a polish engine doesnt necessarily mean arrogance, it was a mistake in hindsight but thats life speedway and life finally im no fanboy or boy for that matter, just trying to bring a bit of common sense and reason to the thread rather than sensationalised assumptions. like any sport person with a high profile if people sat down and spoke to riders they might find their opinions about them would be quite different rather than thinking the stuff they just assume is true
  5. genuine question as i don't know, did the champ decide 1 home and away rather than 2 because of morris?
  6. not sure it should really imo as a general point you can have too many guests. there is a place for r/r and covering second strings if not second and third heat leaders is it that said 7v7 in a grand final feels more satisfactory and when the guest hasn't actually competed in the play offs as his team didn't make it then it's not so bad. gets a bit silly when riders are riding for and helping direct rivals of their own team
  7. pretty straightforward really, on monday he rode at a circuit which he openly admits he struggles at against a very strong home team on thursday he rode at a track he is generally much better at against an away team rocket science it aint
  8. to be fair hed fit in nicely with some of workys away showings
  9. if puk rides anything like he has been recently he will more than adequately cover for Cook who lets not forget only scored 5 in his last home match that said you would always prefer your own riders
  10. i mean there is some truth in that but if one of the bottom three are adamant they want jenkins as an rs then he cant turn them down and be one at ippo unless some underhand stuff goes on on the quiet and please dont call me 'he' 🙂
  11. the whole bit about lambert its purely logistics and schedule
  12. with all due respect thats the biggest load of tripe ive seen written on here so far and its a high bar rising stars get chosen in reverse finishing order so ipswich are behind brum lynn & ox in the queue im afraid my old fruit
  13. a fair point i guess but he lives in poland with his polish girlfriend and only wants to do two leagues so sweden is much easier from there
  14. id be amazed if wojdylo is back a strength in depth team requires everyone to contribute home AND away
  15. i dont think it was ever likely anyway, he will probably finish as world number 2 without uk racing and having to fly in and out every week so why would he change his schedule
  16. and he wouldnt be racing against poole riders if its bomber thats a cracking replacement
  17. great rides by kurtz in 13 and vuolas in 14 why no gilkes in 14?
  18. you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with crowd figures, very odd also you clearly haven't been to lynn much this season as its generally been pretty good
  19. not sure its snowflakism if women and children feel threatened and unsafe, bit silly to label it as such as with anything there is a balance to be struck, a raucous atmosphere can only be a good thing as long as people arent going too far
  20. you obviously bear a childish grudge but that's harsh, not sure who else he was meant to beat, he's not at his previous levels any more
  21. getting the best out of 7 self employed riders, some of which may be guests and most who will be zooming off to race for a different team the next day. to make sure they don't just go through the motions and to make them feel that winning actually matters. i'd say thats pretty important and easier said than done
