old bob at herne bay 828 Posted June 25, 2021 Good Article in this weeks star for KL fans .... Edwin Overland's dream team ....... KL have certainly had some world class riders over the years, and Edwin has only been allowed to pick a team of 8. None of the present group feature ..........

Sad place to end up for what was once a great night’s entertainment. When I lived in Norwich in mid seventies went to every Lynn home meeting and even an away one at Exeter when on holiday in area. Never really got to be a Lynn supporter , but even with the then poor facilities the experience was a whole lot better than it is now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All went wrong once we stopped racing on a Saturday night, every Saturday was speedway night, it all changed when we had to accommodate riders wanting to ride in Poland, and then the grand Prix's came along.

semion 2,192 Posted June 25, 2021 Saturday’s sure were a good day. Once a fortnight Up the City to watch the Canaries. Grab some food ( King Beefy was a favourite). Pick the Pink Un up then a dash over to Saddlebow. Happy Days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's obviously still decent, Dan Bewley tweeted tonight how much he enjoyed it and he's riding all over the world so should know! Those days are gone though, they are decades ago when you lot were enthusiastic youngsters! I still love it, yes want close racing but I won't give it up til I'm 6 foot under haha 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Bend Bunching 23 Posted June 25, 2021 The track was ran slicker last night up to heat 8, presumably because of the threat of rain then Buster graded and watered the track and Lynn were then the better team. Shame it was nine heats too late but there was more fight in this team than the one for Wolverhampton. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get too carried away, just like the centre green presenter after heat 15, Belle Vue took their foot off the gas towards the end of the meeting with 4 points comfortably in the bag.

King's Lynn deserved to lose but I'm not having that argument at all. If rider's where earning a salary then yes but paid per point, there's no way any rider thinks about league points during a meeting. They all look after themselves & want to earn every ££ available. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
