Massive improvement required from the Lynn riders. If Lynn have any sense they’ll book Cook for Bank Holiday Monday as well. Cook is far superior to Pickering around Foxhall. Hopefully you’ll get S Lambert again.. Two good replacements here, makes this a tight one for me. Two point win either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive improvement required from the Lynn riders. Would have preferred Douglas and Worrall/Nicholls.Douglas is pretty good at Leicester.Still not bad replacements as it is. It still doesn't undo the rubbish we had to endure last night.It seems from the report from last night that they are going to put up with them for a little longer.How much longer do we give them.Two matches imo is make or break for the riders if they don't perform then they must go.Problem being if you do like for like their averages drop in May which makes it that little harder.

Problem is other options. Drop Klindt and a couple of others sure, but who is out there and within a tight budget that could come in and strengthen? Isn’t easy or straightforward. Very few who would make a difference want to race here, and those that would consider it are very expensive. It’s the age old problem isn’t it. I’m not sure how well off Lynn are as a club in terms of sponsorship? I’d guess nowhere near as much as others, my team Ipswich included. All well and good supporters wanting better riders and a strong team, we all want that, but it isn’t us that has to pay the money to get them and potentially face the financial losses that we all get told most clubs make. It’s a fine line balancing what you can afford and risk losing the punters through not being competitive, and pushing the boat out for a few expensive riders and hoping that the extra gate receipts go some way to paying for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep ,problem being that 90 % of crowd are from the uk which love to whinge and wine about anything but be grateful that we have a 2 speedway paid leagues with ample riders from all over the world, wake up or loose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoys Foxhall far more than Pickering who always looks very uncomfortable there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I hear that a Leicester team will also be involved on Thursday and won't need to be propped-up with guests. Or is it just a rumour. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it just a rumour. Leicester running with their own contracted seven riders? A ridiculous situation... There should be rules about this... The crowds these days expect to see loads of lads from neither of the clubs appearing that night... Won't end well all this, you mark my words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Potential banana skin for Leicester imo, Craig Cook should pile in a lot of points and Steve Worrall is a good choice of guest. Both No.1's are out of form so the meeting is all set to be a close one imo. Leicester to nick it with a 5 - 1 in Heat 15 imo (47 - 43) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
