Baldyman Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I don't know how that crowd compares to normal,,, but I did expect it to be a bit bigger and a bit more rowdy. Enjoyed the tractor racing,,, but half the amount of laps would give the same outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well done to the Stars - particularly impressive from Jorgensen. Replace Andersen and that team could be in the mix for fourth place. The mid meeting Witches collapse was disappointing but will happen away from home. Never looked like providing the winner of enough heats to challenge for a win. Cam and Jake were brilliant. Danny did OK but just didnt look quite quick enough. Everyone else just wasnt on the pace. Some hard fought decent races. Probably more entertaining than most meetings but not a classic. Good atmosphere - it was good to be back at compost corner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two real speedway races and one other with a pass in it ( exiting from the 2nd bend first lap ). Poor value for money in my mind.

Your not doing a very good job in getting me to return to home meetings- last night I never even followed updates I’d even forgotten there was a meeting on till this morning when I looked for the result .

Snap. Haven't seen any posts that suggest a decent amount of RACING nor any posts suggesting any added value. As for updates, since Starsupates gave up I don't get any as I'm still banned by the club on social media. To be fair there are a few signs of added value but they all come courtesy of the hard working Supporters Club, who AFAIK are completely independent of the promotion. I'm sure if anything changes it will be trumpeted on here cos I sure as heck won't find out from the promotion (see above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 It's certainly not as good racing as I remember it to be. Looking at the track before the meeting started it looked fantastic for racing on and it did all the way through. I think maybe it is just a case of the inside half of the track stays just as fast as the outside, as it didn't seem to slicken off. Still a very fast track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be until they stop using stock car friendly shale and put some proper speedway dirt down. But while the four wheeled stuff keeps filling the stadium I don’t think things will change. Would have been nice to come on here this morning and read some positivity after a comfortable win over the old enemy rather than going round in the same circles. Jorgensen is developing into a very strong home rider for us while I wonder how long it will be before somebody admits that Kasper can’t get the hang of our track as he seems to score points ok elsewhere. He wouldn’t be the first rider to struggle with the Lynn surface but it needs sorting one way or the other. Now onto a tough assignment at Peterborough on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Here is a positive for you Bagpuss,, the stadium is light years better than it used to be. And I will be coming back on our next visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I followed meeting on Updates and noticed that this meeting took longer than the others on the same night, fans must get fed up with the delays for the tractor racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt just the tractor racing though. Lambert was warned in heat 1 for movement at start so was pulled back. Rather than the 4 riders coming back to the tapes they sat around for what seemed like an age. Same happened in a later heat when King was warned. Then there was the wait with the Twitter vote.

Probably the same amount of passing as it was back in the day. Riss and Jorgensen brave manoeuvres down the back straight. King and Lamberts battle and then Heeps overtaking Lambert. Toft passing King. Jorgensen Gp move on Heeps. That's off the top of my head while a bit bored at work. Didn't Lambert overtake Heeps in 15 too. Edit: Forgot Harris around Kerr bend 3. 17 minutes ago, A ORLOV said: I followed meeting on Updates and noticed that this meeting took longer than the others on the same night, fans must get fed up with the delays for the tractor racing.

Bagpuss Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Don’t forget Lynn start fifteen minutes later than the others.....an hour and a half is reasonable I’d say. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I accept that could be the reason for the later finish but in cold weather delays and time wasting need to be kept to a minimum 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the tapes delays and Twitter vote count up Id say it was a smooth and quick paced running The tractors are needed if you want to keep the track in a condition to enable the passing that did take place to continue..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
