semion Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Meanwhile back at the ranch......The Clock is ticking away to the start of the season and still no hint at Kings Lynn having talked a Number one into joining. This is so un Busteresk. Normally he doesnt leave things to chance or the last minute, but it seems we cannot have too many options, if any.

foreverblue Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes there is, knowingly allowing another team to break the rules and allowing it is rolling over. So what rule have we broken for this years team building? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Could I politely remind you , this thread is entitled Kings Lynn 2016. If anyone wants to debate other teams and previous seasons can I respectfully request you go to your own playgrounds and quarrel. We have enough problems without putting up with old arguments that will change nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 So on a night when a rider was being remembered, "Rule breaking" was decided as the best way to honour him. There is absolutely nothing insensitive at all about bringing up an occasion (as asked) when rules were broke. It was previously agreed that both sides could use there D/u riders hence Lakeside also had both their d/u riders who should have shared the same berth and would not normally have been riding in the same match . Therefore Poole also "rolled over" in your words and agreed to that. To a normal person was a trade off to get a decent match on in unusual circumstances. Read what people were saying at the time about the match being a fitting tribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally he doesnt leave things to chance or the last minute, but it seems we cannot have too many opitions, if any. in my opinion Kenneth is favourite for the no 1 position each day that passes looks more and more likely it wil be him .

Reviresco Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 How many points do the Stars have available for their last two riders - I haven't a clue what average Mads Korneliussen would start on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why Polite ? No need to change just for that poster. Fair enough. Will all you wanting to debate past controversial issues P!55 OFF to your own threads . That includes El Whatsit. 4evB, Btwitch and Arian.

SCB Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Firstly, sorry Lynn fans. It was previously agreed that both sides could use there D/u riders hence Lakeside also had both their d/u riders who should have shared the same berth and would not normally have been riding in the same match . Therefore Poole also "rolled over" in your words and agreed to that. To a normal person was a trade off to get a decent match on in unusual circumstances. Read what people were saying at the time about the match being a fitting tribute. Some serious twisting of the truth going on here. Poole did NOT use both double uppers. They used neither. Ludvig Lindgren was not available (Swedish semi-final I seem to remember. Which is why Jonas Davidson and Ricky Kling were both missing too) and as a result his double up partner Sam Masters was set to ride. Sam failed a late fitness test. The rules at the time said any facility was for the lower averaged rider. Sams average was higher than Szczepaniaks so it meant he (Masters) rode in the 1-5 but Lindgrens average was lower than Szczepaniaks so when he (Lindgre) rode he had to ride in reserve while Szczepaniak rode in the 1-5. As a result of Sam failing a fitness test it meant any facility rather than being for Masters would in fact be for Lindgren. So Kurtz replaced Lindgren (thats fine) BUT somehow rode in the 1-5. As a result not one of Pooles double uppers rode. So no idea where this "agreement" that both teams would use both double uppers come from. Now Lakeside, they were obviously missing the late Lee Richardson but as mentioned above Jonas Davidsson was riding in a Sweden (semi-)final too. So they needed to use R/R and a guest. They used Robbo as a guest for Jonas (or possibly pick Robbo as their double upper and used Kauko as a guest - it makes no difference as both were 5th in Lakesides averages regardless of who rode and both could guest in place of Jonas). So Lakeside didn't need any permission to use their second double upper as technically he was guesting. Lakeside did nothing wrong (directly), while Poole had a guest for a 3.8 rider in the 1-5 while a 4 point rider rode in reserve! Poole cheated and Lakeside did nothing about it. If Poole cheating which saw them win a last heat decider against Lakeside is seen as a "fitting tribute" in the eyes of some then I think they're mad!

If anyone wants to debate other teams and previous seasons can I respectfully request you go to your own playgrounds and quarrel. We have enough problems without putting up with old arguments that will change nothing. I've already apologised and said to continue with the Lynn thread. I was asked a question, I answered it. As said, some don't like the answer and are now trying to argue against it.. I will say no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 How many points do the Stars have available for their last two riders - I haven't a clue what average Mads Korneliussen would start on? Mads is 5.95 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mads is 5.95 I believe. Thanks Steve. So with Batchelor, Schlein, Lambert, Mads & Rose announced, I make that 11.81 points left to recruit a Heat Leader/Second String and a Tier 1 Reserve. If KB is re-signed on his closing 5.87, that still leaves a further 5.94 for the Tier 1 which, imo, would leave the Stars too far away from the 40.50 Limit and must rule out KB then.

Bagpuss Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 in my opinion Kenneth is favourite for the no 1 position each day that passes looks more and more likely it wil be him . Are you being sponsored for how many times you can mention his name on this thread? He wouldn't be number one anyway, he wouldn't even be a heat leader. Signing him would leave us way short of the points limit and is hardly going to get people rushing through the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth's form was shocking last year but the last straw for me was his blocking of Bomber, can't forget that lack of team spirit!That peed me off more than any loss of form. In fact his whole lack of connection with the club and fans since signing for us has been poor IMO. So I'd rather have anyone but KB 😐 Edited January 14, 2016 by Trees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the change of night for a rumoured Danish rider surely it would favour someone other than Bjerre? Let's hope for the Stars that's the case. Is there anyone on the draft list with a converted average as high as 5.94 anyway? Howarth I believe on 5.51 is the highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be number one anyway, he wouldn't even be a heat leader. Signing him would leave us way short of the points limit and is hardly going to get people rushing through the gate. Well, KB is on the HL List, so that makes him an EL HL for the purposes of team building... With the change of night for a rumoured Danish rider surely it would favour someone other than Bjerre? Let's hope for the Stars that's the case. Is there anyone on the draft list with a converted average as high as 5.94 anyway? Howarth I believe on 5.51 is the highest. Unless the change of race night was simply as a prelude to and an indicator of a fixed EL race night from 2017, agreed on both points Steve and, as you say, the change of night was linked to the signing of a rider rather than anything else. On this basis then, KB should be discounted from the 2016 Stars team and he can be free to take his services elsewhere - Peterborough fans seem keen on him. (I did see that he had an operation back in November to alleviate arm pump, so it looks as if he will be taking this year seriously.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
