The Observer Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Being an avid Lions supporter not sure if I should admit I'm cautiously optimistic for tonight, not something I'm use to saying. The weakest link in the team presently is the Team Manger unfortunately, but maybe after Monday the penny will have dropped. His T/R decision making has been nothing short of diabolical, let's hope it's not needed though tonight. I predict another nail-biting experience ahead.

Well that's certainly true and I seem to remember he dropped an almighty ***** at Wolverhampton earlier in the season. Bless him he means well, but the lad's completely befuddled & bemused as he clearly demonstrated in the post race interviews on Monday. One thing I was astonished at though was the fact the Lions had employed a total of 28 riders this season, a lot of misfortune granted, but no wonder we are currently the "strongest" team in the league.

bruno Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's more proberly that it's that I'd had a drink watching the after meeting interview but it did seem to me he'd had a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Leicester should win this. Bates and Newman at reserve who both go well at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Can't believe people are tipping Lynn to lose. Liecester are rubbish and Stars should beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 To be honest, at this moment in time, I think Simon would bring a little more strength to the side than Nicklas, than it is not decrying his efforts. I think we might just sneak a win tonight Nicklas would bring that little more strength to the side i think We did just sneak the win though Stars to lose by 10 How dare you go against your team like that .I expected a defeat to.But credit to the team for pulling that one back. Auty brilliant when he took a tip from Lambert(Robert)Lamert was awesome tonight,never seen him gate so well.Best we have seen of Jonasson too,two great races in his last two to go straight through the lions pair.Toft had his moments,and Jorgensen seems a good match for the Lynn track.We could even afford an off night for Huckenbeck. I love winning with a team of triers,it certainly beats losing. That result may just keep us from gaining the wooden spoon this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippy Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 A great result. Some great racing and passing. Huck had clutch trouble. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Didn't expect a 10 point win. Leicester certainly deserved a point for their efforts in a thoroughly entertaining match. Shame they didn't get it :-) Proper no.1 in Lambert tonight. In fact the team did well, even huckenbeck got amongst the points at the end. Only real weak link was the other Lambert who has looked very poor since his return from injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Connor Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Loving this team! Not enjoyed speedway this much since our 1st season rejoining the elite league! Every meeting has a buzz about it! Roll on next week!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potman Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Great meeting, saw some good races, mostly towards the end. Robert was superb, all the rest put in a good shift, only Simon Lambert lacking, although he did finish all his races. Some great passes from THJ, riding with the bit between his teeth. Same for Michael and Josh. Kai was unlucky. Roll on Wolves next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theboss Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 A great result for the stars, sounds like we now have a team with grit and determination and that should bode well for the future. Well done to all 👍 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Who knows about the future JC, will Speedway in its present form still be around, if it is which League will Lynn be in, if any. Will Buster still be the main man at the BSPA. As for the riders we have now, well they could be anywhere ir some even nowhere. Should bode well for the future JC. Take a rain check on that one. As a side issue have you seen what's happened to the footballl club at Lynn at the start of the season ? Must bring back memories for and what could have been achieved under your watch... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That result may just keep us from gaining the wooden spoon this season Yes tellboy, I'm looking for a hole in the ground, for what ever reason, he didn't have a good night did he!! Important thing is we won, in what I thought was probably the best meeting at the AFA this season. A great result for the stars, sounds like we now have a team with grit and determination and that should bode well for the future. Well done to all There's a nice feel about the place again JC, and it's a sheer joy seeing the riders riding as though they want to win, which wasn't the case earlier in the season. I still don't think we'll win to many matches (just my opinion folks), but speedway is there to be enjoyed, and with this septet, we have a team to enjoy watching, win, lose or draw. Possible double-header against Wolverhampton next week. Is there a curfew at KL, because if there is, it could be a problem getting both meetings in, unless we start a little earlier, and cut out any intervals. Certainly looking forward to it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 If the double header goes ahead, can only assume a 7pm start and just one interval between the two matches, otherwise we'll be there til midnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
