See the ( Lynn news ) has made a blunder saying that new king's Lynn rider ( Steve worrall lol ) says Alex Brady is a breath of fresh air & compares him to mark lemon.. that's on speedway news 24/7 

What a cock-up.    Who is this Pete Woodhouse?

It's not just a simple typo using the wrong name.   He clearly thinks King's Lynn have signed Steve Worrall....  It even makes mention of this new signing being the twin brother of Richie Worrall who has ridden for King's Lynn in the past.

Has he announced Terry Betts as the 'rising star'? :D

I don't understand the negativity from many regarding the King's Lynn team. Both Lawson & Pickering have shown they can score well in the Prem. Although in Pickering's case he'll have to do it from a harder position after racing at no 4 last year. Kildemand got his 7.1 ave in a far weaker league, so should be looking at 7.5 minimum.

Jorgensen, Kerr & Worrall have all shown they can get a 5.5/6.0 ave as second strings, so whoever is at reserve should be the best reserve in the league in my opinion.

While Thomas may not be the strongest RS in the league, he's not far behind & had his best season yet in 2021, so is clearly on the rise.

I'm looking forward to it  myself. Josh will make us pretty strong in heats 13 and 15. More so at home, and thats where you need to win all your meetings if you can. Killer is a slight doubt for me, but not going to judge him before he starts. Hoping for a top 4:t:

That's some call on a rider that's never been a regular heat 13 - 15 rider?? 

Up against Fricke, Doyle, Cook, Holder, Ellis, you fancy Pickering to take points away from them?? 

Some ask even at home

Around the AFA, yes i think he can beat some of them. He seems to love the place going on Sheffield's visits in 2021......

Holder 1 2 3 3 =9

Ellis 2 3 f =5

Josh 2 3 3 2 2 = 12.  chosen for HT 15 and finished 2nd to Lawson. 

...................

Holder 3 3 3 3 0 = 12

Ellis 3 3 2 f = 8

Josh 3 3  2  2 3 =13  Won HT 15... Holder was last.

I know its only 2 meetings.  Put it with Lawsons HT 15 finishes  at home of  2+1,  0,    3,  2,  1+1,  3,   3,  2.  I think the Stars well do ok at the AFA myself in those heats.

Guess my glass is half full, and yours ??:blink:

I know the whole number 8 thing is a bit of a sham/PR stunt but Kings Lynn have signed Jake Mulford who has no team place in any other league and might be reliant on the Prem Jnr League (if it happens) for competitive laps and even then he might be deemed too strong for that.

Signed i assume as he is a local lad,and works locally for Olly Allen.So works well for all i would think.Obviously would be nice if he could get fixed up in the Championship with only Birmingham requiring riders though that is looking slim.Poole need one rider but they must have a few pts for the last rider so won't be looking at Jake.

makes sense that he is the number 8 but surprised that Kings Lynn haven't been able to place him somewhere in either NL or CL for extra laps.

It's an odd one, you'd think he is exactly the type of rider that the NL is for. I don't follow that league too closely bit did t he ride for Kent last year? Why is he not back there, did he end up with an awkward average?

He ended on 7.78 which is high enough but he was riding around heat leader level so i did expect him to be fixed up somewhere.  I think his commitment to grasstrack probably made him unpopular with weekend tracks and left few options.  Still thought he was a better bet than Hopwood at Oxford for example but maybe a deal suiting both sides couldn't be done.

Never disputed he's a good, improving rider. I'm just not sure he's capable of being a No1. 

I don't believe we have the strength at No1 & No5 some believe we have.
