  1. The ref banned him from the rest of the meeting and fined him I read. Because of this, that's all get got, as he couldn't be punished for the same offence twice.
  2. Seems like most fans could do a better job.. Does he get paid
  3. A bit of info. Paul 55 Live in East Winch. 1st went with my Dad in 1972. My dad bought me a racing bike from Halfords. The manager dropped it off after work. My Dad was talking to him and speedway came up. He ended up dropping us off there for our 1st time on his way home. Loved it. Walked with my Dad 8 miles round trip every week until 1976. My Dad stopped going then, but I used to go with a mate( Dad had a car then so dropped us off and picked us up). Early 80's started to stand on the 2nd bend, just before the bar .By then there was a crew of about 8 of us. Bit of a haze ( hit Champs nightclub that was at the stadium back then) until I stopped going in 02. No crew left by then. I've been going again since 2011.Usually on my own. Recently my son and Grandson comes now and again.Just pick my meetings now. Fav riders.. Mike Lee, watched him since his early teens. Leigh Adams, Made it look easy. Loved watching Henka as well. Didn't like David Norris, think it was just an Ippo thing... Not keen Chris Holder, Batch, Nik P. Best moment was invading the track in 1977 when Lynn won the KO cup. Ran around the track with the team. Like riding my motorbike, watching my Grandson play for his under 11 footy side( Never missed a game in 3 years). Prem football, but only from the armchair. Still got my old autograph book, with some oldies in there. Profile pic is my son aged 8, having a skid. He made himself a track in the back garden..(17 now) Not on any social media.
  4. 4-6 point ish riders tend to be inconsistent. More so in the 1-5. But Bomber is better than 3.20 that he has averaged lately(Ave last 4 meetings). KP is a lot better than 2.00 at reserve. (Ave last 4 meetings) That's not their level. So out off form for some reason or another. Even SS must agree on these 2... Well probably not Some of the others have dropped off a bit, but the 2 above, got to be out of form.
  5. It's probably a bit of both tbh. It was always going to be hard to keep the standard Ippo set to last all season, without a dip. These 3 rides are suffering from a lack of form lately, for one reason or another. Had a quick look, and come up with the following.. Bombers last 4 meetings... 12 points from 15 starts ….. ave 3.20 KP's last 4 …….. 8 points from 16 starts... Ave 2.00 Allen's last 2 meetings … 5 points from 8 starts... Ave 2.50 These 3 are better than that.
  6. As you say Cook has appealed, so his ban is suspended until the appeal is heard. He could get more if unsuccessful, or less if he is. Vissing's appeal was declined. So banned Kennett didn't appeal. So banned
  7. Josh did have a spare bike, but said it was spinning up and not as good. Good to see he was received well in the conference by the Lynn fans. He had the balls to attend.
  8. Was good to see Lambo there, with the lads.This coming week he is to see a specialist in Germany hoping for good news.. If he can't come back, we have been talking to a rider to replace him until the end of the season.
  9. No. Cook getting into bother, not the only one..before a meeting or a rider trying to ride under the influence of drink at 70mph.
  10. He wasn't in the pits from heat 8. Returned before HT 15. Theres something about him and British speedway, that don't go together. Not sure he will see the season out if i'm honest.
  11. I noticed Jason chatting to Lambo's Mum at 7.15 and thought WTF.
  12. Josh blew his number 1 engine in his first ride. Fair play, he attended the after meeting get together. Lewis Kerr broke a primary and a rear chain. Tofty broke a chain at the tapes in his first ride. Riss tried a different engine in his first 2 rides, then went back to his usual engine. Cookie sent his usual engine for a service because he didn't think he was riding tonight. Porsing looked dejected. Cook, Kerr and TJ praised the track tonight. Lynn looked like they wanted it more. And TJ was class tonight. Really fast.
  13. I hope Josh has been told this I think RR would of been better, but good to see Buster honouring the booking.
