Workington going to struggle with that team, Howarth good guest, no surprise Cook unavailable!

Coopers average is still 2.00 on latest figures as he hasnt ridden enough meetings yet. Total current team average on official website is 40.47. Gilkes average is nearly a point lower than Bowes so we could re-declare or swap rider for rider.

Yes but the aggregate point could make a difference to Oxford maybe giving them a chance of best losers.

Yes I agree not under motive power but I thought the rule was under power and Kerr's engine was still running, depends on interpretation of the rule. It may not have changed the destination of the bonus point as it was early in the meeting and tactical changes may have come in to play, like not risking putting Bowes out in heat 14.

Probably unwise to pick a fight with Kyle I would think.

Yes true, Kerr was under power at time of stoppage so having excluded Bowes I am not sure there was a case to exclude Kerr as well.

I felt he did lay it down to avoid crashing into Kerr so Kerr should have been excluded.

Enjoyable meeting with plenty of talking points. Bowes should not have been excluded for laying his bike down to avoid Kerr, Kerr should have been excluded as primary cause. Kyle was excellent and I would keep him, he is Poole at heart and always gives his best for us, he should have been given heat 15 with the meeting already won. Bowes seems to have been signed on one excellent meeting last season, tonight he was awful as he was at Oxford. Lawson on the other hand was brilliant.

I hope so he is a nice guy and has Poole in his heart, shame we cant keep him.

Jamie was clearly out of his depth, Max is not out of his depth and he should improve as the season progresses.

I did not think we should have signed him in the first place and he should not have tracks like Oxford that he clearly doesn't like. He will have to be a superstar at home to compensate.

If Cooper rides like he apparently did last night I don't think we will be beaten but Oxford are a good team so we need to perform a lot better than we did at Oxford.

A little worried as we were so poor at Oxford especially Bowes, Newman and Lawson, expected Bowes to be poor but Kyle and Richard should have been better. If Bowes doesn't improve he will get the chop in my opinion.

No I don't think so,you will just have to attend. If you can't there is always speedway updates.

Personally I think Plymouth are doing a good job most of the time, it looked a decent crowd because it was, yes it is smaller than most but usually produces more passing than last night. The good thing about speedway in this country is the variety of tracks, doesnt mean the racing is poor or not enjoyable because it is a small track. You mentioned Peterborough which was a great track that seems to be lost now and unfortunately it is highly unlikely there will never be anyone watching speedway from the grandstand in the future.

Isn't Cami moaning about the track yet?

Great result for Plymouth, always liked King, good to see him going so well.

I hope they ride well.

Kyle has done ok i think, I have no problem with him being kept.

It isnt the track, Nicholls is usually terrific at Foxhall, he did not trouble the scorers at Belle Vue, are you saying Belle Vue is not a good track!!

I hope Cooper does well, he is an exciting rider to watch.

Its never boring when you win. I realise losing an entertaining meeting can be enjoyable but sport is about winning. Crowds do not turn up for teams that lose every week.

But he didnt even beat PHB in one race or Kvech who also had a terrible night. Cant help thinking he must have had mechanical issues.

I would say the end justifies the means.

We would not have won the title if we had prepared the track to the liking of the Glasgow riders. We only smoked Harris and Howarth in the super heat when the track had changed. Harris was unbeaten up to that point.
