  1. I'd be interested to know why Leicester fans think they have 5.48 left if the sign Mountain?? Belle Vue are using 5.71 for Brennan which would surely mean 4.40 for Connor Mountain, not 3.00
  2. May be Lemon believes his average is only going backwards? Reached his maximum level? It is a shame but Belle Vue obviously feel other options are better. To be far, if it's between Brennan & Zagar you'd have to be totally nuts not to pick the latter. Whether someone is British or not is irrelevant, it's about what's (the manager) best for the team. The 1-7 needs to be seen before Brennan's exclusion can be criticised.
  3. That clearly his name. Young American with British passport. Surprised you've never heard of Rising Star before
  4. You only have to watch Formula E, eTouring & Extreme E to realise none is better than some. It's all a really tough watch. Might as well set up a league for biddy buggy racing around a coffee table. Electric Speedway will be an absolutely horrendous spectator sport
  5. All dependant on the make up of the rest of the team. If they all maintain their averages then Ipswich are scoring 39, expecting the No7 to score 7 to win. Ipswich need at least 3 rider's that will improve their average He gets plenty of credit by many but the question is, is he worth it. 28.68 to fill 5 spots is a big ask.
  6. Almost 27% of the teams average gone on 1 rider. Very very unlikely to improve either, massive risk imo

  8. Didn't post "my best team" did I? Understand the context, someone else posted 5 rider's & asked to fill the gaps. If I was to post my best team only Pickering would be kept. Do you really believe KK & MPT is an upgrade on Lawson & Worrall??
  9. 100%. Didn't think King's Lynn could go backwards further from the 21/22 seasons, but when you look at other clubs potential signings, King's Lynn will be the whipping boys home & away with the line-up predicted.
  10. Doesn't matter in any situation, 2 rider's coming together someone is at fault, it's fact. It's a reason I don't like 'All Four Back' at the start of a heat too. 9/10 time, reckless riding is the cause of 1st bend bunching. Rider's on gates 3 & 4 should never be aiming for turn 1 curb & rider's of 1 & 2 shouldn't be aiming for an outside line. The best rider's in the world hardly ever cause a first bend incident. 9/10 times these are caused by lesser standard rider's being desperate.
  11. Are we really looking at this side? 1. Klindt 7.39 2.Jorgensen 6.35 3. Palm-Toft 6.86 4. Pickering 6.14 5. Kasprzak 7.22?? 6. Jakobsen 5.04 7. Rising Star Ave: 39.00 I'm not sure this can be right. I'm certain KK's average was close to 8.00 in the 2017 averages as his 2018 average was expunged due to Rye House collapse. If so, this team doesn't fit
  12. Who are King's Lynn's & Peterborough's new promoter's / owners? I'd guess King's Lynn is Allitt & Brady permanently taking over? Or is it totally new people?
  13. But you don't share this view when it comes to King's Lynn. Having a pop at fans that voice their opinion & walking away. Can't have it both ways
  14. Another random just popped in, here goes Premiership, home & away once, completed by July 23rd, top 2 race for the title September. KO Cup, same as league, home & away once, but teams are awarded +/- away from home depending on their league position. In Premiership league position order. (+/- KO Cup score). Those on - are to be deducted from home fixtures, those on + are to be added away. 1. Sheffield -6 2. Ipswich -4 3. Belle Vue -2 4. Wolverhampton +/-0 5. Peterborough +2 6. King's Lynn +4 7. Leicester +6 This meaning, for the KO Cup fixture Sheffield vs Leicester, Sheffield will start the meeting 12 point down.
  15. Out side the box idea, is it worth while having a Play-Off score advantage? 1st +10 2nd +5 3rd +0 4th +0 The score advantage is only available for the away leg. Semi-Final 1, 1st (+10) vs 4th (+0) Semi-Final 2, 2nd.(+5) vs 3rd (+0) The score advantage then rolls over to the final.
  16. Best I could come up with on current averages. 1. Nicolai Klindt (7.39) 2. Kyle Howarth (5.28) 3. Michael Palm Toft (6.86) 4. Thomas Jorgensen (6.14) 5. Josh Pickering (6.35) 6. Frederik Jakobsen (5.04) 7. Craig Cook (4.92) Ave: 41.98
  17. They'd already made adjustments in 2022 but I guess you didn't notice
  18. What did they promise exactly?? Did they ever promise changes were for 2022/23 or is it progressive change over time? Not forgetting that the time they balloted for the SGP rights the world was very different & 2022 became the start of a financial global crisis. Tell me a company or business that has done what they promised in 2020 now in 2022. Some people are bloody deluded to what's going on.
  19. What changes were people expecting Discovery to implement??
  20. The issue with Cardiff is hotel costs. People can justify the tickets as it's a one-off each season. Factor in the hotels, you can get a weeks holiday for the same. Last years ticket price + hotel for 3 (2ad - 1ch) of us currently looking at around £325-400. Unbelievably expensive for effectively 30mins of actual racing.
  21. Result irrelevant, appreciation to those rider's that hopped on plane's for an 'out of season', 'out of contract' meeting.
  22. I know it's early & some get giddy, especially after (yet another) awful season, but the suggestions of Woffinden, Lindgren etc returning to British Speedway is just laughable
  23. Finally the King's Lynn promotors antics are starting to sink in with some. 100% the fans don't matter to this club, what they can get out of us under any circumstances is all that they're interested in. King's Lynn are a dead club, no ambition to win anything, no ambition to deliver a product for their fans.
