Daniel Smith Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 We as a fan really need something to look forward to within this season. Pride & passion clearly missing from the management team imo. Buster has pretty much assured us that we're remaining Elite in 17. JC has hinted at a couple of changes for next season i.e. track prep and PR which fingers crossed that's correct. Team wise, very difficult to be realistic rather than stupid choices like Sayfutdinov, Dudek etc. Going by suggestions that the EDR will be dropped, 6 man teams a no go and working by current average setups, May be: 1. Iversen 8.99 2. Porsing 4.70 3. Lambert 6.92 4. Rose 5.00 5. Smolinski 7.56 6. T.Kurtz 3.75 7. Huckenbeck 3.56 Average: 40.48 Not an overly inspired selection but can't think of much else to tickle the waters so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 1. Iversen 8.99 2. Lasse 4.90 3. Bjerre 5.87 4. Troy 6.26 5. Lambert 6.65 6. Huckenbreck 3.18 7. Porsing 4.70 Shade over 40.50, Troy owes Lynn another season giving how crap he's been, and Bjerre cant be as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Who said we wanted Batch. I said he is a possible option considering his average is actually going to drop to somewhere near 5 ish! 1.NKI=8.99 2.Aaron Summers=4.65 3.Lambert=6.92 4.Bjerre=5.87 5.Thomas H Jonasson=6.50 6.Huckenbeck=3.18 7.L.Kerr=4.31 40.42. I'm not a Lynn fan as you can tell but I enjoy team building and I think Bjerre and Summers would be good and THJ is a good signing on that average. You will have GP rider in NKI(hopefully), THJ former GP rider, Bjerre who missed by a whisker and future GP rider(hopefully) Lambert which is a strong team. 1.NKI=8.99 2.Aaron Summers=4.65 3.Lambert=6.92 4.Bjerre=5.87 5.Thomas H Jonasson=6.50 6.Huckenbeck=3.18 7.L.Kerr=4.31 40.42.

Bratchelor will be in demand as promotors will see him improving his average or will he be the new Travis McGowan who was always on a false average according to many. As for THJ who has been poor in Sweden this season he isn't worth a 6.50 average as is a waste of time in Britain for any average as is over rated big time.

LisaColette Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Shouldn't Batch's average be nearer to 3?? 😌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Although, it is expected the EDR will go, there must be some requirement of British riders. Each team to have say 3 Brits...... , One always at reserve If not we will all have a team of foreign hopefuls, and no chance for the Brits to improve.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 I never hinted, I know as much as you and simply gave my opinion after reading the most recent press release on the stars website.Your Dad's press release never mentioned anything about the track and PR, just that he knows things must improve next year. The one after Lakeside mentioned the track prep I guess (listening to the rides).Everyone will think u have inside info Jonathan, it's only natural!

I believe his average is 5.69 which might look tempting given his ability and was good forPoole when he rode but it would be too much of a risk in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 We risked Rory and Troy coming back from injuries this season. It didn't work. Not sure I'd risk Troy again even though he is on a low average. Wouldn't risk Bjerre either as he'd clearly lost his elite league mojo last season and who is to say he will be any better next season. Need to look for fresh young blood to freshen things up. Happy to keep Niels but only if he commits. Robert and team Lewis are musts. Jury is out on Porsing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each team to have say 3 Brits...... , One always at reserve If not we will all have a team of foreign hopefuls, and no chance for the Brits to improve.... I agree. Think there should be a minimum of 1 Brit at reserve and 1 in the top 5. Otherwise I think a lot of British riders will be out of work as only Coventry, Belle Vue & Lakeside seem to always include a lot of them.

Without knowing the exact details of the league next year, it is hard to pinpoint the makeup of riders we need, but like you, Lambert and team Lewis should be the first consideration, 3 Brits on the up. Obviously Niels if he commits to the schedule, coupled with Porsing who I think will only get better. These five will form the basis of a good side, that would only need to breath in some new young enthusiastic blood to motivate it to its full potential.. I think we have exhausted the old brigade and need some new STARS to connect with our deserving Fans.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mads kenneth and I'm sorry to say Rory as well shouldn't be considered though I doubt any would want to come back also I'd not have Kerr back either he's in the same position as Troy and Rory - and I wouldn't be surprised if we are looking for a new team manager as well as I think Rob will walk at end of season which is a shame as Dale certainly doesn't seem the man for the job .

Daniel Smith Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 A couple of middle order forgotten men just crossed my mind that are going well this season Andžejs Ļebedevs may be worth another shot on a 4.50 assessed average Timo Lahti seems to be on good form abroad with 5.45 average Kevin Wolbert his last EL average was 5.04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber and King as your top 2 because no one else will sign for you! Will be like Swindon when they weren't paying the riders, no one will want in.

Shale Searcher Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Trouble with having this must have brit at reserve, is, if he improves, he ends up in the main team, and a jonny foreigner ends up dropping to reserve, like "Klindt" at Leicester, and "Pedalbike" at Poole, and the improved British reserve gets battered in the 1-5, confidence disappears... bit like "Sargent" at Coventry... It's hard to find 8 young Brits of equal ability, that when ensconced at number 7, can stay at no 7 for the whole season, no matter his average....

therefused Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 a few riders i wouldnt mind seeing at Lynn next season, Nick Morris, Rohan Tungate, Wozniak and Masters could all prove decent signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 There will surely be one British rider from this year's EDR that will be at reserve in each team's 1-7 - and only allowed to go into a 2nd string position if good enough!?

Maybe so, but it still opens the door for the "Ringer" getting into the reserve spot.... Just have one Brit, must be under 24 yrs old, and stays at reserve all season, that's the only way to avoid "Pedalbike" or "Klindt" similar happening..
