King's Lynn Stars 2025


Recommended Posts

Watching Ben Cook tonight in Poland he does not seem to be having too much trouble riding his bike. Lynn fans are being shafted and that extends to this chap sticking two fingers up at UK speedway. He needs to made an example of and not allowed to ride in the UK for the rest of the season. Most supporters are fed up with people like Ben who treat supporters over here with such disrespect.

Can’t see it being quite yet, if at all… I can see Lewi guesting again for Ben in the cup final first leg at the AFA (as Sheffield aren’t riding that night)

If Rob came in how on his 7.81 average he finished 2023 (2019) with, he would fit perfectly for Cook using the full 40.0 limit…

Doesn't that average actually come from as far back as 2019?

He actually rode enough meetings in that last stint to achieve an updated figure undef the current regulations (6 meetings and no requirement for 3 home 3 away)

If he allowed to return again on such a ridiculous low figure it would be a scandal

The weird thing is that Robert was riding on an assessed* average so he needed to complete 3+3, which he didn’t do for either Belle Vue or Kings Lynn so he remains on his old average. 

The problem is when Sheffield wanted to use him as a guest I informed them (BSPL) that he couldn’t due to being assessed* but they said he’s not (all of a sudden, brown envelopes at the ready) but they never treated his average as such ie rolling. When you weave a tangled web it is very easy to trip yourself up, best to just stick to the rules. 

Second year running that Bates tried to circumvent the rule book at play off time and for the latter he was successful.

I understand the reasoning was that the guest regulation states the rider must have previously achieved an official CMA and that because that was the case despite Lamberts average being considered assessed he was allowed to guest!!

Until there is no possibility of a different answer depending on who is asking and when the sham will continue....

Should Kerr be allowed to guest as he rode for his own club in the other semi-final. I did question whether he should have rode in the semi against Ipswich. In the play-offs he wouldn't be allowed so what difference should the cup make.

This is a fair point. Really anybody should be 'cup tied' once they have appeared for a team. As you say it should be along the same lines as the Play Offs.

Of course this would have caused an issue for Lynn but there are Championship only riders who could have guested for Cook.
