Daniel Smith

He represented GB last year at u21 level, what's the difference?

Although I still don't agree with the principles of this competition I'm proud of how we performed. Certainly didn't disgrace ourselves against sides that were supposed to be far superior. The only let down (not for the 1st time this season either) was Bjerre. A supposedly world class rider was horrendous. Completely lost any competitive bottle. Robert Lambert, genuine British star on the rise. Has to be in the World Cup. To go to Poland up against that class of rider for the 1st time was absolutely sensational

I believe the reserve rule is 2 years max anyway so these guys have to cut it or be thrown on the EL scrap heap.

Lambert has to be in GB team without fail. No excuse to leave him out now

Not impressed, in fact, totally embarrassing

There was just 1 racing line all night. Not quite FTG but certainly almost all races after lap 1 was follow the leader. Nick Morris and Robert Lambert were the only 2 to really provide anything that resembles racing.

Emil has withdrawn from the Vetlanda team. No idea on the replacement

Sh!+ meeting I thought. Crowd was very good again though. Very very impressed with Nick Morris Just to add, with our form tonight we'd have been beaten imo had Kildermand & Batchelor been available for Swindon

calm ya skinz ol' boy. Things move on, can't expect people to chuck on showaddywaddy just for your liking & exclude da yoovs speedway is so desperate to encourage

Does ride for Ostrovia in Poland but are all your home meetings Sunday's??? A 7.95 PL average he would be given

It seems Peterborough are between a rock and a hard place in replacing Allen. If a riders doesn't already have a PL average the Premier League can't bring in an EL rider who's EL average is over 6. Seems daft to me In the same token though, another Stars rider who could do with the extra racing (Nicklas Porsing) could be a decent replacement and is living over here so could make things a little easier???

Easy, Danny scores a 15 point max and Lynn win by a point. Sorted

I can't understand why Nicholls keeps getting mentioned, he ain't interested

It's not about excitement, it's about development and our youngsters are not going to get it from the BSPA as a whole. That responsibility has been left with the GB manager to manage With regards to Kennett and Lawson, trick track averages do nothing for international competitions and King just isn't up to it. Time to move on

I use to be of the same opinion but I think we really need to push on with youth and that means using them at every level. The problem with test matches we've had over here in recent years is the opposition isn't of the highest calibre so our young guys don't know what they need to change to be the best or better. The BSPA are not a GB friendly association and there's no future in using 30 something rider's every year. The Stead's, King's and even Lawson who is 29 offers no international future. I've got my fingers crossed Rosco will give us something different along the lines of what Rob Lyon wanted to achieve and not the same old clap trap Midlo dished us up in his tenure

Based on giving experience to an up and coming rider that's doing well in the Elite League. Premier League form is irrelevant when looking at playing international cards.

One things for certain, no EL fast track rider should be anywhere near the squad. There's a reason they're in those positions I.e. they're nowhere near ready. For me the main picks would be: Woffinden Harris Lambert Howarth Squad fill in's: Stead Cook Lawson

I think that's more like it and as to why Leicester keeps the Saturday race day. Quite often away teams were with guests at Eastbourne too. Ok, Leicester's crowds are decent now but it won't take long before people get fed up

Well, considering the standard of our last 2 meeting tonight was brilliant. Close racing, plenty of passing and no tractor racing. I believe the racing was hugely improved due to the fact the track was left which allowed it to develop different racing lines. Mr Buster Chapman, more of that please

Same as everywhere else. Certainly not value for money imo

You need a trip to Santa Pod if straight line speed gets you excited. That's certainly not why I watch speedway. If the racing is crap, it's crap & it's been crap 2 weeks on the trot. That's the be all and end all. How fast they go doesn't mean an awful lot to be fair.

This was originally King's Lynn v Poole but Poole withdrew and Lakeside were the only side to step in to fill the Sky schedule

I've said and agree, our track isn't what it was & it hasn't been for some time but it had nothing to do with tonight. An NL side would have put up a better battle than Lakeside tonight. The reason we win 'track of the year' year on year is down to it's consistency & riders trust in it. It certainly doesn't win race track of the year and it hasn't been a racing circuit for a good 7-8 years. At most, we get 2-3 good races a meeting and probably 1 great 1 amongst those of we're lucky. But the showing tonight can only lay blame at 1 teams door. They never even got close enough for rear wheel chasing.

Think we could argue all night about it Regarding Kerr's crash it clearly showed on the replays he over cooked the backend. Those crashes happen week in week out around the world. Blaming the track for Lakeside's incompetence is taking the argument over the top.

1 top draw maximum a swan it does not make. Time and space is required
