old bob at herne bay 828 Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) You just really do wonder whether there is a more deep seated problem at Kings Lynn. Well that's half a team and a team manager now gone from Kings Lynn 2021. By "mutual consent" seems to be the common theme. "Going in a different direction" I still cannot undestand the Craig Cook fiasco - once he left KL he hasn't looked back, and yes he cann ride the Kings Lynn track (as he proved last night) Maybe the trouble starts at the top ?????????????????

But you might be right. I pitty whoever it is to be honest. What can they do, other than try and get Wells and Heeps going, or replace them. The Lynn team was shocking at the start of the season. Someone had to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted July 6, 2021 Just watched the meeting on the box. Heeps was so slow I thought he was a Deliveroo driver. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i think he was riding a 250... He was better 4 days before against the Panthers. I predicted Heeps would be sh@t against his old Witches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was under the impression that once a Visa had been gained for the year it couldn't be changed until the next twelve month period? Could well be wrong though. Has also been my assumption that he isn't interested in riding in the Prem as surely somebody would have signed him by now? He's been here a few seasons and must have been approached.

Sam Jensen is also having a good season in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know the visa rules but some of the higher ups at Edinburgh are expressing surprise he hasn't been signed and they know way more than me. Josh is desperate to get a PL spot. His gating was poor at first which might have put some off. But it has really improved now. But his passing is fantastic. He'll never be content to pootle round at the back like some were last night. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I have heard repeatedly on Edinburgh Live Stream Commentary they keep questioning why no Premiership Club has picked up Picko already. Have never heard either of the commentators mention any stumbling blocks such as wrong type of Visa and both seem to know Josh very well. Lynn is the type of track which would suit young Josh down to the ground with plenty of grip and wide open spaces to wind it on. Pickering is certainly one of the most entertaining riders I can recall seeing in recent years. Every race 100% effort and a never give up attitude and he can score plenty points too ( mostly from the back ). Try to chose a race of the season and you will find that Josh has been in most of them. Getting better all the time too - it would be a great shame if was a Visa issue that was keeping him back. Looks as if KL may well have to go back to the drawing board anyway to turn round their season and this kind of move may prove to be the catalyst. Check out some of his races and make up your own mind ! Edited July 6, 2021 by SlicktrackSandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really have to watch the action peering through little square holes? The fence doesn't spoil viewing in any way, also makes it much safer for spectators Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted July 6, 2021 I beg to differ , if you are at track level the fence obscures the view. As I have said many times the undoubted cosmetic upgrade of the Stadium has done little or nothing for spectators 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickyb 82 Posted July 6, 2021 I beg to differ too, making it safe is doing a whole lot for the spectators. It is not just cosmetic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
