Was it 1986 when Lynn didn't win a meeting until around July? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was later than that someone better informed than me commentated that they only won once which was Swindon away Einar got a 15 point max which meant he scraped above a six point average so Rogers could have him back in 1987, with all due respect to Einar I was hoping he wouldn't make the cut. We had a truly dreadful team that year we got Richard Knight who went from world beater at Lynn to seven point man which I think in hindsight for a few years prior to Richard's arrival we were so bad we made him look gp standard. Who remembers Kevin Brice he was pretty much nailed on for fourth place by the second bend but was the best trapper ever, I remember one meeting we were in with a shout against Cradley and it came down to the last heat and Brice out trapped Gunderson like he was standing still the crowd erupted but it was all over coming out of the second bend. Halcyon days still remember the mental lynn fan "nutter who would sink 10-15 pints in the bar come out every time Richard Knight was getting ready to race shout "Richard Knight " at 20 thou decibels you could have heard him in Glasgow and before tapes even went up he would be back in the bar he never watched a race all season. He was about 11- 12 stone but looked hard as nails but so long as you nodded approvingly to his Richard Knight war cry you were safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Brice was one of those remarkable riders who kept going whatever happened.  At Foxhall we called him Binary Brice because his score chart was often just ones and noughts 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
