flagrag Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I would have had Barker at Leicester rather than Ullamek or new No1 but couldn't happen once he signed for Glasgow as they were not happy to have him racing most weeks the night before their home meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I done that to SL,mind you mine was more 90's and 2000's .The banter was better even between the supporters but with very little travelling folk now the banter just isn't there.Put all this with the some stupid H&S laws,the do-gooders where you have to be careful what you say,other European leagues and the current economic climate it just wont seem the same anyway.

Haza Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) So back to my original point why have we switched race nights if Barker is our new signing why oh why have we changed race night for a Pl rider that's been around the block and to be honest has never made it ? All we've done is lost Lewis Kerr to gain exactly what ? I could have understood the change if we'd signed a rider that race regularly on Wednesday in Denmark but to gain Wilko deffo and Barker I hope not , why have we changed ? Disappointed ain't the word Edited February 6, 2016 by Haza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 My suspicion is that the race night was changed to accommodate Mads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them being EL assets we get the dibs on them all too. Barker and Stead are PL riders we need a no1 other than the fact we can't get a no1 what's the point in signing either rider ? We must be near on 5 points under the points limit if Barker is the final rider -It seems gone are the days when near on every rider wanted to race for Kings Lynn . At this moment it's very dissapointing. Edited February 7, 2016 by Haza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looks like Barker will come in on his 2014 EL average of 5.85 1. Batchelor 6.91 2. Barker 5.85 3. Lambert 6.59 4. Korneliussen 5.95 5. Schlein 6.24 6. Wilkinson 3.20 7. Rose 3.00 Ave: 37.74 (2.76 available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose 3.00 Ave: 37.74 (2.76 available) that's a very poor team -for me Rory is a concern who knows what he will come back like after serious injury and the thing is in a team with no number 1 the pressure is on Rory from race 1 - that 6.24 average could take some reaching - and also a wasted 2.76 is a joke . Come the first set of averages I can see that figure being greater . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Whilst Barker isn't the signing a lot would be hoping for, king's Lynn do have a number 1 in Batchelor. He is capable of being a good rider but needs to focus. Maybe we will see that happen now he has different people around him. When you look at the number ones for the 8 teams this year, quite a few of them are riders who can be unpredictable or have struggled for form in the past. Belle Vue- Zagar Coventry - Kaspazak Lakeside - AJ Leicester- Ulamek? Poole. - Holder Swindon- Doyle Wolves- Klymakorpi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Excuse me but are you questioning Doyle at 1for Swindon here??? Doyley is the best number 1 in the league by miles, his averages on the past 3 seasons prove this. His form over Europe backs this up. He was the most sought after rider this winter & that's for his scoring power. I think you need to rethink Doyle myself.

I think Doyle & AJ are good number ones. Holder, KK & Zagar have the talent but have had times where they have struggled. Klymakorpi is a good rider but not a number one imo esp away from home. Batchelor should be capable of mixing it with them all, if King's Lynn can get the best out of him. I think a break from Rosco will do him some good.

Clive Ward Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I can't think of many no1's out there to sign. No way will Emil come to England and I can't see buster signing a pole. Realistically I can only think of Jepsen Jensen or Thomas H who would be likely to come. Don't think Kenni Larsen or Sundstrom is a no1 though at this stage I wouldn't say no to either.

DWP Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just a thought, if we have Barker as a Double-Upper then that will also mean we can include Porsing, Stead etc as squad members, the same as Lakeside's done??

Just a thought, if we have Barker as a Double-Upper then that will also mean we can include Porsing, Stead etc as squad members, the same as Lakeside's done?? With them being EL assets we get the dibs on them all too. I'm not sure how accurate reports of squads are. However I have worked out as fixtures stand, that Nicklas could do 9 meetings for Lynn, where there is no schedule clash. His 2015 Stars kevlars are hanging in my office, should a request be made. Peterborough are his UK team this year and his aim is to be the Panthers No.1. At present he cannot double up as he doesn't have an official PL average plus his Swedish team Vargarna race Thursday nights. Vargarna really look after Nick, so he has great loyalty to them, so there is no question where he races on a Thursday. He also has Stal Rzeszow in Poland which he is available for 13 scheduled fixtures as it stands at the moment. As a Lynn asset, this year is about getting back on track in UK, proving himself at Peterborough and stamping his place for the Stars in 2017. My suspicion is it wasn't. No it wasn't - Mads rides for Varde in Denmark. They race Friday's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do Larsen a disservice. He out averaged Jepsen Jensen by two points a match in Poland and finished above Kildemand, Iversen, Doyle, Zagar and Holder in the Polish Extraliga averages.

Kenni Larsen would be an excellent no1 Jepsen Jensen would do a good job as well I'd guess neither wants to ride in England or not for Kings Lynn either is take if they would come over a PL rider .
