Almost every year these threads appear. When Poole top the table there doesn't tend to be a big deal made. In fact, most can't wait for Poole to be taken apart in the Play-Offs (which is rare the last few years) after topping the league. Play-Off winners are League Champions Finishing top after 28 matches gives that team 1st pick of opponents and 2nd leg at home. That's the benefits of coming top of the league, nothing more, nothing less.

There'll be no Iversen so probably Chris Harris as guest

A couple of middle order forgotten men just crossed my mind that are going well this season Andžejs Ļebedevs may be worth another shot on a 4.50 assessed average Timo Lahti seems to be on good form abroad with 5.45 average Kevin Wolbert his last EL average was 5.04

We as a fan really need something to look forward to within this season. Pride & passion clearly missing from the management team imo. Buster has pretty much assured us that we're remaining Elite in 17. JC has hinted at a couple of changes for next season i.e. track prep and PR which fingers crossed that's correct. Team wise, very difficult to be realistic rather than stupid choices like Sayfutdinov, Dudek etc. Going by suggestions that the EDR will be dropped, 6 man teams a no go and working by current average setups, May be: 1. Iversen 8.99 2. Porsing 4.70 3. Lambert 6.92 4. Rose 5.00 5. Smolinski 7.56 6. T.Kurtz 3.75 7. Huckenbeck 3.56 Average: 40.48 Not an overly inspired selection but can't think of much else to tickle the waters so to speak

There isn't fewer guests R/R in the current PL though due to rule changes from when we were last in that league. To start the season we'd be fine with all our own assets but it's when injuries occur. Employing assets of EL teams or riders already riding for EL teams would see the usual guest R/R problem. Also, already pointed out that the feel good factor we had in the PL was created & built by JC. Apart from probably just 1-2££ cheaper nothing much would be different to the current atmosphere problems around the stadium we already have. Also the regular race night is a bit of a myth. This season we'll of had 14 home fixtures, the PL fixtures are the same number, including their League Cup competition. What needs sorting above everything next season regardless of what league we're in its how to make the supporter's feel part of the club again.

Stars fans will have your head on a stick for that but I for one agree with you. People say he's progressed because he's maintained a heatleader position. That's nonsense, he's only maintained that position because of abysmal team mates he's had at 2nd string. GP challenge he was handed a 'Chris Harris' style wildcard for wasn't he? Lambert has all the skill in the World to be the absolute best except the most important skill in modern Speedway, gating. Like Harris just doesn't have the ability to do the job consistently. I too am not buying the 'he's only 18' tag either. Far to often British rider's are given time to develop, this has been to our detriment over the years. Denmark, Sweden & Poland put high demands on their youth rider's. If it ain't working they know about it. GB, "ah bless him, he's 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 etc etc, he'll come good". I just find this kind of nicely nicely attitude to much Just my 2p

Good meeting from Toft for the Stars The rest don't deserve a mention

I hope some words were had with Buster over that? Half a house brick is an absolute disgrace and is an incredibly serious H&S 'Near Miss'. Is the Clerk of Course aware and reported?

Swedish Play-Offs are next Monday & Tuesday Guests it will be

Can't run R/R for EDR's

Harris for Iversen Branford for S.Lambert Oh dear KING’S LYNN: 1. Chris Harris (G) 2. Robert Branford (G) 3. Robert Lambert 4. Kai Huckenbeck 5. Troy Batchelor 6. Nicklas Porsing 7. Carl Wilkinson

True. It could be free, I wouldn't waste the fuel to watch this current Stars team away from home.

Rose yes I agree but I've been disappointed with Lambert. Robert for me hasn't moved on this season imo, some good rides but still has his Chris Harris gating gloves far too often.

We're all ears, highlight the positives of King's Lynn Speedway 2016?

Will I be able to gain entrance to just the 2nd meeting cheeper? Having a Daddy - Daughter day tomorrow and would like to shoot through from a morning/afternoon in Yarmouth. Would be her 1st meeting and a double header might be a bit much

Great to see Poole are confident of a Play-Off push for next season. A bit early to talk this meeting up when this season hasn't finished yet. How did you acquire next years fixture list Shovvy??

60+ for Lakeside

They were assessed because they were not running off the rolling averages. Their averages are purely 2016 figures.

Rider's don't tend to be updated in team declarations until they've completed a meeting first

Can't see how it's a blank canvas for Swindon Speedway. The only certainty is they'll have a track, surely Gaming International will dictate the shape and size as primarily Swindon will be a dog track first & foremost??

If the EL is still around in 2017 the structure of the teams will be stronger than that. There may be less GP riders around but the reserves will be stronger as the BSPA are looking to ditch the 'EDR' system. 1 or 2 promoters have said it's "run it's course" and the next batch of British riders ain't there to choose from. Have to wait and see what comes out the AGM as 2017 is way up in the air right now

Rospiggarna v Indianerna looks the most attractive fixture

Not sure we can think that far ahead as big changes look likely at the AGM

Multiple riders likely to catch the speedway, Charlie not so. They've all done their get well messages via other networks, not getting the big deal here

Don't think they'd be much in it for sure
