Yes, we also had a huge stroke of luck when we got Alpen on a 4.5 average, swapped Doyle for Magic and picked up Kildemand in the reserve berth. Could it also be the manager knows what he is doing?

Ostergaard, Becker, Morley, Agertoft. You’ve ‘never even heard of one of them’? • Peterborough stalwart for many years • 2019 Wolverhampton rider • 2018 Lakeside rider (did we race then at all last year?) • Agertoft as a CL reserve I accept may be off your radar. Given the timing of the rider withdrawals, and the other fixtures last night - what would you suggest? And no, postponement wasn’t an option.....

Leads you to believe? Its a fact. And no, i am not a Poole supporter whatsoever . I just like to pass comment when people seem to slag off Poole for no reason , doesnt mean I support them. I dont think i could ever support a club that has Lisa Collette and Starman as fans to be honest .

Berwick deserved the point were close throughout and only really Charles Wright was the difference between the teams

Hume ,,Morley ,,,,Stoneman ,,,should all have been considered in front of a foreign rider of poor ability. What's the matter with these promoters nowdays

witches to win 49-41 nuts to get 20 points at reserve bomber 12 and fill in the rest how you wish nurse must be along with my meds next

What’s the odds on Garritty making Armadale tonight? Not many Van hire Companies in Uk

I wouldnt be surprised that despite riding in the challenge at least one of the sides (perhaps both) require a facility for their No1.....

That's going to be almost impossible for you to find anyone

NO, I think it’s Mike Bellerby and Trevor Geer. Please read my post again. Sorry to disappoint but there were no altercations on the centre green during the evening, - please stop posting incorrect information. Why do you have difficulty in accepting what The Doctor and I have to say, we were both there.

Thomsen back odviously he hasn't shown he is good anough yet, also the Dane is aloud to have a stint at reserve.What real shabby treatment Nathan Stoneman and Danyon Hume have been dealt this season really poor we should be helping our lads not hindering them.

Thoroughly deserved point for Berwick - Summers was excellent alongside Covatti but solid points throughout the team. Slightly disappointing performance from the Bears but a good hard fought win. Think the track caught us out a bit at the start of the meeting and not a huge amount of passing. Wright was superb and probably the difference between the sides, a couple of great tussles with Summers. Riss started well and important score again from Andersen.

Oh dodgy weather and a lady referee what could go wrong !!

Good point away to a team which look like they are destined for the playoffs. A win tomorrow night will cap a good week for Berwick.

I know he wasn't your cup of tea, but I always admired his natural ability. To have him at the bees was the icing on the cake for me. He pulled the team together IMO.

For many who have started watching the sport over the past decade, Rider Replacement could be their favourite....

KP & EK at reserve for Ippo could make this interesting, I do expect us to win but may not be a clear cut as some assume!!!

I amaze myself sometimes, I can't remember what I did 10 minutes ago, but 30 years ago is clear in my mind.

Oh yes Roman! I remember an evening at Brandon when he was riding a new " all singing & dancing" GM. I'm sure it was Bees v Reading and Roman was " lined up" & passed by Jan Andersson on his dilapidated looking old Jawa. Roman wasn't impressed, after the race finished he rode up alongside Jan & gesticulated towards the engine. I thought WW3 was about to start, Andersson took offence , believing that Roman was accusing him of having a "large engine" and there were ructions in the pits area. I think Andersson insisted that the engine was examined there & then and if my memory serves me Tommy Knudsen took the top off the engine and measured its capacity. Everything checked out fine and we all moved on.

bit insulting to a twelve year don't you think

Kelvin Tatum assisted by Nigel Pearson is the obvious choice

The racing gets better. Great entertainment and VFM.

Enjoyable meeting with some good racing. Glad I went.

The only way that will happen is if Hawkins isn't there!!

At last, one of the better meetings that was enjoyed.... The biggest surprise of the night was that the Stars reach their interval first, 2 races quicker than the other two meetings. Slicker track, Better racing, No tractors. I had to question myself, was this really AFA or was I dreaming. Keep it up, it's about time we got it right....

Spot on steve , Alun is better off out of it but his record stacks up pretty well he has overachieved and yes he can move on with his head held high.Will anyone do any better i think not we are where we are my interest is with the youth and Neil Vatcher as we have some nice prospects being produced in the NL with Drew Kemp leading the way.

