Definitely not for me Scott is well passed his best and his average is only going to go one way whereas I think Ty can easily up his 6.67 a bit, wouldn’t surprise me he finishes the year on close to a 7.00 as long as he can remain injury free.

So all the riders have been training together for several weeks, so they have presumably all been signed. What the hell is the big secret? What are the promoters trying to achieve?

What the hell is the big secret? What are the promoters trying to achieve? Strange weird to be honest,Chapman has been the front of British speedway what for three years now??? i have seen no progress whatsoever.His communication skills are either poor or he does not grasp that supporters want to be filled in on any issue and quickly.Speedway has always had this reputation of a secret society a closed shop decision's being made and not being released.Look i am not knocking him for putting his money in but he can't sit behind that he has to be transparent on everything rules (etc).My best friend came down from Stoke on Trent and we were talking about the teams in the Prem King's Lynn was mentioned.I said they have not got a team yet he laughed he said how can you sell the club for a press day club start if you have not got a 1/7 in place.It is like going to new restaurant but not knowing what the prices and menu are ok look all the Lynn fans will know there full team by February but that does seem a strange business decision.

waytogo28 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Beyond strange and a clear indication of a man who believes he is above everyone else and will always do things his way. There being NO other way to do things ( in his mind ). Nero fiddled as Rome burnt - quite a few similarities there it seems. Six months later it will be "Use it or lose it" and fans being blamed for losing interest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you really will have to explain how it and the non announcement of the team maximises media exposure. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very dangerous ploy to play waytogo28, in a way taking King's Lynn's loyal supporters for granted.Who can be sure who will turn up ? i know Swindon Robins fans who have been going as long as me yet they miss certain meetings now unheard of ten years ago.Also it would be interesting to hear what Lynn fans say on Robert how many now go just to follow him.??? Lynn over the years have had there folk heroes Bettsy, Mike, Tiddler (ect) to follow how many did they put on the gate.My point is if Robert give the UK a miss in the future how would King's Lynn's gates be looking then.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) This discussion seems to pop up every winter, personally I’m not bothered when riders are announced as long as we know by March but I can see the logic of revealing riders names one by one across several weeks in order to keep speedway in the news and in the minds of those people who don’t use forums and think about the sport 24/7. Everyone on here knows the team anyway so it’s really for the benefit of others. FWIW on paper I think we are going to be battling for 4th with two or three others but last season showed how inaccurate predictions can be Edited January 24, 2019 by Bagpuss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 any chance Scott Nicholls may turn up at Kings Lynn, I know he isn't the rider he was but well worth his current average, can't believe he hasn't got a ride in the premiership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Kings Lynn afford him though or would they sign him and realise afterwards that he was too expensive just like Buster has done at Peterborough with Harris, alienating fans and Ged Rathbone who is rumoured to be washing his hands of Panthers and walking away. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potman Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 On 1/22/2019 at 8:32 PM, Clive Ward said: If Tungate showed his Aussie Championships or National Speedway Stadium form at most other tracks in England he would be a steal on his average but unfortunately he doesn’t show that. Both PUK and Tungate were inconsistent last year, agree Tungate seems to have found good form in Aussie, so maybe would be the better of the two at AFA this year. Hopefully would make us stronger away from home. Although seems more likely that he will be a Pussy Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potman Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 On 1/22/2019 at 9:24 PM, Clive Ward said: To be honest if we don’t have NKI as back up to Robert I would be quite happy to see the following team at kings Lynn this year. 1 Robert Lambert 2 Lewis Kerr 3 Erik Riss 4 TJ 5 Ty Proctor 6 MPT 7 Kasper Andersen i think this team adds up to 42.42 and while we probably wouldn’t win the league we would be very competitive especially at home. In my opinion every rider has the potential to up their average and I would be supporting a team of kings Lynn riders not riders who are here this year and gone the next. The 1-7 I’ve quoted would definitely ride as a TEAM and do the stars proud this season. Good shout statto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's news for thousands basically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Well reading Dale Allitt's comments in this week's Star it would appear NKI is still very much an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
