  1. Who are Coventry going to replace of the top four teams in the league? Poole? Lakeside? Belle Vue? Wolves?
  2. With crocked reserves it will be closer than it should be. We will need a guest for Kyle and theres no one out there who can do the same job. S Worall or Wright would be the best choice I guess. But the last time Worrall guested for us he was crap. Guess we are lucky that Lynn dont have a strong reserve pairing. We have the riders to deal with Iversen, Mads K and young Lambert. 52-40ish
  3. But surely it was clear he was crocked but determined to ride. Its a world final so having got there and it being three rounds unless a body part was hanging off he would drag himself to the tapes. I stick by my thoughts that Ellis is a far better and more accomplished rider than Josh Bates regardless of what Gavan thinks. Gating and riding higdh and wide is one thing. Being able to battle through and win is another and from what I have seen of both, Ellis and Newman are better than Bates by a margin, not a slither. Hopefully Bates will continue to improve and we will have a good amount of British riders giving the TeamGB manager a headache on team selection in future seasons.
  4. Watched Bates. Yound lad making his way. If he gated he did well but his passing ability seems non existent at the moment. Like it out wide. Lambert B rubbish himself when sandwiched and he got through but he seems at the moment to be a bit of a gater. Plenty of time to improve though.
  5. Decent enough meeting between a couple of also ran teams this year. Few points. Batchelor has completely lost it. Got an average to go PL I guess but what team would take him riding like this? The German is rubbish. So is Sargeant. Where is the crowd? Or is that the norm at Kings Lynn these days? Only thing thats kept me watching is young Lambert to be honest. Oh, and I thought the Rolly Pollys had retired but they seem to have a new gig as the start tarts at Kings Lynn
  6. Crap. Irreplaceable. Both our edrs are crocked now. Get well soon Kyle
  7. Enjoyed both extra league meetings. Gollob and Lindback so great to watch. Thought the later meeting was good but Doyle was over the top in aggression. Nicki P would have been proud. Most of the riders all gave racing room but not him.
  8. Media player very hit and miss. I get adverts followed by racing which last a short period before stopping, or adverts folliwed by a screen of noise with a statement in Polish probably telling me I cant watch because I am not in Poland. Frustrating.
  9. I knowh it dragged due to the crashes but once the track settled it was a thoroughly entertaining meeting with some brave riding. Deserved winner in Peizczek who rode a blinding first bend to stuff Lambert. Brits did well. Ellis with his broken collarbone unlucky to not make semi as his last ride was called back and he missed the gate on the rerun. Bates stuck his back wheel in the dirt and did well. Best wishes to Pzredpelski after that horror crash.
  10. With delays the crowd (passengers) have suffered, Kings Lynn should do a British Airways and put everyone up at a local hotel. Young Holder following in the footsteps of his brother. Starting to look good.
  11. So have I. Poole meeting didnt start until 10 past 10. Then a four hour drive home.
  12. Not for the Pred crash but the track was bad earlier on when riders were all over the place, hence extra track grading. Polish girl just said Pred has no breaks by the look of things.
  13. Pred must be hurt the way they are taking their time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope they have another ambulance there.
