Speedball Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Those under 3:31 from 2016 (brace yourself): Lee Payne 2.68 Zack Wajknecht 2.63 (at Swindon) Ellis Perks 2.38 (at Rye House) Nathan Greaves 2.32 Oliver Greenwood 2.12 Josh Bailey 2.05 Dan Halsey 2.00 Danyon Hume 2.00 Danny Phillips 2.00 Darryl Ritchings 2.00 Tom Stokes 2.00 (now retired) Greaves and Bailey are the obvious choices but believe Greaves is heading elsewhere.

John Scrutton Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Would also like to see Josh Bailey as No7 for Lynn. But who knows whether Belle Vue Leicester or Coventry as running in 2017. I hope they do, but if not their will be a lot of riders with no where to go.

mdmc82 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Kings Lynn are looking really strong if they can avoid injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 So, having a fish around it looks like Mitchell Davey is the other option, now riding NL as dual national and has a PL average of 3.00 from 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Dodging all the snipes about sticking up for a local paper vs sticking up for speedway, I would like to concentrate on the team. I think it has playoff potential for sure. If Batchelor and Porsing can do well, they could be a very strong side to beat at home and a really good move by them to sign Chris Holder. I would say they are the dark horses so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beevers Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Grow up. C. Holder wouldn't of given KL a thought. If we offered him a 2017 contract. I wanted KK as our No.1 from day 1. Tbh I am being biased on this one as I am a big fan of KK's. I wanted Chris Holder in our team as well but due to averages that was not possible. I am suprised he didn't shoot down Gordon Bennett on his rather fair post on Poole going down the non Holder route which I also highlighted was a reasonable strategy that could be understood. However it seems he doesn't like any poster stating this or anything to do with Poole regardless of the team they support or whether they are a new or old poster unless you are a Kings Lynn fan of course. Personally I think the poster has issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzAssStar Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Grow up. C. Holder wouldn't of given KL a thought. If we offered him a 2017 contract. Oh the irony of your first comment. Poole didn't give Chris Holder a contract though did they............ instead they dumped him in the mire with a very real risk of not securing a UK team place. If KL could fit him in so could have Poole (both started with same points availability for team building) ................... instead Fraud chose to dump him............. so why not face FACT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I can't see how any Australian can fit with under four points to play with. Kozza's last average was over six was it not? New assessed Aussies come in on five and as far as I'm aware no foreigner can come back on less than four however low their average was from the previous year.

I take it things have changed since we signed Darcy.I'm sure we signed him on a 3 didn't we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say they are the dark horses so far. Dark horses? I'd say it's apparent that they are one of three trams named so far that could win the league. Poole still favourites imo, but this kl side id say just shades the wolves side, though clearly that depends on final wolves signings.

Gavan Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Proof that you can build a decent side with a top notch number one. Obviously there are issues with Holder and Ford and it wouldn't surprise me if Holder never rode for Poole again. This Lynn team looks strong and may well start favourites 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted KK as our No.1 from day 1. Tbh I am being biased on this one as I am a big fan of KK's. I wanted Chris Holder in our team as well but due to averages that was not possible Anyway NEW POST! KL have built a very very good line-up for 2017 no matter who fills the No.7 spot. KL & Poole fighting it out for top spot imo. Good luck to Chris at KL. No doubt we will see him back in a Poole race suit one day. KL fans get behind Chris. Don't knock him down if he has a poor meeting (Accusing him of average fixing). He is one of the very few GP boys fully committed to British Speedway. Your team has made a big mistake as Holder is more reliable than KK also there is more to come from Chris a fresh start will do Chris the world of good.It is great than Lynn have put a good side together that has to be good for the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Decent lineup should make top four if they steer clear of injuries.same goes for Poole. If they can keep a fully fit 1-7 then I can see Poole possibly grabbing that 4th play off spot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 A completely full function room of fans, great to see, even after the cats were let out of the bags on social media lol Buster will be continuing to do the track but Rob Lyon has taken over all other responsibilities re the speedway so it's his baby now, he has loads of plans, is looking forward to his new challenge so everything looks rosy to me. Dale has his new challenge as full time team manager as well as assisting Scott Campos with the youngsters so his hands are pretty full. A dedicated team 😊 I'll echo what Rob said last night, (the Tesco advertising must work ha), 2017 Season, BRING IT ON 😃 Thanks to everyone who bought tickets in the Supporters Club Xmas Stars themed raffle, one or two prizes there money can't buy 😊 Look out for details of a function or two we hope to run in the new year 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Looks like an excellent team, fair play to Kings Lynn, would definitely go for Bailey at 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
