  1. id be looking to get play offs completed before kids go back to school personally should be achievable with 12 home meetings (less in div 2) then run cups/trophy in sept & oct the trouble this time of year is that tracks struggle to dry out with shorter days and lower temperatures massive gaps for teams before finals isnt good
  2. rumour has it hes already signed for one of the truplant clubs
  3. nope strength in depth for me with a reserve who can win heats 2 12 and 14 in any case kvech would probably end up at 1 and increase his average significantly i don't believe the budget is there for a big name number 1 or the desire for anyone not riding here already to come over and if we were lucky enough to get cook he has a fair bit of improvement in him too
  4. absolutely agree but they are the guys who have been riding the track and using the gates so their choices are based on what theyve done that night, there will always be a reason if they make a crap start people seem to automatically blame the pick rather than a poor reaction etc
  5. id not turn my nose up at that however id have thought basso or lawson are more likely than king
  6. i don't think it is, lambert & bewley have recieved criticism for recent picks but for me you just need to make a good start whatever gate you are on, easy to blame the helmet colour rather than the rider
  7. lets not have a go at our own though, hes been very good this year sometimes i think familiarity can breed contempt on your own track if it's not the same as usual and im not sure tonights result has too much bearing on next season really or anyones mindset tbh
  8. loads of dirt on last night, why why why take most of it off for tonight
  9. fantastic news its the best track in the world imo just hope the regular people are allowed to prepare it and that tickets are reasonably priced
  10. depends on the points limit but i think we need to aim for a better senior reserve than those suggested somebody who really shouldnt be at reserve a bit like pboro in 2021
  11. its not a case of releasing him riders are self employed and will ride where they want to
  12. fricke seems to be either brilliant or rank there is rarely anything in between frustrating rider and to think some folk made a fuss when kurtz was chosen instead for the son final lol i know who i would rather rely on when it comes to the crunch
  13. bit of a damp squib really but that's not bv's fault, they just got on with it as a neutral hopefully leicester make a strong start on thurs to keep it interesting
  14. lol masters rode tight when he should have gone wide earlier then wide when he should have stayed low just then
  15. somebody at some point suggested lawson kvech iversen basso klindt harris and a rs (jenkins maybe) and id bite your hand off for that would not get beaten at home and be very competitive away
  16. lol we had some good guests and some who struggled but the whole point is that the team put out post musielak and his facility expiring were solid with a modest number one and strength down the order whether with our riders or guests and the irony is that some of those guests might be in the team next year essentially not spunking loads of money on a world star doesnt mean a lack of ambition. in fact building a team with harris at reserve for example would show some
  17. 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
  18. an example of how amateurish british speedway can be unfortunately
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. genuine question as i don't know, did the champ decide 1 home and away rather than 2 because of morris?
