Lynn still very much in contention for the wooden spoon

Suppose this result goes some way to prove that getting dialled in on the day of the match means nothing for the home team. The problem with that is that there’s an away team in the equation. And the fact that they are probably better has an effect on the score of the meeting in the end. Donald God Trump knows how to win away from home .. allegedly

Don’t worry they’ll be saying it again after we’ve been battered at Belle Vue next Monday 😁

Error now corrected.

Sonny Springer is returning to speedway. I think its too early for Jamie, and likewise Sonny, but I feel Sonny will grow as the season progresses whereas I cannot see Jamie doing that.

You make fair points... I'm split on whether it's a bit quick or not... was impressed by his effort even when his own riders didn't help him by getting in his way or not looking for him in the first 2 bends.

I'm not saying it's definitely wrong for Cooper to step up so soon, or that it definitely won't work out, just that it could prove disadvantageous if it hurts his confidence in such a tough position. He could have a long career in front of him, so thought "why take the risk"? Obviously didn't do Robert Lambert any harm, but most riders take smaller steps.

Well it seems the whole afternoon just wasn't long enough to do the trick Uppa Witches

I thought Cooper rode well tonight, unlucky nor to score more. He might be only 16 but he is a trier, needs to work on his gating but he will be OK.

I do feel like Lynn were thought of as a strong team by the majority & Ipswich as potentially wooden spoonists, hasn't taken people long to change their mind lol! I always thought Lynn had too long a tail & suggested Gusts instead of 2 x rising stars (pretty much got laughed at for that).

Agree but the kids advisors or the kid him self could have said no, the same as agreeing to ride in Poland and I think one of the Scandinavian countries, imo he is doing to much too soon, and the same with cairns

I agree with your first point, I don't see the rush for him to be a top 6 Prem rider in his first season as a 16 year old. Not sure if have recommended him as the RS either, felt there was no harm, starting in the Champ only & if he's scoring well, then look to step up. But I wouldn't say he's been "thrown to the Wolves" he could simply have said no thank you to the offer of a top 6 team place.

I presume they accepted the opportunities...?

What was the racing like? was the crowd good?

One of the things that has possibly held Tom back a bit (in the nicest possible way) was having Emil and Jason there! Saying that he will have learned a lot so his chance to be a no 1 is here! Wishing him the best of luck as I really think he’s a great rider in the making! He pops out and wins heat one against Fricke which is very impressive! great result for the witches - concerns for the Stars as ever early in the season!

You need to hope Cooper doesn’t have à lack of confidence from riding for Kings Lynn been absolutely thrown in at the deep end which is so wrong for a young kid

😂

Awful team building by the Stars to throw 2 youngsters in at 6 and 7 potentially zapping their confidence

Hurry has done well so far with his heat 15 picks

Council have no intention to grant planning for houses. Local MP saying all the right things Who knows what the actual agreement is but seems as though this season is secure at least

Agreed, imagine if you'd have said 30 years ago that at 48 this young whippersnapper will still be gunning down the Stars in the next century you'd have been carted away by men in white coats!

Looks like Tom is starting to show his potential ,he was putting himself about in Poland at the week-end too.Hope he can stay injury free it’s along season.

Won't matter will still have had a good afternoon on the quayside, but shame the spoons has been taken over 🍺😎

My prediction was awful 🤣 On another night could've been a different result, some seem to be pressing panic buttons/writing off Lynn's season already after two meetings! They will have better results.

Pleased to see Scotty contributing. Nobody is expecting double figures from him, but if he can contribute 5/6/7 in the middle order then job done. Think there’s more to come from this team. PHB will surely settle and improve as the meetings go on and once he does, we look very solid if unspectacular.
