pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted April 18, 2018 Big night for King's Lynn tonight, IMO its more important for the evening to run smoothly than the result! Entertaining races, on a well prepared track, with 2 full teams of riders, and races run promptly will get crowds coming back even if Stars lose... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunce 347 Posted April 18, 2018 14 hours ago, mrss said: Good forecast for tomorrow. Will the meeting start be delayed to let the fans in? It better not be! I expect we will get a sun delay anyway. We had this discussion before. They should start on time, otherwise the whole thing becomes a farce again. If I can get there on time from Norwich, then others should also turn up on time. I appreciate that some people work late and such like, but to be brutal that's not my problem. Image if football started late because Joe Bloggs was working overtime, or trains waited at platforms for late arrivals, or planes sat on runways.......etc....etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being the first meeting of the season and therefore a bit more focus on it than a normal meeting, then I suspect it will be run a bit quicker than normal but as weeks pass by, it will slow down again. After all, just think of all those minutes of food and drink income poor old Chapman will lose if they actually get on with a meeting each week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted April 18, 2018 Going for a KL victory. Tungate was poor again on Monday and if the same happens tonight then I don't see how BV can win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same way as on Monday, by Max, Cookie, and DB picking up the slack. Away from home that is a much bigger ask though so, as usual in speedway, home win is the only prediction that makes sense. Fingers crossed we can pick something up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted April 18, 2018 Cant imagine BV going home empty handed. Its bound to be a close match with the outcome decided by the results of heats 13 and 15... Either way i shall be happy, regardless of the score.... It seems like an eternity since we last went to a Speedway meeting.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Hope that he will now dispense with 50p surcharge on debit cards. He carried on with this even after it was in the process of being made illegal as the law was not yet in place. Edited April 19, 2018 by wealdstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted April 18, 2018 Hope the Stars have had a practice, if not the Aces might have the edge, being sharper out of the starts. Close one i reckon. Can't go as Grandson has a footy match starting at 6.15pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted April 18, 2018 I think this one could go either way. I'm not sure how Lasse Bjerre usually goes at KL but I can't see him doing as well as Worrall. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Lambert could do better than Etheridge so we might gain an advantage there. I just hope it's a close meeting with no delays and some good racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattfordfan 286 Posted April 18, 2018 Think KL need to get off to a positive start this season after the shambolic 2017 season. Tough meeting but Kerr at reserve is the match winner imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read what Bald Bloke said,he hoped the Stars have had a practice.Nothing to do with the hot laps to which i am sure you are referring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both home meetings at Workington this season have been far better as regards getting the meeting over with as little delay as possible, long may it continue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
