If so, I'm glad Poole aren't in this league purely down to the reason they can't add any more holes into our track. Have you been on the sauce ? PL= Premiership CL= Championship. Last time i looked Poole were in the CL. Have i missed something ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don’t think ‘excited’ is the right word but I’m more intrigued about this signing than any other Lynn are likely to make as it could go one of two ways, the rest of the top six are riders who have been here and who we know all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I would like to think that Bridger has many less issues than Lee did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers99 Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Nothing gained, nothing lost with this signing IMO. Low 4s, will probably have the beating of all `Young Brits' and a few other reserves which means will maintain his average at worse. Could you do better on a 4.00 average, possibly, but could they average 6.00 like Lewis has the potential to if it all clicks, probably not.

E I Addio Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, sommelier said: Lewis will be on good equipment this time, not like the Jawas that held him back last time Lewis only did about half a season on Jawas , and did at one point have a good GM. I forget who he bought it from but according to his mechanic it was a “ beastie” . When he was at Lakeside he had a manager that I got to know quite well and who was a moderating influence on him, but the old Lewis eventually came to the surface. I like Lewis, and always have done. Would like him to do well, but I kind of feel the way he rode at Lakeside was the upper limit of what he can realistically achieve, and coming back is not easy so he might not do so well. It depends what’s expected of him. In what is now a weak league he might do a decent job in a second string role but I wouldn’t expect too much. I hope I am wrong.

Daniel Smith Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Good luck to Lewis Bridger & King's Lynn. A gamble from both side's but neither have anything to lose by it. Absolutely certain it'll be successful too as AFA is a gaters paradise & it's one thing Bridger was always good at. If it's Bridger at No6 & Cook at No1, Kerr in the middle, that'll show good strength in depth throughout the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GM you are referring to was Jonas Kylmnarkopi engine. I understand he is back on Hagon bikes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Anyone else heard the rumor that Kings Lynn have been in talks with Terry Betts?

I hope so, i would resume my visits if that was the case. Should be plenty of wheelies this year, with Bridger in the team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
