Rob the biggest dead cert to be TM in years 

One of the very best I have seen in decades at Peterborough, tactically astute and excellent communication skills with riders and supporters alike.

The only problem is he will still be restricted with the restraints of the Kings Lynn ownership as he was at Peterborough.

I imagine if it’s anyone’s cunning plan, it will be Rob Lyon’s. 

Logical for him to work with riders he knows and trusts. Plus he’ll know the ones who are good for team spirit etc. 

 

Think this gets overplayed. We have that at Ipswich where Chris Louis foolishly listens to Ritchie Hawkins when it comes to team building. The team is built who the manager wants to work with and who are good for “team spirit”. We haven’t won a league title since he’s been manager. That’s not all on him though, Louis is ultimately the one in charge so it’s down to him at the end of the day. We haven’t won a league title under his promotion either. 
 

Whether riders get on or there’s a good team spirit I couldn’t give a monkeys to be honest. They all have money to earn so will try and win races for their own personal gain. Just give me the best seven riders you can get.

You lot can all think what you like. However, from what I'm hearing this is the strongest and most exciting Lynn team we have had in years

Ooooooooooooh, exciiiiiiiiiting. 

We're going to break the 30 league points barrier?? :lol:

Pretty much guaranteed we won't better Sheffield, Ipswich & Belle Vue sides

Whoever we end up with it'll be what's left once everyone else has signed who they want, a consequence of having the smallest budget unfortunately.

How'd that work out for BV this year? And FYI, from what I've heard, we don't have the smallest budget next year...

Don't forget to hold some money back so you can afford ''Play-off Lambert''' just in case you make the top four...

Having the biggest budget and first pick at riders...

Where do you get that Belle vue's team is about the biggest budget i have no idea what riders are paid. But i do know about other/last years team it is about loyalty and good long term signings. Kurtz has been with us for 3 seasons having put a point on his average since we signed him. Bewley has never ridden for any other Prem league club having started with us in the Colts team in 2016 on a 3 point average in the National league and only missing the 2022 season. Lidsey has never ridden for any other Prem league club starting with us in 2019 on a 4 point average finishing the season with a 5.15 average .Then signing again last year on a 5.15 average and finishing with an average of 7.82.Wright has been with us for the last 3 seasons and has been a very good number 4.(Sadly lost to averages next season) Brennan has been with the club for the last 3 seasons starting off as a rising star and ending this season with a 6+ average.(sadly lost him next year due to averages) Has never ridden for another Prem league club. Blodorn has been with us for the last 2 seasons starting off as a very young ass 4 point average and ending this season with a 5.83 average has never rode for another Prem league club. So from the above i see a team that is built on loyalty and wanting to ride for the club.

Other loyal riders 

Cook 7 seasons starting on a 3,88 ave in 2011

Fricke 6  seasons starting on a 4.84 ave in 2015

Zagar 5 seasons

S Worrell 6 seasons

So in my opinion far from a buy success team yes we have made some big signings but in most case's the club have signed potential and if its paid off and have stuck with them for years.

Musielak would be the No 1 the Stars need

I'd take him in a heart beat. At the least, Lynn need to win all their home meetings, to have a chance of the play offs.  But i can't  see us doing that without a  proper No.1.  If we don't hit the ground running, i can see the crowds dwindling even more. We saw it last season. Unless the Stars can attract some good sponsorship, who is going to pay decent wages to attract the decent riders. The crowds ain't big enough on there own  unfortunately.
