    Really looking forward to this meeting shame that 3 of the 4 reserves are missing through other engagements. R/R for Berwick going to an interesting one as to who takes Claus last ride as we don't have Richard Hall to rely on leaving Garcia,Edberg or Carr to fill it.

    Probably depends on how the meeting is going. If your leading comfortably they might just give Garcia an extra ride to learn the track.

     

    If its tight then whoever is going best on the night will be in, id probably be expecting it to be Edberg.

    I actually think with decent machinery, he could become more than a "decent reserve", he has something about him, he just needs the right help and guidance, Something he wouldn't/did'nt get at Redcar.

    You may be right, the track might suit him better once he's dialled in and if he's scoring good points at home, it could give him confidence to score points away as well.

     

    Will make a note to watch his progress from now until the end of the season.

    Just been looking at the team line up for this one the Lions have again to do without the services of Master, riding in the PL.

    .

    Sam isn't riding PL, he travelling to Italy (I think it was Italy) for his GP challenge semi final.

    We have Nick Morris guesting for him.

     

    Not that it makes a difference, but just confirming that just incase it sparks a needless EL vs PL debate.

    In the Speedway Star today that Richie Hawkins has been released by Ipswich. Not suggesting him as a replacement for Ben Barker, but he's an ex-Berwick rider and was impressive when Ipswich were up here in the Cup. A decent rider to have lower down the team?

    Only rider that would be worth replacing due to RH's average (which if i remember correctly has dropped below 4.00 from next week) would be Edberg, so I don't think that will happen.

    I actually think, with decent machinery under him, RK could be a fairly decent reserve.

     

    Also worth remembering he was seen as the senior reserve at Redcar, but won't be at P'Boro, so there is less pressure on him to perform.

     

    I'm disappointed its lost another British youngster a place, but maybe what OG needs is a confidence boosting spell back in the NL and start afresh next season in the PL, a year more mature and experienced. Will be interesting to see how RK settles in at the EOES.

    Morris and Pijper don't really weaken us IMO, so should still win comfortably enough.

     

    Hopefully the Fish rolls back the years to mark the significance of the night and puts in a good performance, looking forward to see how Holder goes around Armadale. Hope for a good meeting most of all after last weeks "meeting"!

     

    Il go for for a 56-36 win, and hopefully both our lads do the business in the GP qualifiers!

    Morley and Graversen were NOT in several I was referring to - can't commemt on effort but from updates and results Morley totally exceeded what was expected/required from him!!

    Apologies I didn't read your first properly and guessed you meant everyone but Worrall.

     

    Agreed Graversen also gave 100% for very little, scored solidly apart from his heat 15 appearance.

    Public thank you to Steve Worrall for turning up and giving Edinburgh fans some value for their admission fee, Seems several Bears couldn't be arsed tonight!!!

    Have to agree, although I was fairly impressed with the visible effort that Ben Morley put in to not really get much out of his heats.

     

    That's just my opinion of course, maybe bears fans see it differently.

    Why were the SKY graphics saying that the reserve spots were EL draft ones?

    The PL has already made it clear it wants to do its own thing. 2 of the riders (Bates and Sarjeant ) qualify but already have an established PL average so are invalid. The other 2 don't even qualify for the FTD.

     

    Always good to see PL action on SKY for a change and Glasgow cone out with plenty of credit.

    I think it was just a mistake and they forgot to change the graphics (though I wouldn't rule out laziness) more than anything else.

    I've just read that report. Such a bit bunch of bad losers never congratulate the other team. Loads of excuses when they get beat yet the other team is never allowed any! Still at least Cook flew round his old track.......oh wait a sec.

    Don't take one report and think we are all like that, yes if Kevin had been riding we may have snatched a point, but overall we threw away to many points in the second half of the meeting to even deserve a point, let alone a win.

     

    If were going to start to tarnish every fan with the same brush because of one person, does that mean every Ipswich fan has a weird obsession with Cookie? :)
