Like everyone else he's a six pointer for a reason. As for team changes, I'd agree we may need to be ruthless at some point, and despite what Mr Grumpy from P'boro has piped up with I think Lambert would be asked if he fitted and wanted to come. I agree re Iversen,but as you say they may have to be ruthless at some point.And if they did make a change, whoever they got rid of you could probably make a case of why him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Lynn ever pulled off a win at Sheffield. I'm sure they had but couldn't find it. I don't think so, but on 28 March 2007 you did have the pleasure of reducing Sheffield to the ignominy of a 75-15 (yes, that's right: 15 x 5-1's!) at KL in the Premier Trophy. If I'm not mistaken, that's the only time it's ever been done by any team in any competition. Andre Compton blamed the track; after going headlong into the fence in Heat 1 he said that he just couldn't get his bike to turn on the slippery surface!

hasta la vista Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Who are you going to get for these riders? There isn't anyone in Europe who wants to ride in the UK who isn't already there apart from maybe Smektala who is struggling big time in Poland. Why do you think Birmingham have been running RR for liglad and Oxford haven't made any changes?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They very nearly repeated it vs Glasgow a week later (74-16) but a Glasgow rider beat Harris in heat 15 to stop it. Newport went a week or two after I think and lost 72-18 . Was the season Exeter won the league by winning every single bonus point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klindt has been very inconsistent but I actually think Niels is the biggest problem Lawson and Niels seemed to have dropped off a little this season, But they have the best away averages this season. At 42 and 39, it will happen at some point. Agree it's frustrating seeing these 3's and 4's. 2 hours ago, bigcatdiary said: Your in utter dreamland if you think Buster is going to spend money to try and get Lynn into the play offs. Mr Grumpys back. In 2023 didn't Buster bring in Tarasenko, Wojdylo, and Laguta in for PB in July/August. You were rock bottom, and went on a winning streak, overtaking Lynn by 11 points, and handing us the wooden spoon. He could though sod it, i'll plod for the last few months. Could he not??

Who flatly turned you down.... Or wanted "stupid money"... Hence you ended up with the riders you did... Then, I am sure they will now say yes... (But. Very much on their terms now they know how desperate you are..!).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a much bigger catchment area, as with all the teams compared to King’s Lynn. You only have to look at the populations of the town/cities of the current Premiership teams and see that realistically Lynn should be the least supported (which naturally should equate to less financial strength and less success on track) King’s Lynn - 43,000 Ipswich - 140,000 Oxford - 162,000 Leicester - 368,000 Sheffield - 556,000 Manchester - 568,000 Birmingham - 1,100,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
