Cook wins the meeting with 14

I cannot see why Dan should have let Rob Lambert win. Firstly, it is an individual competition when really your country counts for very little. Secondly, there is big competition now between the two youngsters as to who will get in the GB team and who will prove to be the better of the two on the world stage in the future, so why shouldn't Dan show he can beat Rob - it will do him no harm at all when it comes to future selections. Thirdly, as others have said, it would be cheating and we would roundly condemn it if riders from other countries did it, thereby knocking out one of our riders.

When you look at the Polish meetings on Sunday afternoons you understand the differences between their sharp presentation and that of ours . All their meetings are run like clock work. You get the first four races run to a tight schedule, While one race is being run the next is being got ready. The 2mins means 2 mins the riders don't do much gardening , like they do in the UK. After 4 races there is a mini interval where the track is graded and punters go to the stalls for food or drinks. Heat 5 and the cycle is repeated . Crisp presentation that keeps everybody happy. Why do we fine that so hard to do ????

Actually mate I think there are a lot of people that are loving speedway at lynn at the moment. I talk to a few people on the stands. There are very few negative oppinions. Problem is people on forums like a moan. The only problem the other night was the excessive grading but you definitely can't moan about racing or the team! I hope other fans don't think lynn is a bad place to be because of the comments of a few depressants. Many of whom don't even go often or if at all. Your oppinion is only worth 1. Much like mine and the other people who go. The only difference is you guys use the forum daily or hourly even. It taints the club and the sport in general! That's just 1 oppinion though. My 1, your 1 would disagree and I guess it's a free world. But I hope people who read know you are in the minority.

Awfully small crowd at the Abbey this evening. With 2 home meetings next week and the price of £17, people will pick their meetings. ITS A £10 SPORT!!!!

Ah, love Talking Heads ..... not quite sure you’ve nailed the lyrics though!

He rides some Motto Cross in Austria, so should be alright at Rough Park

You might want to ask yourself why only Wolves had a Monday race night when teams we free to choose. You might want to ask yourself why the entertainment industry regards Monday as the worst night of the week to get people to attend. You might want to ask yourself why crowds dropped at the dog track when we had to move from Friday to Monday. You might want to consider that attitudes to keeping children out late on school nights has changed since clubs like Wimbledon were operating. You might want to ask yourself why our previous promotion said there was no future for the Aces unless we could build a new stadium and change our race night to Friday You might want to ask yourself why crowds have dropped so significantly at the NSS this year when the only change is the race night. You might want to ask yourself if you want to put at risk the future of the NSS.

If i was to take a group of non-speedway people to speedway,i wouldn't even start to explain the rules etc,or these riders don't actually ride for them etc they don't need to know this especially for their first meeting.I would just let them see what speedway is about first and foremost and that's the actual racing.If they enjoy the racing that's half the battle done.And lets be honest Belle Vue is the place to take them to get good racing.

If it needs explaining, don’t. Just go along and enjoy the racing. Would you rather watch 15 heats of gate and go with two full teams or watch several top draw races where seven heats have guests in due to riders riding elsewhere? BTW when selling your house don’t spend all your time discussing its faults as you will drive the price down.

Nothing has changed apart from the advent of the Internet, when I was younger I stood with a great crowd and we had tons of banter and laughs, we never gave one iota of thought to the length of meetings, extra entertainment etc, we were there for a good night out Seems to me we all need to lighten up, laugh more, find some new friends and enjoy our nights

It's great that it works for you and some others but it hasn't worked for the missing thousands who have drifted away ( likely never to return ). Crisp presentation is certainly one of the factors that the disillusioned have reacted to. The job of the BSPA is to find out all of those reasons and work on the simplest and cheapest to fix and get on with those first. It is this that they have failed to do. And this laid back "it takes as long as it takes" approach certainly doesn't seem to appeal to new fans.

I seem to to recall Jack riding for us last season, not very well true but he was in the team.

