I'll give you odds of Thomson coming in to replace Hans...
-
Only 2 of our original 1-7 remain. I could see you guys making a move for Thomson.
-
Being an SGP2 rider I can't imagine he is cheaper at all

King's Lynn v Leicester 20/07/23
StarBoy replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
According to programme notes and meeting reports, work is being done in the background to bring in a new face. I hope that they're looking at a prospect from the continent with a view to trying to bed them in for the '24 season. -

The 50/50 prize amount was a record this season. -
King's Lynn v Leicester 20/07/23
StarBoy replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
As they in football, play to the whistle. Kemp done well to clear the track to be fair to him. I think the big difference maker was Bomber. When Leicester came in June he scored 2+1, and was erratic to say the least. Last night he rolled back the years on his way to 10+1. Nevertheless, a good meeting all round. At times there was some good racing, which was a positive to see. Also, from what I saw crowd numbers looked slightly up from the last home meeting against Sheffield so that's a big positive too. -

Mr Lambert and Mr Klindt will be having busy nights again. 14 rides between the pair of them (assuming Klindt takes a T/S if one is required) -

Yes, indeed that maths is correct. I'm just giving my predictions of scores across the board -

StarBoy replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
2 & 4 determine this one for me. If Lynn are to win need a minimum of 12 points between Thomson and Jorgensen. AL - 12 (5) KT - 5 (4) RS - 6 (4) TJ - 7 (4) NK - 10 (5) SL - 7 (5) AR - 2 (3) Total - 49 -
Leicester vs Kings Lynn 17/7/23
StarBoy replied to Lenny Lion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
BV potentially, but i don't think so at Lynn. He does a big swoop Lap 1 Bend 2 at generating a lot of speed down the back straight, but I don't class that as passing. Some may disagree however -
Lynn fan here. Peterborough to win both meetings on 24th and 27th comfortably.

Leicester vs Kings Lynn 17/7/23

Yeah but if you look at the current 1-7 you could argue they're all a waste of money bar Lambert and what Klindt shows up...? -

StarBoy replied to Lenny Lion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I wouldn't say waste of money, I would say expensive luxury which can't be afforded when money is stretched and a bigger points return could be generated by having 2 riders instead of one. He's a very different rider in the UK compared to Poland. Here if he doesn't hit the start he doesn't want to know, but in Poland he will ride every inch of the track for 4 laps. -
I did mean homegrown riders, sorry if that wasn't clear. Obviously, Brennan would work for this
-
I'm not saying we should copy Poland, but maybe introducing the rule where both reserves have to be U24 riders (or similar) from clubs academies would be beneficial. You look at teams like Sheffield (Kerr/Howarth/Pickering?) and BV (Blodorn/Brennan) they've always got a stronger reserve than the rest of the teams. I'm not saying they should be penalised for having strong reserves as they've built their team that way, but if a in-form reserve can take 7 rides that's where a meeting can be won or lost. I personally feel if you have to have 2 "Rising Stars" let's call them for arguments sake in your reserve berth it might make things more competitive... Obviously, there are bigger fish to fry in terms of ongoing issues, however, it's just a suggestion.
-
Do you know something we don't?
-
Dread to think what BV's, Sheffield's or Ipswich's budgets are if the rest of the Lynn team is "over budget". Maybe some riders are being overpaid for their services. However, I would've thought Laguta would be the only one on a guarantee.
-
Not registered as a promoter at Lynn, just Team Manager
-
The only way I see us continuing is by releasing Laguta. Do that and whatever fans we do have attending are unlikely too anymore. It really is a lose lose situation for Buster and KL at present.
-
The end is definitely nigh.

King's Lynn Vs Sheffield 06.07.23
StarBoy replied to StarBoy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
King's Lynn want to have a different surface due to stock cars/bangers bringing in the majority of revenue. It's not feasible to rip up the clay and replace it with shale for when there is a speedway meeting or vice versa. From a business perspective the speedway attendances just don't dictate doing this. -

At least we're not asked to put the air fences up, clean toilet etc -
Like he how he doesn't mention Buster saving the Witches at all... Edit: my comment following the 2nd part of Chris' tweet
