That's the problem with thinking it's one not to miss, it rarely turns out that way. I can't see how your expectations are so high being a Kings Lynn supporter? It wasn't a classic due to Glasgow's heat leaders not turning up but there was plenty of passing and fast action on another well prepared circuit. I don't agree that it was slick, as has been said said by others, and they are clearly trying to reintroduce a more effective inside line. Given Panthers dire position and form, I think this was perhaps one for the home fans, so I enjoyed it but can understand your lack of enthusiasm.

 

No lack of enthusiasm for the racing, it was way better than anything served up at King's Lynn these days.

Just disappointed in how the Glasgow riders just let the Panthers blast round the outside time and time again.

 

Someone needs to have a chat with the curb crawler Bacon.

Made some really good starts and on the pace but doesn't move from the white line at all and gets passed easily.

I've been equally frustrated many times before when the opposition have blasted around the home team so I get what you say. Trouble is that it's bloody obvious what's going to happen but it just keeps happening :o

 

Likewise with Bacon, we hear all this guff about motors, who's helping him and what he's doing elsewhere, but then he tops it with a lemon of a ride like heat 14 yesterday, First to last on the inside tram line. He's picking up a few points now with some extra speed but doesn't seem to be learning how to ride the EoES. He just doesn't look aggressive on the bike so I'm not sure that he's up to it anyway, time will tell.

I think some extra coaching might be valuable for him he is improving steadily but yes he does stay on the white line too much, my concern is more with what we can do to get Richard Hall in the points , he's obviously trying but getting nowhere fast at the moment is it engines , poor set up or some thing else . Ged has said his equipment was superior to all the other riders available at the time of signing him , So what can we do for to get him in the points.

The only people that are stating the track was slick are true Lawson supporters who don't want to admit that yesterday was a complete shambles coming from Lawson, he said that he wanted to be a real number one in the league this year, sadly to do that you need to be winning heats 1, 13 and 15 home and away to really prove this. It wasn't just Lawson that let us down though with Worrall and Summers not on the best of form either Summers really scoring 6 if you take away the tactical, so Worrall and himself were as poor as each other, but if Smith, Bewley and Nike hadn't scored so well we would have taken an absolute thrashing. I wouldn't even say that Lawson's 2 points were hard worked for either because he finished behind the opposition number five with a second string and reserve behind him.

We lose, and we criticise however we move on! Hopefully this was just an off day for our top 3!

I think Glasgow were caught on the hop and did not adapt to the track conditions. I was very disappointed with there display and am pretty sure they will bounce back from this hammering as they are a quality side and just put it down to a bad day at the office.

Very little I am afraid, his 'time" has been and gone. You might see the occasional sudden burst that excites the "hope springs eternal" in Ged.

We've got 3 riders in the top 7 of the championship averages and you come up with this. We know and they know things didn't go to plan but this is speedway if it was predictable what's the point

I seldom if ever make use of either the food or the bar outlets at the showground, however it is my understanding that two food outlets should be provided by the showground authorities. On at least three occasions recently only one was in attendance.

Took the missus out for a meal on Sunday.

Unfortunately we went to the Showground.

 

2 cheeseburgers = £9.

1 tray chips = £3 (could only afford one between us).

 

Pay less in the Gourmet Burger chain and get a knife and fork.

Yes there were a number of close races and a few passes but the inside third looked threadbare.

 

I've seen much more overtaking in the past.

 

It's how the riders wanted it. It's not just the Danes who like it slick it seems, even the Aussies do. Too grippy for them last week

Lets face twit, Richard was good in late 2006, but what has he done since, although to be fair he's OK on the long tracks, but that doesn't help us
