wealdstone Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 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!!!

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.

beckettlion Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Could Huckenbeck be the untried, foreign number 8 though? Imagine he'd be a very good shout for that role 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Could Huckenbeck be the untried, foreign number 8 though? Imagine he'd be a very good shout for that role I think Buster made it pretty clear he wasn't looking to sign a number 8 at yesterday's fans forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 If Troy is missing at the start could we see NKi come back (short term) together with Pedersen or would that not fit ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hope new No.1 is Dudek (Not doing U-21 anymore) - Have heard the said rider hasn't ridden for a club in UK before. Hopefully find out next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Dudek has said he won't start the season in UK, probably just cover for injuries. But England would be at bottom of his list so I would worry about him turning up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 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. 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
