Fair play to you, and thank you.

What have you heard Philip 😉

Are the tapes not released by an automatic system nowadays?

This team has been giving 100% all season, that is one thing that can't be levelled at them. Unfortunately key riders missing for key away meetings has cost us. Ipswich want shooting for chucking an eight points lead away.

Sayfutdinov looks completely disinterested. Poor.

Ipswich making awfully heavy weather of this.

If people think there is an issue with the club then why not grab Rob after the meeting tonght for a chat, he is honest and approachable. Probably more constructive than venting on here.

Because he hasn't got one yet?

Many won't have sympathy for Ben, and I understand that completely, but I do, Polish and UK tracks are chalk and cheese and its not as if he hasn't tried to ride here, although whether he ever had any intention of racing at Lynn is another matter. He has always been committed to his British clubs and I know his wrist is much worse than many realise. I suspect Lezno have been in his ear and I understand it looks bad when he races over there and not here. I wouldn't criticise anyone for hammering him but I wont be doing that.

The press release tells us he's getting a 28 ban without actually stating it.....

Unfortunately the choices for guest were very slim pickings, I think Rowe was worth the risk as he rides BV well and has been in pretty good form, but it didn't work out. Other choices just weren't in the same ball park. I also think you really need to get out of your black and white world and stop constantly hammering team managers for their choices every single meeting, you keep calling them out for mistakes without really having a clue what goes on in the pits. Perhaps you should ask one or two if you can shadow them on a race night to see what actually goes on rather than being a Clever Trevor from hundreds of miles away.

How about heats 14 & 15 for a start? I know I'm biting to a troll (shame on me I know) but Kvechs 4 last time was in the top five and not on the back of 16, 18 and what should have been double figures in a GP. The way he has been riding I'd not have put it past him to have beaten Bewley and Kurtz but we'll never know.

Once we didn't get 5 in heat 12 that was that. Very much fancy we'd have had at least 45 before heat 15 with Jan but there we are. BV definitely need the coming change at reserve to have a chance of the title.

It absolutely wouldn't have been a 'blunder', there will be a good reason. Would have made no difference to the result tonight anyway.

My assumption is that Rowe is still struggling with his groin injury from last week and didn't want a fifth ride. Cook and Klindt the right choice in heat 15, you should never put your number 2 in the last race as its just too long since their last ride. We'd have won that with Jan. So frustrating.

Blue groove 👀

Absolutely. Frustration on Saturday, was just one of those things unfortunately.

He already rides for Plymouth in that EDIT apologies, just realised you wrote MDL not NDT.

I take your point but he's seventeen, I was a bellend from time to time at that age and I daresay you were too. He's far too young to be thrown on the scrapheap.

Forgive my ignorance, where has all this Lawson stuff emerged from?

It's NL racing, a training league. If it's a choice of helping him get back into that or losing him altogether it's a no brainer.

Wrong thread!

Im sure you'd be saying exactly the same if it was a Monarch. A bit of common sense should be applied to get him into NL racing if that's what he thinks is best for him. Would be a massive waste if he was lost to speedway. It's a training and development league after all.

Anders Rowe would appear to be the best guest option if Jan isn't fit.
