TTT 1,229 Posted April 18, 2022 Wouldn't worry about today's result. Lot's of positives to take from today imo, To keep the meeting that close with our key team member being absent and our No.1 withdrawing from the meeting is some achievement against a full strength KL side.

While Nicholls & Harris have weaker aves in the Prem, they are stronger than MPT in the Champ, so can't say they were weakened! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,783 Posted April 18, 2022 Absolutely acknowledge that it would have been very different with Basso there and MPT uninjured but that win was thoroughly deserved and should have been by more really but for Iversen and then Worrall suffering gremlins in point scoring positions. Lynn were far sharper out of the gate as shown by eleven heat winners, have seen much better racing at the EoES but it got a bit better towards the end with some good tussles.

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted April 18, 2022 Such a shame for Lynn that Iversen isn’t going to hang around (as yet anyway). With him there, Lynn look a very good side. Strong top end with Iversen, Lawson and Pickering all potential double figure scorers, and a powerhouse reserve. That adds up to a very dangerous side. The fly in the ointment is obviously the Iversen/Kildermand situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrismorton 332 Posted April 18, 2022 Lynn deserved to win. panthers were missing the starts then in some races tripping over each other and making some silly desperate moves. Very poor performance and didn't see much team talking going on in the pits. On top of this track had no outside line until heat 13 and the delays were painful...as was one of the Refs decision. Also have the rules changed again? as based on last year's rules Iverson should have been excluded...either way Lynn still deserved the win as they wanted it more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lynn win was throughly deserved and they were generally quicker out of the starts. The track was prepared superslick again which suited Lynn that coupled with a bad crash for MPT, our best reserve missing the meeting and a referee whose decisions sometimes suggest she should have been retired years ago all came together to make for a perfect storm. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted April 18, 2022 Well done to King's Lynn. Poor day at the office and losing MPT after already being without Basso who won his qualifier didn't help. Pike Palin looked like a wobbler today he's very inconsistent the lad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted April 18, 2022 Will they go with a Guest or RR for MPT Thursday at Lynn, maybe Ryan Douglas but no doubt it will be either Riss or just go with RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted April 18, 2022 Bit miffed at at people saying slick track suited Lynn,,, the Panthers were pretty good at Foxhall on a very slick track,,, but then again,, they were only up against Ipswich. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Another fine example of how not to run a Speedway meeting. Two and a half hours for 15 (well 16 thanks to Babs) races is not a great advert. Well said Buster when he came on the mike. Well done also to King’s Lynn who deserved to win. Hope MPT is ok after a nasty fall.
