CrystalCastles Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Home win for KL, would think by 12-20 points. Should be entertaining though. Kurtz & Herne should go well. Hopefully the hornets mid order can all score a few. And we might keep it tight. Edited May 17, 2011 by shirlmeister general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Don't know what the weather is like elsewhere in the country, but here in the King's Lynn area, it's very sunny and extremely mild. So if you're thinking of coming along to the Norfolk Arena this evening, then think no longer......DO IT. Bryn is almost sure to discard his multi-coloured home knitted tanktop for his favoured summerwear, that being his string vest. Presenter Kevin Moore will probably be reading extracts to us from the latest Jeff Scott book. I'll be moaning to all and sundry about my sciatica.....ouch, it don't 'arf 'urt!! Jaybea42 will be.........................who knows! It's the last chance to see the Young Stars for a month, so look forward to seeing you later.

Daniel Smith Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 decision to attend has been made by the weather. I'm giving this a miss tonight. Chucking it down at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 can someone keep us updated with weather please? don't want to make an unecessary trip from Boston to find it called off, especiially with cost of petrol etc.... I know it is still early but has there been much rain? forecast for showers up to around 4 and then sunny intervals. Do we believe these weather forecasts??????

NathanB Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) We have had some rain which was quite persistant for about 30-45 mins which has left the ground wet. Is it enough to call the meeting off or make it a null event, I don't think so as it hasnt rained properly for a few weeks so will have probably helped more than hindered. I am exactly 1.6 miles from the stadium so cant imagine that it is much different there. Edited May 18, 2011 by NathanB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Weather looks very iffy to me here, so i do think I will give this one a miss. Heres hoping the meeting goes ahead and they get some decent racing in. Is there any news on any more signings or will dale wait 28 days for the new lad to be bale to race and Lewis Kerr to return ?

whippy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) the latest we can leave is 6.30pm so can someone let us know what the weather is doing please? If we lived in or nearer Lynn we wouldn't hesitate to go along and see what happens but a 60 mile round trip to find the weather has put the dampers on so to speak is not much fun. Got to stop at Baxters for chips en route as well !! priorities !! We are die hard NL supporters so do not really want to miss a meeting if we can help it. Sorry to say we are not interested in EL racing. Just wish Sundays had been kept as race night for the NL, much easier for us. boss man not home from work yet so it will be a rush as usual. We don't see that the crowd has improved that much on a wednesday when the senior team is not racing. Our opinion of course brain not working!!!!!!! shall just text dale !!!

whippy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Enjoyed our speedway fix. no more for one month though. All the lads got stuck in. Track was in good nick. Fastest time of the night goes to Jake Knight. 62.4 heat 8. When he gates and gets to the front he is good to watch. smooth leg trailing style. Roll on June 15th. Saddened though by the lack of support for the YS's. Edited May 19, 2011 by whippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
