Birmingham because they had a completely new team in 2024 & 2025 and there's so few meetings these days can you really say that they're is a home track advantage? There will be for your stalwarts Bewley, Kurtz, Holders etc.

Big crowd tonight for Plymouth, which is good to see. A damp night but track looks ok. Hope they don’t hang about and need to get on with it.

Think it was Rob Lyon wasn’t it Bagpuss? Could have been one of the others I’m not sure

You'll have to remind me of the context of that comment, although I'm pretty sure I didn't say it 😁

I don't think he 'slagged' anyone, was a light hearted dig. Interesting though that he talked about a 'numbers game' (which is what I originally thought once Fricke was in the frame) whereas Lynn say he never wanted to be back. Both could of course be true at various points in the winter, as we know riders set out for the best deal they can get and play clubs off against eachother, and clubs can change their minds on their 1-7 if riders become available. Adds a little spice to the East Anglian derbies if nothing else.
