Thanks for clearing that up Dale ,,I believe a lot of people were unsure of that fact,,me for one..How ever if you have to go out with the likes of Lambert or Boxall in heat 15 on a regular basis it could have a bad effect on that riders average ,,he might think twice about excepting the ride ? which would likely result in just 1 point or even less ..as i believe bonus points dont count on the C.M.A ..But on reflection i dont suppose many riders would think of that outcome....

Stars by 20

 

You got that wrong! It was 23 points - King's Lynn 58 Kent Kings 35. :lol:

 

I thought they were turning a corner but Mason certainly justified his place today if it had been Woods (although he is still learning) it could have been carnage.

Yes, to see David Mason again justifying his place one does wonder who gave that wrong decision earlier in the season to dump him? :oops:

I suppose Compton was supposed to perform better than he has so it could have gone either way but...... I do wonder sometimes

Some interesting racing out there tonight, the races between Boxall and Lambert particularly hard fought!!!

 

Knighty rode well on his comeback B-)

 

The Kings aren't that bad, a few of them showed up at Lynn tonight for sure!

 

Well done to the Young Stars!!!!!!

The YS have a very solid look about them now. Get to the play offs and provided Lambert rides in both legs in semi & final I can see more heartache for Dudley and a Lynn league championship.

 

I hear Lambert's not riding at Stoke on Sunday...

I know young Robert has these strong German commitments but surely he could miss the odd continental jaunt..?

 

Must be frustrating for KLYS fans to have such a star rider and know he virtually never rides away from home.

I wonder if he'll miss the NLRC (on a Saturday night) as well..?

I don't like coming onto public forums, especially Facebook, where the world and his friend can read everybody's business, but I can't let certain happenings at King's Lynn Speedway last night go unmentioned either.

TRACK SHOP: I took more flack and abuse than is acceptable due to the continuing lack of merchandise for Robert Lambert. I know that I advised you at the previous meeting that some items would be available last night, which in the case of photos, were posted to me, but didn't arrive prior to me leaving for the stadium. The delay over this particular riders merchandise is due solely to the fact that when the photographer has been in attendance, Robert hasn't until recently, so it's just one of those things. Plus there have been some serious family problems involving both the company I represent and myself with regards to illness, that have had to take priority over speedway, and I make no apologies over that. With regards to any other merchandise requested, I had sold out at the point that you requested it. I don't sit there and lie my back teeth off as a cover up, which was suggested by one irate gentleman, I have no need to, I'm just being employed to work for a company that's not part and parcel of King's Lynn Speedway Club. To the person who told me that I could stick my second-rate merchandise up my a**e purely because I didn't have a Lewis Kerr pen

he could purchase, at what he described a rip-off price (£1), then my thoughts to you sir, as you tripped over the step leaving the shop, were that you'd probably have had more room up yours.

Finally on this topic, to the Kent supporter who also directed some swear words at me because I didn't have any items of Ben Morley, I'll say once again, “Can you buy King's Lynn merchandise in your track shop at Central Park Stadium”, no of course you can't, so why should you think you ought to be able to buy Kent riders stuff at the Norfolk Arena. It was a most childish attitude.

PROGRAMMES: Once again, an unreasonable amount of dissent shown towards me because I didn't have any of last nights race-sheets for sale, when the ticket office had run out. I think you nearly all know that I have never sold programmes for the club, and that they've always been available through the clubs own employees. Yes you are quite right, I do write the visitors profile, and present a quiz page in the Elite League programme, but that's where my working connection starts and ends with King's Lynn Speedway. I will also stress that I spend a few hours a week in doing those particular tasks completely free of charge for the club, and like you, I pay 50p for my race-sheet at a 'Young Stars' meeting. I don't get a free copy, but if I did, surely I would have earnt it!! Last night was an exception, because the crowd was far larger than normal, and whilst I don't know, I can only assume that the normal amount of race-sheets were printed to start with. I do know that a reprint was done, and if you couldn't be bothered to walk back to the ticket office to buy one, then that can hardly be described as my fault can it?

Blimey, MM sorry I couldn't make it last evening (work commitments) - sounds like the normally serene surroundings of the Track Shop became a war zone...

It was an excellent meeting last night, one enjoyed by all.......I think!!

With all due respect why should he miss the german meetings?? He signed to ride over there 1st, the competion and calibre of the riders he is riding against is far better than that of the NL amd he will learn alot more out there than he will riding around Stoke. Kings Lynn knew the score when they signed him

That's a logical explanation. Nothing different to Poles in the Elite League whose prior commitment is to their home country club if a fixture at home clashes with an EL match.

I don't disagree but Sunday is the NL 4s and you might have thought it would assist young Robert's development in ride in major championships at this level (which before people say anything is, because of his young age, the appropriate level for him in this country atm).

I do hope he does ride in the NLRC at least as that meeting would lose something without him..
