He seems to love the place going on Sheffield's visits in 2021...... Holder 1 2 3 3 =9 Ellis 2 3 f =5 Josh 2 3 3 2 2 = 12. chosen for HT 15 and finished 2nd to Lawson. ................... Holder 3 3 3 3 0 = 12 Ellis 3 3 2 f = 8 Josh 3 3 2 2 3 =13 Won HT 15... Holder was last. I know its only 2 meetings. Put it with Lawsons HT 15 finishes at home of 2+1, 0, 3, 2, 1+1, 3, 3, 2. I think the Stars well do ok at the AFA myself in those heats. Guess my glass is half full, and yours ?? Remarkably, the Stars were the only Prem team in 2021 NOT to concede a heat advantage in Heat 15! They scored 2x 5-1, 3x 4-2 and 5x 3-3 results for an overall aggregate of 37-23 - the second best heat 15 record in the Prem (Sheffield 38-22, who scored 5x 5-1, but they conceded a 2-4 and a 1-5). Heat 13 was also positive for KL: 2x 5-1, 5x 3-3 and 3x 2-4 for a 31-29 overall score. It seems that getting off to poor starts was the Stars' big problem at home.

I started looking at Heats 13 & 15 after wondering whether any riders or teams dominated. Overall, it's much of a muchness, reflecting that most of the "top" riders beat each other. The biggest surprises were KL being much better than expected, and Wolves - despite their supposed home advantage - being much worse than you would think.

Wolves had strength in depth, rather than a string top 2, so it's understandable they didn't dominate heat 13/15s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromBendThree Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 From the club Twitter: King’s Lynn skipper Josh Pickering is ready to book his flight back from Australia to the UK for the new season. That really is wringing every last ounce out of a story. He's ready to book. Do people expect in February that it has never crossed the rider's mind to book a flight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying to an interesting spin on a none story - a Tweet like that is really desperation to try keep speedway in peoples minds .

Afraid so. That doesn't show very good PR skills, does it. Sometimes you have throw something up into the air knowing a few days later that you will swipe it down again but it gets people talking.

Bagpuss Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 There seems to be a conscious effort to engage with supporters through social media much more this year, can't be a bad thing. I've read the story and I can't say I found it particularly offensive or desperate, perhaps it could have had a better title but its a few words from a new signing in February, not the worst idea anyone has had. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie456 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 A quick question for Lynn fans could you tell me if there's a restaurant at the stadium serving meals on race nights.A friend of mine is going this season and asked me and too be honest I'm not sure although I've been there many times.Thanking you for any help.

There's only a small cafe really where you can sit down.Just the usual stuff from there i think like chips,burgers,drinks etc.It's definitely not what you would call a restaurant and you cant watch the speedway from there.

I really wanted to try the burger but that was away doubling up somewhere, the hot dog wasn't available so fried chicken was guesting!
