First trip to Workington’s new home, great venue, really impressed its definitely got room for growth.  As for today’s racing it was really hampered by an ultra slick powdery surface which the water just couldn’t adhere to and soak in so was simply back to being dry and dusty in minutes.  The inside line was the place to be for the vast majority of races.  Impressive performances from Fraser Bowes and Anti Voulas, with good back up from Jye Etheridge and Jacob Hook. As for Glasgow the just couldn’t get out of the gate, Kyle Howarth was always there or thereabouts in his 5 races resulting in winning ht15 and spoiling the two home riders maximum hopes. It'll have been said before but sure this venue would benefit from floodlights and have evening meetings under lights where the moisture will start coming up naturally rather than battling with the heat and wind during  the afternoon meetings, but it’s a track I’ll come back to again 

If you could spare some time to help out and bring a few buckets up from the beach that would be beneficial. Maybe bring a few extras for the seating as they might need a wash too.

He was never going to make it.

How many points have we lost due to lack of support from the bottom 3. We should have been nailed on for a playoff place instead a bit like my school reports could do better. Get the top 4 signed up for 2026 ASAP. 

Lynn to win by 20, Tungate to drop his mechanic live on Eurosport.

I think Nicolai is deserving of a testimonial for his commitment to this country.  Albeit, he's not served 10 years at a single club, he has given 17 years to this country.  Also, his commitment to Kings Lynn, as it probably is for any club he rides for, is deserving.  He has earned the Captains armband, for his presence both when things are going well, but also he's not afraid to front up when the team, or even himself, have had a bad night. For 2026, would I take him back?  Yes i would.  Those awful Witches look like they will be in or around winning the title, and these are the starting and current rolling averages. Jason Doyle 9.36  8.42 Emil Sajfutdinow 9.12  8.38  Tom Brennan 6.52  7.09  Danny King 6.14  6.64 Adam Ellis 5.47  5.88  Dan Thompson 3.11  5.42 For Nicolai to be effective, he needs to have a top 2 above him, dare I say a Lambert and Kvech, a couple of riders to take the pressure off him.  He can then Captain and ride with freedom, and I can still honestly see him putting something on his current 6.42. We need 3/4 riders who will improve from 2025 to 2026, and a number 1, whoever that may be.  A strong number 6 has worked to an extent this season, and maybe a fit Ben Cook would still see us challenging for a PO spot, but I don't think we are that far away.
