  1. Sorry about a couple of typos. Can't edit for some reason
  2. If anything you were a bit kind on the podcast I think.like you discussed, serious questions about why the club has under performed must surely be asked Lessons can surely be learned from others. We went to Northampton last week too, and there are several points i think are worth a mention.The presentation was pretty slick, you could hear the announcer clearly. Grading breaks although regular were relatively short, and not just after the home team had got a 5-1 to sabotage any momentum. Interval entertainment was good , something else to watch other than more tractor racing The promoters were there,visible and interacting with the crowd .I think one of the last times I saw Mr allitt was on the back of the truck at the showground wearing a panthers jacket when lynn were there. I didn't think much to that! Our team; Max was superb, as was Bomber after his first rate issues,can't really lay any blame on the youngsters, Jan was poor apart from one rider, but in my opinion Brn Cook just didn't look interested or like he was trying, and he committed the " ultimate sin" of throttling off before the end of the race and basically giving up. I'm no body language expert but he just didn't look interested, and that pisses me off, we should have been fired up as a team and wanted that win , sadly it looked like we werent and didn't. I'm not the only one that spent a fair bit of money that evening and it wasnt good enough
  3. I was chatting with a once die hard supporter yesterday.He now visits occasionally and was stunned that it cost him £75 to get in to lynn with his 2 teenage kids to watch the tractors do more laps than the bikes.Say no more. Its just not value for money. Add in a drink each and a program and you've got bugger all change left from £100.
  4. I don't think its for solely British riders either, more for incidents that occur racing in Britain
  5. Its such a shame.last weeks meeting was a cracker, it looked like the whole team wanted it,so i was kind of hoping for the same again last night.Sadly not.Mixed feelings about seeing PuK romp home in heat 15.Right result, wrong race suit
  6. I must have watched a different meeting .I found it dull, predominantly gate and go and drawn out. From completing 4 heats before 8 o clock to only get to heat 7 by 8.45 was dreadful
  7. Just as well the foxes management released jeppesen and not bachelor!
  8. This could be fantastic news for british speedway so long as the small minded bspl dont bring in new rules to scupper it such as " no young riders from Poland allowed to race in the uk" or something equally ridiculous. Rather than other clubs panicking about their top riders being sent elsewhere, maybe part of the plan is to send young poles over to gain experience on varying tracks, and in return give more young brits better opportunities abroad as well.With the new rules set to come in next season in poland regarding the number of other clubs their squad members can ride for, surely this must favour British clubs? Well, Ipswich so far but this could just be what British speedway needs
  9. Its been well documented that he is permanently in pain as well, that and quite possibly some strong pain meds won't help
  10. Can't honestly say that a moaning old git will be missed much anyway. To quote the late David Ashby , " its nice to be important but its important to be nice " .It sounds like you are neither
  11. Maybe if the baby offset engines weren't so bloody fickle and everyone rode an engine that was more flexible, for want of a better term, less meetings would be called off as the bikes would be able to cope in conditions that varied a bit
  12. If something like this was to be introduced then it would also need a ruling at championship level where every championship team MUST have rising stars at reserve to give british youngsters a chance.They have to start somewhere.
  13. Apparently the king's lynn foam fence was being transported over for today
  14. Too right.Im glad you said two young lads, all the attention seems to be on Cooper, but Jody Scott is just quietly going about his job and was equally as impressive last night.
