Good to see Pickering finally getting his chance in the PL. As for Thompson, I'd have thought a PL place should be the next step in his development and it would be far better for him than the NL right now, a bit like Flint

Indeed, and it's one of the reasons it will eventually die out in the UK.

There is plenty wrong at Lynn at the moment but you do go a little OTT at times. What's been good over the last four years.....well 2018 was very good and we only missed out on the title because of injuries in the Pkay Offs, we were comfortably the best team despite being tipped to finish bottom. Robert Lambert. Thomas Jorgensen. Richard Lawson. Signing Sam Hagon. All positives, far outweighed by negatives I'd agree but positives nonetheless.

I certainly wouldn't call it cheating, I never used that word. Ultimately it comes down to the governing body and their strength/weakness, if he's not fit enough to ride then he needs signing off for X number of days/weeks so that he can't ride anywhere, or if he is declared fit (I suspect he very much isn't) then he must crack on for both of his teams. As I said having him fit for one team and not the other looks awful and really shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Some people just don't get it and probably never will, sport without integrity is absolutely pointless. Good for you, but many do and most of those I suspect don't go any more.

I don't think Aces fans are that bothered, they are going to qualify for the Play Offs at a canter anyway. Its more to do with integrity, you have to admit that it really doesn't look very good for a rider to be fit to ride for one team but not another. If it was a Polish team and not Plymouth there would be absolute uproar!

Shroek seems too nice to me. The team needs a foot up its arse and he's not the man for that.

I think the stock car mesh isn't an issue if you are a regular, you soon get used to it. I can understand why occasional or first time visitors don't like it but it is what it is. I thought the racing was pretty good, Cook was exciting to watch as well as Jorgensen and Nicholls. I don't think it will be very good until we get rid of that awful shale but it was much better than I've seen for a few years, presumably because it was slicker. As for Covid, I'm double jabbed and would would have no issue returning to live sport, even a packed football stadium but its personal choice.

Not for me, he was decent for Lynn twenty years ago for a couple of seasons when he was young but looking at the way he cuts up and chops across his team mates in virtually every race for his Polish team wouldn't want him in my side. He divides opinion, very much a marmite rider but whereas many would describe him as hard I think he is dirty and always has been. Happy to leave absolutely no room and assume that the opponent will shut off or back out.

Do you sell doovde semmers?

So one person saying the track was a mess and another saying it looked fine! The BSF in a nutshell.

Can you put me in touch with the Internet Service Providings chap please Terry? I want my free ring-ding.

I was under the impression that once a Visa had been gained for the year it couldn't be changed until the next twelve month period? Could well be wrong though. Has also been my assumption that he isn't interested in riding in the Prem as surely somebody would have signed him by now? He's been here a few seasons and must have been approached.

I like what I've seen of Connor so far, yes he's struggling for points but he gives 100% and gets stuck in, one or two others last night looked like they were going through the motions.

Wrong kind of Visa so rumour has it.

At least it's a fresh idea, we need those because what we have now isn't working and will eventually shrivel up into almost nothing.

Unfortunately so, its part of the regulations for the stadium to hold stock cars and bangers due to some poor soul being killed by a stray wheel at Ipswich several years ago. Not ideal but you get used to it.

Absolute knobhead.

Well that's as much passing as I've seen at Lynn for a long time but we really are poor, a three man team and well beaten by the second worst team in the 'league'. Roll on 2022.....or maybe not.

Out of interest what do you consider to be 'safely run for the vulnerable elderly' and what needs to be done that isn't at the moment which would encourage you to return?

Not everyone gets all the fortune you lot had there. Fair play to Eastbourne for the comeback but I've always thought home tacticals should never be allowed.

I disagree with that, I think the points system worked really well and provided jeopardy and last heat deciders where the away team could 'steal' one the home team's points. Giving the hone team a guaranteed three points for a win was a backward step IMO and the reasoning for it was pretty lame IIRC.

You can have a guest for any of your top three.

You are right, we don't have a number one (or a reserve in fairness) but Lawson and Jorgensen have been very good riding in heat leader positions although who ever is at 1 is likely to struggle. It's a poor side bit to say it doesn't have a heat leader is inaccurate, unfair and pretty lazy.

I guess it all boils down to what he was promised when he signed, and of course how accurate the translation is. You would like to think Plymouth have given him all the help they possibly could and have considered his mental health as much as they could.