I fancy Ipswich for a point, bomder on a new engine, gotta be his night for a huge haul sometime, Nuts will take a boost from last night, or maybe a Snickers. The witches gonna smash it up. Anyway, must go, nurse is coming with my meds.

don't think jack has been anywhere near as good as he was at somerset last season

Great to read there was some decent racing last night. Hopefully this is a corner turned by Buster to let the track run it's natural course.

Mmmm.....I wonder if this opinion may have changed?

Unless there has been another posted, I believe the video you are referring to was taken by me and posted here to disprove someone else's claims that Dugard headbutted Vissing. - it was after Kyle Newman clashed with someone much later in the meeting. He pushed him away from two riders squaring up. It wasn't a physical assault don't be so ridiculous. And it was up against the fence, nowhere near the centre green.

It was Barker Tungate and Garrity. Don't know why/ if Barker pulled out. Then it was a Tungate no show, and last few hours Garrity can't get there. Not sure it's Busters fault why those 3 pulled out late.

Leigh Adams

Under which rule is a facility available for a rider failing to arrive at a meeting?

Thanks for your feedback Dickie and Harry. Felt good from the centre green with the match really coming alive in the closing races. Got to admire those guys. Really fearless and their efforts were rightly well received. Thanks to Garry and Debbie for asking me to stand in for Spencer. Hope to be back on duty for you before the end of the season.

I've heard aarnio is at 7 for you guys

Well Done Rosco, I doubt very much it's a compensated role, so thanks for your service. You can only work with the tools your given and when some of your competition is having money thrown at them for engines and tuning etc it's not hard to see why we don't finish on top despite having Tai.

No I thought it was a bad move letting him go but Rasmus Jensen he isn't!

Always a mistake going with the mobile chicane

That's exactly how meetings should be done. Hopefully it becomes the norm at King's Lynn, I may even come back if things improve on a regular basis

Not even a Taylor Swift... Looks like you need a phone upgrade asap Taps..

The Doctor.... thank you ... so it’s Bellerby and Jordan . So all the “hangers on” getting involved as usual in these incidents instead of minding their business. Sorry to disappoint , but I did see a video posted on here showing Mr M Dugard deliberately knocking Claus Vissing backwards on the Centre green at the first/second bend area. It was a physical assault. The promoters clearly need to ensure better discipline from their staff.

At least some riders turned up & tried to race & make a match...

Course you did. If people aren't on Twitter they won't get the context of this and see how pathetic and childish you are.

Oh look a flagman on the track during parade

It is with much sadness to learn this morning of the death of Phil Spence (Spensites) following a long and brave battle against cancer. Phil was one of the pioneers of the Midland Development League in its early days providing websites free of charge for Long Eaton, Coventry-Mercia and the Castleford Kings. He was also a sponsor of several junior riders. His enthusiasm and tireless online promotion of the MDL was key to it's early success. Nothing was too much for Phil and all of his MDL club websites were often updated on a daily basis at his own time and expense. Probably not known to many outside the junior ranks, Phil will be greatly missed by those that knew him. A genuinely nice guy and one of the sports unsung behind the scenes hero's. Rest in peace mate. Laurence (Main Man) if your'e reading this maybe it would be a fitting tribute to name this years league trophy after him?

Okay... Does anyone REALLY know what the role of "Team Manager" entails these days? I know it includes a generic, "be there for the riders, support them, and fight for them" ideal, but what else? Back in the day, it was the team manager's job to select riders for the World Team Cup, World Pairs, and numerous test matches. Now, we have just one event with three riders, and a couple of subs. Woffinden is a given. A fit Lambert is a given. Even though I am not a Cook fan, he is pretty much a given. So, we only have to worry about a couple of others, none of whom really stand out above the competition. Of course, there are the tactical decisions to be made during the meetings, but even then, these are minimal as the riders have their input. I'm not knocking anyone or anything, but it does seem that a manager's role is far removed from what it used to be. Sad... Steve

By my reckoning (i.e. I'm not discounting the possibility I may have overlooked a result somewhere) last night was Lions biggest away win since Sheffield in 1980 [50-28]. A result they also managed at Coventry in 1974. Not since 1951 have Leicester [Hunters] won by more than 22 points away - a 61-23 annihilation of Cradley.

Sedgeman , Thought the idea was to try and improve the team . I take it you weren't around couple of seasons ago to watch that total waste of space take the p### out of the Ipswich fans and management with his can't be arsed attitude .

I'm flattered, but I've been Promoter at Peterborough three times now and have no real ambition to make it four!
