Don't forget televised Extraliga II meetings in Poland on Thursdays too.

Not like you to be defensive about your own team 😁 have a day off with the bias. Nobody is saying that anything matters more than anything else, its just an example of how things could have been different. And shows that from a Lynn perspective we weren't a million miles away. All ifs, buts and maybes of course. So don't go looking for a disagreement where there isn't one, theres a good lad 👍

Also just been informed that if we'd won that BV away fixture when Jan was injured and beaten them at home in April when we had all those engine failures and only lost by two then we'd be going into Monday's meeting with Sheffield with fourth place in our own hands 😩 The fine margins of sport!

The Ben Cook injury and covering for him when he was #5 in the averages was the main issue but it was Kvech getting cleaned up in Gorzow which was the dagger to the heart of Lynn's season. Away wins at BV and Brum went begging as a result and he struggled with his shoulder for a while after. No surprise that we are finishing strongly with the top six all present and fit! As you say what might have been (an all too familiar tale).

LOL not for the first time you’ve proven yourself to be utterly clueless. Richard Lawson - rider of the season and should be the first name on the team sheet for next year IMO.

Sorry I won't be there this evening to say hello. Enjoy your day - but not too much 😁

Sounds like somebody with an agenda to me.

If only we could ride our home meetings at Cowley.....

*sigh* I don't know what's happened to you FB, you used to be such a good poster. If the Lynn track is doctored then they've certainly made a rubbish job of it since we last made the Play Offs in 2018. As has been pointed out a zillion times the surface is unique and very high in clay because of the stocks (which keep the stadium amd speedway going) Most importantly its smooth and without bumps or holes and has enough dirt for everyone to race on it. Its far from the best track out there nowadays during to the material but everyone can try to pass with confidence as its consistent and safe. Anyway well done Worky and commiserations Glasgow.

Very much agree with that. Its the box office where the queues occur, get half of those people buying in advance and it would make a massive difference.

You get the odd late finish but generally its over and done with by 9:30 at Lynn nowadays. If people cant be out later than that as a rule then that's on them not speedway clubs. Those people obviously don't go to midweek football matches, concerts, evening cinema showings or anything else that might deprive them of their cocoa.

It depends on the limit and how many teams compete (ie who may be freed up) but I'd be quite happy to seen them all back, its a team I've enjoyed watching this year. You just feel it needs somebody to nail down the number one spot so that everyone rides on the position they should, the current 1-7 has a really good balance. Niels has been a different rider at 2 for example compared to his earlier struggles.

And there it is, no televised meeting from Lynn is complete without a whinge from our friend from Peterborough 😁

There are clearly some issues at Oxford but fair play to McDiarmid, Killeen and particularly Kildemand for putting in plenty of effort. Palovaara was reasonable considering it was his AFA debut but the less said about the others the better. As a friend of mine said last night, we've only been waiting five months for the Lynn team to all click 😁 the opposition was obviously very poor but nice to hit 60 albeit too late to mean much.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Iwade. The site is a bit rough round the edges but its a very friendly club with everybody we came across polite and smiling, you don't get that at many speedway venues. The track was kept in pretty good nick on a very warm and breezy day by an interesting 'water cart' although the old blue groove put in an appearance later on. Racing mainly FTG mainly down to the Young Stars' dominance but there were one or two decent heats with Coops getting past the Kent riders in heat 12 the pick. Jordy Loftus looks a real talent and Jody Scott has come on leaps and bounds this year. Thanks to Jason for getting the team over to the back straight to thank the travelling fans after the meeting, looking forward to celebrating the title on Wednesday evening.

Made hard work of that but an away win is an away win. Hope Nic is ok.

I wouldn't waste your time mate. Several people who seem to frequent Lynn threads dont have a clue.

I wouldn't, as @BluPanther says they're probably abroad and have no interest in guesting.

I suspect rather than 'giving up' he's simply the best available.

I think anyone who knows their stuff or doesn't have an agenda can see that clearly.

Depends entirely on how they can cover Ben Cook I'd say. The guest system is an absolute lottery. Agree though, why would anyone give up on top four until it's mathematically impossible.

Well done to Leicester, they were by far the better team across the two legs. But what an awful, dreadful speedway track that is. I wouldn't open my curtains if it was in my back garden. And the referee wants striking off for the heat 6 decision.

Many of your posts suggest you are pretty clueless about how speedway actually works and that bowl of word salad confirms it 👍

Not from heat one though surely? That just smacks of poor prep.

Yep looks like it was R/R for him tonight. Doesn't necessarily mean he was injured as not all riders seem to ride over there every time but perhaps he's had a reoccurrence. How is it desperation? He is Lynn's form rider and is able to have seven rides at reserve so would be daft not to use him the maximum number of times if possible. But as people have said we need others to score well too. For the umpteenth time this team is built on a strong reserve.
