With regards to whether Ben Cook will start at No. 1 or not, the press release for the team announcement said….

”The top six comes in at fractionally under the 40-point limit, and a unique feature of the side is that the starting averages of each of those six riders are between 6.00 and 7.00. It means Cook will start the season at No.1 on 6.99, whilst Harris will be at reserve on 6.06.”

Its interesting that Stars have set their side up  polar opposite to the concept of having high scoring 1 & 5 in favor of a health middle & strong lower order
Clearly with Bomber at 6 he will score a bagful of points home and away but after the first month will, more than likely be in the main body of the team and who knows who he will be swapping places with.
Conversely, difficult to see Stars 1 & 5 doing particularly well v their opposite numbers so filling in the minor places will be vital if Stars are to have any sort of (much needed) cushion for heats 13 & 15.
Overall, its fairly reasonable to expect Stars to enjoy a winning season at home but think the away results may prove costly in terms of gaining valuable aggregate bonus points.

It's scandalous that the Championship dropped the process - both reserve positions should be British newcomers in the 2nd tier  No non Brit should be allowed near a 2nd tier reserve position

You also have to factor in, who Schroeck will drop throughout the season to make his team weaker, when in with a chance of the play-offs 😏

Really pleased with and excited by that team. Ticks an awful lot of boxes for Lynn fans.  We will be releasing a bonus episode of the Pride of the East podcast next week to discuss the 1-7, keep

You’re all wasting your time I’m afraid. They won’t have it that it can possibly be anything other than the rider that walked out who is totally to blame. Kings Lynn and the bloke that runs it are of course totally blameless. It had nothing to do with them, obviously. 

and you seem to be basing your view on one side of the story

that the rider or his polish club or another british club turning his head are all totally blameless 

id have thought that an employee/contractor who isn't happy with their bosses would seek to resolve their issues with them rather than skulk back to poland and bitch about that boss through their manager while pretending their is no issue but perhaps thats me

Enjoyed that.  Hearing Andrews home averages for the the team was interesting, in a good way. We should be very hard to beat at the AFA next season. Hopefully Bomber might help put a few on the gate, as well as a team that should win plenty of home meetings, and hopefully be in the mix for a top 4 finish. ⭐⭐⭐

As is often the case there are two sides to everything and right & wrong on both sides as I expect is the case here. However what puzzles me is that the rider stayed in contact with the club during his injury lay off and never raised a grievance despite having multiple opportunities to do so which is very odd.

He obviously no longer wanted to ride for King's Lynn and wanted to be elsewhere. There is a narrative that Lynn are a shambles but plenty of experienced, quality riders are happy to ride for the club and return after leaving so it's obviously not the case. Sometimes people just don't click with eachother and can be on different pages, I suspect that is what happened here.

spot on i reckon - regardless I hope for once Lynn have a decent / drama free season make the top four etc.

Well, we like watching Bomber whoever he rides for, but as he is riding for Chapman then sadly we will not be watching Bomber anywhere for 2025.

Just seen the press release whereby they accepted the Alex Brady apology.. ive searched and cannot see an apology ? was this not public ??

Good to see a line has been drawn under the matter. I know Alex is passionate about his speedway, and the Stars. And maybe sometime in the future he could be involved again in some capacity.

Are you guys and gals happy with Monday race nights ?

https://x.com/KLSpeedway/status/1858874517147242623

I’m very happy, much prefer Mondays… Mondays make sense because of the polish league thing and Mondays also make it easier for Richard Lawson travel wise 👌🏻 so it’s a win win win

Oh dear. You will be missed. 👋

You could always take an extendable ladder and lean it up on the outer stadium fence. That way you can watch him without putting money in Chapmans pocket.
