Some damning words from Goret on Facebook, although as ever there are no doubt two sides.

Do you actually bother to read scorecards? Lawson and Jorgensen have been excellent all season.

How long was the delay to wait for the drizzle to stop? Doesn't seem worth making a fuss over if it wasn't long, and I'd agree that the finer the rain the harder it is to see out of a pair of glasses/goggles.

I'm sure Masters is professional enough if asked about his performance yesterday to say that he is disappointed in himself/should have done better/had an off day he can't explain rather than blame the track.

My argument would be that it's more likely to be the product that has changed rather than all the people who no longer go because they don't love it any more. It's a shame because when speedway is spot on there is arguably nothing better but it's so rarely like that any more unfortunately.

I've not been this year because Lynn is £20 which is extortionate and there is a requirement to wear a mask at all times which I'm not prepared to do outside. I expect I will go and have a look at Lynn, P'boro or Belle Vue at some point this season but I don't really miss it any more which is sad as I used to be a fanatic. The watershed moment for me was probably Holder/Batchelor-gate in 2017 at Lynn, I've not been regularly since then.

I suspect those who attend Belle Vue, P'boro, Scunthorpe, Glasgow and Redcar would take issue with that. For me it's about tracks rather than riders and we have too many that produce follow the leader stuff.

Who's Tom Finger

What do you expect him to say, 'we're gash and will keep losing so don't bother coming?'

Spot on, nobody new is coming right now, it was always going to be a double upper already here. Heeps and Summers looked the two best options.

Good signing and great to see him racing in the top league, not sure there was too much more he could learn in the NL really.

Hellstrom-Bangs would be great but I can't see the club forking out to fly somebody in and out or risking fuxture clashes, it will be somebody British based like Summers or Heeps I'd imagine.

Other than the fact that there is a match report from yesterday on there and that you'd have to have a crystal ball to not do updates because you were going to lose two hours in the future that's a great post.

All very well pointing the finger at the middle order but Glasgow's team was designed around Cook and Jensen scoring way more than they did yesterday.

Maybe the rising stars should be in 2, 8, 12 and 14?

Come on Adam!

Stop it scoobydoo, it’s not a fair fight

The annoying thing is that they’d got Lawson, Wells and Mountain I’m in the first place instead of Proctor, Bridger and Kinsley it would have been a half decent team. And the Wolves result wouldn’t have happened and Cook wouldn’t have been released. Opportunity missed.

Not sure what went on but it’s been insinuated that he’ll never ride for the Aces again under the current promotion.

The gardeners and farmers need it!

They don’t any more but the weather warnings are still there and it’s likely that if you get a downpour it will be absolutely torrential. To be honest I’m not surprised that some clubs are calling off when tue weather isn’t perfect, don’t think too many can afford to run in front of an even more reduced crowd too often.

Where was it ever said that it was mutual out of interest? Personally I thought it was pretty clear that something happened or was said in the pits during the Wolves meeting to go along with Cook’s performance which meant they felt they had to get rid.

You need to get yourself over to the covid thread and start interacting with Blupanther and Wolfsbane, I have some popcorn I need to use up

Thoroughly enjoyed that, Peterborough really is a fantastic speedway track when it’s well prepared. Fast, full throttle speedway is the best kind IMO.

Ah but that isn’t what you said even if it’s what you meant! Anyway I don't disagree, you need to be winning at home far more often than not. The things that stand out in the scorechart are the slow start from Summers and the Garcia R/R, your reserves are very good so fingers crossed the top five starts to click as there is a lot to like about Berwick as a neutral.
