Bagpuss Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Have rain off tickets from the Swindon debacle to use up so the prospect of the world champion means Thursday seems a good bet if it's a completely dry forecast, but with a GP on Saturday will he and Iversen be present?

kelvinht Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I was pondering the Iversen question myself. With Polish and Swedish matches dropping off he might decide to ride. Same question applies to Woffy as well. Would be refreshing (but unlikely) for the club and / or Iversen to make an announcement early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Must win meeting for the Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Wolves should win this meeting. Having Iversen there will help, but I still think we'll lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 After our performances of the last two weeks, I question my sanity in even going.. Wolves have been on the boil most of the season and the inclusion of Woffy will obviously make stronger. We are now that weak, every team coming here has a chance of winning. That in itself is sad to see. If this is the result of Buster being Chairman of the BSPA, then I for one wish he hadn't got the job........

SteveZodiac Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wolves away form has been pretty poor of late but Woffinden's return - if he is there - should help. With Woffinden Wolves might pick up a point - without him I reckon Wolves will leave pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I can't see Wolves losing this one, Swindon won there and wolves are a much better team than Swindon. The problem at Kings Lynn it seems is not that there riders arn't good enough because a top four of Iversen, Batchelor, Lambert and Schlein should be a match for anyone but they are riding way below their ability although Lambert return after missing the Swindon match will be a big plus.

Out of those 4 i would say only Schlein and Batchelor are riding well below their capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iversen certainly rode below his capability last week, Lambert is excused but as a team they should be competitive which clearly isn't happening.

Jester Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 From the KL press release on Facebook: "I reckon Kings Lynn is one of the best race tracks in the UK, so Im really excited to go there, said Woffinden."

Shale Searcher Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) From the KL press release on Facebook: "I reckon Kings Lynn is one of the best race tracks in the UK, so Im really excited to go there, said Woffinden." Really? I beg to differ Tai! It was once the UK's "Jewel in the Crown" as far as racing surfaces go.. Now, it's devolved into a "Fastest Motors Wins" kind of track.. The shale quality is not what it was, and its lost a lot of its banking as well.. Just Another "Rocket Ship" track now. ***********Weather Alert************ With temps up moving into the 30C Mark Weds/Thurs of this week, and a weak weather front sliding down the Country, when it reaches a line from Cromer across through the Midlands and through north Wales it bumps into the very warm to hot airmass that has drifted up from Spain/France, thunderstorms will trigger along and around that line where hot meets cool. Although the day will remain Hot, and humid, these storms will break out later in the day/evening once the cap erodes... These storms will contain heavy rain, cloud to ground lightning, and could develop into large, slow moving storms, dropping copious amounts of rain, in a very short space of time. As with this sort of set-up, some areas will miss these storms, and some will cop more than one!! Difficult to exactly where these will hit, but at the moment that's where they will probably break out..

I have to agree with you there. Going back to a time when there were a lot of decent speedway venues, Michael Lee once said, this track was in a league of its own. Its a far cry from that now..!!

Bagpuss Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 In my experience there can be quite a difference between what fans and riders consider to be the best racetracks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 In my experience there can be quite a difference between what fans and riders consider to be the best racetracks. Correct, Riders want a track that they can gate on, ride smooth and know won't be hassled by other riders Fans want passing, side by side, wheel to wheel racing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Is Iversen riding against Wolves? Can't see team news anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I asked the same on Twitter cos there was no mention of Being at BV tonight or team news for Thursday just something about a Wolves rider being there. Eventually got a reply to say he was. Got the distinct impression I shouldn't have asked tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the distinct impression I shouldn't have asked tho Now then SL,the meeting preview for the Belle Vue match was definately on the Kings Lynn website last night Anyway i see Robson is guesting for Howarth,wasn't he not allowed to guest for someone earlier in the season as he had an EL average or something or am i imagining things.

It wasn't yesterday morning when they were wittering on about Wolves visit tomorrow and a few of us said so I like things done in a nice logical chronological order.....oh yeah and emphasis put on the Stars riders As for rules....what are they ? Do they still have them? Edited August 24, 2016 by Star Lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still have them? It probably wasn't on there yesterday morning.Didn't have time to look,some of us still have to go to work . I too like things done in order,which to be fair the website has always done it in order,apart from the Tai bit. But over the last few weeks/months people have been moaning about that.Because when the Young Stars ride on Wednesday they rightly get the exposure first, but people were moaning why the main team news isn't on there before the Young Stars have rode.
