kelvinht Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 So, Ippo lose again, if swindon beat them in their final home match then by my reckoning that makes it interesting for us stars. Win at Wolves and our final two home matches, puts us in with a sniff of playoffs :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before a wheel had turned that Lynn won't get nothing away, and i'm right. Not that I wanted to be. I believe Buster buying 2 more clubs has hurt Lynn this season. He said he was going all out to go one better than last season, but that seemed to go out of the window after he bought the other clubs. And most Panthers fans moan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) We won’t win at Wolves (or Poole) while Buster has a hole in his bottom. Unlike last year we are nowhere near good enough on the road this season. Edited August 30, 2019 by Bagpuss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 We need to start getting 3 or 4 rider signed up for next year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you don't know if there will be a pay 'policy' to drive down costs - might be fewer teams with riders chasing places which would drive down pay Do you really believe all those things haven't already been thoroughly discussed at BSPA meetings prior to the 'rubber-stamping' at the AGM?

Bagpuss Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 So who would we have back of the guys who have ridden this year? Robert - absolutely, has been a bit disappointing this year but there is scope to increase his average by quite a bit if he wants to ride in the UK. Craig - yes if the points limit allows but think it would be tough to fit he and Robert both in. Erik - big fat yes, no brainer. Tomas - not for me, great at home but pretty awful away unfortunately. MPT - yes, particularly if at reserve. Lewis - only if as a number seven. Hasn’t achieved what I thought he would this year unfortunately, desperately want him to do well as a local lad but despite a great season in the second division his away form for us hasn’t been great. Niklas - no, just hasn’t worked out. Simon - handy as a guest at home but that is all for me. Ty - not for me, after a great 2018 he was disappointing this year. Kasper - there is obviously a cracking young rider in there going by his Redcar scores but he just can’t ride Lynn’s grippy surface so unless that changes there is little point unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Agree with most of this. Think Lewis started slow, unsurprising after his injuries last season, but has been making good progress lately, so I'd have him in. Regarding fixed race nights, almost worked as a lot less clashes, the tweak it needs is to split matches over Mon and Thurs, 2 each night at most to leave options for suitable guests for injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be pretty impossible to fit MPT in at reserve on a 6.3 average. As for Cook, not sure anyone will want him next year. He's more trouble than he's worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Changes are much needed if Buster is serious about Lynn. Lynn have far to many home "Track specialists" If that's the right word Heres the top 6. Lambo H 8.27 A 7.12 Cook H 8.17 A 7.24 Riss H 8.00 A 5.30 TJ H 7.71 A 3.78 MPT H 7.44 A 5.28 Kerr H 7.09 A 4.20 Home 46.63 Away 32.00 Who is the number 7... You have Simon H 4.47 A 1.38 …. Nick H 2.91 A not rode yet. As you can see the engine room are all good at the AFA. With only just over 1 point between the highest, Lambo and the 6th Kerr. That's strong. But look at the away, and there is the main reason the Stars have the worst away record in the league this season and sit 6th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Broc Nichol has to be one for next year. Josh Pickering another. Riss, Lambert and MPT to return 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 After reading Dale Allits piece in the Speedway Star , it seems Craig is not a well man. Get well soon Cookie we need you in the Stars team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 The real problem seems to be that Craig should not be piloting a powerful motorcycle in close proximity to three other riders, while he is so unwell. Referees, track doctors / medics, team managers should step in much, much sooner rather than sending a rider in such a state out to race ( or allowing them to ride again ). Naturally ,Craig needs lots of help with his mental health issues before he is allowed to ride again. If he is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't happen he'll be riding at Glasgow tonight being the hero as usual ....he brings it all on himself being an arrogant ar@e , trying to act big and tough, he's not professional enough to make it abroad or in the GP's . Tantrums at tracks then cites he's not well , he should have been fined for his performance on Sunday at the CLRC just couldn't be arsed , he wasn't ill, once he knew he couldn't ride the track that was it game over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like Craig need support not abuse from prats like you. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
