Lynn could actually just replace KK with Zagar at present,no need to swap Jorgensen yet as I wouldn't think Worrall is available yet anyway.So I would definitely do this straight away. Zagar showed he was up for the job last year.

Away from the NSS Zagar only averaged 5.68 (6.53) last year, while that's an improvement on KK's current form, it's not an ideal away average for a heat leader.

It's not a risk signing Bridger. It's not a risk signing Kasprzak. What it is is plain stupidity showing they have no 'up to date' Speedway knowledge. Probably add Kildemand to the stupidity list too. 

A risk is an up & coming 16-19yo nobody has heard or seen before.

I'm amazed King's Lynn haven't called Topinka yet. 

I'm not sure money is much of an issue. What seems to be happening, at least for a decade now, is that there's a selection of 'personally known friends' rider's & they just work with those. 

There just is no 'thinking outside the box' going on within the King's Lynn management whatsoever. 

Can’t disagree with any of that - Lynn had a great opportunity this season to build a great side with Jackobsen starting average being low any team would have signed him in a flash - but the club has seemingly wasted that golden opportunity.

Jorgensen and kk should be gone 

Jorgensen pally pally with Alitt that’s why he’s in the side- I agree though with what your saying - question is who realistically who  can be boroughs into the side ?

Zagar isn't the answer for me. Not sure who is but he definitely isn't.

I agree - be better to spend the quoted 3k a meeting and keen young talent Zagar is neither .

Probably some truth in that but also and perhaps more importantly he scores well at home and is one of the few who are exciting to watch, rides his balls off when behind and can actually pass people at Lynn. And in fairness to him he increased his away average last year.

All that said I don't necessarily think he would be in a successful King's Lynn side nowadays. He would have been in 2018 but for injuries but nowadays he's a 'safe' signing.

Unless they can come up with very lucrative sponsorship package we’ve got more chance signing Simon Lambert than Robert - why would Robert want to race over here ? He doesn’t need all the aggravation all the extra flights more equipment - if Lynn was to get him to return someone with very deep pockets needs to come forward to finance it . 

In a nutshell, that's the problem with getting anyone in from overseas, not just Lambert. Convincing a rider who is riding in the top 2 leagues in Poland to come over here isn't easy

Could Craig cook be back? Perhaps not totally the solution but a third of the way there. Him or Richie Worrall to replace Jorgensen. Tungate to replace Klindt. Zager or Kildemand instead of Kasperzak.

Allit may do a bit of moving around with the 2 clubs. I'd actually take kK to replace Worrall

Keep Klindt as he's the type of rider you need for the way the team is built.

I'll happily take a chance on KK for R. Worrall in a straight swap even though it's highly likely to go wrong but at least KK can ride the Peterborough circuit where's Worrall is more suited to KL.

Would you honestly like to take the risk?

I honestly think KK will not fit in anywhere and contribute many points.

Why would you replace Klindt and why on earth with Tungate? Neither Zagar, Kildemand or Cook are the answer either.

Klindt  was with Lynn before and ended up departing. He is inconsistent. yes he shone with Poole but that was in the second tier the championship league. Unfortunately as you are aware there is not much choice out there and if not careful Peterborough will end up taking there pick and we will be left in dire straights. Kildemand is a must, such a stylish rider to watch and a rider who can pass when he don’t gate. Bring Richie Worrall back to replace Jorgensen who I’ve never rated due to his inconsistency. Tungate would fit in as a number 2 or 4 and probably push for the third heat leader spot. As for Zager he is used to riding on GB Tracks.Craig Cook is a rider who can give you a bag full of points however at times he suffers with low motivation issues.I can remember going to a pre season supporters meeting and Buster saying he has queues of riders wanting to come to Kings Lynn. Where are they now?
