The Coventry riders might have had something to do with it (not to mention the Poole ones!). 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted January 23, 2018 Of course they didn't. Poole only lost because of Jim Lynch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted January 23, 2018 Poole lost because we lost Bjarne, who was an out and out number one, to a nasty injury around heat 7. Lynch failed to do his job of covering for Bjarne correctly, leaving us vunerable in heats 13 and 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

markyb 323 Posted January 23, 2018 The problem with Jim Lynch was that he stooped so low to be associated with a rubbishe hole called Leicester Speedway. He is a guy imo who has intregrity and professionalism -something that Leicester has never had and never will have. Mr Lynch, to those have have a proper knowledge and understanding of the “sport” , yes in quote marks, will I am no doubt, agree what a perfect ambassador you have been to BRITISH speedway - all the best to you fella.
