  1. To be fair to Fricke, he scored as many as Doyle usually does around the AFA. More often than not Doyle always has a visit to the safety fence, certainly not one of his favourite tracks to visit.
  2. So, like the Poole meeting another last heat decider but a totally $#!+€ meeting. Something has to be done about the track at King's Lynn. FTG race track these days
  3. I truly feel for Stars fans that passed over £46 over the last week, 1 good meeting out of 3. The AFA has no value for money.
  4. Showing our position in the Premiership Table so far. Appalling
  5. Actually, football is having a similar problem to Speedway in that younger fans are not coming through the turnstiles. The average age of fans going to Premier League matches is 42 and is increasing. Compared to the season before the Premier League was born the average age was 30. The top 2 divisions are pricing families out of the market, relying heavily on the merchandise, sponsorship and television markets for income. It's expected that over the next 10 years the admission prices will only increase by 4% on season 2017/18. But by season 2027/28 the average age of fans is predicted to rise by 15% to just over 48. Clubs are being pressurised to reduce turnstile costs to encourage under 25's but many are not interested, instead increasing the numbers of corporate packages available. If things continue in the current trend, by 2035 the Premier League is to be played out to half empty stadiums or even, majority corporate venues
  6. It's within the rules, tactics are just that, fine by me. Sergeant may receive a 7 day injury suspension though so hope it would be worth while for him.
  7. Agree with regards to Stefan but always gets himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. A quality rider constantly on the injury list. I personally think it would be madness to bring Andersen back.
  8. You are joking I hope. Andersen averaged 2 from 3 home fixtures and coming back from injury. S.Lambert is averaging 3.20 from 2. Bringing Andersen back is suicide with home wins soooooo vitally important to making the Play-Offs.
  9. The new averages are out and we're below the 42.50 average. We're on 41.85 giving .65 to play with. A perfect fit would be to release Garrity 5.45 for Erik Riss 6.10. This will put Palm Toft down to reserve. We'd have to wait until Wednesday to do the change but it's certainly one that would put King's Lynn in a stronger position. R.Lambert 8.58 Riss 6.10 Proctor 6.25 Jorgensen 5.78 Iversen 7.15 Palm Toft 5.64 S.Lambert 3.00 Ave 42.50 = Perfect
  10. King's Lynn's to throw away. If our rider's do their jobs this will be a comfortable home 3 points. 55 - 35 Just to add though, the score doesn't reflect whether the racing will be good or bad, just the Rebels losing Doyle could be the difference in being close or a thrashing. For me, Fricke is a poor guest.
  11. Where was I being negative?!? I simply placed a statement to a poster celebrating an outstanding meeting by having a pop at us who don't enjoy King's Lynn as much as we used to. As I've said many time, I hope those that attend enjoy themselves and continue to get out of it what I once did for may of years, doesn't mean I can't have an opinion or if I do to just tow the party line. Just so you understand, if you don't understand the quote - 1-2 good meetings doesn't make £400+ a year worth while.
  12. He's never gonna pull up trees but at home he will cause upsets. Winning home meetings are of the up most important to making the Play-Offs and he's delivered, far more so than Andersen. It helps the team massively that he can gate, even if he ends up at the back he can certainly help the team get 3-3's by just being a nuisance out the gate. I hope the club keep Simon for the remainder of the season
  13. Yep, my last 2 posts if you read them. Do you stop moaning, especially about something there is no reason to moan about?!?
  14. Seems as though many fans enjoyed tonight's racing and R.Lambert was in spectacular form? Very pleasing to read and long may it continue, so the AFA can deliver entertainment, what was the difference to the usual meetings??
  15. Jack has an opportunity to pick points up tonight. What was evident Monday night was regardless of his position, Garrity will ride his bikes to the limit which makes him susceptible to an off. Swindon needs to put Zach against S.Lambert in every heat and Jack against Garrity. Could work perfectly for Swindon
  16. Were 2 laps completed? If so, why was the heat re-run at all?
  17. Heat 6, 9 and 15 were the only genuine races. Some would have enjoyed the 5-1 in heat 13 but Kurtz was easy pickings, not really a race was it. Every other races were done by lap 1 then strung out. Not denying that others found it entertaining purely because the score was close. The racing (Harris & R.Lambert apart) was nothing short of abysmal.
  18. First meeting in a while and likely to be a while before the next one. Apart from 3 heats all races were done by the first lap. Despite the score the meeting totally lacked any entertainment. A good 3 points from the Stars but a very very poor meeting.
  19. I don't think just the win is important, the chase for the top 4 is so tight it's vitally important to stop the Pirates taking a point. Every home meetings from now on has to be a win and a win by 7 points or more.
