Haza

If Leszno have paid for all Ben treatment on his wrist I can understand why they wouldn’t want him to race in the Uk and the difference in pay between Poland and England we can’t really blame Ben he’s obviously going to ride where he can maximise his earns we’d all do that in what ever job we do - these riders don’t need to race here in the Uk it’s handy for early and late season when Polish seasons hasn’t started or at the end of season has finished. England is pocket money in comparison to Poland but we think we are equal paying field we are not we are at the bottom . only two ways to go pay the same as Poland that’s not going to happen the money or support isn’t there so the choice is teams sign riders that will 100% put racing in England first over any other country yes we’d lose a lot of riders but we’d have riders that actually want to be here and give there best .

Was a time on a Bank Holiday Monday it be a bumper crowd - And well done Birmingham

Maybe so but Lynn track record on dodgy call offs isn’t good I don’t recall Birmingham making dodgy call offs .This may prove to be a great decision who knows ?

Saved the Brummie promotion a few £s calling it off Tv fixture =poor crowd

I have the same thoughts about Ben unfortunately - also with Leicester winning at Ipswich last night I’d say play offs are fast becoming a distant dream for the Stars the Ko is our best chance of silverware especially with Ipswich injury problems

Expecting far too much of Bomber he’s not a number one any more remember how old he is as well - same with Iversen both good second strings or at best 3rd heat leader . As for how to improve the side I’ve no idea anyone that wants to race in the UK is already here so it’s carry on with the riders we have other than maybe swap the R/S but would they be any better ?Play offs are more or less gone so let’s concentrate on getting 5th place which we should do

Hopefully that’s what Lynn fans get great racing on a well prepared track and I’m sure the team will pick up more wins as the season progresses .

Mid May and Top 4 more or less sorted barring injuries or a team pulling a rabbit out the hat of a signing - that’s poor for any sport - makes me wonder the next 3 and half months of league racing going to be like ?

The ship really is sinking - after all these years nothing has been learned watering down doesn’t work

Good news it’s on TNT Sports 1 there main channel .

This fantasy speedway who and where is this 8 point assessed rider ? The team is what it is for this season . There might be changes if injuries force the situation and who knows Robert Lambert might fancy the last month of the season once Poland and the GPs have finished - but for now I honestly can’t see any change in the team

Even at this very early stage of the season Birmingham and Oxford season is all but over hopefully the Stars won’t join this group - 3 of the 4 play off places are all sorted now barring injuries of course - so from now it’s all about the 4th spot between Stars and the Lions and it’s only mid April which isn’t good for the league. And you are correct it’s waiting for September plays offs

Palm Toft was in the pits last night so that be the more likely route

Not sure how asking if Mr Ribbons was connected to the return of speedway to Norwich is scuppering Mildenhall return to the track action ? I was just asking basically if it was the same person that’s all - I certainly don’t have any personal issues with Mr Ribbons I wish Mildenhall well and hope they do return this coming season .

A metal post set in concrete isn’t going to move how ever much protection is put around it I really can’t see how speedway can return to West Row now the stock car fence has been installed.

Am correct in thinking Ribbons was involved with the aim to bring speedway back to Norwich?

Best bet is to find a wealthy sponsor or backer borrowing the money without knowing how successful the venture will be is very risky- if I’d pledged money as a fan Id withdraw it if the 100 or so fans are deemed responsible for repaying for any loan if that’s the route they go down

Can’t see the club returning not with those sort of figures £40.000 for a hand full of meetings in front of 500 fans doesn’t make financial sense to me unless they can find as you say someone with very deep pockets to fund it .

Looking at other photos of the track as well the concrete stock car fence has narrowed the track up get a wooden fence on the straights with a small gap between the concrete and the wood fence and a foam or air fence on the bends will the white line have to be move in ? the track as it is looks really narrow

Taken down before stock car meetings but I guess if no stocks it’s left up until the next speedway meeting

Big advantage of kings Lynn foam barrier riders who fall don’t tend to end up underneath it air fences lift up and offer less protection - Chris Holders crash at Coventry is prime example.

Time to get a fire stick I think .

F1 Stock cars at Lynn the night before let’s hope the weather is kind on the Saturday night and will be an all nighter I’d say turning the stadium around for 3pm Sunday .

What about fans who have pre paid for a Cardiff hotel
