They were the best times I've had as a Lynn fan. Every week and last heat decider and Henka was just something else at Lynn, so so good from the back.

Don't think its money, just Robert not wanting to do the UK.

You will be amazed what a euromillions win can get you😉

Great to have a good old catch up with Emmo(Fairweather)tonight.We had some fun times back in the day of the old Champs night club,not just with Emmo but all the riders back then.Nice to hear he has moved over from the dark side(Suffolk)and now lives in Norwich😂

Think Lynn will turn it over on the night at Leicester

Hope your not a betting man! Mind you I think you would get decent odds on Lynn if you fancied a flutter. Pretty sure Dickson will have the home track sorted on Thursday to snuff out any possible Lynn fight back. A bit of grip on the start line and then nice and slick every where else. This is now the Lions to lose.

Only chance King's Lynn have to turn this around is to sack Iversen for Robert Lambert.

Are you a troll? I forget.

Iversen must be averaging more than any other Star to be at #1.   Yet he could (I think) be the only one of the riders that turn up (not Cook) that hasn't spent any time this season at reserve?

Musielak disappears, Cook disappears... what does the Norfolk air do to these generally committed riders?

Congratulations Lions, it'll be 52+ for you at Beaumont Park easily.

Yes,Iversen has kept to his average,as most others have.The only let down has been Cook.He managed to get his average down a fair bit so our choice of guests have been limited,then go missing for Lynn whilst he has his jolly in Poland for the last month or so.Cook should have been replaced,but as usual it's always too late at Lynn.

My thoughts on last night.

Nic,Richard and Jan have kept the fixture alive basically. Luke did well in heat 2,but Puk, Bomber and lewi were very disappointing. 

On a more trivial note, I find inserts in a full priced program really annoying at the best of times  but come on this is a knockout cup final, potentially a keepsake program so using one from a rained off belle vue meeting just sucks. Surely that could have been kept for the rescheduled day and given the fans a bit of a souvenir? Moan over. 

Good luck on Thursday lads

Leicester fans must get frustrated with Kemp. He can be a match winner or like tonight, just go missing. If he traps he's away. If he's at the back 99/100 he will just knock it on the head on the last bend!. You could see Dickinson was not to pleased when he was asked about it!

He must have the most retirements of any rider in the premiership and championship. My pet hate to see riders give up while last.

Total disgrace!

Was it obvious and transparent that it was the case before purchasing?

No it wasn't,never is.I have a Belle Vue and Sheffield one at home to use for a later date now,although the King's Lynn no1 and no6 will be different when they both come in August.I actually can't believe they didn't do a programme especially for the KO Cup final.

Typical Kerr, not ruthless.

Maybe he could have tried pushing wider on the third and fourth bends, but he's had plenty of injuries and, as a racer, Kerr I think has always been fair.  At Foxhall he was getting abuse from some Ipswich fans for a hard ride against Dan Thompson ...

Kings Lynn really need a few other riders stepping up, we know Fricke will score more than he did last night, Kemp should at least get a few points this time . Masters and Douglas are stronger at Leicester rather than at Lynn. It's a big meeting for Bomber and Iversen. We know Klindt, Lawson and KVECH will score but the rest needs to chip to stand a chance.

< SNIP >

Technically, Iversen doesn't have to have scored much more, because they are rolling averages, which also depend on the old score(s) dropped.

There's only 0.7 between #1 and #6.

In August, Kvech will be #1, and the in-form Lawson is fifth! Indeed, if the Stars home meeting with BV hadn't been rained-off, they might have had the opportunity to massage Lawson's score to put him at reserve in August.

Gustafsson was only "so so good from the back" because he never made a start. Actually that unfair he made a start against Coventry and the crowd groaned.

Yes self preservation maybe in the back of his mind, he has had many injuries, some very bad, like the one he had at Peterborough.

Noticed again tonight Klindt not ready to race on more than one occasion when the clock hits 00:00, what’s the point of the 2 minute clock if the referee doesn’t use it? 

Four points.
1. The rule covering the 2 minute warning has been specifically changed to say that riders must be ready to race within the time limit. 
2. We don't have a consistent application of this rule. Did I not see a meeting report recently where 2 riders were disqualified in heat 15 for not being ready? And then clearly, on TV, we see riders pulling up to the tapes after the time clock has reached zero.
3. If riders arrive at the tapes with 30 seconds on the clock, they garden for 20 seconds and then settle to race. If they arrive with 1 minute and 45 seconds on the clock, they garden for a minute and a half. I know it's a bit more technology but can't we have a maximum of 30 seconds once all four riders have entered the "starting zone"?
4. Perhaps when the starting marshal calls riders to the tapes, they should be obliged to comply and not completely ignore him.  

We could ban all gardening I suppose. Maybe not, eh?
