I admit in Greg's case it might of been 55 though I expect NKI to keep, or get close to his 6.64 average next season myself. Would i have him again in 2025, that would be no....What we can't do is drop a non performing rider, or replace an injured rider for someone no better, when we have points to spare, if we really are going for a play off place.

Hamish McRaker 601 Posted January 16 On 1/14/2024 at 9:40 AM, therefused said: Agreed, would definitely have Iversen at two Wouldn't Iversen be best deployed in a position that gives him more of his rides later in a match, when the track is more likely to have gone slick inside and can get his back wheel onto the dirt? But problem with that, could be that KL has several riders with similar needs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted January 16 I'd say the riding order almost picks itself....MPT/Wojdylo at 2, Tarasenko at 5 and Basso/Iversen either way round at 3&4. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s definitely the strongest order!! If they put Iversen at 2 then we’ll look extremely strong in heats 1, 6, 8 & 10 but we’ll look pretty weak in heats 3, 5, 9, 12 & 14…. whereas having Iversen at 3 or 4 with Basso and MPT/Wojdylo at 2 it makes the team evenly strong throughout all heats! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haza 1,774 Posted January 30 Sad to read this morning on Facebook that ex Kings Lynn co promotor Brian Griffen has sadly passed away - some will say who I guess but Brian and Nigel Waggstaff gave the club two great seasons 1999and 2000 when the club should have won the league title but was pipped by Eastbourne on the last meeting of the season . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is sad to hear. Think he was the one who came up with the Silver Machine theme and his financial backing enabled signings like Rickardsson, Crump, Adams and Pedersen to happen 1999-2001. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't like it, so RIP to Brian. Agree, we had some top riders around that time, and came very close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rusky 113 Posted January 30 He was a top bloke. I loved chatting to him at meetings - he always had time to speak. I have been to a couple of his photography exhibitions too in London, and he was a very talented photographer, and we did keep in contact on social media. Who can forget his planning and presentation of the opening night for the when he & Waggy took over....... RIP Brian Attached is one of his photos that he was commissioned to take recording the rebuilding of St Pancras station by LCR ( London & Continental Railways) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's sad news. Brian and Waggy put together a World class team whilst in charge, and Brian was instumental behind that. My sincere condolences to his family at this time. Brian was a really nice guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the flip side Eastbourne's had their greatest night in 2000 for the title win with an enormous crowd. At least KL still have a team to support though.... and think Crump was the fastest rider I ever saw there in his prime, just for us Eastie fans now.
