Gasser90 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Kingsley is rated 3 stars, I think Peterborough have the lowest star rated rider in Jordan palin only rated 1 star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Mixed feelings about Kingsley, to me he kind of fits what the scheme should be about as he is local, a club asset and reasonably young, however he is weak compared to others and is going to struggle away from Lynn if not at home too. However on the other hand he is probably past the point where he is ever going to be an established top flight or international rider IMO. Would rather have Ryan than Bates or Bacon who really shouldn’t be in the scheme at all but can’t help but being envious of Kemp, Brennan and Palin. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ambition from management yet again In the write up it says it all really,he's one of Allitt's boys.There is Greaves,Mountain and Shanes amongst others who i would have picked ahead of Kinsley.Very disappointed with the option we have gone for.Needed to get cover at work for 8 out of 10 of the matches at least i won't get to disappointed if i don't get cover for some.That's how i feel at the moment,very flat.

Speedball Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Guess I shouldn’t be surprised but just smacks of the easy option. Enormous gulf between the likes of Bates and Kinsley. Ryan could be a spoiler at home but fear for him away. Just hope the promotion to the main team doesn’t have the same effect on Ryan as it did Josh Bailey. Travelling for hours to run 0, 0, 0 and be off the pace will do nothing for his confidence or development. He’ll just end up losing any enjoyment and walking away from the sport. The exact opposite of what the scheme is designed to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exact opposite of what the scheme is designed to do. Bailey crossed my mind as soon as I saw Ryan’s name funnily enough. Hope it turns out better for him than it did Josh. Someone like Leon Flint would have been better IMO. As you say it has a whiff of the easy (cheap) option.

Sings4Speedway Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ryan will do a decent job at home but not much more than that. I would be gutted if i was Mountain right now as i rate him as a better local rider with higher scope for improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still rather have him than basher Bates, as Bates will get injured in the first month of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Lynn’s association with Mountain ending when he chose Mildenhall over the Young Stars a few years back so that might explain your query.

Didnt know that but very sad if true. A weekend National League place was highly desirable (even if it is Mildenhall) so cant really blame him. Either way i feel its a missed opposition for both.

A little fall out 5 years ago hardly seems sufficient reason to prevent Mountain riding for Lynn. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said anything about a fall out, but Lynn have decided to go with somebody who is a club asset and part of the set up for whatever reason.

Nobody knows what happened here but at the end of the day there's always conséquence for actions. If I owned King's Lynn & a rider decides somewhere else is better for progressing his career, they'd 100% be my last choice for a team place every time. King's Lynn have chosen a rider that reaaaaally wants to be there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Ward Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 There is obviously a lot of “rising stars” on the list that are not going to get a team place so if your pick turns out to be a total disaster are clubs allowed to get rid and pick someone else after say 6/8 meetings.
