to me what Kings Lynn and the sport in general is missing is fun. used to be able to go to speedway, have fun, have a drink with the riders in the bar after, and actually feel part of it. the PL days were brilliant, not just because of the trophies, but the atmosphere too, all the themed nights in the summer brought out people dressing up, banner competitions, lots going on, and it was good fun

big bad Brad at Wimbledon, awkward style as so tall, but did ok although rather frustrating

Ivan was MBE also, and very proud he was

how long did it go before it was abandoned?

100% agree, but a necessary evil with the lighting how it is at many tracks

i honestly thought it would be called at heat 10, but this was NL and they just want to ride i guess. i thought everyone did well to ride, and well done to everyone for keeping it all moving at a good pace

was one of those relatively simple spins but the hand went out and that was that

getting friendly with the Americans of the time that were 'enjoying' themselves

Yep i remember Anders passing, great shame

for the 'first bend loonies' out there

last time i went in the stadium, 2008

grew up going to Wimbledon, grandad worked there, mum and dad worked there and met there, i worked just behind in Copper Mill Lane and used to nip round in my lunch hour to chat with Maido, so many memories and that's all being smashed in :/

i preferred the old bigger track in the 80's

an example of what i mean

the issue i've noticed the last couple of years mainly is that more and more riders are using the neck brace, so whether it's kevlars or race jackets the sponsors are generally covered anyway, as well as team names in some cases. the straps for these braces go over the racejacket/kevlar and it looks pretty nasty so a redesign of where sponsors and team logos go is something that needs looking at

pay no attention to the Poole rider, you should be listening to Starman, he knows best!

shouldn't have to do a bank transfer, there were plenty of options and there were certainly card payment options

i'm doing 4 nights/5 days and don't speak Polish, did 3 last year and all fine. with regards to DECENT seats, you'll get right at the top as that is all that will be left

there would be a lot of riders not riding

always makes me wonder why the captain signs knowing full well that him and/or others are owed money

SWC/SoN break

AGM should be held in the summer break, lets know what's going on early, so everyone can plan ahead. No point waiting and arguing and then we're at season start
