The new owners should be kicked out the sport forever along with speedway futures and the other premiership owners,making the fans wait like this, it’s got past a joke now, it’s February tomorrow for god sake 😡

From what I was told earlier in the week he’d shown an interest

The world champion was seen in Ipswich this afternoon.

I expect an announcement next week.

Which one, tiddlywinks or scrabble?

If he was interested in riding over here, you’d have thought he’d have contacted Lynn first, and they’d have gone with him over Fricke.

Anything is possible I suppose.

I reckon Steve Shovlar is the new owner and Gavan is considering becoming a Kings Lynn fan!

It’s becoming to the farcical stage as a Professional Sport.

That all goes out the window when you’re offered enough $$$$

Think it would actually do him the world of good personally. Looked to go backwards a little last year and could do with being sharpened up.

Would be a great signing if they could get him, if you can't have Emil he is probably as good a replacement as you could hope for.

Belle vue still not announced their number one absolutely pathetic 6 weeks to season starting still no fixtures or price details 

Will defiantly pick and chose meetings this season and I won't be alone

What difference does it make?

If they name the No.1 a week before the first fixture, or if they named him last November, none of the team are going to be riding until the first meeting at the end of March.    It's going to be the same 7 riders regardless of whether they were declared yesterday or tomorrow.

In any case, we all know who it is.   My guess is that since he lives in the UK for the majority of the year, they are perhaps waiting for him to be free to hold a social night with him  (just a guess).

Who exactly are you defying if you pick and choose meetings?  It's the same team and same meeting regardless of whether you are there or not.  Just sounds like cutting your nose off because you had a hissy fit months previously.

 

Similar with the new Ipswich owners.   If they are making sure they have all their ducks in a row before revealing a full team, then good on them.   Name the team last week or name the team next week, you're not going to see them race until the end of March, so it makes sense to make sure everything is perfect for March.

What would Robert Lambert’s average be out of interest?

His last average riding for Kings Lynn 2023 was 7:81.

Would he be given a 2.5% UK reduction is up for debate.
