Does Lawson ever show up for press and practices. 
 

always annoys me that he never does 

Very few. He can’t be bothered with them usually and he makes no secret of that. A few clubs he’s ridden for though have insisted he turns up or else. Ipswich was one of them.

Don’t think I’ve ever known a press and practice with two missing riders before. Reading Racers in the 80s often had 6 and would choose the number 7 at press and practice depending on who impressed most on the day. 
out of the 5 who were present there seemed to be 3 different variations of race suit    Boughens was a lot darker blue than the rest and Harris and cooks suit used different blues compared to klint and iversen. 
Phil Morris is trying to get the sport to look and be more professional.  He must be in despair.

There is absolutely no excuse for that lack of professionalism. Others manage it, so why can’t Lynn? The whole idea of press day in particular is to get the team photos done and promote the bloody sport! Can’t do that if riders don’t bother turning up 🙄

Pathetic.

I heard that the Lynn race suits are slightly different colour because they are made by 2 different brands, due to riders personal contracts with those brands 👍🏻 so that’s why the blues aren’t identical… Klindt and NKI use the same brand (hense why theirs are the same) and the other 5 use a second different brand

I know at Ipswich there are 4 different manufacturers but obviously black is the same everywhere.  
I believe colours and shades have different codes which are internationally recognised nowadays

Yeah that’s the thing, black is black… the 2 companies that Lynn use (because of riders contacts) don’t have exactly the same blues

Unless the blue is copyrighted to one of the companies there is no excuse. Every colour & shad has a code so you can have identical colour matching. Possibly costs a little more but worth it for the overall look.

Absolutely correct. There is no excuse at all to not be able to get shades of colours resembling even close to the same as the next.

To be fair you would not expect anything else from amateur Allitt and calamitous Chapman.

I don't know why they all wouldn't do that? So what if he doesn't like doing them, it's his job.

my theory with richard over the years is that he wouldnt get paid for a p&p and would lose a days work (believe hes a plasterer)

not saying its right/acceptable at all as they should all be there

as ive said the rumour was that he and jan were both in poland which begs the question why p&p was friday 

not ideal but at least they were at oxford yesterday which is far more important and wasnt the case last year (not just lynn either)
