Poor racing so far gate and go pleased im watching via the stream - as for sun delays never happened in Terry Betts day and the track hasn’t moved and nor has the sun at this time of year 

I can't really remember,but weren't there bigger buildings once upon a time behind bend 1/2?Genuine question because my memory isn't the best.

Holder wheelies over the line to celebrate losing :rofl:

I think he was celebrating not getting clobbered by Doyle,as Holder pulled a locker like he does right in front him.Any lesser rider behind him and he wouldn't have even made it to the line.

Problem with Holder he thinks he is some kind of superstar now he's in the Gp's.Comes across very arrogant.

Well, I enjoyed the meeting. It was a lot of gate and go but the racing improved towards the end.

That's the third meeting I've been to this season, and the third one with a long delay! Hoping for better luck at Kent on Sunday.

We left Wroxham at 17.45 and arrived just after 19.00 but the journey back was interesting as the A47 was closed so we ended up going everywhere somewhere and via Swaffham.

As a one off visit I couldn't really fault it.

What a terrible race track King's Lynn has become these days

First two meetings this season were on much slicker tracks and guess what.....the racing was really good. That was April though, come the warmer weather they load the track with our horrible clay/shale and water it well to keep the dust down and riders can't get near each other. Like last night.

Doesn't make you want to spend £20 to get in next time really.

It was poor early on,but the second half of the meeting it improved.The races between Sheffield and Lynn were very good races.Don't know whether they got it all on camera.

Yes, I'd say there were 3 genuinely good Speedway races... question is, is that enough for your £20 these days? especially when you factor in a 20-30 minute delay for the sunshine.

I watched via the live stream and have to say the racing was awful in the early heats it did improve towards the end of the meeting - we paid £42 for the last 5 pairs meetings on the live stream . Would be interesting to no how many subscribers there was last night - £20 last night admission  or £42 for 5 meetings that seems better value.

A47 can be a pain after 8pm. You land on road closures with no real prior warning if you aren't a regular user. Sounds like you found your way back to Swaffham like I did. G0d knows where I was! Suspect official diversion was nearly back to downham market then over to A11 - that's miles extra

What i don't really understand in speedway is,if you get some really good races,why aren't the other races the same?Same track,different outcomes.King's Lynn rode Sheffield in ht12 which was a very good race,next race it was Sheffield v Belle Vue which you would think would be good with Zagar and Fricke in the mix but it was the opposite.Same track/conditions totally different outcome,why?Can't particularly blame the track as proved in the race before.

The A47 is a pain in the a?$e at the moment,roadworks all over the place on it.Had to go through Lynn last night to get home to Wisbech.

For me... the track needs to be "right" from heat 1... what's the use in waiting for the track "coming to the riders" in heat 12, there's only a handful of races left and riders that had a difficult night up to that point have probably lost interest by then.

The track needs to be like it was in heat 12 from heat 1 and kept in a similar state to that all night
