Bagpuss Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) From www.klstars.co.uk This coming Wednesday, the King's Lynn Young Stars are aiming to make it through to the next round of the National League Knockout cup competition when they face Stoke at the Norfolk Arena. King's Lynn suffered a 57-32 defeat to the Potters in the first leg, which gives the Young Stars a tough task to overturn the deficit and move on in the competition, but team manager Dale Allitt has revealed that the riders are determined to progress. Allitt said: "We have 25 points to make up but after the events at Stoke, the boys are fired up. Hopefully we can get a big crowd to cheer us on at the Norfolk Arena this Wednesday night, it makes a big difference when the supports turn out in force." The Young Stars side takes on a slightly changed lineup. Lewis Rose moves into the main body of the team having put in a number of impressive performances during recent meetings, while Shane Hazelden is the man to move down to reserve. Robert Lambert returns to the team having missed the first leg, his inclusion is a big boost for the Young Stars as they aim to make it into the next round. Gates open at the Norfolk Arena at 6:30pm. Admission prices: Adults: £10, Concessions: £8, Juniors (12-15 Years Old): £4, Kids under 11: £FREE King's Lynn Young Stars 1. Steve Worrall, 2. Shane Waldron, 3. Darren Mallett, 4. Lewis Rose, 5.

greyhoundp Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) This result is by no means certain, in that i fully expect The Young Stars to run out convincing winners, but the question is going to be, by how many? can the margin be by 25 points or more, for Stoke then they have to settle for running no last places, and every point is going to count as i expect it to go down to the wire, who will win overall, i am going to put my neck on the block, and say Stoke, and the reasoning behind that is, Stoke have a 25 point advantage in the bag, its The Young Stars who have to do the chasing.

greyhoundp Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I cant see The Young Stars reserves dropping points against there opposite numbers. I just don't know whats happened with Shane Hazelden, 2 years ago he came to Monmore Wood, and he had just got to No1 for Rye House, and he rode well, now here he is dropping back to reserve, I saw him earlier in the season at Monmore, there didn't look a lot wrong with him, except for not making the gate, and if anything over riding or trying to hard, and Im never going to criticise anyone for trying to hard.

Daniel Smith Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I said I wouldn't go to a Young Stars meeting again but never say never. See if I can find something to moan about this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craftman Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Stoke are a joke , 12 heats gone , not one heat winner yet !

Bagpuss Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Have some of that Mr Tattum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Can I respectfully suggest Mr Tatum challenge some his aggression toward the riders he has employed. Lucky that Mallet had an off night otherwise this really could been worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vog Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Embarassing from Stoke, but I expect nothing less away from home. I know it didn't make any difference, but anyone care to explain the comments on the updates about messing around with Reade's gate for 10 minutes before his TR ride? And Semion, for all I care Mr Tattum can take a running jump, and hopefully drag the former Mrs Tattum with him. They will be the death of Stoke speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Buster did a load of watering and track grading between heats 9 & 10. Look at the time for heat 9. As for Reade on T/R no Stoke rider was in the same postcode as Lambert after the 2nd bend. He really is a special talent. Someone is going to ask this sooner later but is Lambert that far of being Elite League standard now? Let alone in 12 months time. Be interesting to see what others think Buster did a load of watering and track grading between heats 9 & 10. Look at the time for heat 9.

vog Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Fair enough, just curious as to having a track grading break, then the interval in the next heat! As for Lambert, it wouldn't hurt him to have a season or 2 in the PL. It did Tai Woffinden no harm, and not taking a season probably harmed Lewis Bridger in the long run. Either way, he needs to ride more than just KL, or this whole experiment of him coming over seems a bit pointless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vog Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Coming over? Riding in Britain. He could quite easily have continued to ride on the continent against better riders, and come into the PL when he turned 16. Instead, he has made the choice to ride in Britain as well. Thus far he has ridden in 2 home meetings, while missing the Stoke away meeting. He needs to ride at more than just KL, or he is wasting his time. Unless of course he is on a financial package that puts the NL to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Vog I wasn't suggesting Lambert should go Elite next season. Just opening up a debate to see if people think is already good enough. As for Wuffy didnt he guest quite a bit in the Elite while at Rye? Also think Darcy Ward rode for Belle Vue a few times in his one season in the Premier League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
