Even with Ulrich added instead of Porsing the team doesn't strike much fear into other teams, the team that started the season then added MPT had that possible fear factor. Barker got his max which he must be commended for but sorry it wont last , then if its Lanham for Blackbird the season will just pieter out with a whimper

And make the sport even more unattractive to existing fans

Was the bet about there average points scoring or number of matches they turn up for if its the latter you won

Who at the beginning of the season would of said that Leigh Lanham would have an higher average at this stage of the season than Lewis Blackbird

Could they fit Ales Dryml in for rest of season for Blackbird Think this season is now a write off Wanted Panthers to sign him but that was years back when he was a 16yr old having rides at the showground but for some reason he chose Ipswich !!

Would he be able to ask for more money as he must of signed a contract for the 2015 season , maybe there was a clause inserted in the contract that gave him a pay rise if he achieved a certain average ,if so hope there was another clause that stated he must ride in a certain percentage of fixtures thoughout the season, contracts can be very long winded and can easily be manipulated. One thing concerning Ben Barker is the fact hes coming back from a nasty injury he may take time to get back to a certain level, then again he fits perfectly with all the other Panthers riders this season who at some point have had a spell on the sidelines and comeback.

Ashtree123 is going to be gutted that Lambert has gone it will be all the fans fault hes left , question is now, did Panthers really release him or Lambert decided to leave himself now theres a new debate watch this thread for the next thrilling instalment

If its true that Lambert was asking for a huge pay hike before being released by Peterborough, Rye will need plenty of cash to sign him for 2016

Think he means he hopes he steps up to the plate scoring wise as hes been rather average for a few meetings recently

Hows that song go again Always look on the bright side of life

Blackbird withdrawn with injury tonight riding for Wolves

As a manager for RF and using his resources yes even KB would be your number 1 but if he bought it , it would be with a budget team for sure ,

Having someone like Danny King gives you a hard hitting big scoring number one but it then leaves the options for the remaining six riders limited got to say that Robert Lambert fits the bill better as hes an ever improving rider with potential to score near the equivalent of King but gives you better options further down the team but then there's the reliability issue .

Then why didnt he ride for Lynn ?

He didnt ride on the monday night for Lynn at Wolves so in this case what he put on social media looks to be the case

But didnt he hurt his shoulder after guesting for Rye putting his bikes away in his van then pulled out the fours with this injury not the hip injury he was struggling with from the Berwick match

So far I think only ashtree123 said he was told his services were not required even RL own statement on Facebook suggested he was injured , maybe his bikes were unloaded and then it was decided he wasn't fit to ride

Every rider runs the risk of injury and therefore misses meetings I think the real issue centres around the non return from the WTC that sticks in the fans minds , if he had comeback and ridden he wouldn't get no criticism from Panthers fans, im sure if he had not returned and missed a match for Lynn then there fans would feel the same, would like to see him return as hes certainly the best young British rider for years but cant see it now unless theres alot of discussions to resolve the issue's from both sides

[quote name="ashtree123" post="2662564" He certainly don't get that from Kings Lynn Supporters, : And they dont give any of there riders stick who are in the Lynn team just ask Kenneth Bjerre !!

Blackbird poor also didnt look as if he would beat any of monarchs 1-3 the crucial heats were between 5-11 when cook had no rides programmed but didnt capitalise on this, losing Lambert meant it was all over from then, no back up except from Grondal

Not ment as nasty at all it depends how you read it

The same two riders scored paid 19 when Worky rode at Armadale and the other 4 who rode also scored paid 19 as well when Worky lost by 20

Hansen did Panthers a favour pulling out of his guest booking

Very much so the Panthers havnt really been let down to often by guests all season been very lucky hope it continues

Theres no back up for Lambert sunday you hope that if Blackbird or MPT steps up to the plate, but thats a big if . Bowen should beat there reserves but Konopka now goes into the Ollie Greenwood mode of scoring nothing after ht2