Listened to WM for this match as away in Denia, Spain. Great win. This is what is needed to bring more fans back on board. roll on Sunday!

fine mate! then walk away! just don't bleat on about it and bringing down those that are left enjoying it! Find a hobby or something! the past is the past! unfortunately you can't turn the clocks back. Them days are gone. We should appreciate what we have while we still have it because the world has changed and will continue to change. live events are dying out. there used to be a great underground music scene in lynn and the surrounding areas. punk, metal, it was thriving. but time moved on and thats no longer the case. there is cheap fun to be had and its an expensive sport. bat and ball is cheap. moaning on a forum won't change anything

I`ve been called much worse, much worse.

Just what Craig needs what with a gp coming up this weekend. Hope he can carry the form forward.

Cook going well. Big heat 19 coming up

God I was in a good mood until I see some of the moaning on here! I recon it will be a very entertaining meeting. Close racing on a good track. why is it the fair weather fans have the loudest voices on these forums. With the most moanin posts!!! You clearly have nothing better to do so why not go tonight. If the crowd last Monday was anything to go by then I think the team you support could probably do with your help. But do me a favour. Don't talk to anybody. You will kill the buzz for everybody Go on Kings Lynn !!!! clap clap clap!!!

That's where you're wrong though - the Premiership is MORE important as it's the top division in this Country. You wouldn't anybody in their right mind say the Championship is more important than the Premiership in football!

Years ago the whole concept of going to speedway meeting was entirely different than it is today. Firstly there were far more in attendance that created a better atmosphere, The evening was usually 22 or more races. that was pushed through with little or no breaks. The riders were not in a hurry to leave and would often mingle with the fans in the bars. This created much more belonging that the fans felt they had. Yes, the internet has made a tremendous difference to everyone's life and has to take some of the blame for falling attendances. But it would be wrong to proportion all of the falling numbers to that alone. The promoters and the governing body have not helped the sport progress with their reluctance to put the sport first. They don't address the problems on a united front. Its as if everyclub has their own agenda. You say we all need to lighten up and laugh more, I agree, life has become far to serious these days. When I'm standing in the freezing cold, waiting for the racing to start, I can assure you I don't find anything to laugh at... Sweeping deficiencies under the carpet doesn't solve any problems, they need to be addressed, so more people will be able to laugh and enjoy their speedway night out.

Rosco said last Thursday the team will not be changed this season and i am 100 per cent behind him on that loyalty means a lot.Some of the names mentioned to come in if anything makes us look weaker.

Emil Grondal is riding for Rye House not Stefan Nielsen

Because one is a dedicated speedway rider and the other has yet to make his mind up.

Went to Mildy today. I know it’s Drew’s home track but he was on a different planet to Brennan today. After his good showing at Foxhall I was disappointed with Brennan. Failed to win a race. Kemp 20+1 max. The boy was different gravy.

Have you seen the new No Limits initiative Rory Schlein, Tai and others have put together?? I know a load of the potential talent talked about above have been on that programme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMl-i2otwvk good video this

and 15

it was a good meeting with passing and plenty of effort by all but 1 brough park is a technical track and its about attitude of mind any decent away rider will always score if he attacks the track those that arrive believing they cant ride the track .... don't ...... but perhaps they should watch how their teammates ride rather than just trundling around the track

Hopefully get to see Ht13 on the BSPA website.Sounded good from what Phil The Ace described on the updates.

You must have - you enjoyed it TWICE.

I enjoyed the Meeting last night. I thought the 'Diamonds did very well indeed. I just wish we could get 'Robbo' back. Another good Home Meeting from Lindgren. I also think Lambert did well for us.

you wouldn't of been congratulating if they had been in this seasons Poole team and you no it

Thanks. There are others who are also doing their bit too whether it be attending or volunteering. I do my best for the fans that want to go and the riders that wear the Bees racejacket, nothing else.

Maybe we're waiting for the new gsa's coming out and, we might get to find we have more points to play with.

I would have thought it would have been better to have Worrall guesting for King & R/R for Andersen then Bjerre, Worrall, Pieszczek & Newman could have had an extra ride. Wells was pretty poor last time he guested. Wolves have the in-form reserve in Morris & should win by about 4-6 points.

