I was referring to recent years not 10 years ago before you go trapping off. I am not a Kings Lynn fan so I would not know about Kings Lynn training schools, I didn't think they had them anymore, only one I know of is in Scunthorpe.
Happy Christmas.
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.
They were very good friends and Screen tried to help as much as he could so Mark would win the world title. Mark was so good to watch in his prime and a top bloke.
I expect he is over the moon the best young British talents are going to Poole, he will have to put up with us challenging for honours. It must drive him up the wall.
That is a popular unsubstantiated reason why Poole get the best young riders. There maybe a host of reasons and none of them cash related. Don't ask me what reasons but it has been said many times that Poole are not the best payers.
