old bob at herne bay Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) You just really do wonder whether there is a more deep seated problem at Kings Lynn. Well that's half a team and a team manager now gone from Kings Lynn 2021. By "mutual consent" seems to be the common theme. "Going in a different direction" I still cannot undestand the Craig Cook fiasco - once he left KL he hasn't looked back, and yes he cann ride the Kings Lynn track (as he proved last night) Maybe the trouble starts at the top ?????????????????

But you might be right. I pitty whoever it is to be honest. What can they do, other than try and get Wells and Heeps going, or replace them. The Lynn team was shocking at the start of the season. Someone had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Buster signs off Lynn's and Peterborough's team and wages.... WTF is goin on.. Cookie didn't go because of his riding of the Lynn track.

BartoszZmarzlikFan Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Just watched the meeting on the box. Heeps was so slow I thought he was a Deliveroo driver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i think he was riding a 250... He was better 4 days before against the Panthers. I predicted Heeps would be sh@t against his old Witches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be wrong though. Has also been my assumption that he isn't interested in riding in the Prem as surely somebody would have signed him by now? He's been here a few seasons and must have been approached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Jensen is also having a good season in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Pep would have his work cut out to a get a win with this lot. Farke might get a draw mind. Edited July 6, 2021 by semion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the visa rules but some of the higher ups at Edinburgh are expressing surprise he hasn't been signed and they know way more than me. Josh is desperate to get a PL spot. His gating was poor at first which might have put some off. But it has really improved now. But his passing is fantastic. He'll never be content to pootle round at the back like some were last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have heard repeatedly on Edinburgh Live Stream Commentary they keep questioning why no Premiership Club has picked up Picko already. Have never heard either of the commentators mention any stumbling blocks such as wrong type of Visa and both seem to know Josh very well. Lynn is the type of track which would suit young Josh down to the ground with plenty of grip and wide open spaces to wind it on. Pickering is certainly one of the most entertaining riders I can recall seeing in recent years. Every race 100% effort and a never give up attitude and he can score plenty points too ( mostly from the back ). Try to chose a race of the season and you will find that Josh has been in most of them. Getting better all the time too - it would be a great shame if was a Visa issue that was keeping him back. Looks as if KL may well have to go back to the drawing board anyway to turn round their season and this kind of move may prove to be the catalyst. Check out some of his races and make up your own mind ! Edited July 6, 2021 by SlicktrackSandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really have to watch the action peering through little square holes? The fence doesn't spoil viewing in any way, also makes it much safer for spectators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I beg to differ , if you are at track level the fence obscures the view. As I have said many times the undoubted cosmetic upgrade of the Stadium has done little or nothing for spectators 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepturningleft Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Personally I wouldn't watch speedway at a track If I had to peer through a mesh fence which is bound to degrade the viewing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said many times the undoubted cosmetic upgrade of the Stadium has done little or nothing for spectators Several years ago, long before Brandon closed, a similar fence was erected for safety reasons at stock car meetings. We were told it was mandatory. Generally speaking it wasn't too much of a problem when watching the speedway, except when the sun caught it at a certain angle. Then you couldn't see anything. Ironically, I think it would have been a lot better if they'd painted it black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 As a complete outsider, King's Lynn seem to be in complete melt down. Whatever our personal opinions of anyone associated with the club, it's sad to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
