YeOldPitGate Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 6 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: It's all dependent on what you view as ambition. This is Speedway. Regardless of who the original septet is, it's irrelevant to ambition. 2-3 injuries / flop performances are highly likely in this game within every team year in year out. A clubs ambition for the season is always only shown by how they cope with adversity. King's Lynn always shows their ambitions year in year out by, if that initial 1-7 doesn't work, it's "oh well, go again next year." There never is any effort to remove poor, underachieving performance from the team. The fact Cook & Castagna can still roll on as they are shows an incredible 'lack of ambition'. Re Cook and Castagna it also shows the complete lack of alternative riders available these days so minimal pressure to perform if your on a guarantee as you know there's few people available any better to do your job.

Fricke didn't have anywhere else to go at the time because Ipswich and Northampton left it far too late. Not trolling here but maybe Max is trying to get his average down this season so he doesn't end up at Lynn again? Someone was saying he had a big bang in the gp so did well to score anything last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich didn’t have a problem? Louis made a snap decision to quit for reasons still unknown, and he suddenly had more than one option to sell allegedly before opting for Mayfield.

Arthur54 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 21 hours ago, tellboy said: When the team was announced I wasn’t too pleased they had signed Cook and Castagna.Cook let us down big time last year.I always thought where he gates he stays or goes further back.I don't think I have seen him overtake anyone yet in the Stars kevlars.And the signing of Castagna blew my mind,he isn't that good in the Championship. Regards the track,that has been awful the last couple of meetings.Dust from the off and all meeting long.Need to get Buster back on it asap. Maybe he should put his Poole kevlars on, did plenty of overtaking when Poole rode there last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically we are yes, but it’s still better than Castagna as you said 👍🏻 Castagna has scored 0 at least 3 times now, maybe more 🤷🏻♂️ I count Monday just gone as 0 because he only scored 1 against Leicester because Fricke packed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest myths in speedway. Only have to look at the composition of the teams built and also riders chosen for a clay based home track....

Daniel Smith Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I've said it many times & I'll say it again. Jonathan Chapman is the biggest miss to this club & British Speedway overall. I'm absolutely convinced we'd of had a top flight title with him by now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