This is just typical of the complete twisting of quite a reasonable comment by people determined to defend the indefensible It was ranting roy who said there would be 'new faces' and since then we heard bugger all from the club again Did I say I wanted daily updates ??? Did I imply that ???? But you think its acceptable to say nowt .......... and that we should just accept it .............. frankly that's bollocks and its that type of attitude that is killing the sport ............ (David Howes analysis was spot on) All the club had to do was given an update - even if it was to say that we were are persuing opportunities but have been unable to agree terms (or whatever maybe the truth) .............. I personally do not think that is too much to ask ............ Im not demanding details ........ merely an update Anyway on a positive side ....... it was brilliant to see wethers score some points and look so determined ........... and overall great effort by the rest of the lads ................ for Berwick summers was superb as per at brough, howe and doolan tried. however they were always going to struggle with jay having a night to forget and danny just deciding he couldn't ride the track (pathetic really ... at least jay and Nathan gave it go - and look at Simon Lambert ... he wouldn't put Brough in his top 100 tracks but he tried his hardest)

Straightforward win for the Robins I fear

Excuses?

Ahh ... That makes a lot more sense. Not the 'wrong colour' really. Yes a silly mistake and almost a 'technicality' rather than being idiotic as it first seemed. But the FIM rules are crystal clear and I suppose to the continentals it probably looked downright weird as they use the plain yellow everywhere. Pity not a single person was able to give the lad the nod before it was too late. i thought green or white thing mentioned sounded stupid and couldn't be the reason.

Of course i don't know for certain what the thinking was in the Lambert camp, but throughout the years it has been the done thing (not cheating, but helping a fellow country man if yourself had no chance of qualifying) i.e Joe screen for Mark Loram John Davis for Michale Lee etc etc. So i go back to what i said earlier. If the Lambert camp had, had a quite word, then things might have turned out differently.

There was a letter in the Star a couple of weeks ago praising the Belle Vue and Eastbourne training schools of the 1960s and saying “a lot of world class riders came from them” but who were those riders? Collins and Morton from Belle Vue but who else? And who from Eastbourne? Not just heat leaders, mind, but world class riders? Nowadays, there are far more riders coming through from countries other than UK (or Australia and US) so the opposition is tougher. But I reckon we have a great group of riders coming through, like Bewley, Kemp, Jenkins, Bickley, Flint, Brennan, plus, of course Lambert and Ellis, so someone has to be doing something right whether that’s Neil Vatcher, Poultec or one of the other new initiatives that are cropping up

According to Roy Clarke last night he would be missing for 10 days.Mind ,he also asked Nathan Greaves if he would ride as a guest next Saturday if asked.He might be a wee bit lonely if he does come up seeing as there's no meeting.

Bellego finishes second in Italy to qualify for SGP Challenge. Well done David.

This. Well done to Bewley for recovering like that but by heck that was dumb!

It's business as usual at the Stadium of Candle Light tonight. We've reached heat 2 here at the Theatre of NIghtmares... 1st attempt and Lewis Whitmore falls ..... It's all 4 back for the re-run 2nd attempt Wiliam O'Keefe leads, but falls while leading (He's making a hablit of this) He's excluded. 3rd attempt Lewis Whitmore falls again... colliding with Alcock and Douglas 4th attempt. Whitmore wins. Has anyone ever won a race before when he's already fallen off in two previous attempts? Rumour has it that the Battle of the Somme was originally going to be staged at Stoke until Field Marshal Haig complained about the conditions and got the fixture transferred to France

I dont know WK a great question maybe i am wrong but Briggs was pretty professional really fit as well physically. stronger than most.Mauger was good really top class he took the sport forward but Briggs like you have said endless times was very unlucky and I believe he would and should of won his fifth title in 72.

oops even better...............so am i anti poole or thick.......................or correct? think i summed it up well pre season yet again miles out no team out there lol when Poole fans preach like this and believe me there are loads more......................it makes giving back all the more fun

one word...................Pathetic.
