Re Milik - for team building purposes he might have to be on a 5.0 but unsure of the rules

A lot can happen in the six months between now and March

The logistics reasoning is correct, he has mentioned it for a while when he was at Lynn in 21 & 22. However, every time he has guested at Lynn this season and gave interviews he says how much he loves the club, track etc so who knows… We had a decent team this year and if it wasn’t for the shenanigans I truly believe we would’ve won the KO Cup and made it to the playoffs

What I heard is that he had a verbal agreement with Lynn and then Leicester offered £20 a point more and that swayed his decision along with the logistics as well

I totally agree. It would be harsh to leave him out as he’s probably been Lynn’s standout rider this season alongside Anders Rowe, this is just the rumour I’ve heard

He did this year, he was waiting for a call. Why would that change next year?

Word on the AFA terraces make interesting reading for Lynn’s team next season. 1. Lebedevs / Lambert - 8.00 / 7.8 2. Klindt - 6.59 3. Basso - 6.89 4. Lawson - 7.09 (6.91) 5. Kvech - 6.58 6. Rowe - 5.21 (3.91) RS. ? Total with Lebedevs - 38.88 Total with Lambert - 38.68 How true this is or not idk, just what I’ve heard from a credible source who is close to someone who is close to someone in the KL promotion

I’ve heard Lynn are obviously looking at Lambert as well - assume Leicester would blow them out of the water in terms of what they can offer…? Lambert has stated previously if he does do a full UK season again it will only ever be for Lynn but anything can happen. Whether he comes in on his old 7.81 or a reassessed 8.0 it’s a great signing, especially with his British reduction. Could Leicester fit in both Lambert and Fricke, because I can’t see Max going anywhere else? As seen this this season with Ipswich the top heavy route can be a slippery slope if they both get injured at the same time

How contrived the play-offs have been this season is the league title really worth winning? Lynn had a really good opportunity to win the KO cup and narrowly missed out to Sheffield. No criticism of either of them but If we didn’t have Z Cook and Castanga we would’ve got over the line and got into the final. All in all I would say it was a better season for Lynn minus the shenanigans which we’ll never hear the full story of anyway.

Surely when the old Joker system existed someone must’ve scored 24 from 7 outings if they had an R/R ride a Joker ride and were in heat 15?

I think Louis has his eyes more on the man guesting for Doyle on Monday. Hope the Stars Promotion have already convinced him to do another year with us, as he is really loved here and by the words coming from him he loves it here too!

Should be the first name in their team, and they should be doing everything humanly possible to get him back on his steal of a 7.02 average. Will 100% kick on next season and be the 8.00 assessed rider he was brought in on

I definitely wouldn’t keep Wojdylo either, he never seemed that settled in the team either - especially after Vadim and Tobi walked. I would certainly try my hardest to keep the core of the team that has finished the season intact. Interesting and quite cryptic post by KL today on social media calling Jan, NKI and Anders the 3 “pillars of consistency”, I read that as a hint towards next season, don’t know about anyone else…?

But have you considered the option as to whether Birmingham want to retain Flint or not? I mean, yes, they would be silly not too considering D Thompson and Rowe have graduated from it now meaning Leon should in theory be the strongest in the league, but stranger things have happened in British Speedway

Our averages always get dragged down because we are so inconsistent away, which is why we’re never in the play off hunt as we get hammered by 20+ away and can never get an aggregate point. I’ll cut Jan and Patryk some slack because it was pretty much their first time visiting most of the away tracks, but Basso for example Home GSA - 7.50 away GSA - 5.09

NKI has been relegated assuming he stays with Gdansk. Theres also a lot of their riders you haven’t included: Brennan - if he leaves Gdansk Musielak Kurtz potentially Blodorn maybe Wojdylo Rew Zischke Masters maybe Howarth maybe Klindt - if he leaves Gdansk

Suppose it doesn’t get any clearer than that!

Has that been confirmed? Lot of uncertainty and rumours to the contrary

Think he has verbal commitment to continue with Brum in ‘25

Wishful thinking and a bit too optimistic I fear. I’ll go: 1. Basso R/R 2. Rowe* 3. Iversen 4. Harris (g) 5. Kvech 6. S Lambert (g) 7. Kerr *New averages come into force from today seeing Rowe move in to the 1-5

As Sheffield have now re-declared their lineup with R/R instead of Harris, could Ipswich now re-declare theirs with Harris instead of Lidsey or Brennan?

As Phil Morris has explicitly said, decisions are made on a “commercial basis” rather than for sporting reasons.

I’d also be surprised if he was. If Sheffield want to go top heavy again can see Musielak slipping his way back in

Kurtz - 9.18 Bewley - 8.74 (8.52) Cook - 6.99 Brennan - 6.76 (6.59) Total - 31.67 (31.28)

Even if the point limit remained the same, there’s no way you could fit that top 4 in. I also can’t see Brennan going back to BV as a second string - he wants to push on
