Kings Lynn vs Ipswich Witches May 17th 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Yeah 3 points is good,,, but we do have a habit of blowing big leads over the years.  

But massif start with away win,,, could be huge in a couple of months time 

Top of the table clash Thursday,, and I see another 3 points coming our way

Lot's to be encouraged about there for King's Lynn. 

If they can get Bridger & Proctor going they may not be as dead as some think, at least at home. 

Yep I’d probably agree with that. Bridger will get better the more meetings he rides and while some will question whether Proctor has it in him to get going he needs more than one meeting. 

Essentially tonight Lynn could have won but for Cook and Riss starting slowly and Rowe having an absolute wordie.

Shoulda woulda coulda of course but its not all doom and gloom.

No need to panic,  but there are a lot stronger teams than Ippo to visit Saddlebow

Will start off with a massive congratulations to Anders Rowe. Super performance which even though it was for the auld enemy, bodes well for the future of British speedway.

Good to be back and there was some good racing with Riss coming from last to second in the final heat being the pick.

Bridger was much better than his score suggests and could have easily had more. He was in the mix in every heat.

We never really looked in the meeting until the end but if a couple of things had gone our way, the score could have actually been closer. We were on a 5-1 in heat 9 before bike problems for Kerr & Jorgensen turned it into a 4-2 the other way. Ostergaard should have also been excluded in heat 10 for having both wheels over the white line which would have been a 5-1 instead of a 4-2.

Overall though can’t argue over the result because we just weren’t at the races early on. But as track dried out we certainly improved.

Not a bad meeting in the end,some good racing and bend 4 seemed to have some super grip if you hit it right that would propel you forward an extra 20 yards.

Anders Rowe,brilliant.What can you say he won Ipswich the match.Roll on the SON in a couple of years.

Kinsley will struggle like most of us thought,whilst there were better riders to choose.But he is one of Allitts boys;)

Proctor was very poor.Ok he needs more than one match,but he has to be more professional and turn up before 19:30.That was disgraceful and should be fined for that.If the match had started on time he wouldn't have:angry:

And with a bit of luck we could have won with Kerr's e/f being critical.

Let's not forget our poor management too,do they really know our riders.Heat 7 6pts down tac sub time,of course not.Jorgensen flying at the time,loves a wet track stick him in,no we don't want to do that.Ipswich used their noddle,i even called it:rolleyes:Danny King ht1 R/R again loves wet track get out there get 3pts.Well done Hawkins.

So a culmination of a few things and we could get better,but i do feel these will be the bottom 2 in the league.I hope they would be the top 2 and get in the final,that would be something else.

Was the crowd really restricted to 1000.That's the biggest crowd of seen in a while 2,000-2,500 maybe,what do others think?

I've just got back from lynn and what an excellent performance that was. Yes we were a bit leggy towards the end but the hard work was done in the first 10 heats.

Since 2019 we seemed to have got that hunger and desire back to want to win again. And lets be honest most of us probably predicted a defeat with a weakened team.

For me this bodes well for another good season and hopefully back to full strength on Thursday. Let's keep the faith and well done to Richie and Chris.

They certainly won't be the top two!

Think Ipswich are better than Dad's army at Peterborough & Wolves.

Who was Ostergaard guesting for?

I agree from where I was standing on the 3rd turn it looked a decent crowd certainly more than a thousand.
