…….Is that speaking as a Kings Lynn supporter? As a Lions fan I’m quite happy for Kerr to be guesting for the Stars!

Yes it is, Brennan is a great choice.

May I remind you that Kerr has scored a paid seventeen at Lynn this season 😉

This is an interesting match up with Lions the form team at the moment, i cant really see past them over the two legs but KL are capable of getting a first leg lead that is defendable but how will they go at Leicester? Good luck to both teams.

Yes I remember that. If he can get half of that on Monday though I’d be staggered. His average is what it is for a reason. As a Lions fan I see Lynn’s biggest threat as Klindt. It would not surprise me if he were to be given 12 or more rides over the two legs. He rides the Leicester track as well anyone on his day. Thing is with Lynn, they’re all six pointers and you never know what to expect on the night. Anyway, I’m expecting a good final between two teams who are not top heavy (one nine pointer) and similarly built. I see BSN are covering both legs which is great, as I’m not confident about TNT even getting the tricky captains coin toss right.

It must be trickier than you think... have you not seen some of the coin tosses on BSN? 👀😂

Should be a good final. Shame Lynn couldn’t have got a proper replacement in for Cook, but as it has been mentioned Kerr can beat anyone around Saddlebow Road. 

The Stars will definitely need a 16+ advantage to take to Beaumont Park, as I can’t see Dickson being as naive as Ipswich were and gifting Lynn a track that suited them. 

Klindt potentially taking 14 rides across the 2 legs could be massive, especially with Fricke now limited to only 10 (no R/R and no tac-sub in the cup).

I'd not thought about the number of rides for Fricke - but its a good point that potentially helps the Stars :)

Fricke’s R/R contribution was restricted to heat 8, against the opposition’s No.2 & No.7. Whilst it meant a nailed on heat win, its most likely that any of the main body of the team would win that race. Although Max is on fire at the moment, him taking one less ride is unlikely to have an impact on the outcome of the tie.

*Potentially 2 less rides if Leicester find themselves 6 points or more down at any point tomorrow

I think that is what we call a one off!!

He ain't no Ben Cook.

Can't believe you still get a facility for a rider that is riding abroad. He can't say Kings Lynn isn't big.
