Many a club had proper teams but sadly no longer have a stadium to race in. Whatever the rights and wrongs down the years, King’s Lynn are still racing. I wonder how many fans would rather say that than yeah we won x amounts of trophies but don’t have a team to support anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose the only bad luck in 2000 was to come up against the best team Eastbourne had ever produced at any time in their history and just edged it, but it was close and both were way ahead of anyone else that season. Although KL had Crump and Adams topping the averages, Eastbourne had 5 riders average between 7 and 9.6, and all British in a proper Elite league.....

You can’t cancel a 28 day injury replacement People always overlook this part of the rule. Surely we want PK to ride as much as possible elsewhere before NKI leaves.

But stand by my fears for the whole season. If he does a full season and we stay away from to many injuries, i think we can make the top 4. I know theres only 6 in it but after last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume "not their race night", with it being a Friday? Only six clubs would be easily out voted too if they wanted to run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In King's Lynn I found such a part: What is "Premiership: 2001" in there? At that time there was no Premiership. King's Lynn was riding in Elite League and didn't win it. I didn't find any competition they won that year. Did they win the league cup or whatever it was back then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
