On Saturday radio Norfolk played an interview with robin brundle and he said there will be a new annoucement/initiative given every Friday until the end of march.

I find it very funny how people say that holder and batchelor were not team men? All 7 of the squad stuck together last season and that's why the big fall out happened. Clubmen they are not but team men then I can't see why you wouldn't want them in your 1-7. All 7 of them were very close knit. Unfortunately it was to each other and not the club. If things had gone other way and meeting abandoned after 8 heats I bet we would have carried on and easily made the play offs.

I'm going to throw a wild idea out there and question is the delay in announcing information something to do with the tv deal expiring? I have enquired before about streaming meetings and was told this is not possible due to existing tv contract. With this contract due to expire, could we be leading the way with streaming some meetings for fans at a certain cost?

Doyle very nearly signed for us before he did Swindon a couple of years ago. He lives in Norwich so I wouldn't rule that one out straight away. If averages I have seen are correct then 1) Doyle 9.69 2) Jorgensen 5.93 3) 4)Kerr 5.06 5) lambert 7.38 6) TJH 4.64 7) Would give you 9.8 to play with for last 2 riders

Sorry duplicated post

From what was said is that the track was very soft underneath and was tearing up. Riders were struggling to turn the bike and we see this quite a lot throughout. I believe it caused more issues to those who were stuck behind other riders. From memory Shane's holder rose s lambert batch Jorgensen all had issues in different heats. I have to admit I didn't take much notice of which Poole riders struggled but there were definitely some. They tried to sort the track by grading and I would assume it came to a climax at heat 9 when they said it's just too bad. Unfortunately in speedWay you are always going to get 1'team that wants to carry on and 1 that doesn't. Track did look a lot better after the extra material was laid down however there could be more issues than just the track which led to the events of tonight. Poole fans enjoy your 4 points tonight and you have every right to do so but gloating at the events of tonight is uncalled for. It's not just a shame for kings Lynn speedWay it's a massive blow to the whole U.K. SpeedWay scene.

Not a good night all round but let's get some truth amongst the tulip that is being spoken on here. Track was not good and apparently soft and made it very hard to ride. Yes Poole riders were happy to ride as they were winning and I can't blame them. Kings Lynn riders 1-7 refused to race after heat 8. Not just batch and holder. Rose at the end was speaking and said he couldn't turn the bike and that's what they all struggled with. Dale was taken ill and I hope he has a speedy recovery and it was nothing to do with events for tonight. Batch looked very good in heat 1 but did fall heavily and the wrist injury may have been a convenient reason to disappear. Holder tried in heat 11 but walked straight off after and into changing rooms. Probably had enough by this point and didn't want to risk nothing else. Lambert did not try and punch someone. He went into the crowd to confront someone who was abusing them in the pits. Nothing wrong in sticking up for yourself and your team. Jorgensen very impressive. Kai looked good too and was prepared to give it a go. Before all the keyboard warriors start maybe wait for the riders opinion before slating any of them. None of us would work in dangerous conditions or conditions that we wasn't comfortable in so why do we expext the riders too.

For those who use periscope it is very interesting to hear tais view on some of it. Listen 33 minutes in to hear some views from Saturday. Also quite plain talking about British speedway in general. Don't know how to post a link to periscope but those with the app will be able to listen to it.

Doesn't surprise me to see that wilko wants to race. Can really see him being a fans favourite this season. Good work on the quick update as well.

Kenneth is so frustrating to watch. When someone gets near he goes to pot. During Rory's testimonial he done the quickest lap time of all them riders so it proves he has the speed. Unfortunately he just doesn't have the attitude to match it and people want to see riders fighting for every point so you can understand why people don't want him in the side.

Oh dear. Just attack posts for mistakes rather than focus what the post was supposed to be about. Never mind. Happy Christmas and new year.

Main reserve position would be the non protected reserve. As I understand only 1 reserve (number 6) can go into the top 5. If I have that wrong then I apologise.

I think the only hope we have is maybe Dudek as I am sure we nearly had him 18 months ago to cover someones injury but something didnt quite work out. In terms of reserve I hope its one of Blackbird Wilkinson or Roynon. I dont think Lambert is quite up to a main reserve position. Surprised no one has mentioned about the new referee/press box that has gone up recently at the arena. Looks good and hopefully makes things more comfortable in there for all concerned.

At the young stars meeting last week there was schlein lambert and Kerr. That surely can't have been a coincidence, especially with no track work being done throughout the meeting. This would buster to have his meetings with the riders hopefully sorting out next year. I personally would love to have NKI and lambert back. If schlein is fully fit then I think he has to go in the team. Then you have to consider bjerre as he is on a very low average but that is a big risk. For the others I think Kerr would go in if he is fit but again could be a risk after such a big accident. Porsing has to be replaced in my view. Hasn't been good enough last 2 seasons and I think he's run out of time and needs to get a premier league place. It's a shame as he seems such a nice guy but you cannot carry people.

As someone said earlier the riders enjoy it there as they know they will get a better surface there than anywhere else. Does that mean it's going to be the best race track...no it doesn't. A good race track requires more than just a steady surface, it requires a good shape and flow to the track. Just look at Leicester, wonderful little stadium, well prepared track but the shape of it causes all sorts of problems which stops overtaking which means usually once you get to bend 3 lap 1 you can fill your scorecard in. Look at Wimborne road, a few potholes causes riders to become off balance which then then allows riders to come through and get a closer race. From a fans point of view it may be great to see lots of this to see an overtake but do the riders enjoy it, I hardly think so. Riders perception is wonderful, look at last night, jonsson said after heat 1 it's s lot more grippier than I thought it would be, Niels came out a few heats later saying in heat 1 it was slicker than he thought so struggled. So even they find it hard to judge a track and have different opinions. A meeting like last night doesn't help fans view of a track because it was so one sided, you were almost begging lambert or Niels to not gate to see some competitive racing. Unfortunately it didn't happen, not because the track was badly prepared, but purely down to one team not being at the races, this could be the reverse at lakeside on Friday. Will that make it a bad track, I doubt it. The best meetings to watch are the close scoring ones, there may not be much racing but a close score brings extra pressures and reliefs when you finally get that win or what could have been. To say the track is bad all the time now is a ridiculous statement it doesn't win awards for nothing and doesn't hold the World Cup meetings for no good reason either. Every track has bad days, even the show ground, remember how bad that track was when Kenneth broke h is leg it was awful. That doesn't mean it's a bad track it just had a tough night where t didn't go right. Every track has had good meetings and bad meetings where there's no overtaking, it's often because a team doesn't turn up.
