You are wrong there skidder. many people in Norfolk were very proud that Kings Lynn, for the first time in their history finished top of the no 1 League in British Speedway. So why say nobody ? Where did you gain that info from ? Was it a straw pool you did at Wimborne ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't change the fact that Lynn still finished top of the league with Poole winning 2 meetings to claim a title. Have a watch of the Wilder/Fury fight. The record books show's that as a draw. Look at how many Trophy's Lance Armstrong won. Why are you bringing up a convicted cheat? Totally irrelevant. Look, 2019 if you could choose Lynn to top the table and win F all, or finish fourth and take home the title and trophy, what would you prefer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted December 4, 2018 See Arch, that's prob where we differ. For you, it seems its all about winning. At Lynn we don't ever win much, but that's ok, we still enjoy our Speedway. So to end up as the best team in the league over a full season is enough for me. I don't need a win over 2 elgs to define my season of watching Speedway.

My post was merely following the theme of ForeverBlue's, because in the overall scheme of things speedway it means very little except to 'the many people of Norfolk'!!

I got that wrong. Did you get it right that nobody care ? It might be suggested you winning over 2 legs at the end of the season means very little to anyone outside of Dorset.

The full story was that Kings Lynn failed in their attempt to win the Premiership, and Poole were Premiership Champions... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it ever does I will be n a better position to answer the question It’s a pretty simple question to answer! What would you prefer, Lynn to finish 4th next season and win the title and take the trophy, or finish 1st and win nothing but a few condescending pats on the back? It’s a simple question that I’m pretty sure I know your answer to!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
