I stand by it. The No 1 is the leader. If he is under performing it effects the whole side. If he's doing his job it can lift the rest of the team.

A 2pt win for the Stars he says.. "Not really an improvement" That's a new one to me. I'd always considered a 2pt win better than a 10pt loss but hey ho, I live and learn.

I haven't assessed anything. He's been signed as an out and out No 1, a 9.82 average including bonus. He is the 2nd highest averaging rider in the league and well above the rider in 3rd. You can't really get a more 'out and out No 1', bar Jason Doyle.

Yes they would. Holder did about as expected score wise.. 7.39 rider, now riding at No 1.. against a Kings Lynn team pretty solid in the middle order. There is none of them you can 100% say he should be beating pretty much every time. Lambert is a different kettle of fish. An out and out No 1 whose job role is to score big. Any time a side built in that fashion has their top dog under perform so much they are in trouble.

I've already stated Lambert was the problem. The others were close to what you would expect. Some meetings they might get 4, others they'll get 7 or 8. They are middle order, inconsistent by nature. If your big hitting no 1 only scores 4, you are massively up against it from the start.

Finally something sensible. I don't grasp all those naysayers claiming this meeting proved them right about Kings Lynn. Most of the side scored well. You cannot legislate for your No 1, an out and out No 1 at that, only scoring 4pts. He should be scoring 13-14 at home. Had he done so, Kings Lynn have a fairly comfortable win.

Bargain, and most importantly the meeting finished nice and early. Everyones a winner. Passing in every race too?

Highly doubtful unless he had a complete change of attitude.

Yes but meetings were done and dusted by 8:15pm (7:30 start). My memories of missing the 10pm bus three weeks in a row (10-15 min run to bus station) due to the meeting running late... and as a result not being allowed to go for a few weeks as a result are just my mind playing tricks on me!

I wonder if they were whinging when riders were going in and out of the tapes back in the day. Sit b****y still and get on with it!

No it isn't at all. They have chosen to go there early. I'd far rather see riders come out early and do that and build up tension for the race than just stare at a bare track.

You can't be that dumb surely? The race you are complaining about, all riders were at the tapes within 2 minutes. They didn't need the 15 seconds, they started when the clock hit 0.

And all meetings were finished in 45 minutes weren't they.

You complained about THIS race, which started bang on time. Gardening is utterly irrelevant as long as riders are ready to go at the conclusion of the two minutes. They could just sit in the pits instead. That would be exciting.

You are wise to give up. You've chosen a race that is started with 100% efficiency to complain at. The two minute clock is there for you to view.

You don't want a 2 minute warning? That is what you are saying. Riders have two minutes to be at the tapes and ready to race. Every single rider in that race did that and the race begin IMMEDIATELY as the clock hit zero. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. If a rider wishes to get to the start line quickly and do his preparations within the 2 mins that is fine. It is when the gardening continues AFTER the 2 mins has expired where there is an issue. That didn't happen in this case.

So you're unhappy at a delay of 0 seconds? You do understand the 2 min warning don't you?

Another one talking absolute nonsense. The race started at the exact moment the 2 minute warning expired! In other words, extra time spent gardening? ZERO seconds. Yep, tedious.

When you have to make something up it shows your argument is weak to begin with. The FIRST rider arrived at the tapes with 1 min 35 of the 2 minute warning remaining. The race started at exactly 0 seconds remaining. About as efficient as you can get.

He saved it? He confirmed he'd deliberately wipe out another rider.. then adding' He'd get up tho with laughing emoji's. He saved nothing. It keeps his sycophants happy though.

Errr.. no he didn't. "Jesus mixed reaction from my tweet. I said he’s in my black book which means I’d never leave him room. I’d take his front wheel any day. He’d get up tho idiot me social media these days. You cry baby’s"

Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

Yes, a double header it was. League Cup semi or Final wasn't it? Didn't Marvyn Cox have a good meeting? Lars was very erratic. Great gater but as you say something was missing. There were a couple of times he seemed on the verge of taking the next step, but had an injury that stopped him in his tracks.

What language is he tweeting in?

Munkedal was a hero of mine, only reason I put him there That and his 11 from 4 when we won away at hyde Road in 1987. Otherwise it would be Sigalos or Bobby Schwartz at 7. I think Ronnie Correy could have achieved much more had it not been for his broken back. He was one of the top few riders in the league prior to that.. he could easily have put 5 starts together in a World Final and taken a title. When he returned he hadn't got the hunger on the world stage anymore.
