King's Lynn versus Isle of Wight - 24-08-07

[admin]

Well, King's Lynn's long-suffering fans should be in for a real treat this Friday as the red-hot Islanders roll into Norfolk. Visiting teams are beaten from the start, intimidated into meek submission before the mighty Stars, is the cry. But not on Friday you suspect; not with Chris Holder to deal with.
This should be one of the meetings of the season, as Holder goes head to head with Topinka and Nermark, while Gathercole also seems to be making an impression as well. And then there's Stojanowski, who's always good for a few points and rattling the safety fence.
Speaking of Holder, I had the privilege - and it is a pure privilege - of watching him at Berwick on Saturday night and he's in flying form, even though he managed to miss out to Doolan in the final (silly billy picked the wrong gate). He scooted round the fearsome border circuit in a time of 65.2 seconds and might even have threatened Sean Wilson's track record in his first outing, but for making a complete mess of the 3rd-4th turns on the last lap.
I'm sure all out King's Lynn supporters will be heading to the Norfolk Arena for this one - meeting of the season and it should really be televised so the rest of us can see it.

Aye i think this will be the champions toughest test at the Norfolk Arena since the Messiah rolled into town and scored 19 points . IOW have been gaining momentum recently and will be Kings Lynn's biggest threat as they try to hold onto the KO Cup and their league title .

Yep, looking forward to this one now we are getting towards the business end of the season, lets hope everyone on both sides is fit and raring to go and the meeting lives up to expectations

I am considering the trip to this one. Want to see Holder again. I like Holder, I like his attitude, really doesn't give a shit of who he's riding against.

Only downer is the 1 hr and 45 minute drive on a road which is full of tractors.

What time is tapes-up?

Maybe he should begin to give a shit.

With all the wet weather recently you shouldn't encounter too many tractors. Tapes up is usually 7.45pm which means anything between then and 8pm.

Well 60/40 - I am going now.

My first meeting this year weird but I'm looking forward to it, just trying to persuade Star Lady that she really should come too

I've not given up hope yet

I'm not going and that's final. I've made the decision not to go to Lynn again this season in the hope that my enthusiasm may return next year. There again unless some of the rules and diabolical decisions alter I doubt enthusiasm will return.
Staying away hasn't worked overwhelmingly for you tho has it

Don't you start on me Madam or I'll just have to fetch ol Webbo who was on my train the other day

I have a selection of homemade cakes to bring as well you know Now don't be a hermit and come spend a pleasant evening with your favourite son and Grandchildren on Friday........... come on people help me get her ladyship along on Friday

I think the lady should trundle along and let Chris Holder inspire her - such a wondrous talent to behold.
