One swallow and all that!! It certainly made a big difference that the 2 Geermans scored well. Hopefully Kaiser Kevin can keep it going and it will be interesting to see how Erik develops. Their form will be the key.

Yawwwwwn. Time for a name change?

I believe everything I read! But seriously, worky should have been able to score higher than they did tonight considering the team they put out. Especially with Palovaara at reserve. Plenty of Armadale experience.

Much respect Mr Bruv. Not many people read every word in the programme! You'll have noticed the heat 1 sponsor too! My southern team was a choice from Lakeside, Rye House, Ippo, Peterborough or Mildenhall. From a racing preference it was between the last two and I opted for Peterborough. For some strange reason I have never seen a decent meeting at Ippo and very few at Rye.

Thought someone said worky have 5 heat leaders?

I agree there was a fair number of spectators there. I doubt the crowd was healthy though!

Wish I had stayed at home and watched Eastenders. That was Dire - yet again. Dunno what it is with Rebs and Foxhall but they are always dire there and I keep going to watch them thinking they'll be better this time. Track seemed pretty rough to me, as it is every time I go. But King said it was brilliant so there. Just seemed a lot of bikes bucking around like broncos. Lost count of the number of falls on the first two bends - was it 10? The only other faller was Tungate somewhere in the fog. He started, was last seen going past me on turn 2 but was never seen again and the race was stopped. That heat should never gave started. Not much entertainment for the casual punter. Yet people moaned about the Showground track on Monday. I prefer that every day of the week compared to Ippo.

Could have done with it flooding last Monday then!!

Remember what happened to the titanic!

Not much of a safety fence!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_womble/16888476398/in/album-72157649509012613/

But he has been signed as an asset.

Phillips is Peterborough's number 8.

Errr - you might find that Rob rides for Edinburgh!!

Not sure why Greenwood hasn't clicked yet this season. Last season he was in great form before he bust his collar bone. His maximum was testament to that. Also saw him score very well at Rye House for Panthers last season. Bit unfair to consider ditching him already.

I think the point is that the track has been poor all season until tonight. It's not back to its best yet but tonight was a big improvement.

Tractor was out grading every 2 heats. Seemed to me there were more lines available than any other meeting at the showground this year - all down to a bit extra dirt. Definitely better to watch than what I see at Ippo, though I haven't been to Ippo this year yet.

There hasn't been much grip at the Showground this year!!

Is that not a previous rule from a few years ago?

I see Garrity guests for Panthers instead of Robert Lambert. I'm glad I'm not able to go!! And r/r for Olly is a bummer.

Thanks Gazc.

Serious question - how much of the spectating area is under cover? (Not a trick question and no ulterior motive - just interested to know.)

Given that all the dirt was that far out at the time I think he was always going to struggle to turn the bike and was going to need a Rickardsson Cardiff Wall of Death ride to get around the bouncy bags.

Greater good is fine but only up to a point. And the $64,000 question is - where is that point? Rider safety? Crowd inconvenience? PR? Money? PS I don't know the answer!!

Could well have led to bans or at least threats of bans.

Cookie's comment actually was "....... the paying public must be delighted with the entertainment".
