...he might more of an EastEnders viewer :o;)

Although being serious for a minute, a lot more clubs will have a similar future to Coventry and Eastbourne imo unfortunately :(

No love lost between Wolves and Coventry fans Lisa,in fact I'd rather see the Spoons back before the Bees .

Crazy thing is I've been going up the wolves 25 years , far longer than I went to Dudley Wood

That's similar to us Wolves 'baby boomers' who miss Friday home meetings..... but will have now attended more Monday nighters!

There is a reason for that 

With Becker needing to step up to a genuine heat leader, giving more support to Masters is a big reason .If he doesn't do it this season he never will. On his good days he can beat virtually anyone,but on his bad days.... .

Both Nic and Josh will do well this season, Nic’s average last year was 8.32 and as long as he is around that figure again I will be happy as for Josh on a 6.98 well I’m expecting he will put at least a point on that. My only worry is that we are relying on strength in depth and if we do pick up injuries getting good riders on 6 and 7 averages will be pretty difficult. I think only TJ is injury prone in the team this year so fingers crossed for a good year, god Lynn supporters deserve one. 
As you say szkocjasid predicted that we would finish second so that makes him a top man in my book

 

Klindt starts the season on 7.39 and Picko 6.14.  Deffo Josh can put at least a point on that. There's a few riders that will be battling for the No1 race jacket, which could lead to some healthy competition and hopefully some average increases :t:

I agree Lynn have the potential for two or three to up their averages significantly. The only problem I see here is Lynn could have done with last seasons rules on no changes being allowed once the league campaign gets underway. Lynn will be hamstrung for strengthening once a couple increase their averages, whilst there is a few clubs who could see their team average tumble and have scope to swap out a middle order rider for another heatleader, or a weak reserve for a middle order man. I’ve always been of the opinion that if you got your team building wrong to start with tough, you’ve had all winter to get it right. Changes should only be allowed to swap out injured riders.

Very smart of Kings Lynn to choose so many 6 point riders - makes it easier for their fans to add up the team total using their fingers ;):P

You always get bloody one, don't you.....

I was having a quiet pint and went a read this.. Spoiled my night now:(

 

 

 

 

Gareth George on Twitter: "Watching Get Carter for the umpteenth time. The  guy with 6 fingers in the bar at the start sets the tone for the 1970's  North being very different

I think we’ll be one of those that can strengthen early doors. Rew for example is now an assessed 5 instead of 4 which the club initially thought, you could expect him to start slowly and drop at least a point off that while he settles especially if he’s stuck at number 2. Doyle’s average is also hefty, that could drop early, and so could Emil and Riss who for different reasons may take time to get up to speed. That chance could disappear quite quickly though because all those averages bar maybe Doyle, I’d expect to only go one way once the season progresses and riders visit tracks for the second time, and fitness improves for those still carrying injury. Will be interesting to see whether a change is made when the opportunity comes.

It'll be interesting to see how many meetings the likes of Nicki Pedersen and Kasprazak have to do to get a new average 

It has been 4 home 4 away but I'm sure I read it was going to be 3 h 3a
