CatAndy Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Delighted to see Dan break the track record today. Times are usually nowhere near so I wondered if I would ever see NKI's time bettered but Dan showed us all today that he's still on course to be a major force. Well done, the boy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerk of course walked up to him and told him he had to leave and he didn’t, so clerk of the course pulled his cut out. Two riders came round to the start line , they probably didn’t hear the announcement . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Lambert rode around aswell but he didn't stop and went straight back to pits, as well as announcment the red lights were flashing and the start marshall was holding red flag which Cook went past and started gardening, thats when clerk of course went up to him.

Regular fans understand and will tolerate the watering delays but first timers may take a different view. At a rough guess, the attendance was about 2,500. That's about double Belle Vue's usual attendance. The way I see it, they'd be crazy to change from the 12pm starts on bank holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a lot easier travelling home as the motorways were open and they're usually closed after 10pm these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been stock cars on at the greyhound track for many years starting approx 1600 hrs. There is no way the council will let Speedway and stock cars on at the same time..... Where would both crowds park ????? Thai is why it is a 1200 hrs start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR1953 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 As a fan no longer with a team to support, I decided to take the long journey for my first visit to the NSS. I seem to have picked the worst meeting they've had! It wasn't good, certainly, but I half-expected it because of the time of day and the weather - added to which King's Lynn were disappointingly uncompetitive. However I was mightily impressed with the stadium and, in fact, extremely jealous. On the whole, I enjoyed my visit. Incidentally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with Craig Cook's behaviour. I was getting pretty impatient myself! One more thing - can a BV fan tell me whether Lidsey is one who only wins when he gates, or does he come from the back? Today, his one poor gate was his one last place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 On the Odsal thread, someone posted it would possibly be a good idea for Stox & Speedway personnel look into the use of Odsal as Stox was finishing this year at the greyhound track.

Sometimes you just know. And dan knew to as he diddnt shut off before the line. He carried on into bend 2. So he knew he was quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't far out so far, I have no pleasure in saying This is not including today. And are not rolling averages, just this seasons averages so far... Lynn have been very poor on the road. Not blaming any one rider, there a several who go pretty well at home, but you need some points on the road. Our engine room have been poor away all season. Still hoping to get some points in the remaining away matches.. TJ Home 7.71 ……. Away 4.14 Lewis Home 7.09 ….. Away 4.24 Tofty Home …. 7.44 …. Away 5.24 Erik Home … 8.00 ….. Away 5.54 Let's face it, Kings Lynn's team building this season was poor to say the least from day one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
