mrss 691 Posted July 26, 2018 Good meeting last night. R Lambert was brilliant, S Lambert rode well ,shame about Garrity being injured again. Heard he will be out for 4 weeks. One point of concern was the big lump of brick which came off the track on the first bend as riders went past . If it had hit someone it could of been nasty.

Very pleasing to read and long may it continue, so the AFA can deliver entertainment, what was the difference to the usual meetings?? 1 hour ago, deltafox said: Great result at Lynn and not the dust bowl like swindon on Monday it was choking ![third bend was awful]Funny how the usual knockers have nothing positive from KL current good form Even JChapman has zero to chip in !! Keep it up for Mondays clash with Zomerzet in front of the cameras lads Great stuff You're a little angry ain't you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunce 347 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) One point of concern was the big lump of brick which came off the track on the first bend as riders went past . If it had hit someone it could of been nasty. Could have been very nasty. Several years ago I got hit by a lump of shale in the very same spot on the first bend, fortunately I had just looked down at my programme and it hit me a glancing blow on the bridge of my nose, missing my eye by a couple of centimetres. It drew blood but could have been a lot worse. I usually raise my programme to deflect any possible missiles, but a moments inattention cost me. Who remembers those clear plastic programme boards from years ago, maybe I should make myself one! Edited July 26, 2018 by Bunce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Looks a straight shoot out between Rebels and Stars who will finish top. I wonder who Buster and Dale will pick for the semi ?. Id fancy Poole think our top 5 would blow there's away over 2 legs. Edited July 26, 2018 by semion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't go getting too cocky, you got to remember all the double agents that Poole have planted around the other teams in the league, ready to sabotage any other teams chances of becoming champions Of all the teams this year I would like a KL and Belle Vue final, with Lambert, Cooke, Bewley and Garrity on show !

Danny Connor 351 Posted July 26, 2018 Was a good meeting and good result too. Swindon put up a good show and weren't too far from getting a point! Why was morris not in heat 15? i fancy you may have got a 3-3 Shame Garrity is hurting! I hope he gets a chance to show what he can do at lynn! its the first post meeting conference i have managed to make this season and i was very impressed! All fit riders there ! good communications! Newman will guest our next 2 meetings. so thats nice and early team news . . . . The moaners must be twiddling their thumbs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted July 26, 2018 Did I hear you say Lynn have announced the guest for the next 2 meetings already... All fit riders attend conference....No dust bowl... Credit where credits due. Shows after the call off gesture as well that they are thinking of their fans more now. Good show 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham78 215 Posted July 26, 2018 Considering a number of the Robins riders are carrying injuries and Zac was just returning from one the team did pretty well. I think with a fully fit team the Budgies could have won it. Lambert aside (who's different class at the moment) KL are nothing special. Other than Jack Smith I'm with Rosco in not making any changes. It's good to have some continuity in the side and you can actually identify with a set of riders. If we don't make the play offs so what? Things aren't going as well as last season but let's see if these lads can turn it around. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoyed the meeting, some good racing especially Robert Lambert in heat 7. No dust either. First time I've been to KL for about 25yrs.

nicojbutts 8 Posted July 26, 2018 A very good win for Lynn considering Toft & Jorgensen off form and Garrity withdrew. Should of been a bigger win but Swindon were strengthened when Smith withdrew. I knew Rossiter would say that they were unlucky, in fact they were lucky they weren't hammered by more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicojbutts 8 Posted July 26, 2018 By the way credit to Simon Lambert last night who was much improved and created a valuable 5-1 on heat 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
