Not sure Kings Lynn can claim to have done much in helping young british riders unless you feel a couple of national trophy meetings is a massive help. -

In my opinion they were both brilliant natural talents and great to watch on a bike, a similar argument would be when I was still going Lynn signed Henka I think the same year Ippo possibly got T Rick now for two seasons I thought Henka was a better more talented rider than Tony but as mentioned i stopped going in 1992 and past that point Tony ended up being a six time world champion. Henka is probably the most naturally talented rider i ever saw on a bike but possibly similar to Screeny he just didn't have that last 10% dedication to make it to the very top of the pile despite both having masses of natural talent. One interview that always resonated with me was Sam Ermolenko saying "I feel I have reached that level now when the pressure is really on i can beat anyone" and a week later I remember him lining up against Hans Nielson possibly a world team cup event at coventry and that might have been the year when Han's only dropped six or so points all season , Sam trapped and although Han's was faster he had the calm head and track craft to keep the Main Dane behind him. Apologies if these years/stats are slightly out as I say i'm going back a long time ago but they were great times how like most of us I would dearly love to travel back in time and be there again. -

I think your right again from memory Hackney were backed by Terry Russell they were destroying the old second division they looked to move up and got no help from anyone (sounds familiar) other than getting Simmo , they got smashed for a season then dropped back down taking Simmo with them . They had Andy Galvin at the time who was second division top gun but he had a bad injury a few years later that pretty much put paid to his chances of progressing further. I'm 56 now and would have been 17 or 18 at the time so having to trawl the memory banks so I could be 50% off with the above. -

Kings Lynn too (already mentioned). Poole have done virtually nothing in helping young british riders over the years. -

I think in the perfect world he would like to offload the Stars and focus on just stocks I would be stunned if its him.
