  1. Delivering newspapers as a kid a sliding round pavement corners whilst braking and singing there was only one michael lee. My dad wasn't best pleased when I wore my tyre out! And those bank holidays double headers, 11am at Saddlebow Road then all pile down to foxhall for the return in the afternoon. Happy days...
  2. No. They've changed it again thank god, although they park you at the back facing the rear exit, you can simply turn round in the car park and exit the way you came in.
  3. Nicolai announced his testimonial last night... will be 15th March 2026 at the AFA. Hasn't really started planning yet but is thinking a four team tournament
  4. This team has always been very capable. Ben's injury, close away defeats an home and away to BV and Sheffield that could so easily have been wins - add a bit more confidence and belief and our season could have looked very different..... If this team all fit average wise again next season, I'd probably take it, especially if we can't attract a genuine no. 1....
  5. Easy night for stars. Can see Mitch and Victor scoring a few more points once dialled in....
  6. I quite liked what they tried a few seasons ago, but simpler 3 points for a win 2 points for a draw 1 point for losing by 6 of less Same for home and away teams. No bonus points (always helps tracks with bigger home advantage) and no super heats....
  7. Cheers... been avoiding it as it was a right ball ache getting out. Had missed previous 2 home meetings due to hol and illness
  8. I don't see the need for a superheat. If it's a draw, it's a draw. Not convinced you should have one for the bonus point either as that typically favours the home team. What I would do is make matches 16 heats and have 2 nominated heats, where you have to use 4 different riders. Would benefit teams who aren't quite so top heavy and give us all an extra heat. Would need some thought as to which team names riders first and 7 ride max for a rider, not include heat 15/16
  9. Interesting what Buster said about the track. However, watching from the terraces it didn't seem to give riders any trouble. Just seemed surprisingly slick, which played to Leicesters far superior gating strength. The sun is awkward as it shines directly onto start gate, but never used to be an issue, only seems to be a modern thing? Or was the sun in a different place on Saturday nights? The racing this year has been very good most meetings, but last night was truly awful. All the extra track work made s0d all difference to the racing, just dragged out what was basically a cr@p meeting. Thank God the crowd was poor... On a different subject, have they seen sense and opened the main gate to back car park again rather than clog up the industrial estate?
  10. What a pile of pooh. Track may well have been poor, but when you didn't gate it was game over with a few odd exceptions. We didn't gate.....Leicester did, simple as that... Easily the worst home meeting of the season. Slim play off hopes gone too
  11. Tobies Thomsen suggests Lynn have given up hope of a top 4 spot - no disrespect but he's not PL 6 point standard and likely to have a field day at reserve.. and do well to match kemp and Joe Thompson
  12. Looking at our remaining fixtures we've got a decent chance of at least 18 points.. Leicester at home 2pts Oxford and Birmingham home and away - 4 wins 2 bonus = 10pts BV and Sheffield home - 2 wins and bonus points - 6pts Just that Suffolk lot away to deal with.. Sheffield (rather than Leicester) just might be catchable....
  13. The best thing about these changes is it gives Kings Lynn a sniff of 4th place above the tigers.... I could easily see the Stars going through the rest of our league meetings unbeaten... Sheffield are more catchable than Leicester....
  14. Thursday is 31st July, so it's still nki at 1 and klindt at 6 - changes from Friday to kvech / cook
  15. We missed a trick there I think.. our 2 replacements, although showing plenty of promise, aren't quite ready for the fast track reserve spot yet, but deffo ones for the future... so perhaps that's Robs plan to use the best one next season once they have some experience behind them this year...
  16. He's made himself a decent career for a rider who has a very awkward style. Loyal and always 110% effort But he must be coming towards the end..
  17. I'd not thought about the number of rides for Fricke - but its a good point that potentially helps the Stars
  18. I think you'll find our matches are scheduled to finish 1st Sept, so hardly b*ggering anything
  19. Kings Lynn will win the cup final...then Buster will give up on the league.... looking pretty much a lost cause after Leicester won at Sheffield... too many points lost earlier in season... needs a minor miracle to make top 4 now
  20. From 1st Aug, Ben Cook drops to reserve... possibly even worse than being at no. 5 Jan moves to no. 1
  21. Any 'solution' is open to abuse... Imagine if lynn were on 35 points in 4th place and Belle Vue in 5th on 34 points... they would find excuses for not racing on any potential rerun dates... lynn get deducted 2pts, belle vue automatically finish 4th... If today had not been cancelled, belle vue could have turned up to race, refused to ride due to state of track...meeting postponed....and you get same issue..
