King's Lynn Stars 2027

[Marky_Mark]

So rumour on another thread is that Josh Pickering isn’t starting the season in the premiership so who does that leave as a number 1 for Lynn?

Kings Lynn don't have the finances to even be in the top league  tbh need championship more than ever 

I think they have the finances, the issue is Buster doesn't want to tap into them and nobody else wants to take the club on as far as I'm aware.

Given that's he's getting on a bit I can understand his thinking and yes he's got plenty wrong over the years , but I do think he truly loves the sport he know's Lynn will always get a hard core of 800-1,000 turn up and he doesn't want to see the top league collapse.

The team this year on paper looked pretty decent, a proper number one and two of the three best UK youngsters at reserve, Kvech should have kicked on also but as ever it didn't happen.

I think his plan will be run on a budget win 75-80% of home meeting and accept hammerings away from Lynn.

I haven't been since early 90's as round trip is to long for me now especially on a week night but I do remember the track in the mid 80's early 90's being brilliant for racing even though especially mid 80's we got hammered most weeks, its a  shame even the track seems to have gone downhill since then from what regulars say.

To be fair to many KL fans with a similar outlook...

Each season seems to be "we are committed to the Premiership" with ultimately, little hope of winning it..

Given the lack of prestige in winning either titles available, I wouldn't be surprised if a good many KL fans would be more than happy in "Div 2", watching many of the same riders as in the top tier, and competitively challenging for honours..

And maybe doing so on a Saturday...

No chance of Kings Lynn ever running regularly on a Saturday. In 2026 there were 15 Saturdays from March to September taken up by Stock Cars and Bangers.

It'll be Lawson/Kvech (can't remember who's average is higher)

Joined by Harris, Rowe, Rushen, Scott and A N Other up to 6.57.

Meh.

A shame, but I suppose it helps keep Speedway going...

Fepends on your viewpoint I guess.

I love my Saturday nights there watching stock cars. Far better than the Sunday meetings. 😉

Kvech would be 1 if that’s the case... Embarrassing team

Hope for a big  surprises but  going by what dale allitt said I doubt we're getting anything exciting

Rowe always looks awkward on the bike to me Bagpuss , other then the two youngsters they ideally would be better to avoid Rowe and go all out to get a couple of higher mid tier ringers like Ippo are reported to be doing with Nillson.

Out of interest Bagpuss the year we first had Loram and Lofquist at reserve who were the top five guessing Knight was one, Johanson maybe but can't remember the other three going back over 36 years for me so the old memory completely gone.

This is a really good site for looking up riders and teams from years gone; it was the year Gary Hicks started the season (but didnt finish it along with Knight, Stephen Davies and Bo Brhel). I'm not sure who else was in the initial line up but Roger Horspool rode eleven meetings that year and of course Sean Wilson & Henka joined towards the end if the season but couldn't prevent a last place finish.

This is a very good amateur video of a meeting in 1990 which shows who rode that year.

Thanks Bagpuss I can remember being their when Henka made his debut think it was possibly against Wolves took him 2-3 races to weigh the track up and then in a stunning last ride of the night he showed us all his undoubted talent and what was to come. I still rate him as the most naturally talented rider I've ever seen on a bike all be it Darcy Ward and Kelly Moran come close.
