If Speedway world championships were decided over the first three metres he would have had about forty titles I think he was parterned by Roger Horsepool at reserve. I thought it was Adrian Stevens.

Grumpyloser Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago Have to say, how disappointing. 8 points up, lose by 6!!! Scorecard says it all. No rider in double figures. Top score of 9!!!! The only rider we can seem to rely on is Kye Thompson, a reserve!!!!! We have NO heat leader who will guarantee 12+ points at home. Out thought & out fought by Sheffield. Just my take on it 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hobbit Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I have to say that I am impressed with how hard the two promoters are working. Everything is taking shape nicely off the track. On it, not quite as well. considering how late the team was put together snd how limited the options were, I think the team is performing better than 99% of us expected. yes, there are massive inconsistencies in individual riders performances but that was always going to be the case. Considering the established reputations of several of the riders. on the whole, the team have been in most meetings, especially until heat 13. That then shows the lack of top end power. This team is one rider short of being very competitive against everyone bar maybe belle vue. it will be interesting to see just how ambitious the promoters are as with ZAGAR due to be recovered soon, will they make changes and push on into the playoffs? the only moan I have is that we have now had two meetings , ( last night snd Lynn away), where the lack of tactical knowse from the team manager in not switching his reserves snd better utilising the signing of the season, in Kai Thomson, has cost us both those meetings. To not give Kai extra rides last night snd still give Harrison all four, was criminal. come on Paul and Tony, bring back ZAGAR when fit , keep jonas. One change is all we need to make the playoffs snd turn these last heat deciders into wins. Edited 1 hour ago by the hobbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dan is then back and, Doyle genuinely wants to ride in this league then he would be a MUST at Northampton maybe mr Lemon would block that as he would know how comp that would make us.

Another blast from the past if I remember correctly big things were expected of the boy but he was thrown into an already seriously weak Lynn team from the off had blue leathers if I remember correctly ?

Just my take on it 😞 But we all know they were left with the scraps and as a result have a team where 50% of the time you have three possible riders who don't fancy it. You could carry 1 but you can't carry 3 with that mindset, if Zagar comes back and is 50% interested he could still do a job in this standard of league but they need to get rid of another one of the disinterested gang but its that same old question who would come if anyone.
