Heavy rain this morning.. Track would be heavily watered anyway so not concerned. In fact it may well help track conditions. Forecast for rest of day is fine. 

Do you really follow speedway at all or are even interested in it? The so called Junior races are the future of British Speedway and some wonderful talent on show. I for one, are far more interested in watching these young lads aspire to the dizzy heights of representing their Premier League teams in the future. But hold on, you will not watch them now, but will in the future?

I just wanna see Bomber scraping the fence and testing the extra banking. Come on Bomber don’t let me down. 

“King’s Lynn boss Rob Lyon said: “I was very pleased to see the result and performance last Monday. It was a convincing win with everyone scoring well, and that’s what this team is built to do at home. “I’m confident we are more than capable of getting a result at Ipswich on the back of that performance” Well he isn’t at all confident of getting a result there is he let’s be honest. I get that it’s all PR and you can’t exactly go out and say you’re going to get beaten, but supporters ain’t daft so don’t treat them like it. Just say it’s gonna be really tough but you’ll give it your best shot and see what happens. That isn’t being negative, it’s realism and honesty.

Obviously as a Belle Vue fan I think it’s a bad thing. Just looking at the current lineup, why should we bother bringing on riders like Dan, Jaimon & Norick only to see them move on with no compensation. However my opinion changed when thinking of all the other riders we’ve brought on that weren’t assets like Brady, Max, Tom etc. We get the short to mid term benefit with these riders but then get to see them flourish and provide a better over all league. We can’t race ourselves after all.  Our business model is one I wholeheartedly agree with and would like to see adopted more widely. To see riders sign on 3,4.5 and 7.5 averages become GP stars we can all enjoy in our domestic league is fantastic and something we should all aspire to.  The current issue of lack of riders in our league hasn’t happened accidentally. Too many clubs just cherry pick riders without any active involvement on rider development and whilst this may pay dividends for the odd season the effect on the entire league can be seen to be negative. Once again the bigger picture is just lost on British speedway.
