Ben91 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Solid enough side for the Panthers in 2024 by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say no more Expand Then that’s just unlucky unfortunately and even more frustrating! Stick either of the two mentioned in that line up and it would have looked tasty. Fine margins. Still has potential though. If Wotsit does similar to what Tenko did this year then it could be in the mix. Gonna be even more impossible to predict the play of four this time. Luck will play a huge part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) Out of interest, is it Buster who is still financing Kings Lynn speedway or is there somebody else involved now funds wise? ps. I think this is a great looking side, especially at home. Edited November 29, 2023 by Najjer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Buster was paying for 6 of the team last season i guess . I just hope the fans turn up in numbers.

You can still have average improvers in your team, but the fact is if you’d been a little more ambitious and pushed the boat that little further, you could have had Harris or Richard Lawson instead of MPT. You can’t tell me neither of those two wouldn’t have made this team even stronger by using the available points. Yes I know they’ve agreed deals elsewhere and they may not have even been an option, but on the other hand they may have been if you’d been quicker off the mark. The team looks ok and has potential, but it could and probably should, have been better. If I were a Lynn fan this would have left me frustrated. Slight missed opportunity for me. Expand You're falling in to the 'bad management' trap. Lawson & Harris are decent but on their current averages what do they add?? They have little to no improvement on their averages which will = losing meetings. I'm sticking my neck out & saying King's Lynn will make top 4 with this septet. If not, 100% the fans will be entertained with Musielak, Tarasenko, Basso & Wojdylo. Having Rowe at No7 will be huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 One of those British riders in particular would have meant a very, very good looking side but it is what it is. They seem to have tried very hard to use all the points but sometimes it doesn't work out. I'm happy they've had a clear out and have signed some proper racers. Just need to get the track right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I’m not falling in to any trap, Daniel, it’s just common sense. There isn’t a single Kings Lynn supporter including you if you’re honest, that would pick MPT over either Harris or Lawson. You just wouldn’t. You’re relying on MPT to put a point and a half on his average to match the two mentioned, and that’s if they both stand still average wise! Its irrelevant anyway as it seems both were targeted but decided to move elsewhere so the choice wasn’t there.
