  1. not at all those two clubs have the biggest sponsor, simple as that. a sponsor that my club had in 2017 but were unable to keep hold of let's not forget there is certainly no envy from me you will always have the richer and poorer clubs, thats sport but the best riders will go to those clubs, thats just the way it is
  2. and one he lives five minutes from and can practice on almost 24/7 might do him good
  3. i suspect its no coincidence that they are the two heavily sponsored clubs with the most financial clout im happy with boughen though his potential ceiling is higher than any of the others if it can be fulfilled
  4. you carry on being a miserable sod as ever, meanwhile the people who actually go to lynn will carry on enjoying their nights out and be happy about life 👍
  5. rowe has gone elsewhere s lambert would only work with a big scoring number one and we wont be getting one of those. itll be a solid team with a far better rider than simon at 6
  6. you have raced a speedway bike i havent however id argue that making the gate and having fresh air (board scraping or not) is quite different to being in close proximity to others entering bends if youve had a recent crash involving others it could make a rider reluctant to mix it when riders get close to eachother id argue that balls and confidence can be two different things
  7. adam allott averaged ten at lynn and around four away while riding for the stars at lynn he generally made good gates and would beat the leagues top men by quarter of a lap, he was small and light and very quick but away from home and even at lynn when he didn't gate he could lose to the worst number sevens as hed just shut off into every bend very frustrating rider
  8. someone has said it was the same part of the straight where masters was turning one could argue that scott was in front and can turn when he likes within reason
  9. i presume you are a parody account as the air fence is one of the best innovations speedway has ever come up with
  10. he has lots of speed bravery and aggression, seems to me that he needs a mentor to help him harness that and remove the dangerous side because as its stands he is a danger to others and that mentor needs to advise him on his off bike behaviour too as some of that stuff last night was unacceptable and not befitting of a professional speedway club but underneath it all could be a very good rider in the future if the right mentor can be found
  11. i do wonder if this is being overplayed a bit unless im mistaken its one meeting a week on a Thurs for polish telly and id have thought that can be worked round if ive got that wrong then @racers and royals will correct me and at the end of the day its only 12 regular home meetings per side the problem will come with rearranged fixtures I guess but that is where mr morris comes in to get the two governing bodies working together more
  12. time will tell a lot of things lynn related there is an unbelievable amount of absolute rammel on this thread will ne nice for the team to be named so that people can whinge about that rather than stuff that isnt and wasnt ever going to happen
  13. good luck getting that team under the champs points limit its only about 15 points over i think we saw at the end of last season what can be achieved with a solid line up, add a heavyweight reserve to that and a bit of luck with injuries and things could go well i just dont think a big name number one is likely for a number of reasons
  14. he has said that riding over here improved him overall he indicated at the end of the season that hed like to return but we shall see
  15. because hes ridden for us before because he is excellent round lynn because leicester might need to let him go to get under the points limit and at the end of the day these kinds of threads are about predictions/ wishlists / speculation and essentially having a bit of fun i dont think anyone would be surprised if he remains a lion but you never know
  16. disagree he has underperformed this year he would start on just under seven after the brit reduction and would stick at least a point on that with poole as a home track imo
  17. foord is a decent prospect but really needs to concentrate on doing four laps
  18. too many bv riders went awol that night at pboro worralls wright and etheridge got a paltry thirteen between them we'll never know what difference kurtz hans and ulrich would have made but it felt like pboros name was on the trophy that year and that they deserved it
  19. most sensible people recognise that hes good enough to be included in what should be the best fifteen riders in the world its not a popularity contest
  20. more of a lead than i expected oxford to achieve but i fear it wont be enough words fail me re heat twelve
