King's Lynn 2016


Recommended Posts

what about Bob Humphreys and Howard Cole and Clive Featherby ?

I have to say that the whole experience at Kings Lynn was more pleasurable in those days despite cosmetic improvements to the Stadium.

 

A far better view from the old grandstand ( now standing only) than up in the windswept gods..

Could there be a German going to King's Lynn?Saw mention of a rider looking for a mechanic in the east of England area......maybe another team,but who else is looking for a rider in that area?

Kai Huckenbeck has been at Lynn practicing with Robert Lambert so maybe him?

 

Great talent but not sure that's what we need right now. Be good to get him as an asset I guess but we'd be so weak, especially away from home.

 

Bjarne is the obvious option now but bet he won't come cheap as he knows we're stuffed.

According to some national sports pages today, Kings Lynn could well be missing Troy Batchelor for some of the early season meetings after his operation on his broken arm!!!

Let's just cancel 2016 and start planning for 2017 now!!!

Maybe Lynn are going to do what Mildenhall did back in the early 80s.

 

Big build up in the local rags in the week leading up to the opening meeting (no social media of course) about a big hitter of a number one coming. The day arrived and I remember being inside a packed West Row then the moment arrived. Silence as a vehicle moved onto the centre green. Rumours were flowing of who this mystery rider could be. The moment of truth arrived when jumping out of the back of a rusty old bread van came Ray Bales. Pure theatre.

Any truth in the Troy Batchelor story (missing start of season) because his arm will not be ready? Would you be allowed a guest? (Could be named as your no 1)

 

Would that be allowed?

There used to be a rule saying they had to have ridden at least one meeting before you could use a guest, but unsure if it is still in force.
