My thoughts entirely

If a rider who is 5th in the world can come and ride in this country on an 8 average what would the assessed average of a rider who is 15 in the world? Like a lot Lynn fans I’ve followed Robert since he was riding for Lynn in the national league but it still doesn’t make it right that he can come back and ride on an 8 average

Both Nic and Josh will do well this season, Nic’s average last year was 8.32 and as long as he is around that figure again I will be happy as for Josh on a 6.98 well I’m expecting he will put at least a point on that. My only worry is that we are relying on strength in depth and if we do pick up injuries getting good riders on 6 and 7 averages will be pretty difficult. I think only TJ is injury prone in the team this year so fingers crossed for a good year, god Lynn supporters deserve one. As you say szkocjasid predicted that we would finish second so that makes him a top man in my book

With a lot of people putting the stars in the bottom 2 I think they are going to get a surprise tho I’m not 100% sure on what KK will produce but if he turns up every week I feel confident that we will at least make the playoffs. Here is my prediction. 1 Sheffield 2 Belle Vue 3 Kings Lynn 4 Ipswich 5 Peterborough 6 Leicester 7 Wolverhampton Very difficult to say other than Sheffield and Belle Vue who I think are nailed on for the top 2

As I understood it Freddy moves into the top five after the first league meeting and unless one of the 6 pointers has a disaster it will be Pickering who drops to reserve.

1. 59.97 2. 60.19 3. 60.13 4. 59.68 5. 60.03 6. 59.59 7. 60.00 8 60.56 9 60.00 10 59.76 11 60.31 12 60.92 13 61.12 14 61.16 15 60.91

Pickering 2 3 3 3 so far at Oxford

I agree, it’s never over till its mathematically not possible to do it.IMO I still think we have a chance, a slight chance but you have to hope everything will come good in the end. As I see it Wolves have only 2 home meetings Belle Vue and Sheffield, say they only win one of those and they lose all of their 4away meetings Ipswich, Sheffield, Belle Vue and the Stars giving them a total of 3 points. We have four home meetings left Belle Vue, Sheffield, Peterborough and Wolverhampton and I have to be optimistic that we wii get 12 points from those meetings which means we would need a 4 point win at Peterborough and get 1 point at both Ipswich and Sheffield and if the wolves lost both of their home meetings the point at Ipswich and Sheffield wouldn’t be needed. I do believe Alex has been worked really hard to achieve a playoff spot so let’s get behind him and the team and hope for the best. Also if Masters misses most of Wolves meetings and Jacobsen starts scoring we have an even better chance.

Just got rid of my Betfair app cos they don’t do speedway. Can anybody recommend a good online bookie that does speedway Thanks in advance

With six teams in the league it’s a joke that we have to have a cup final in late October

Yes can’t understand why we don’t have a home meeting every week in late July and August when kids are off school and a lot of people on holiday at sunny hunny

Don’t forget that championship clubs don’t ride on a Monday or Thursday night but how many Mondays or Thursdays have we had where all six teams have been riding…….very few

IMO shouldn’t be allowed to help run two teams in the same league just as Buster shouldn’t be allowed to own two teams just can’t see that being allowed in any other sport

Totally agree with your post, to win something at the end of the season would be brilliant for the fans after what we had to endure last year. I also think that we are not out of the playoffs just yet although klindt and Jacobsen would have to hit the ground running. Well done to Alex for making some changes I think with the riders available he couldn’t have done any better. It will be interesting to see who goes, imo who ever stays should consider themselves lucky.

But Pickering isn’t a no 1 and if we had pushed the boat out and signed Doyle as well we would be in the top 2 now

You usually get what you pay for and josh is worth every penny of whatever we paid to get him

Don’t think that’s as funny as you seem to believe as both Peterborough and Wolves are weaker than last year while we are definitely stronger and apart from Jason you haven’t got the strength in depth that we have so that’s why I think we have a good chance of making a playoff place IMO of course.

Sheffield Belle Vue Kings Lynn Peterborough Wolves Ipswich

Precisely, why would a top rider riding in Poland want all the hassle of travelling back to the UK for little reward and some weeks having to do it twice in the same week.

Glad to hear it

Just go on Speedway Plus and it will generate the program of your choice. Once you have put in the home riders once the next time it automatically puts them in. Takes about 5 mins to do and it’s free

1. 59.69 2 59.19 3 59.28 4 59.00 5 59.25 6 awarded 7 59.82 8 60.45 9 60.46 10 60.06 11 60.47 12 60.49 13 59.90 14 61.03 15 60.22

I said earlier I didn’t know who should be replaced Proctor or Bridger but after Proctors performance at Berwick tonight he’s definitely got to go

I don’t think there is a 7+pt rider available who is based in the uk so it would be a risk to sign somebody who was flying in each meeting. If we to take a gamble on this route Rasmus Jensen would be good but not sure how many leagues he already rides in.

At the moment I’m not sure who should be replaced ,Proctor or Bridger but whoever goes their replacement has got to have an average good enough to keep either Proctor or Bridger at reserve for the rest of the season.
