Foxhall will be packed Monday for your so called “dead rubber”. Get back to the “future of British Speedway” thread and continue spreading your doom and gloom on there Screamer. 

Of course it'll be packed, a bank holday meeting. Just a shame there's no return leg like the old days. 

Like I said though, it'll be embarrassing if you don't win by 20

This is a difficult mreting to predict really, when you consider how bad Lynn have been so far and that Doyle & Emil should go through the card without breaking sweat then Ipswich should win comfortably. However the fact that Riss is still absent, the track will be different and that Lynn are likely to have at least three track specialists in their side means you could argue that it'll be quite close. I'm probably more fearful of Thursday night than Monday!

Kerr being out is a blow but Cook would be a good alternative. Both better than Pickering at the Foxhole.

I have to agree with you. Lynn should be treated with respect as they are capable of winning at foxhall.  If we think we only have to turn up to win then we could be in trouble.  
like baggy I’m much more confident of winning at compost corner.

Get Nicholls in for Pickering.Get his 7 rides out the way by ht 12,get him in his van by 3.45pm off to Wolverhampton no doubt he will be guesting there,3hrs later arrive at Wolverhampton 75 minutes before start time.Job done and he will sleep like a baby that night

How do you figure that? Lynn have a team of riders that all have gone well at Foxhall in the past, especially when it’s slick which it likely will be slicker than normal being a day meeting. If Klindt KK turn up and gate it’ll be close

Well I think you’re way off with that. We await confirmation of Cook at reserve but if it is him, he’ll be good for double figures down there. Nobody gets beat by 20 with a reserve scoring double figures. As Buttons rightly says, a dry slick afternoon track will suit trappers down to a T, and nobody fits that description better than Klindt and KK!

Gating seems to be a bit of a weakness of Emil’s, it’s inconsistent at best. Once he gets going he’s clearly faster than everyone else, but has struggled at times to get past people at Foxhall and has had more success doing that away so far.

When did KK last ride at Foxhall?Klindt 5 last season.Kerr won't be there.That leaves Jorgensen,Toft and Jakobsen in the main body of the team,that doesn't fill many Stars fans with too much hope i wouldn't have thought,not the way they have gone so far this season anyway.

Probably in 2010?

So pretty good 13 years ago then.The opposition wasn't exactly great neither,Schlein at 1,even Barker getting paid 14

Yeah but not having much hope and suggesting it’s embarrassing if we don’t win by 55-35 or more is pretty brazen imo.
 

Daytime slicker track reduces home advantage a lot

Did KK and bomber win the pairs at Foxhall that season as well? If memory serves correct, long time ago so maybe making stuff up haha

I don't have much hope,but there is always a small chance if you have a lot of lady luck go your way.Put yourself in a Lynn fans shoes though after seeing them get humiliated 3 times,and just getting by a Wolves team at home i think you would feel the same.Glad i am at work until about 3pm.If it was a 7.30pm start i would have to have made a big decision myself.Plus they don't even know who is going to be guesting yet.

I'm feeling more confident now having just seen Alex Brady in the crowd at the GP.He's obviously gone to Sign Zmarzlik at no1 and Lambert to return at reserve just in time for Monday

Lambert surely qualifies as a 'Rising Star'.

Jakobsen was pretty impressive on his last visit,,, TJ can also be good or poor
