mattyc 0 Posted July 30, 2018 This was the first speedway meeting I've watched (on a naughty stream!) for about 2 years, having been thoroughly put off the sport a while ago by the antics of an egregious character who posts here and posted elsewhere. Nothing extraordinary, but I enjoyed it well enough, although quite a few heats seemed to be virtually done and dusted from the tapes. Lambert's performance speaks for itself and I thought that Somerset were a bit unfortunate not to get something from the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Connor 351 Posted July 30, 2018 I thought it was a good meeting as did the others i was around. Haven't seen it on telly yet but considering its the same old posters moaning ill take the "poor meeting" with a pinch of salt. Glad to send them home pointless!!!! Wednesday will be the true test away at poole. If we hit 40 then id take that as a good effort. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kickitov 104 Posted July 30, 2018 Good win tonight bearing in mind what our reserves scored. Now realising more than ever, how much we will miss Kerr. According to Buster, Garrity and Andersen will be back after Wednesday's meeting with Poole. Not sure if that's a good thing or not?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neutral entertainment, it was awful. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelvinht 351 Posted July 30, 2018 Clearly didn't come across well on TV. For those of us at the track it was a good match, close score, close racing, a few passes and the rebels went home pointless. Stars certainly need to look at reserve positions, not sure I'd persevere with Newman at reserve on Wednesday. Awful tonight. Managed to make Lambert (s) look good. Could do with MPT back at reserve, so if that means replacing garrity then so be it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Buster has a great opportunity for Kings Lynn to make a real fist of the play-offs. One signing could turn an ok season into a great one. Will he be able to get his hands deep enough into his pockets to make it happen.? Think history teaches us many things so I won’t hold my breath Edited July 31, 2018 by semion 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) When you consider how much work is involved when changing the fences from Speedway to Stock-Car, I imagine it would take some considerable time and effort. My issue here is that if they are prepared to go to that extent everytime, why not change the shale as well. We are all of the understanding that the shale used is crap, and the speedway suffers and does nothing in creating good racing. Forgetting Belle Vue, I believe the AFA is way better than anywhere else in the country , in staging the sport, but constantly being rubbished by the racing it dishes up, and that's a shame. No, last night wasn't anything special, it was the score that kept it interesting rather than the racing. For the first time for ages the meeting flowed quite quickly and easily finished by 9.30. Amazing what can be achieved when the cameras are there. It was nice to get the win but once again it showed how weak our reserves are. Robert gifted Simon with 3 out of his 4 points and that was the total are reserves managed to score all night. The Rebels reserves are worth a mention they were tremendous, out scoring some their more accomplished teammates, it shows there are some good riders out there if we look hard enough... Very impressed with young Jake Allen, yet another young talented rider... Edited July 31, 2018 by g13webb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the reserves are changed or improved ASAP. the forward thrust of the team recently will be lost. NKI may or may not recover his form / fitness but he has always been consistent in recent years and is not at the moment. Coupled with poor reserves that is a big hole in team's scoring power.
