Watching team members and managers all getting on together during a meeting wont ever engender those rivalries.. I do understand though that for riders it might be a tad confusing at any given moment who is your team mate and who is your rival given it changes so often.. As an example. Splitting them in the pits would have many wondering "can I stand and speak with Bomber tonight or not, I couldn't last night, but could the night before, and I am pretty sure I can tomorrow?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and avoid alysham road due to roadworks, Holt road better option Just an hour for us! Roads back to Fakenham a doddle once we got off the estate. Great evening, preferable to a hiding on telly anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Just watched the meeting after not knowing the result & but there will be the usuals that find excuses for King's Lynn & it's management team. The club has absolutely nothing about it & how embarrassing to watch a team manager & Pickering having a laugh with opposition when being absolutely battered. The impression of racing was pretty good for TV but only if a Stars rider gated. The wasn't much fight to protect position except for Pickering. There's absolutely no chance Pickering sticks with King's Lynn in 2023. King's Lynn are a budget club & it shows, with the promotion taking from the punters & giving nothing back, not even a little bit of hope. It is a dead club walking right now.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Considering the score line it was pretty decent viewing, racing was good and fair play to bv for giving away some free tickets to booster the crowd, I saw a post last week from someone saying the riders don’t acknowledge the fans after a race , that criticism was clearly took on board by the promotion and was visible to see last night, Eurosport camera work is continuing to be a mystery, it’s like they have never filmed speedway before, not sure who’s error but it was clearly TJ in heat 14 not Jason Edwards, they had different colour Kevlars and different number on, Dan Bewley came across well as a co-commentator, something I have noticed at tv meetings is the noise of the bikes and the crowd and general noise is turned down and it creates the illusion of no atmosphere, it’s hard to create an atmosphere but there must be a way of taping into the live experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wessex Wanderer Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Good post Dean. I have watched a lot of telly Speedway this season and I reckon this meeting was the most enjoyable of the lot. But then I am a fan of Speedway RACING and we usually get that in abundance at Belle Vue. The moans about “we need a couple more riders” etc I find very boring. They should try living without their team due to closure. It is 100 times worse. In these days any fans whose track is still open should count themselves very lucky and stop bellyaching. great meeting, more of the same please. oh yes, one more plus - the complete absence of that bloody helmet cam which is and always has been a real pain in the ass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTheAce Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Special mention to Tom brennan 1st rising star to make the 1-5 1st rising star to get a heat 15 and if it wasn’t for a puncture on last lap probably would have won heat 15 just take a bow Tommy boy. A proper adopted ace that kid 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you keep for next season There might be a few new riders around if Polish rules are relaxed but not that many so can't see wholesale changes. Kerr and TJ need moving on, would keep Pickering, Thomas, Lawson and Iversen if he wants to ride here and is allowed. Jury out on Worrall, not sure he's done enough really; Edwards as number 8. I think things would be quite different with Iversen and Thomas but you're never going to win things with the inconsistent and to be honest frustrating three named above.

OveFundinFan Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 It was a good meeting. I was impressed with Tom Brennan. He is improving nicely. Enjoy his presence whilst you can, he will be riding regular Poland within 3 year. I was also impressed with Josh Pickering. He rode really well.

But we had the real pleasure of Tom as our guest at a recent meeting of the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club. He voiced a strong allegiance to British Speedway despite the obvious lure of "big bucks" in Poland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvinht Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Didn't really see the point of putting TJ in heat 14, Jason deserved his 4 ride based on 2 points in his previous ride and looking competitive. Match was Well truly lost by then. If you were going to bother with change I'd have stuck him in instead of Lewi. Decent racing as always at Belle Vue, shame about the sh*t result. Lynn boys seem to be overriding. You need to be smooth at BV and build your speed, not fighting the bike all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
