They just done it because was a joke of a meeting almost like a friendly ..as I said no one cares about the ko cup ..the crowd itself was one of the lowest I have seen at Swindon for many a year .

Anzum Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Definitely the best meeting of the season racing wise. Can't believe Tobi wasn't Robins rider of the night. Perhaps it was decided before heat 15. Very honest interview by Nick saying he has lost a bit of confidence in the track. Not surprising considering the number of crashes he has had at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Zagar Racing or Reading Racer ,he said the crowd was better than average! Or does this mean he may not have attended. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going purely from the updates site I expected Toft to replace Riss. When you have a reserve that looks to be on fire why not use him when you can.I'm sure Riss wasn't 15m quicker than Toft at any point in the meeting.

Sidney the robin Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) An awful crowd i can't ever remember a crowd as low as that in all my time and how many of those had the rain off discount tickets.The Belle Vue meeting is worrying surely they will run that meeting at a huge loss and common sense should prevail just give Belle Vue the points and postpone.The meeting last night was half decent after some of the poor racing we have endured this year the Morris pass of Lambert superb and heat 15.But looking at last night King,s Lynn are a very strong side some of there team had off nights yet they still hung in there and stayed strong.The second leg looks a huge task for the Robins but they have a squeak but i think the Stars will be to strong in the end good luck to them in the playoffs.

g13webb Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Dale is normally on the case and don't usually miss opportunities to strengthen his hand. With MPT going so well and some of the others struggling, I too had pencilled in changes that didn't happen. Which leads me to believe MPT had problems with himself or his machinery that restricted him from further rides. But no doubt the truth will come out.... I was some-what disappointed to finish up losing by 6 after leading with 3 to go. but still feel confident of progressing through to the final. Lamberts scores are so important for Lynn, and this showed last night. Cant remember the last time him have 5 rides and not winning a race. Jorgensen and Simon were also off the pace, but then again I suppose everybody has an off night... sometimes.... I had thought this 1st leg was winnable, but hats off to the Robins who fought back brilliantly..... It sure makes the second leg more interesting....

Sidney the robin Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It was great to see Puk getting there with his form he rode some great lines and scored heavily.With Robert only scoring 5 with no race wins to score 42 pts was a great effort shows that Lynn have a really solid side.

Bagpuss Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I’d argue that Robert’s scores aren’t as important as people might think based on last night, the other five scored 37 and we have a nominal deficit to overturn. Encouraging that he can have an off night and others are able to step up to the plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty important to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty important to me. I can see your point but it’s a two legged tie so IF we go through then others have stepped up and covered his off night, job done. Also worth pointing out that he scored 14 last time at Swindon and we didn’t score 40. It’s not about individuals for me, it’s a team effort and a little disrespectful to the others to put too much emphasis on Robert’s scores.

waytogo28 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Every other KL team member has had more than a few off night's this season inc. Niels. This is only Robert's 2nd blemish in a season where he has been an exceptional rider for the Stars. And for GB. We were lucky to have him in the team as it appeared that he was happy to go elsewhere before the season began. He has given his all in a professional way. I don't think he is yet over the hill. Edited September 11, 2018 by waytogo28 additional point made 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Nobody is being disrespectful to the other team members, they all have a place to fill and a job to do. My comment about the importance of Robert's score was made illustrating when he has an off night, any team would miss his contribution, and last night we suffered from his low score, more than the ones from Jorgensen and Simon Lambert. We have a strong team and could easily cover when someone has an off night, but when we had 3 rides scoring low, that included Robert , we were always going to struggle.. That not being disrespectful to anybody...…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
