szkocjasid Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 Personally I'd recommend to a young rider to move up one step at a time, rather than making a massive jump. I hope it works out for him, but also feel "what's the rush"? One trick Lynn might have missed would be placing Rushen in the RS berth & if he becomes an overnight superstar, they'll be able to sign him in 2027 with 25% reduced from his average! I guess the only danger of that, would be a lower ranked team picking him first in the RS draft? That could only be a new club as only Oxford & Birmingham finished below them. But in that case could he not just do a "Jordan Jenkins" and sign for the club he wants to anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 I hope fans take this the right way & understand what I'm saying, but, I'M REALLY REALLY FECKED OFF by this team. In any season this could have been a successful, title challenging side. It's possibly title favourites for this season. Why now?? The league only has 4 teams in it, almost every British Speedway fan up and down the country is embarrassed by the state of the Premiership. I'm so so desperate for King's Lynn to win the "Top Flight" title but is this the season to be remembered for, for winning our first ever??? Please BSPL, find a way to make 2026 worth while & meaningful for everyone associated with King's Lynn's Stars 🙏🏻🙏🏻 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Cooper will have a long and successful career with the Stars. He’s fast enough already, it’s just the consistency at the starts he lacks. But can’t wait to watch him develop over the course of the season. Or he takes off like Lambert........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always going to be that risk with any half decent youngster more so when this one other league and Poland only comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that the Budgies couldn’t play in Europe when they finally did qualify. I suppose there might come a day when they win a European competition, the Division 1/Premiership or even the FA Cup. 😀 Edited December 28, 2025 by JamesB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 Welcome Coops. An incredibly exciting side being built, I love the idea of a reserve pairing graduating from the Young Stars. Especially if one of them is a Norfolk boy. McDairmid would be my choice at 2 personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Paco at 2 is the best we could get with only 4.2 ish left, I think he’s decent (I know for a FACT that’s it’s Castagna now) Edited December 28, 2025 by SuperStarsFan91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call Bagpuss I'm all for giving a youngster a chance who might go a fair way in his career in five plus years rather than a rider who is older and seems to have peaked.

Son of Shaleman Posted December 28, 2025 Report Share Posted December 28, 2025 Cooper loves his speedway. Shows when he is racing and with interviews during meetings. Good luck and can’t wait to see you in action again. if it is Paco - I don’t know much about him but he seems to want to entertain. That ticks a big box for me. I like to go home talking about the racing. That’s what is important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
