BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I wonder if Erik Riss will have a change of heart now that KL can guarantee him a full British season. It's easy to drop Denmark or something when he's part of a squad system that doesn't actually guarantee him any meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be good but can't see that happening,although Ellis must have dropped Denmark to ride for Sheffield so who knows. Still think we will end up with a rider that generally doesn't ride our track very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if Poland were to relax the rules on riders in other leagues you could fit the better RL in the team.

I believe he had no intention of riding in the uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Might be an ask but I'd take Ricky Wells over Proctor. Lawson may not be a good visiting rider but he's more that capable of adapting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Just a thought. Wonder what Josh Grajczonek plans are maybe he could be picked up by Kings Lynn now that Sheffield are not using him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Still maintain the most important thing for 2021 is getting back on track and fans in stadiums- team strength are important and ending the season with the wooden spoon isn’t obviously were any club wants to be but build towards March 2022 i say and start promoting the sport as well because after 20 months of no speedway some fans may have realised they haven’t missed speedway so don’t presume all fans will return. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I agree with this, the priority this year has to be to get folk through the door, both previous regulars and newbies although you wonder if that can/will happen under the current regime. As for the league position, I can stomach finishing last as long as the majority of home meetings are won, the racing is good (ie better than it has been) and the away defeats are respectable and not clatterings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, yes people just want racing, but after a few thrashings at home, just wanting some racing will soon become "I'm not watching that s#!+ anymore". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Over the years and with many sports when my team has been rubbish I have often come to the view that I hope they are thrashed so those in charge will wake up. I often saw my teams thrashed but to my knowledge those in charge never woke up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is it's well known in speedway that kings Lynn as a good track and 100% fact have got the best equipment by far to prepare the track and serve up great entertainment so why not? Surely if fans went home saying wow that final race . Just my thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
