Nothing new in having an ‘old hand’ as rider/coach. It was commonplace in division two days. Also Lynn need to be competitive to get a big enough crowd to pay the bills. Also, if you read the Kent eagles track review in the Star, you will see how they lament not having such a rider when they came up against a grippy track at Lynn. Not that it was very grippy but it was by Iwade standards.

Lynn looked to have a decent hard core support for NDT last year. Some local lads with Scott ,Harrison and Rushen entertained by and large. Caught people’s imagination.

Another Norfolk rider. Trevor Hedge grandson.

Great to have local riders. Hopefully a few more will be named soon.

Jake Mulford to start at No 5 for Young Stars. Norwich lad. Excellent signing. Team building off to great start.

Kent didn’t have a track available when time came to declare-that’s the gossip.

Real shame.

No Kent Eagles in 2026. Hope to be back in 2027. Described as due to unforeseen circumstances.

Have to say Lynn’s social media is good. Well done to those responsible.

Yes as you say, exciting reserve duo. Jody and Cooper race and that’s what we like to see and why we go to speedway

Lynn did 4 ndt matches last year. They built an audience and the riders provided plenty of entertainment. Enjoyed those meetings and hope Young Stars will be back in 2026.

We were fortunate to be able to see Michael in full flight. A joy to watch.

Thanks for those stats. So, do you think he started 1975 on an assessed 3 point average? I was a regular at Lynn but can’t recall any talk about his average was team building regulated by averages at that time?

Made me wonder as to what Michael Lee’s average was when he came into the team. Any ideas?

Described as a showman by local paper.

Can we expect to see you in 2026 at the AFA?

Cooper loves his speedway. Shows when he is racing and with interviews during meetings. Good luck and can’t wait to see you in action again. if it is Paco - I don’t know much about him but he seems to want to entertain. That ticks a big box for me. I like to go home talking about the racing. That’s what is important.

Thanks for the information.

No idea. Didn’t go.

I’ve seen Nora meetings and they all had the same format- so who decided on that?

Hate their format for team meetings. Very contrived and confusing. Standard is really no better than a glorified practice match.

If the answer is NORA, goodbye and thanks for the memories.

Scott in the NDT around Lynn was class. He showed he can gate and race from the back. Watching him work his way through was a highlight. Deserves a chance and he’s local.

NKI testimonial was this year. I think it is Nicolai Klindt on March 15 2026

I am half expecting Kings Lynn to announce speedway will be no more at the AFA. Best hope is NDL but it feels time has run out for PL at least.
