thecoombdog Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 We know he can fly round Lynn for sure. I reckon Darcy's accident has affected him big time (as it has all the Aussies) so we will see ...... He was bottling big races and giving up in races long before Darcy's awful accident so that's not an excuse IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 He was bottling big races and giving up in races long before Darcy's awful accident so that's not an excuse IMO. Well, considering he finished with a 6.91 CMA and bottled all those races, he must be pretty special. . I like to remember the SGP when he put 6 race wins together and was only beaten by Niels in the final. Now that the positives that I like to remember.... I'm sure he'll do really well at AFA... .. Easily a top 12 performer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubichair Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) If that's his average what a bargain for Lynn if he signs could easily put well Over a point on his average! Rory batchelor porsing bjerre lambert Kerr rose. that's the team I think we will go with Edited December 6, 2015 by hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Bathelor is not a rider I like but I would put up with it. But I hope K Bjerre isn't in the team as he was dreadful this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubichair Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Confirmed Troy batchelor But we have lost Kerr which is a blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy17 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Batchelor confirmed. Also confirmation of race night change to Thurdays AND Kerr out of the team... Also says Batchelor fills one of the heat leader roles, which emplies Lambert isn't a heat leader you'd think. http://www.kingslynnstars.co/2015/12/06/stars-sign-aussie-international-batchelor/ Edited December 6, 2015 by speedy17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just a thought, could Ben Barker get the reserve spot? Noone seems to know who was and who wasn't on the reserve list, so who knows! I suspect this may be one of the reasons why the draft was done furtively. I am sure there are other options out there, as Jon Cook mentioned of a 'Plan B' if Blackbird didn't return. Despite what others say, I think Batchelor is a fine signing, and always performed well at King's Lynn - even when it was wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Underwhelmed by Batchelor but Rob and hopefully Rory can get the best out of him. At his best he's terrific, he just doesn't do his best very often. I'm not too fussed about Kerr going, new baby, coming ba ck after big crash could affect his form certainly in first half of the season. If we could wangle Barker at reserve I'd love it. But I'd prefer him to Porsing or Bjerre, anyone but Bjerre would ge my approval Edited December 6, 2015 by Star Lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's just getting worse for the Stars. No idea why they signed Kerr if the plan was to switch to Thursday , seems total madness. However at least we know that the EL is likely to fall in line with the rest of Europe and try ensure we give the top boys what they want. Hopefully it's a sign the EL is starting to recover and bring strength back to it. If it means we have to change our speedway habits so be it.

If you read the Batchelor story properly you will see Lynn informed Kerr that the race night could change before he signed for Ipswich. Also reading the press release I wouldn't be surprised if a Dane or two were announced for 2016. Edited December 6, 2015 by tellboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also reading the press release I wouldn't be surprised if a Dane or two were announced for 2016. I read it properly. I'm surprised that Lynn picked Kerr given they were considering a change of night. Unless of course they weren't expecting him to sign for a Thursday track. It seems the likely other Danes are someone like Bjarne, mads or Michelsen with only the latter being anywhere near worth being happy about.

mdmc82 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Batch and Kenny in the same team Ouch what bad news for Kings Lynn. They lose a star reserve in Kerr and gain Batchelor. Good news for Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigbo Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Batchelor and Bjerre together. Let's see who can out-whinge the other. KL best hope for a dry Summer with those two in the team!! Edited December 6, 2015 by frigbo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
