Well something like that.....looks like I inadvertently opted into a 'trial data' thing on the met office app......have now gone back to the normal settings and it is indeed looking mainly dry for tomorrow! Apologies to all.

According to the Met Office app there is between 95-60% chance of rain for every single hour in Owlerton between now and tapes up tomorrow night.

An inch of rain overnight with more falling and showers all afternoon, although a drier outlook tomorrow. Good for gardeners and ducks

Rightly or wrongly I think he wants to come across as the bad boy of British speedway, he obviously cares about the sport and wants more interest, more exposure, more bums on seats and perhaps he thinks being a controversial figure might help achieve that. Perhaps he thinks it's all too sanitised and needs stirring up a bit. In which case it's not just being a gobs hite for the sake of it, it's with an aim. People will dislike him for it but that's the whole point.

Spotify or Amazon platforms. It's very King's Lynn so might not be to everybody's taste but I think we get a good balance between the three of us. We are ten episodes in and it's being received pretty well.

Not if you listen to the Pride of the East podcast, I've had plenty to say on there.

And Kurtz in heat 15, or were you too busy being a Clever Dick to spot that

Apparently we were the first side to stop BV reaching 50 at home this year in a league match so that's a pretty good effort. Frustrating that Klindt scored below his normal NSS level as we might have got a result.

Not sure who would be better than Iversen, Basso, Klindt & Wojdylo having a ride each. Although I'd always go with seven if possible. Think Brennan was the only realistic option. Nicholls is a decent shout too.

Forecast looks poor for Wed and Thurs I wonder if Lynn weren't quick enough with Brennan with only Brum not riding or if Ippo have flexed their financial muscles to secure him as their guest? I think it would be a better spectacle if Lynn had Brennan and Ippo R/R but that's not the Witches problem, they want to win and have got in there first. Likely to be a cricket score and thank the Lord I'm unable to go!

I think Pickering getting injured in between being booked and appearing rather sums up the season. We have enough riders who go well around BV to keep it respectable but it's going to be a comfortable Aces win.

Just caught up with what Butterfield has recently said.....what an absolute piece of work he is.

Not unexpected, the hope now is that we get to see the rest of the season before Buster retires.

Poole has always been incredibly difficult for away riders to get dialled into / set up for for some reason. Consequently vert talented riders can turn up there and look like novices, even those who have ridden there before. You can imagine how hard it was for the four debutantes the other night, add in a mechanical nightmare for Cook and 60+ for Poole was no surprise. Home wins will always attract thr crowds, Lynn were dominant at home for eight seasons in the second tier and as a result the racing was usually pretty poor, but more often than not the place was packed.

They are. The bikes are much more volatile nowadays but also the money generally on offer in the UK compared to abroad means riders just want to stay in one piece for the next meeting in Poland or wherever.

I think its all about maximising the number of folk through the door, gone are the days where people will turn up come what may unfortunately.

I'll be behind the sofa

If you're getting the same kind of rain that we are in Norfolk then it's too heavy for any speedway today IMO. Just got absolutely drenched on the school run!

I don't know if it makes any difference at all but Lynn always used to use RAF Marham for their weather forecasts rather than a more general met office one, if they still do then perhaps the 'worsening forecast' which they have somehow got spot on was a lot more likely than most thought, you'd expect their weather predictions for quite a specific area to be as state of the art as it gets. I do agree though that waiting until the morning of the meeting would make much more sense than calling off the day before. I'd also say that not flying riders in would make us even more uncompetitive....which leads to a wider argument that perhaps we are in the wrong league.

Maybe it's luck, maybe is genius but the forecast is a lot worse now.

I think he's probably got more brains than people give him credit for and that he knows exactly what he's doing when expressing himself.

I think that's probably the top and bottom of it, a reluctance to run if riders are missing or the weather isn't perfect. And not wanting to spend money flying riders in for a potential rain off.

I think the phrase is 'know better, do better' when it comes to keeping folk in one piece.
