Coventry V Kings Lynn -monday 11th July - 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Surely the guest has to be for Willkinson?

 

The sport just stumbled from farce to joke daily. Lynn have taken the piss all year with Huckenbeck riding in the 1-5 despite having a lower average than Wilkinson/Rose so I'm not at all shocked Kings Lynn continue to get away with fiddling things.

The facility for a missing EDR is another EDR with a lower EL average, or a British PL rider with a lower PL average (not in an EL 1-5).

But isn't their missing draft rider Wilkinson, who has a 3.46 average which is lower than Howarth?

Lambert is just that back up rider.

17.5 TEAM LINE-UPS (new for 2016)

Team notifications (Art. 16.4.1) will nominate 7 riders for the meeting, whose MA does not exceed the Teams current Total MA. Necessary late changes do not permit a team line-up to be re-shuffled, unless it is necessary according to the rules. [A switch of the RR Facility from #2 to #4 is not permitted

17.5.1 Only one EDR (the one with the highest MA) may move into a Teams top 1-5.

17.5.2 Of the riders nominated for the meeting they will line up in the following positions

a) The 1st, 2nd and 3rd riders (by MA) must ride at either #1 #3 or #5.

B) The 4th and 5th riders (by MA) must ride at either #2 or #4.

c) The 6th and 7th riders (by MA) must ride at #6 or #7. NB, only an EDR may ride at #7.

Two 7 rider teams 15 heats of Speedway. That's the Sport the rest is just playing around the sport. Do other Sports have such issues week upon week, match after match ? It seems for every Elite league Fixture there is an issue with the make up of one and sometimes both of the teams.

Howarth in for Lambert who was brought in to replace Wilkinson? You could not make it up...

Kings Lynn have three EDR riders in their squad, Lewis Rose, Carl Wilkinson and Simon Lambert. Lewis rides for Kings Lynn tonight, Carl is riding for Scunthorpe. Simon is injured so is replaced by a guest under the EDR rules.

Quietly confident we (Bees) are going to get battered tonight.

 

We can but hope. I don't believe using Howarth has strengthened our team, specially how he has rode of late. Personally I'd preferred Paul Starke. Now that would have been an improvement.

 

But it'll all down to how they ride on the night. Yes, if all goes well, we could win. But on the other hand we could get clobbered. Should be good Television though.

But surely common sense should prevail? Howarth is a far more established rider than Wilkinson or Lambert for heavens sake irrespective of his recent EL form in fact i dont believe he should had qualified as a draft rider with his experience but that's another argument
