clambo71 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Fair point, but I'd still expect him to leave Bjerre enough room to get round if he's brave enough, hed got alongside Doyle at the end of the home straight. I dont mind hard riding but personally not a fan of the Nikki Pedersen-style of nipping people right up so they have no choice but to bail out. sounds similar to the Iversen/proctor situation at Monmore when a lot of Lynn fans took the opposite view.

Steve Shovlar Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Pretty sure Rose only started last year,and it is Kerr that has been riding only 2 years.This is exactly why the draft system works so well and Inam totally behind it. Riders like Rose wouldn't have got a sniff of this experience under normal circumstances but he he is doing very well, and also impressing on Sky. I just hope the promoters stick with it and bring the PL on board, who are currently letting the idea down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I know the rules around instant RR changed but i couldn't remember if they allowed guests for all the 1-5. Makes more sense if its allowed. a big clue to the R/R rule was Leicester's use of 2 guests last night in Ryan Fisher & Sam Masters & no R/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 FFS I hate to say it....But Shovvy I agree with you !!! ( Dark room and sofa needed) The New draft has already thrown up a few surprises. Greenwood Looked good the other night. Rose, Jacobs, Morris, Blackbird and a few others I am sure can be thrown into the mix. Ok it wont work for all, but as long as we get some kind of production line going it has to be a win win situation. There of course a few teething troubles that need sorting, going forward, but then again did anyone really think there wouldnt be ? For me, its a massive step in the right direction, and deserves all the support the fans can give it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Central Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Pretty sure Rose only started last year,and it is Kerr that has been riding only 2 years. Lewis Rose started league riding in June 2012 and Lewis Kerr started in June 2010. All details are available on that wonderful website speedwayresults.com which holds rider records back to 2009.

Nobblytriers Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure Rose only started last year,and it is Kerr that has been riding only 2 years. I thought that Pearson mentioned it on the sky P'brough match, thought he said he changed over from motor cross two years ago. If what you say is right, then it's even more impressive, for both of them! Well done Team Lewis. And just as I posted that, there's some info in the post above. Thanks GC. edit for additional info Edited May 1, 2014 by nobblytriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesty1992 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Tom Perry felt he deserved more than the two points he managed on a tough night in the Elite League against King's Lynn. He says he is going to remain positive and the Leicester Lions should be proud of their efforts.

g13webb Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 sounds similar to the Iversen/proctor situation at Monmore when a lot of Lynn fans took the opposite view. Having witnessed both instances there was nothing similar about them at all. . In the Iversen/Proctor clash, Niels had taken Proctor, and had his eyes set on Pawlicki, Niels takes the inside line into turn 3, with Proctor behind. Coming out of turn 4, Niels go out wide to find more grip, chasing the leader. It is unfortunate Proctor came to grief, he came off in a slow gradual decent, having choose to lay it down, but it was his choice. Niels wasn't aware of where Proctor was, and there was never any contact. Kenneth never had no choice... Last night was completely different. On entering their third lap, Doyle and Kenneth were neck and neck, both having had their head in front at times. As they approach the 1st bend. Doyle on the inside, knew Kenneth was on the favoured outside run, so instead of taking the/his normal run into the corner, Doyle pushes Kenneth wide, leaving him no where to go. Kenneth shuts off, catches the dirt and is thrown onto the track, not the fence, head and shoulder first. It looked ominous from the start seeing the body bounce. I'm not saying that Doyle should've been excluded, to me it was hard riding. Unfortunate for Kenneth, but seeing some of the accidents at speedway, this has become the norm. It annoyed me at the time when Niels was excluded, that wasn't his doing, it still does, but that the problem we get when Referees sees thing differently. Last night I thought the Ref got it right...... News about Kenneth..

weatherwatcher Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I for one don't like the aggresive way of riding these days with riders being pushed into the fence. It is very bad manners and not the sort of thing you want to see in the sport. How long before someone, gets killed from these manovers. On another point, again it was the Lions, reserve pairng that lost them points again. The management must help them along with the riders to help them to up thier game. That is if they can be helped. There is no way the Lions are going to claim any points in the league with the pair claiming less than 5 points between them on a race night. Come on lads the fans and the management will only keep with you for so long. How come we ended up with them is beyond me, but I think that they where being helped before by Norrie Allen. He honestly thought that they had things to offer. Which has proved to be quite wrong so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Central Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I stand corrected . Not a problem. It is not helped by Sky commentators not being up to speed with the draft riders but nobody can be expected to know everything.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Perry rode hard for his points last night and was never far off the pace and max clegg certainly didn't seem like a "wobbler", given time they will come good, they could do with a bit of a confidence boost.They were always going to find it hard work last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Bjerre will have an operation on his broken collarbone tomorrow in Denmark, he will at least 3 Kings Lynn meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 With everyone bar Holder eligible to fill in (and Woffy away) there should be plenty of choice in terms of guest options. Shame Doyle isn't allowed to guest as part of his visa as he looked very good last night. With a bit of planning we might even be able to sort out horses-for-courses Poole style for May Get well soon Kenneth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Bad luck for Bjerre hope he don't take to long to heal.He was having a very good season up until this point bar the Coventry meeting. As for replacements do we go for horses for courses or a temp replacement.Could be a few riders willing to do a stint in May,maybe someone like Pedersen,Hancock,Sayfutdinov or Lindgren .Lindgren may jump at the chance as he hasn't been racing anywhere(would Sweden allow it).He would be ok at Belle Vue,Lakeside and Poole wouldn't he.

BANANAMAN Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 MJJ has a different mentality to Niels and Kenneth, It's not about the £££... It's about respect and loyalty. You have to agree that a short term move for MJJ would benefit the lad no end as the Lynn track is excellent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I hope we go with a guest and don't try and cover it with R/R Has the rules changed, Bjerre isn't Kings Lynn`s No1 so how can they use a guest facility as cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Can't see Buster going to the expense of setting up another rider in the UK for a few short weeks. Also can't see the need to fly riders when the likes of Nicholls, Batch, Harris, Watt are UK based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
