Spot on! It was far better, less predictable racing rather than a first and second bend melee and  - well, that's it! All over bar dodging stones coming your way from the riders following each other round and hoping to gate better next time.

You never know the Prem Jnr league may offer a little bit more entertainment......if it actually gets run

STARS LAND NEW TEAM SPONSOR

KING’S Lynn are thrilled to welcome Minors and Brady Estate Agents as their new main team sponsor.
The Norfolk outfit will now be known as the Minors and Brady Stars with preparations well underway for the latest Premiership campaign.
Minors and Brady are award-winning estate agents which was founded by Jamie Minors and Alex Brady - who have both worked their way up from being trainee negotiators to running their own company with three offices across Norfolk.
And for co-owner Alex Brady it really is a 'dream come true' to become team sponsor of the club he has supported since he was a child.
He said: “I am a huge fan of speedway and I have been coming to Lynn since I was five-years-old. I went out to eight of the ten Speedway Grand Prix’s last year and we also sponsored Ty Proctor in 2019 - I would class him as a good friend.
“I have known Buster (Chapman) for number of years – I did a Power Slide class when I was 15 and then I dealt with him through work last year, and that is really how this all came about. 
“It really is a privilege to be asked to be team sponsor because I have spent so many years watching Lynn and you see companies like Poultec sponsoring them, but you always dream that one day it could be you. I love the sport and I want to help it grow again, gaining exposure so like I say, it really is a privilege.”
King’s Lynn owner Keith Chapman is delighted with the new partnership.
“I am very pleased to have Minors and Brady as our new team sponsor this year and I would like to welcome them to the club,” he said
“I know that Alex has been coming to watch the Stars for many years and he really has the club’s best interests at heart. Hopefully we can help them going forward as much as they’re help us as a club. 
“We like to have support from local businesses and the fact that they’re a Norfolk-based company is really good for the area and it is good for everyone involved. 
“I think it is brilliant how they have grown as a company in the last couple of years and not only that, they have also gone from being a sponsor for one of our riders to now being our team sponsor which is great for everyone. 
“Minors and Brady is a company that is growing and with the partnership that we now have, we can hopefully grow with them and take King’s Lynn on to bigger and better things.”

The Stars will launch the new season with their press and practice on Monday, March 16, at the Adrian Flux Arena. All media are welcome to attend with team photos and rider interviews taking place between 12pm - 3pm.
Gates will then open for supporters at 6pm with riders out on track between 6.30pm and 8pm, followed by a Q&A session between 8.30pm - 9pm in Champs Bar.

I'm assuming this is the Alex Brady who posts regularly on here.....

Pretty sure it's him as he did mention about being an Estate Agent once.

Good on him from being a supporter for many years and then sponsoring the Stars.

I'm glad actually if it is him because he's enthusiastic in his posts and is clearly a fan. He hasn't been sucked into the negaativity vortex that alot of the people who post on here have! Well done on building your business from nothing! And well done stars for attracting a loyal supporter as a sponsor.

Morning all,

Thank your kind words - its much appreciated.

Delighted to be in the position to be able to do this, and as a real fan of Speedway, it means a lot to be able to work with Buster, Dale & the team - who have both brilliant to deal with to make this all happen

In answer to question above, our third office is in Dereham, which is our newest office.

Heres to be a big 2020!

Well done Alex, congratulations to you and your team for the wonderful news you will be sponsoring the Stars this season.  Lets hope for a great year for all concerned.

Never in a thousand years,  They have been the Stars  from the start at Lynn and before that at Norwich in the middle 30s.

I quite liked the Knights name and race jacket of 1997-98 until it turned into that daft emblem that Brian Griffin came up with. The Silver Machine thing was ok but maybe the Stars is what we should always be going forward.
