SCB Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Tom P did it that night too, pretty sure it finished 34-58 to the Knights. Great night to be a Lynn supporter Then the following week rode at home to Poole in what was Shane Parkers last meeting as he was dropped for Peter Nahlin. Peter Nahlin got injured in his first meeting vs Peterborough the following week (after a crash with Nigel Sadler) and had to be replaced by John Cook who was in his mid-40s by then. Ultimatly thats what cost Lynn, dropping Shane who was average 6.5 and bringing in John Cook who got about 5. We were at the Lynn/Poole meeting and after his last ride in heat 10 Shane sat on the infield on the first turning watching the meeting cheering on the Lynn riders but looking like his World had just come crumbling down around him and when he was interviewed was clearly upset at being dropped and I don't mean annoyed with the management sort of upset but upset he was leaving Lynn.

Granted Cook struggled for the first few meetings, but when he got his machinery over (from Sweden?) he was superb - apart from at Eastbourne! Lynn's troubles were they had dropped too many points away from home mid-season, hence the reason for switch in the first place. SKY certainly seemed to enjoy the league title going to the end, and IIRC, the play-offs came in shortly thereafter much to the dismay of The White Knight et al.

Yes, the play off came in the very next tear I think Eastbourne topped the league again but lost to Wolves in the play off final Anyway on topic Top four (in no particular order) will be Poole Eastbourne Coventry Kings Lynn Edited December 29, 2013 by stevec 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could talk long and hard about Cookie at Eastbourne that night. I am sure all will be revealed one day. It amazes me how 13 years later that season is still talked about. But we were conned that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest its what we are doing in September that matters. I can see the reasons too as Pawlicki has an awful lot to live up to.

Poole Quay 7 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Leicester to surprise everyone and romp away with the EL Title at first attempt Well we all start equal so good luck!? I hope Leicester have a good first season and the club and supporters move on having enjoyed the experience. We really need to look after the teams in the top flight to protect British speedway for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 When is the 'Program of heats' format likely to be released. These are so important into the relevance of predictions. Has a date been intimated yet.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
