  1. Thought it had been mentioned that there was now to be an instant R/R for injured riders? Makes good sense to me,
  2. I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in an end of season speedway podcast with KL team manager Rob Lyon by one of our local papers (EDP). One of the topics covered was speed of bikes etc and I asked Rob about F2. He's very much in favour of the development, especially for young riders. You can listen to the full podcast via http://www.edp24.co....f_two_1_2819611 if anyone is interested. From memory I think it's in the "Ask Rob" section around about the middle of the podcast (if you don't want all the chat about the Stars season).
  3. Interesting that the Young Stars are to announce an "exciting" signing tomorrow morning. I'm really hoping it's Robert Lambert. Couldn't think of anyone more exciting at NL level.
  4. Thanks Mimmo for posting the lineup. Great looking field and a perfect opportunity for the lower order lads to get some laps under their belts. Looking forward to it already and of course, wouldn't miss the opportunity to pay our respects once again to Ash's memory. Once a Star, always a Star
  5. There will be live updates on tonight's meeting on a new twitter account called @KLStarsUpdates
  6. Really looking forward to it. Obviously the result isn't important but if we could beat that lineup I'd fancy our chances against anyone this season. Hope TT has a great night, well deserved for the "Mr King's Lynn" of our generation. Doesn't seem that long ago I was watching him make his debut. Legend is an often overused word nowadays but 100% fitting in the case of Tom.
  7. Great looking lineup so far, one that should appeal to all Stars supporters and hopefully a few from elsewhere as well. Might have to head to the auction afterwards. Still got Travis McGowan's racejacket from TT's testimonial meeting hanging on my office wall so need to complete the set
  8. Lots of rumours going round that it's a top 4 of NKI, Rory Schlein, Mads and Nicolai Klindt for 2013. Happy with that if true
  9. Tom Young has signed on loan from Scunny
  10. Only quickly scanned some of the proposed lineups and one name I haven't seen mentioned is Artur Mroczka. Absolutely flew on his appearances at the NA last season and would be a bargain on 5.85. Guess on that average he could be back at Poole, but if he isn't, I'd have him in my team in a shot.
  11. Agree with the heat times previously given. I got 65.34 for Heat 5 and I thought that Heat 6 was awarded due to Strudwick's crash.
  12. King's Lynn beat Mildenhall 22-11 in last night's fixture. I can provide heat details when I get home this evening if anyone wants them. Nick Laurence top scored for the Lightning with 9 (3 ride max).
  13. Well said Trees, one of the reasons I'll be attending today. Been a great servant to British speedway, provided a great entertainment and some colour in a sport that's lacking a few characters nowadays. Hope Shane has a great day and we're rewarded with some great racing. Can't wait PS - Anyone know if they have Sky Sports in the stadium bars or the pub nearby?
  14. Scott Campos confirmed as the final rider. Welcome back Scott. Young Stars open their season away to Scunny on April 9th and then host USA Future on April 11th
  15. Well I know you're coming to King's Lynn on April 11th and am looking forward to it The USA Dream Team meeting last season certainly was "eventful" but cracking entertainment until the weather spoilt things.
  16. Looks like the Young Stars are just looking for the final reserve and I'd be very surprised if it isn't Scott Campos on 5.27 1. Cockle (7.47) 2. Johnson (5.52) 3. Knight (6.59) 4. Lowe (5.62) 5. Kerr (5.55) 6. Stokes (3.71) 7. Campos (5.27) - TBC Looks a pretty solid team that should hold it's own at the NA. Hopefully Knight and Kerr will be the big improvers. Also see we've drawn that lot from just down the road in the KO Cup. Bring it on
  17. Fantastic write up Duffyscouse Kicking myself for not going now. Talked myself out of it after seeing the score on Friday night. Just couldn't see Mildenhall getting anywhere close. How wrong was I. I'm so pleased how the season has turned out for Mildenhall. If any bunch of fans deserve some good times, it has to be that mob. However, I'll make no secret that I wanted the Scunfield boys to win. Lots of admiration of the team they put together this season and of course especially pleased for young Crumpie Nielsen
  18. Don't think he rode for the Young Stars at Newport According to Live Updates the Young Stars team was: Adam Allott, R/R for James Cockle, Tom Stokes, Scott Campos, Lewis Kerr, Rhys Naylor and Sam Woods. I was told he got dropped for the remainder of the season. Why, I have no idea but I certainly hope to see him back as a Young Star in 2012.
  19. I think so. Not heard of any changes I hear the quality of the updates for this meeting has increased ten fold. No more of that Mungo and Bagpuss rubbish, the Dream Team of updaters are on the case
  20. Don't worry Sandie, I think we've actually met once before, several years back in Bydgoszcz. My mate and I sat with your lot in Sektor B and I think stayed in the same hotel My user name on here used to be AJH before changing my e-mail address made my profile inaccessible for some reason Anyway, looking forward to tonight and seeing how Armstrong, Woods and the Dream Team lads get on. And even better, pass away a few hours before heading off to Montenegro for the England game
  21. Looking forward to this as I missed the visit last season. Bring your bucket my way Sandie and I'll gladly donate
  22. Looking forward to this as well. Looks a well balanced field with several riders making their NA debut, which is always refreshing to see. As JustSpeedway mentioned, would of preferred to see some new to UK riders but I'm sure the promotion will be keeping an eye out for fresh faces in 2012.
  23. Bugger forgot about this. How many heats gone and what's the score please?
