Unfortunately the jeopardy of the away team gaining an away point and in the process denying the home team a third point was removed by Jon Cook et al a few years ago, completely bonkers idea as the original system worked well and led to more last heat cliff hangers.

Absolutely no surprise that this happened at Eastbourne, have been there several times over the years supporting Lynn and there is always the feeling that something is brewing. Add Jon Cook into that and it’s little wonder it happened there.

Looks like several others could get punished too if Cook does going by that video.

They’ve had to have helmets on at Lynn for years, I assume it varies from council to council and safety certificates etc.

I’m not quite sure what your expectations were but I don’t think either failed to deliver, they have won races and reached semi finals and a final which isn’t bad for young riders. It’s s tough, tough series with no room for error and I think they have both done ok.

And if you are thinking those things based on the other night and what you’ve read/seen that’s fair enough. But there are people who don’t like him and couldn’t wait to wade in on him on the threads as soon as they got a whiff of what went on. He’s done wrong and been a silly billy but it’s been blown way out of proportion as things usually are on here.

Unfortunately there are too many people on this thread and the Eastbourne one with an agenda and using their pre existing opinion of Cook to form their view without looking at the incident for what it was.

If P’boro have a full side with a decent guest for Bates they can beat anyone at home.

It was an off night for them, every team has them. They are up the top and virtually in the Play Offs already because they have been very good all season, they shouldn’t be judged on one meeting. Don’t forget they have comfortably beaten us three times at the Foxhole and got a draw last time at Lynn as well as various other good performances throughout the season. You just wonder if they are running out of steam at the wrong time but I don’t think they are or should be looking to make changes. Maybe because that doesn’t appear to be what happened.

I think the video proves this is all a bit of a storm in a teacup and most of the reports on Saturday night were wildly exaggerated. I expect a fine but don’t see there being the ban that many seem to be salivating for.

There is often a team who has a lot of momentum at the business end of the season and if Wolves make the top four it will be them.

R/R scored paid eleven so it made little difference to be fair. Didn't see that one coming at all, as has been said you wonder if Ipswich are running out of puff at the business end of the season.

Well that’s not half as bad as described on the meeting thread.

I expect he will once there has been a hearing, you can’t just ban somebody without going through the proper procedures. The Lynn press release says that they think R/R is stronger than any guests who were available and willing. Getting good riders to guest on Mondays is difficult when they all want to go direct from Poland to Sweden.

Primarily yes but with a redundant centre of concrete the shape could be made even better as Daniel says. But you are right, the right kind of dirt should be the first alteration.

Come now, that’s all a bit childish. Anyway riders are self employed and will guest as they wish, although you can’t blame them for not diverting from Poland to Sweden via the UK for the money on offer over here.

It’s been his MO for years and years and still people bite, fair play.

Ahhhh, so now we are getting to the bottom of why you keep running on about it.

Serial rubbish stirrer.

Very little hope with R/R for Robert, ought to be a comfortable Twitches win. To have any chance all six would have to score well and that’s difficult against such a solid team. 40-50.

Absolutely, have chatted to my in laws and then parents about these goings on this morning and both said how in the seventies it happened pretty much every week. I’m not saying that there wasn’t stuff last night which might have crossed the line but you almost feel like there are people around the forum and social media who are champing at the bit for the first opportunity to be outraged by something.

Now you’re talking

At last a decent GP, the series has been tripe since the opening round. Fantastic speedway.

Blobby and jenga are like bad smells on Glasgow threads.,
