King's Lynn V Isle Of Wight Weds 17th July @ 7.30pm

[rhidassa 73]

As far as I'm aware, King's Lynn v Isle of Wight is still going ahead tomorrow at 7.30pm.

(Though this doesn't appear on King's Lynns website...!)

 

Any idea on line-ups? I'm sure confirmation of whether or not Robert Lambert is riding might get a few more people in, though after the World Cup yesterday I fear this may be a sparser than ever crowd!

[Triple B's 1]

It's a home meeting so I'm sure Robert Lambert will be there. It's the away meeting's he doesn't do.

They do say " there is no such thing as bad column inches" but on a serious note I don't think it was meant like that. I think Rhidassa was just making the point if the line ups were confirmed it may bring a few more people through the gates. How can that be disrespecting Robert?

I assume the comments were directed at Triple B's rather than me... but yes, that was the point I was making.

Still no Tom Perry and RR for Dan, it's gonna be tough

[ashtree123 73]

Yes Rhidassa the comment was for Triple B's not you. You are very correct it does seem that he pulls in the crowd

As far as I know, Robert Lambert is doing all of the home fixtures and 2 away meetings from memory... I'll be there, like I have been for most NL meetings this season. Shame that Lewis Rose is missing as he's been pretty exciting to watch. Take it he's still recovering from that tumble he had whilst riding for Somerset at Rye House a few weeks back?

rr for dan makes the islanders stronger and branford for perry looks good, as perry hasnt been great so far this year, however i expect a stars win, but with starke guesting in place of johnson islanders have the strongest team they have had all season

[stratton 1,491]

Lambert v Ellis should be worth watching.

Lambert v Ellis should be worth watching.

 

x 4 ?

It will be interesting to see which heats Ellis is in. From a manager's point of view you can put him in Widman's rides and put him against Lambert or give him the R/R rides but that partners him with Branford where you could potentially only score 5 rather than 6 points from your top 2.

 

I have to congratulate the management on the choice of guests though. If we exclude Lambert & Ellis, only Wright has been better than Branford at this level this year and even though I might have expected Brendan to have 2 of his better rides of the season at KL & Coventry his ankle cant be helped.

 

@Em: The KL site says Rose is missing with a shoulder problem but I thought the Rye crash was his hip.

Does this mean Ellis will get a new average after this meeting as this is his 4th league meeting?

Yes, and effective in 7 days time so he's still at reserve for Coventry away and KL home. Without checking he's on about 10.3 atm so depending how he goes tonight he might be at #1.

Ah righto! Wonder when he picked up this shoulder problem? He rode in the last home meeting, but maybe he's ridden for Somerset since and that's where this problem has come from?
