500cc Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Our fixtures won't start until Robert is 16! But teams need to be declared before THE start of the season not Kings Lynn's start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pass.. But I'm sure Buster will have that covered... He actually said last night that some of our home matches will be on Thursday instead. One would hope that our promotion will be able to avoid clashes this season B-)But teams need to be declared before THE start of the season not Kings Lynn's start of the season.Mere technicality!!!! :-D I hope!

semion Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 But teams need to be declared before THE start of the season not Kings Lynn's start of the season. So if Lynn named say Darren Mallet, then when Lambert became 16 and changed the team before a wheel had been turned, would that make you feel better ? You aint a Traffic warden by any chance, are you ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Rory: A seasoned heat leader, capable of easily putting a point on last season’s average. Rory, besides on outstanding season has been around the 6-7 mark. It seems season after season people still say he should put points on his average. Not at all convinced. However in a team with a strong top 2 he should have less pressure. Serious question - are all your Danes riding in the Danish League?? Bjerre says in SS that he doesnt have a Danish team place.

em1500uk Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Very happy with the team that's been put together Ultimately, the club's goal is to get into the play offs and win the league (as always!) but will I personally be bothered if we don't manage to do this next year? Not really. For me, win, lose or draw, whether we get into the play offs or not, I just want to be entertained and see some great racing. In the 7 riders we have, particularly from the 4 younger members (Robert, Nicklas, Lewis K and Lewis R) I think we should get that, without a shadow of a doubt. For some people to say we should win the league already is crazy talk. That's already putting unnecessary pressure on some team members! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I CAN still remember Michael Lee riding round Saddlebow Road after a meeting when he was just 15. Can you? And, if so, how does Lambert compare? Yes, wonderful memories, I was in the pits at Saddlebow Road talking with Andy Lee, the night when Ivan Mauger and Barry Briggs made a special journey just to witness Michael riding in the interval. At that age of 15yrs 6mths, Michael went round the track faster that night then anybody. and subsequently the 2 world champions acclaimed he was the best they'd ever seen. Lambert, at similar age, is on par with Michael Lee. Whether he continues along an equal path only time will tell... He's that good...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em1500uk Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Serious question - are all your Danes riding in the Danish League?? Porsing and Lambert are both in Outrup's team. Iversen is with Esbjerg. Apart from that, can't see Kenneth Bjerre announced anywhere. The alternative race night that was mentioned was Thursday. That night only clashes with Swedish Allsvenskan meetings I believe, but at present, no one out of the team has signed for an Allsvenskan club as far as I know. Brilliant team for 2014... I will be supporting you guys in the EL next season... The Kings Lynn Panthers!!! See ya there You won't go home disappointed (least I hope not anyway!)

Yep, awesome line-up but we MUST hope the injury demons keep well away. We've had plenty of awesome teams at the start of the season that looked totally different by the end.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Lambert is really as good as Lee then the rest of us may as well give up now! Didn't Lee average about 7.5 in his first year for King's Lynn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call them things beginning with the letter i 'you know whats' instead I don't even like to talk about them things anymore on here as last season was a complete joke with regards to that subject.

DiamondsRock Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Rory, besides on outstanding season has been around the 6-7 mark. It seems season after season people still say he should put points on his average. As a third heat leader in an even more watered down league, he'll easily add one point this year. Good team, will take some beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I wasn't trying to be funny or sarky, merely referring to Michael.s immense skills on a speedway bike. Got you on that, and understood. if he could take the best bits and toss the rest away. I am not so sure he is at the same level as Lee was at the same age. Lee pulled in an average of just over 7 at the age of of 16, in his first season, this was at level much higher than the current Elite League level. Also Lee at 15 was going around Saddlebow as quick as the riders in the main meeting. I really am not so sure that Lambert is at that stage.

Also Lee at 15 was going around Saddlebow as quick as the riders in the main meeting. I really am not so sure that Lambert is at that stage. Mike Lee was only going round an empty track to record those fast times, on an exceptionally quick machines, Lambert was racing 3 others riders when he was attaining a very creditable time of 59 sec in the Stoke meeting.. There wasn't a bigger Mike Lee fan than I, and have witness most of his achievements . But at this similar age of turning 16 I don't think there is much to choose between him and Lambert. In Mike's first year of competitive speedway, he rode in 88 matches, riding for both Boston as well as Lynn. including 16 individual meetings. At Boston his CMA was 9.92 and Lynn it was 7,64. He surprised and impressed many people in that first year and I don't see any reason why Lambert won't do the same. I wonder who will be the first top rider to be embarrassed by being beaten by a 16 yr old???? Edited December 13, 2013 by GRW123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Lambert broke the NL track record for saddlebow road last season. Definitely on par with the times in the EL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
