semion 2,192 Posted May 18, 2021 The Manager might be pleased but I bet the man that pays his wages isn’t. A home defeat always costs bums on seats for the next meeting. How can anyone be pleased in getting beat at home by the team you will be fighting with to avoid the wooden spoon.? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't agree more Semion.There was a good crowd last night and winning means a lot.It goes with any sport,you lose at home,you lose fans at the next home meeting.Buster will be pleased with last nights takings though,no wonder there was just 50 tickets left all day yesterday,i bought 52 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can never be content with a home defeat and Lynn fans will never in a million years will be content with losing at home to Ipswich. Manager has not connected with the fans on this one.

The Cheese 2,022 Posted May 18, 2021 No surprise to see Rowe start well, I've said it before but it's impressive how every time he steps up a level he makes it look easy. Not by hitting big eye-catching scores every week but just quietly going about his business even when on paper you might say it's possibly too early for him. His NL average wasn't great when he signed for Somerset in the Championship but he did well enough to move up to number 2 within a few months. Pretty much everyone expected him to struggle there but a couple of meetings in he was beating Craig Cook in Heat 1 and finished that season with an excellent debut for GB in the test match against Denmark. Seemed to make a steady start to his Polish career last year too. For some reason he doesn't get talked about as often as others in his age group but maybe going under the radar slightly without the hype is a good thing. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted May 18, 2021 Very concerned about the alleged contravention covid 19 crowd limits at KingsLynn. Were tickets available for purchase at the gate? Were track and trace details taken? What is the crowd limit at Kings Lynn ? How is the attendance verified ? Sounds like a lack of marshalling to maintain social distancing. None of which encourages me to attend ANY speedway meeting just yet. ☹️ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there and if that is the case no problems with braking covid rules as although a good crowd it definitely was not more than half full. some just want to slag off promoters 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tickets weren't available at the gate afaik,there were signs saying so.Track and trace were on the QR code weren't they. Thought capacity at Lynn was over 8000,so well within the Government guidelines. Plenty of marshalls there telling people to pull their masks up and distance.Although some chose delaying tactics.It was hard to distance with some obviously not seeing people for 20 months.All in all on that one well done Lynn.Shame about the team performance. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted May 18, 2021 Good on you Bob at Herne Bay. Seems you wanting to go to see Speedway, but concerned about safeguards of your own health. Nothing wrong with that. You asking questions because comments had been made by some in attendance that made you concerned, now your going to get slagged off. That’s a pity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted May 18, 2021 KL Management did their best as far as I could tell to comply with rules imposed by local council. Regrettably in the grandstand where it was quite clear the first row was not in use, a few decided to ignore this and remove the ropes and barriers. Despite what individual views on social distancing may be, I do not thing that sort of behaviour is acceptable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 18, 2021 Awful result, I hate losing to the Witches at any time, but we can't complain about the good racing! After all the rain it rode well. I think Bridger will get sorted and be strong for us. I sincerely hope Ty does. Ryan has some great support so needs to watch, ask questions and learn everything he can from the senior boys .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where is he getting slagged off.All i did was answer all his concerns as i see it last night.You get more problems going into a supermarket or petrol station with people not wearing masks or social distancing than you did last night,and most of the stadium is in the open air where it's meant to be better according to the Government. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standing in the open air and socialising with mates you not seen for over a year has to be more beneficial than sitting at home I would have thought but then everyone is entitled to their opinions. certainly Covid has divided the country as much as Brexit lol. All in all a good meeting considering and made even better with an Ipswich win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m currently on holiday at a British leisure park (quite an upmarket one) They have gone above and beyond with all the guidelines and protocols but last night there were loads of people breaking the rules despite the staff politely asking them not to. Sadly 100%of those doing so we’re of pension age. I really feel for younger people who have been locked down to protect them and then have to watch the oldies flout the guidelines.
