I think Chris Harris as been a credit to the sport in this country , his 'never say die' attitude

as earned him admiration from Speedway fans everywhere ...... well nearly everywhere

I'm a Rye fan, I fancy our chances in the league if our top four perform consistently throughout the season.

 

Kasprzak will be more than competent at Rye though.

Rye have a good team and should do well.

Your strongest opposition at home, in theory, should be Wolves. Similarly I expect our 2 toughest matches at Monmore to be against the Rockets. Harris and Nicholls are track specialists.

I haveb always rated Bomber, never quite made it in the GP series, had the great win at Cardiff, but always seems to have a couple of "duck eggs" early in meeting and then is up against it to get to the semis/final.. How many times has he scored 5 or 6 points, and if only he'd had a win or second place in his first couple of rides.......

 

In league speedway, here in the UK he has been a great servant and a credit to the sport. How many times has he ridden through the pain barrier for Cov? When others, especially the foreign legion miss meetings for hayfever, headache, broken fingernail?

 

Hope he has a renaissance season for Rye...

Two of the nine teams are yet to announce a rider, hard to predict anything until they are completed....

 

Indeed. Belle Vue & Leicester could blow the league away :) Lets hope so.

 

Of those announced I think there is allot of potential in the Kings Lynn team, whether they can reach that potential I don't know, may depend if Holder is interested in average reduction to return to Poole. The Rye House team is a solid but unspectacular septet. Wolves will be a 3 man team IMO, the Bee's are basically hoping Bjerre is rejuvenated, and avoiding any 0's on the score card. Somerset should be OK at home but their are few heat wins on the road for that team. Think Coventry & Somerset went down the root of least last places for team building purposes.

 

As for 'the special ones' Poole, spent force but useful top end I guess, whether they can do the business when it matters, I have my doubts. I don't rate Kurtz - he was incapable of completing a lap of Monmore in the playoffs, that doesn't bode well. Never seen J Holder, Newman is plucky rider.

Poole have a strong number one but he is known to missing at times, apparently that won't happen this season as he loves Poole. Hans also has his best years behind him but they have a fairly strong top 2. The 3rd heat leader position is a worry but it means they will always have strong second strings. For Klindt see Kasprzak. Capable of big scores but also shockers. Shanes will do his job but needs to learn to gate. Strong side and will make the play offs. To many ifs and buts for me but I'm sure Ford will make changes if it goes wrong

​Response:

 

Had you witness Holder being introduced to the Fans at Lynn and listened to him and Troy talking you would realise that all Holder wants is to prove a point to Poole. It was obvious he wasn't pleased that Poole had dropped him and wants nothing more then to prove them wrong. This could be the alkalise heel that tips the scales in the Stars direction..

 

Weather we win the league or not, the one thing I'm confident about is that Chris Holder will thorough enjoy his time riding for the Kings Lynn Stars,,,,, He won't let us down......
