  1. Think it's clear who the bottom 2 are next season. Birmingham saying they're skint & King's Lynn not looking for a big hitter, maybe they should just look forward to 2026 already.
  2. If they need the hoo-ha finale, why not just have it as a one off Grand Final with 1st vs 2nd at a neutral stadium?? 3rd vs 4th home & away for something like the Craven Shield?? 5th - 7th have a creative 3 team tournament, once at each track??
  3. I'm struggling with what King's Lynn fans want. Do they want a competitive top 4 challenge or just a decent team to watch at home?? If it's the former, it would be absurd to think about Lawson as a No1. You have to have a more ambitious demand from management, Lawson is nothing more than a 3rd heatleader. You cannot make top 4 without a genuine No1, strength in depth doesn't work
  4. 1. Sam Masters 7.32 2. Kyle Howarth 5.05 3. Nicolai Klindt 6.59 4. Danny King 6.14 5. Niels Kristian Iversen 6.83 6. Lewis Kerr 4.77
  5. Pencil in Danny King & Kyle Howarth at King's Lynn as it seems no other club wants them 😂
  6. We didn't win because of "Strength in Depth". Many wins were because of excellent guest choices. we were rock bottom with our original team.
  7. Men just don't like women being involved in "their sport". It's as simple as that. No matter which way you look at it, it's sexism. Of course, there are bad female pundits but there's so absolute 🤡 male pundits too that have even 'Played the Game'. It's across ever male dominated sport
  8. When a team manager says they're going strength in depth, already they've set themselves up for a wooden spoon battle again. It give none of the fans any excitement to get their teeth in to. Another year of dreams being dashed. Another year of a dead septet. Another year of not being a$$ed to put up a challenge. Another year of taking ££s from gullible. Where is the ambition at King's Lynn??
  9. It's just an idea, how bad of me 😂 Looks like everyone would fit in well with the BSPL model of Speedway 😬 For me, the SGP desperately needs a freshening up
  10. It's turning in to a benevolent society when grandad rider's with no chance of title challenges keep getting wildcard picks. Why not give youth an opportunity to build up their standards rather than constantly declining the standard. There has to be a way of bringing youth through & the GP Challenge is flawed in that the qualification standard & tracks used are poor. I absolutely believe the best rider's should be in the SGP, absolutely, but rider's like Woffinden, Madsen & Doyle need leaving out to further develop the series & find challengers to Zmarzlik.
  11. Don't want to see Madsen anywhere near the series in 25, he's done at this level now. I'd prefer youth brought in. I'd like to see a mix up next year, bring in some kids. SGP Top 6 Challenge top 4 SGP2 Top 3 Wildcards 2
  12. Let's be fair here, it's not at all Abi's fault. She's just doing her job. The nonsense chat is usually requested from directors through an earpiece. Man or women, it's irrelevant. Even Tatum & Louis (whomever is partnered with Kelv) chat absolute s#!+e most weeks. The discovery team as a whole has no idea what the watching viewers want to hear or see. Camera work, commentators, trackside presenters, the lot is absolutely dreadful. Terrible to just out the Lass, just doing as she's told.
  13. It is nice to see the TruPlant clubs flop, ❤️❤️ it
  14. That's only cheating if the wife finds out though 😬
  15. That's my question, outside of those very very easy jobs what do they do? What do they do that warrant such high stature?
  16. Can anyone find a genuine reason why Speedway has them? There is literally only 4 things they can do. 1. Starting line-up order pre meeting 2. Tactical Substitute 3. Reserve Switch 4. Heat 15 rider's & gates Let's be totally honest, Speedway is such a simple sport off track any of us bobbleheads can do that. I'm not sure even this whole "Man Management" ethos is real either. 9/10 times it's teams with the best rider's win, not the managers pep talks.
  17. Should be 2 consecutive seasons prior to 2025.
  18. Hard to put a retain / release for King's Lynn as they have to wait to see if anyone else wants their rider's first. Only Ipswich, Sheffield and Belle Vue have the finances to plan a retain list. For me only Kvech, Rowe & Iversen are worth keeping but I don't see the first 2 remaining.
  19. Random regulation idea just popped in my head. Would it work? Team building average to be the same as the Play-Off winners the previous season. This allowing a winning team to keep all their rider's. Every other team gets an average discount for team building purposes. 7th 6%, 6th 5%, 5th 4% etc. A team in 7th would get 31% for Rising Star & 8.5% for Brits etc. Just an idea to increase competitiveness within the league?
  20. The idea sounds good but the calibre of rider determines the attendance. If there's no GP / Ekstraliga rider's in it, nobody turns up
  21. I don't see Kvech & Rowe returning. They should have bigger & better ambitions than King's Lynn rolling around at the foot of the table yet again.
  22. King's Lynn 1. Lawson 7.10 ish 2. Kerr 4.60 ish 3. Klindt 6.60 ish 4. King 6.35 ish 5. Iversen 6.75 ish 6. Mountain 3.40 ish 7. ??? Ave: 35.00 ish I think that's about as good as it'll get for King's Lynn in 25. We'll get the same story no doubt "it's the most expensive side we've ever assembled." 🤣
