sommelier Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Looking forward to this one, a long drive but hey!!! Only seen young Lambert Twice this year, but what a talent you have at Lynn! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thursdays meeting will have no barring on the play offs, if these two meet up. Buster is canny enough to make sure the track on Thursday will be nothing like the one he will prepare IF these two meet up in the Play-offs. Lynn fans have seen what Buster can do, when something special is called for. Let Ford think he is putting one over on the rest of Speedway. I have faith in Buster to repay it, with interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Come on , we all know the sport is corrupt as hell and self interest is the order of the day . So why folk continue to get upset about it instead of giving up like thousands of others , is beyond me . Does anyone really think that having Benji Compton at reserve is suddenly giving Poole some sort of huge advantage ? It's not exactly up there with the Belle Vue meeting last year in terms of a carve up now . Â Â Compton is crap and won't score many points. And as buster has said before when riding Poole cheats never prosper. Hopefully the stars will take all the points . Â No one is saying Compton is going to make a huge difference. He MIGHT score a point or 2 that the riders he has replaced didn't. And that is the Poole mentality, every little helps! And if he is as crap as everyone suggests - why not just stick with what they got?! They already have one of the better draft reserves!

em1500uk Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Should be a good encounter Like others, I'm not impressed with regards to the Benji Compton thing, but nothing surprises me in speedway anymore. There's no real consistency with the rules and rule keeping these days. Too many people more concerned about their own self interests than the interests of the sport as a whole. That's one of the main issues for me. Either way, I hope we win and send the Pirates home with their tails between their legs so-to-speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have one of the better draft reserves! totally spot on. Â why get rid of Johnson for Compton if as everyone says he isnt going to make a difference. Â its the poole way to destroy young brits they do it on a regular basis. now on their 4th number 7 this season. Â we all said Poole would at some point manipulate the draft and what happens. Â Matt Ford still ruining British speedway year on yera. Â Back to the meeting it will be close but im praying for a Lynn win by a wide margin. Come on you Lynn fans make sure you give Ford and the stooge Middlo all the stick they deserve. Let them know what the majority of the speedway public feel about them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Panda Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I was at King's Lynn for the SWC qualifier.............first time I had been there since the late 80's........ Â The staff were brilliant when they realised I had a problem with the seating.........and changed the tickets straight away.......... Â The fans were ok too bearing in mind how many people were there however I am not sure based on the comments here by the fans that I would want to visit there again...........over the years I have been to many tracks around the country and encountered the friendliest fans.............a lot of the fans that get on forums are nothing but keyboard ninja's who like to make trouble for anyone except their own team......... Â A Poole surprise win I think.......... Â RP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 As for Compton he probably won't make a massive difference BUT his extra experience compared to Hopwood & Johnson could gain an extra point or two in a play off tie and that could be huge. Whilst you're correct about the lack of professionalism within the sport Baggy, I'd respectfully suggest that King's Lynn have gained far more from having both their Fast Track Reserves picks "locked" (it was only supposed to be 1 per team, originally) than whatever Poole may gain from the hairdresser, which is likely only going to be the odd point here and there, if that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Half expected them to declare Chris Holder in their side as a replacement, followed by an amended guest booking ruling to appear on the BSPA website in a couple of days explaining how such a move is now legal.

Tom Turner Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Will be a very tight meeting. Hoping the pirates can pull off an away win. Will depend very much on the performance of Kyle, Bomber and Maciej in my opinion. Â Not sure why we got Bomber to guest, could we not of just had R/R? Or perhaps we could of bought Brendan back? Â Â Did he ride yesterday? edit. Just read, yes he did. More cheating?? Â Don't see how it could be cheating this time? Would much rather have Pawlicki than Bomber tbh.

What`s cheating about it-the meeting at Lynn on Thursday clashes with the Polish final-hence the facility-not mixing him up with his brother are you ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
