As for how to improve the side I’ve no idea anyone that wants to race in the UK is already here so it’s carry on with the riders we have other than maybe swap the R/S but would they be any better ?Play offs are more or less gone so let’s concentrate on getting 5th place which we should do I’m not expecting Bomber to be scoring maximums at number 1, but I at least expected him to score at least his average (6) in every meeting at 1 🤷🏻♂️ not 2-4 points! but he’s not the one I’d drop anyway if we could somehow get a proper number 1 (which is unlikely) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iversen is so far over the hill now it’s a joke, and Klindt is quickly following him. Boughen, just doesn’t cut it, meetings aren’t won or lost as the RS position, but him cutting off instead of mixing it at the 1st corner isn’t doing him any good either. 1. 8.00 rider (if one makes themselves available) 2. 6.00 rider (ideally someone young, who is hungry and not just going through the motions) 3. C Harris - 6.5 4. B Cook (when fit) - 6.13 5. R Lawson - 6.76 6. J Kvech - 6.1 7. L Harrison Total - 39.49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, yes. 100% Iversen would have done way better away from home than Harris at No6 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just personally can’t see he would’ve done. Don’t think Harris could’ve done a lot more: 11+1 (5) @ Oxford 3+1 (4) @BV (a track he has always maintained he doesn’t like) 11+2 (7) @ Sheffield Averaged 6.25 from his away meetings 17+1 (6) vs Oxford 14+3 (7) vs BV 16+2 (7) vs Leicester 9 (4) vs Oxford Averaged 9.33 from his home meetings Combined average @ no.6 - 8.1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he wouldn't be a reserve in most teams, whoever moves to 6 in the Lynn team would be a second string elsewhere. But much more was expected of him, however he should score a bundle from reserve! Edited May 20, 2025 by szkocjasid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarBoy Posted May 23, 2025 Report Share Posted May 23, 2025 Having watched Ben’s interview on BSN last night, I’m getting some serious doubts whether he will be back in Stars colours this season. I can see something similar happening like it did with Pickering a couple of seasons ago, and Belle Vue managing to find a way to declare him in their 1-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
