    Apart from his debut IIRC.....paid thirteen I believe then crap/injured thereafter.

    It doesn't really make too much difference how he prepares it, the dirt used at Lynn just isn't suitable for bikes. Remember Woffinden not being able to pass Manzares the other year? Nothing will change while stock cars are so lucrative.

    Rye House 2017

    Not earth shattering but I think this makes Rye slightly stronger and ensures there will always be an experienced reserve. Harsh on Perks but Kennett can have few complaints really.

    I think it's quite obvious which team will finish in which position and I feel it won't be close between any side. So hopefully the racing is decent!

    Swindon Robins Vs Wolves (29-6-17)

    To be honest I'd be pointing fingers at Masters rather than King.

    'Masters unhappy crossing finishing line' Meanwhile the grass on the centre green is, er, green

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    I'm sure we hear this every year, wouldn't be surprised if he moves on one day or drops Britain but speculation always seems to be incorrect.

    Poole V Belle Vue Bt Sports 26/6/17

    I think it's no coincidence that Cook has flourished by riding the NSS track on Friday nights rather than Armadale, it's been the making of him and has improved his scores on foreign soil no end. Whether he gets into the GP's or not you would like to think that Poland and Sweden will both offer him regular racing so he can improve a bit more, which he won't do in our Championship. A good display(s) at Lezno in the SWC will help to that end too.

    The rule book stuff goes without saying, but the real culprits are those who let them get away with it.

    Poole 2017

    It's difficult to fathom why the Poole track has had these problems for so long now when every other aspect of what the club does seems to be so professional.

    Bomber scored a straight fifteen max in his one Lynn appearance this year. That includes several passes, overtaking is difficult nowadays but not impossible. King has always been pretty good at Lynn whereas it's been a while since Scott looked really good there. He is very much a small track man nowadays.
  12. Indeed, one wouldn't be surprised if it was true but people on here tend to follow any old piece of information like sheep and are only too eager to share their outrage whether it's confirmed or not. Anyway good to see a team place given to a youngster rather than be clogged up by a has been.
  13. You are all assuming that what Hall says is the truth of course.

    Got to be King, next best option by some distance.

    Precisely. You put those thirteen riders on a track like Belle Vue, Somerset, P'boro or Scunny and you instantly have a massively better meeting.
  16. You'd have thought this is something the BSPA would have sorted out long before now.
  17. I accept that but one or two people are nowhere to be seen on here when things are going well. Balanced opinions are the most respected ones in my experience.

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    The most likely scenario was that he was told to have Monday off, especially if there was a chance of him riding tonight where there are league points on offer.
  19. I think the weather tomorrow will render that moot.

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    Lol, if only life was that black and white. I can't believe you are being that naive.
  21. What is his issue with Lynn more like. Only ever whinges nowadays.
  22. Bagpuss

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    Yup, if he had fallen the night before and broken his wrist and had the SWC coming that weekend. Would say the same for any rider.
  23. Possibly if last night's tie was all to play for and it wasn't a demanding track like Wolves. But nearing those things in mind it was no surprise he missed the meeting. Having taken four rides in Sweden tonight I'll be a bit miffed if he doesn't ride tomorrow though.
  24. Bagpuss

    King's Lynn Stars 2017

    Exactly and Wolves is a tight track, much harder on the wrists than Kumla. Or Belle Vue or Lynn for that matter.
  25. If you say his wrist isn't broken then I reckon we should all believe you rather than whichever medical professional diagnosed the fracture. You're no Lynn fan if you are calling for an injured Stars rider to get a ban.
