I'm with you on that.

Think Stewart has played a blinder here by sacrificing Fricke for an all round 1-7.

Other Teams may have Superstar No.1's but they've also got very long tails to go with them, Who could be found wanting most weeks.

Leicester on the other hand have a rock solid pairing across the board in every Heat.

It is said the way to winning is no last places and this Leicester team won't get many of those. I would think Drew at reserve would be a decent signing, yes he does have an attitude and get down on himself but he is a talented rider.

Good for Leicester getting Howarth back, another rider I can see increasing his average in 2026 in the ‘watered down’ Premiership.  Think he’ll be fine at either number 4 or at 2, think it’ll be 4 so takes pressure off Thompson who can start at 2  getting the protected ht8

I like the look of this team, very solid without the top rider as number one, Fricke has gone to Kings Lynn but because of that they have weaknesses lower down, this could be the season Leicester win the title.

Lynn's team is far superior to this Leicester team

Kemp is the best rider available with the points remaining in my opinion.

He says this week in an article in the Speedway Star that he has signed for a Premier League club.

They’d be better off with Martin Kemp or his older brother Gary. They would provide the half time entertainment aswell. 

So true.

Possibly Burnley or West Ham?

Could the 2 people that have reacted to my post reference Kemp tell me who they would like as the final rider ?

Anybody that can finish a race

Kemp obviously finished plenty of races last year to get his average at Berwick, so who would you suggest ?

Literally anybody that is willing to do 4 laps! I'm not interested in what he's done for Berwick, for Leicester, my team, last season, he failed to finish more races than the rest of the team combined!

Both riders are better than Gilkes so that makes the bottom end stronger than leicesters  already and the lynns 1-5 is better than Leicester's 1-5   Imo

With all the rumours of the strained relationship between Dickson and Kemp I would have thought that Dickson would have considered Sedgmen. Going back a couple of seasons to the Premiership pairs competition, for their home leg, Dickson selected Fricke and Sedgmen based on the number of heat one 5-1s they’d racked up in the league up to that point. The tactic died on its arse though as Sedgmen hardly trapped all night!

Who would you choose ?

Kings Lynn reserves are not better than Gilkes in my opinion, their other reserve is likely to be better than Gilkes and cant see Paco scoring too many.
