You'd like to think so but there have been various whispers that he won't be coming. Also see he had yet another pile up in his meeting today.

Let's hope it doesn't take as long to get 'Terry' or someone similar in as it did for Poole, was at least ten years of bumps and holes wasn't it? Might have been longer.

That's the beauty of JustGiving, if you want to contribute you can but if you don't you're not forced. Everyone has a choice

From what I've seen so far I'd suggest Basso will be on the radar of many Polish clubs before long if he isn't already which might make his availability for the Championship tricky or at least require some creative fixture arranging.

Still April and already we have a meeting with three guests and R/R.

One thing the EoES can't be described as is generally gate and go. It really isn't and has been for many years one of the very best racetracks in Britain.

Oh come on now, I think we can all agree that those who have been twice in eleven years know more about the track than those who go every week I think its generally accepted that when building the track and stadium they made a bit if a horlicks of the shape but a lot of work has gone into widening and improving it. Sounds like there are one or two issues with the surface but it's posted on here far more often than ever before that the racing is good nowadays and that's a very positive thing. To answer the OP writing any team off in April is silly.

Hucenbeck would ne a very good option but I'd be surprised if his continental commitments allowed him to come over, or if he'd want to.

Having a guest from another team who are also in a three team round robin would be absurd.

Can't blame Kerr taking the booking but daft that a rider who rides for one play off contender can guest for another.

I wonder if a video of heat 15 will pop up on the website and social media pages?

Good to see a rider who cares.

Is a facility allowed if he's not ridden for us yet?

Than Sedgemen? Absolutely.

Indeed, I'm hoping the promotion have something lined up, even if it's another 28 day signing, Barker maybe or someone like that who has been racing and knows the tracks. Initially was concerned about Pickering being at one but I think he'd be absolutely fine.

I think what I enjoyed most apart from Pickering's heroics was the fact that everyone cared about the result, every rider gave their all, Andersen punched the air going over the line in heat 14 because it mattered, same with the Lynn celebrations at the end. There was a decent atmosphere with both sets of fans making some noise and there felt like there was a passion in the stadium, that's not always been the case in recent years.

That's the most enjoyable evening at the AFA I've had for years. Who doesn't love a heat 15 full of passing when the result of the meeting rests on it. Thought we threw away several points tonight so to still grind it out was pleasing. Also pretty clear to see that Basso's absence on Monday was a significant factor in our win.

He's done something very similar at Lynn tonight through an even smaller gap in a last heat decider, brought the house down. He's some rider.

Perhaps the camera angle isn't great but that move didn't look that bad and nothing that Hans wouldn't have done in his pomp.

Josh Pickering take a bow son.

Basso looks the real deal.

Be humble in victory though.

Oxford did well really to get 42 with Nicholls having an off night and their number seven unavailable.

I could be wrong but I don't think hes allowed to do more than two other leagues in addition to the Polish second division and he's already committed to Denmark and Sweden.

Zagar will make a considerable to Aces fortunes, once Fricke gets going / stops testing it looks a strong, well balanced team.
