If so, I'm glad Poole aren't in this league purely down to the reason they can't add any more holes into our track. Have you been on the sauce ? PL= Premiership CL= Championship. Last time i looked Poole were in the CL. Have i missed something ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted February 5, 2021 I don’t think ‘excited’ is the right word but I’m more intrigued about this signing than any other Lynn are likely to make as it could go one of two ways, the rest of the top six are riders who have been here and who we know all about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted February 5, 2021 I would like to think that Bridger has many less issues than Lee did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted February 5, 2021 Nothing gained, nothing lost with this signing IMO. Low 4s, will probably have the beating of all `Young Brits' and a few other reserves which means will maintain his average at worse. Could you do better on a 4.00 average, possibly, but could they average 6.00 like Lewis has the potential to if it all clicks, probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forget who he bought it from but according to his mechanic it was a “ beastie” . When he was at Lakeside he had a manager that I got to know quite well and who was a moderating influence on him, but the old Lewis eventually came to the surface. I like Lewis, and always have done. Would like him to do well, but I kind of feel the way he rode at Lakeside was the upper limit of what he can realistically achieve, and coming back is not easy so he might not do so well. It depends what’s expected of him. In what is now a weak league he might do a decent job in a second string role but I wouldn’t expect too much. I hope I am wrong.

Daniel Smith 5,661 Posted February 5, 2021 Good luck to Lewis Bridger & King's Lynn. A gamble from both side's but neither have anything to lose by it. Absolutely certain it'll be successful too as AFA is a gaters paradise & it's one thing Bridger was always good at. If it's Bridger at No6 & Cook at No1, Kerr in the middle, that'll show good strength in depth throughout the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The GM you are referring to was Jonas Kylmnarkopi engine. I understand he is back on Hagon bikes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
