No doubt we are stronger with their replacements and in a perverse way Lynn’s hand being forced has probably resulted in topping the table. Try telling that to Holder and Batch!

This has been, the pivotable piece of the team jigsaw. Like someone else said on this forum, that has to be the best replacement in the league this year.... Totally spot on Mr Webb. With Rose, Kerr and Anderson we are unlikely to have topped the table ( meaning no disrespect to any of that trio ). Eric Riss has, as you say, been the pivot around which positive changes have been made. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madsen, Allot, even Topinka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think thats what he means. Prices. Ive not seen any but i would think you will get no better than 7/4 Lynn to win it outright now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Surely Starman you can’t be turning your back on the Pirates ? I’m sure you would be expecting Poole to take the play -off title from this position ? Ok the League title might be gone but the other one is still up for grabs Edited September 27, 2018 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having ridden at Poole a few days earlier scoring a Max, not only did he want to show Matt Ford what he was missing, but also wanted to help them out as well. Yeah, the track was rubbish that day, but all the other riders stuck to their task and rode it, so it wasn't that bad... Holder made out it was unsafe but nobody got injured. Batch, having won his first race and was team riding a 5-1 in his second, when he slid off, no doubt supporting Holder's ideas. For both of them to walk away was unforgivable and they deserved all the problems that followed.. I'm still of the impression, had we been riding against any other team then Poole, it wouldn't have happened..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 27, 2018 Kings Lynn are massive favourites with the bookies to win the title as can be seen. Can they cope with all that pressure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
