Well done KK

[Mike0310]

Brilliant from kasprazak but still so infuriating because you wouldn’t be surprised in the next meeting if he scored 2 or 3.but fair play for tonight.

[castrolargh]

Kk's performance tonight was the perfect response to 2 dreadful meetings. That was the kk that Alex Brady hoped we would get,and tonight we did,just as well really as the rest of the team , barring Picko  to an extent , looked rusty . Wolves look handy this year, they demolished us at Monmore and ran us close at lynn.Gave belle vue a hiding then bv go and win at ippo, who won at Peterborough, who pushed Leicester at home . Let's hope we see more of this kk, we need to . One swallow doesn't make a summer though

It’s typical KK scoring tho. 2,0,15. You just never know what’s next!

At least I’m consistent, which is something KK will never be. ;-)

It's really interesting to read some of the comments on here, especially looking back over the past few days.

I was at Sheffield last Thursday and it was a fairly comfortable win for the Tigers and, yes, Kasprzak looked awful. But it's early season, things are just settling down and riders are getting back to fitness, getting used to new machinery and, in some cases, new tracks. The reaction to his first two meetings was typical of much of the society of today - an over reaction. Reading this forum sometimes is like listening to the stuff football fans come out with when they want a manager sacked after a couple of losses. It's a horrible culture.

Riders getting stick for being better at home than away is also becoming more common. I'm not sure how certain riders from the 70s and 80s would have stayed with clubs for as long as they did if internet forums existed back then. I remember one season at Sheffield in the 1970s when the Tigers had a 100% home record but failed to pick up a point away from home. Riders like Craig Pendlebury and Arnie Haley remained popular even though there was a big disparity between their home averages and their away averages because they were loyal servants to the club and put the effort in. Further back, Billy Bales had a great home average but struggled to score a point away from home for a few seasons. I think he would have been hounded out in today's need for instant success.

I was really pleased the Stars won last night and really pleased that KK got a maximum. I just hope the fans can show a bit of patience and a bit of tolerance, rather than all this bed wetting nonsense that gets posted in week 1 of the season.

Really enjoyed reading that, and completely agree with all you say. I was impressed to see that Sir Sidney liked it. Who the hell is he, and where has he suddenly popped up from, as I've never seen any of his posts on here????????????????????

Bloody hell Billy Bales remember asking him if he had any spare goggles and him giving me a pair .Arnie Haley Bob Paulson John Dews Charlie Monk Jim Airey god those we re the days 

[KLFAN]

I agree people are too quick to be judgemental on a rider. I know KK is not perfect but I feel he will average in excess of 7 and that may well be within the range of 0 to 15 but that may be more beneficial than somebody with a lesser range.

I take your point and sympathise with the sentiment. Unfortunately, KK has a track record (no pun intended) of being somewhat, dare I say, very inconsistent going back years. We used to say on arriving at a meeting, "Which KK has turned up tonight?". Personally he drove me mad,

Drives me up the wall.

Under 16’s are now free at the AFA, from Monday. Usual price was a fiver. Well done King’s Lynn.

Pickering takes an ambulance ride off the track, and withdraws from the meeting tonight with a shoulder injury. Hope it's nothing serious...

[Bagpuss]

Of course, just when he was about to line up at reserve on Monday

Get well soon JP.

[tellboy]

Lets hope Pickering has been withdrawn as a precaution and that he will be fit to take his place at reserve on Monday.

Can't see anyone to guest from the PL with only Ipswich not riding.

Craig Cook maybe?

Or maybe Nicholls,afterall he has only been guesting for Wolves

An Edinburgh article saying maybe 4-6 weeks for Josh and they just going to run with guests. Will Lynn sign a replacement?
