Shadders Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 They should be with the money they're paying riders & good luck to them & hope it's not another Belle Vue. How much are they paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Before a wheel has turned I'd say Poole. I fancy our chances at Rye House too if the top four can all consistently perform. Kasprzak at Rye House ? Really ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 He'll probably have 24 hour flu and they'll bring a track specialist in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Kasprzak is perfectly competent on small tracks, if he can be bothered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 How much are they paying? Don't know figures but Bomber is on one hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Kasprzak is perfectly competent on small tracks, if he can be bothered. KK is competent on any track. It's always down to if he can be bothered. Rarely had a great meeting at Wolves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Don't know figures but Bomber is on one hell of a deal. Bomber is most overrated rider in the UK. Never made the jump to a great rider just very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Kasprzak at Rye House ? Really ? 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.

WestGorton1884 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited February 2, 2017 by WestGorton1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 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... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 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.

Gavan Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Post from COL: 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. 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......
