    King's Lynn v Peterborough 30/05/22

    2 miles from the track. No wet stuff so far, lots of blue sky, some fluffy white clouds and the occasional black one. Gentle breeze.

    Wolves v Lynn 2/5

    I gave up at heat 7 so opinion based up to that. Kiri did a good job. Kelvin excellent for the most part, cannot be easy when apart from the obvious loss of NP he is having to adapt to a new co commentator. Jason was excellent, articulate and knowledgeable. Ermobollox....dump him, superfluous when Brando is in the pits (and when he isn’t) Rules explanation, understandably basic but misleading I.e. riders will wear team colours....er not all of them (race jackets don’t count). Graphics too small for my elderly eyes. All in all coverage was poor compared to the GPs. Wont comment on the racing as it was almost non existent. Alex Brady, only saw one interview but he came across as articulate which makes a pleasant change to some TMs. Will it tempt me back to watching at a track, NO and more of the same won’t tempt me to watch on TV Other opinions are available.

    Wolves v Lynn 2/5

    I’ve seen 4 heats but not seen a single sign of racing
  7. Thank goodness for that.
  8. Agree with all of that except the monotone Chris Louis. I’m actually enjoying his comments made with practical knowledge of what it takes to ride a bike without any over the top shouting at mediocre moves. I find Scott far more monotone but each to their own.

    Birmingham v Berwick

    Add to that the cost of a second paramedic/doctor as there’s no point having an ambulance without.

    Kings Lynn 2022

    Many a club had proper teams but sadly no longer have a stadium to race in. Whatever the rights and wrongs down the years, King’s Lynn are still racing. I wonder how many fans would rather say that than yeah we won x amounts of trophies but don’t have a team to support anymore.
  12. Has the commentary team been announced? sorry if it’s been asked before but I can’t plough thro the whole thread.
  13. Should any of them actually do that it’s a different kettle of halibut, Up to now I haven’t seen or heard anything that suggests any have.
  14. If indeed Emil and Artem are against the Russian acts, it makes no difference. They are Russian by an act of birth and therefore had no choice as to their nationality. Yes it's hard on them but the citizens of Ukraine had no choice in where they were born either and it's even bloody harder on them. Being banned from sport of a short while pales into insignificance compared to losing your life or your family.
  15. That’s not a choice open to many Ukrainians
  16. I assume Sayfutinov and Laguna hold dual citizenship so technically are still Russian, if only 50%.
  17. FFS someone throw a bucket of water over Pearson and calm him down.
  18. I must have imagined it then. But hey Pearson & Tatum noticed too
  19. There is a time and place to say it, then wasn’t it IMHO. we will have to agree to disagree.
  20. Poor man management in my opinion to imply Bewley isn’t up to itjust before he makes his debut. Still Bewley answered any questions on the track
  21. Have just heard the interview from Brando saying Woffinden is irreplaceable and Stead agreeing , I’m really hoping Dan Bewley goes out and is unbeaten and makes them eat their words. after heat 3, Bewley did alright, he beat a Pole
  22. Regarding the track, how many times have we heard various commentators and pundits say “the track will come good” or “the track will come to the riders”? The racing then becomes decent about heat 10-12 which is far too late. Today they had the equivalent of 14 heats before the meeting due to practice and then a short track prep. You can’t have it both ways, it’s either a virgin track or a “came to the riders” track. Just my opinion but as someone who no longer attends in person I thought it was a decent meeting on a reasonable track.
  23. Point of order Lambert was not excluded for missing the 2 minutes. Its ONE minute in a rerun. so sorry mate you are wrong
  24. I’m still perplexed why Team GB have two team managers?
  25. So GB have TWO team managers and neither of them could make sure their riders got to the tapes on time!
