Robin went on to explain that the Club are in the process of reactivating the scheme for 2018, so hopefully that will work well this year. Looking up then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively it might not be sensible to take one photo as definitive proof of who was there and who wasn't......... As for the press releases, I understood it as being a piece of news every Friday rather than a huge announcement but could be wrong. Pleased to hear that Bunce got a swift reply and that the service is being resurrected. There were a couple more photos from the session and there were 100% more than 3 riders in attendance at the time so it was good for team bonding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Were all 7 there Tress ? If so that's a big plus. Seems like the Staff at Tesco in Stalham have found a different way of keeping fit. Edited February 16, 2018 by semion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This winter from the club they've added nothing that I should get excited about. I feel the team is poor, training announcements irrelevant, link up with UEA that'll have no bearing on the sport as a whole and my experience. For all that an extra £1 for the pleasure. So far the winter break has been as poor as the 2017 season itself Incredible . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't make it up, riders even missing fitness sessions due to 'fixture' clashes!! Did Kings Lynn have rider replacement in operation?

How do you think the season will go JC ? does the promotion need to win back the respect of the supporters again i believe so.The dangerous thing for me is there are a few real die hard supporters on here who the club are not that far off losing forever a dangerous situation .I have to say i am not that convinced with the team assembled so far but fingers crossed they are competitive Kings Lynn are a great club and i hope they can mix it this year.For me the important thing is to get the racing back to a good standard god thirty years ago King's Lynn was certainly in the top five racetracks in the U.K now it seems a different track it seems like it is to quick there now but they can get the track back at its best it is a great racetrack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me having supported the club from the early 70s and I walked away from the club after the towel was thrown in mid season last year - my biggest disappointment of the winter is the total failure of the club to admit it got things very wrong last season - all has been swept under the carpet - yes time to move on time to be positive not negative - glass full rather than glass empty all those sound bites of the winter - but as we approach the season the club still has work to do to get me to attend. But I’m hopeful the promotion will up there game as the first meeting gets closer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) For me yes the club is a mess off the track, but hopefully things are being put in place to change that. However it’s what happens on the track that is going to attract the punters. Put out a winning team and entertain then the people will come. Don’t ? Well we all the answer to that one Haze couple wins and you will be back as you will feel you are missing sumink. Couple of defeats however and you can stay at home with ya knitting Edited February 18, 2018 by semion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
