Lefty 1,268 Posted November 6, 2022 Was the proggy a King's Lynn one with the right date on or a Leicester one with loads of date changes and inserts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Steve might be fed up with the travelling after two seasons. I would hope we definitely having Lawson and both Cook's. Also, one of Steve or Danny, but I don't mind which one stays!

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 7, 2022 Tough decisions to be made but let’s savour the moment. We went through the whole season without a single change to the lineup and our heat leaders were pretty much rock solid. Our second strings were exactly that with up and down meetings (mostly up) and our reserves battled. People have been on Drew’s case as he seems to take every race defeat as a personal insult but he has increased his average by a fair amount. A shame he couldn’t keep his early season form going. Don’t think riding in the premier league helps him to be honest at this stage of his career. He needs to be concentrating on getting consistent in the Championship and build his confidence.

Yes agree, I am one who has been on his case . I thought his attitude at Kings Lynn was terrible, we had just won the title and he was nowhere to be seen, i know he felt he could have won heat 14 but these things happen you don't go into a big sulk, Middlo had to beckon him over several times to pick up his medal then other riders had to encourage to try to enjoy the moment, I didn't notice it much at the time apart from he seemed to be always at the back not wanting to be part of it but watched it back on BSN and it is more obvious I can't imagine the other riders or management appreciated it. Lawson for example had never won a title before, he was superb on the night and he ended up trying to get Drew to enjoy it. I spoke to Kyle Newman at Poole in the first leg and personally would love to have him back in the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know how it is though Wonderful theory, I was there on the day of the photo, the tyre packing marks are my handy work , when a photo is taken on a phone it is date and time stamped, so I think you are very wrong! Just checked Oct 31st at 16.29. Does that clear it up for you? Edited November 7, 2022 by BTFC LION More info. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 7, 2022 The reports of the Leicester track and the reason it was aborted, wasn’t because of what it looked like after the work had been done. It was because it was spongy going into the bends and therefore not safe for the riders. With no chance of getting this moisture out the decision was made to move it to Kings Lynn. Reported on BSN on the stream. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Danny King is one of those rare riders that offers far more than just points. He's an excellent Captain on and off the track and even when he may be under par points wise is always helping others. He takes pressure off others. Lawson is a big points scorer but has never really wanted captaincy responsibilities although a good mentor. Worrall may be the more dispensible of the three. If any of them were free and available, I'd want Danny at Brummies over the other pair every day of the week. Top bloke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
