The difference is Nicol is a young lad with improvement in him while Simon is thirty ish and reached his level long ago. He always does a decent job for Lynn as a stopgap but we need to try somebody else who may well be better given the chance.

No away points = no play offs so whoever they bring in at number seven will be worth the risk.

Great memories of Shane as a Knight / Star in 1997-98, 2000 & 2003, in particular that first season when he had some very quick bikes and beat most riders round Lynn. Very best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery.

Because people want their riders to succeed and would rather not chop and change too much? I feel the same about Kasper at Lynn, desperately wanted him to cut it.

If one big league could be done properly I think that would be great for British speedway, unfortunately I think the financial disparity between the haves and the have not means that there would be enormous gulfs between teams and it would be a very lopsided league. It would need to be done much, much better than 1995 that’s for sure.

You keep coming out with this back of the queue thing but I just don’t think it’s true.....from the word go pretty much everybody predicted Ipswich would finish bottom of the pile and also that Peterborough would join them once Harris and Cook had been removed. Lynn were widely thought to be the strongest of the three in paper albeit also not in the Play Offs. Also Cook has ended up at Lynn rather than one of the other two. I would agree though that spreading his resources three ways has impacted what he could spend on Lynn’s team, although it’s pretty certain there would be no Premiership if he hadn’t.

Good luck with that.

Similarly Drabik could regret cocking up his semi final after dominating the heats.

In a way I agree with you as the amount of changes Poole for example have made in recent years is ridiculous but for Lynn this year no more changes means no away wins, probably a home defeat or two and no Play Offs. I’m sure the vast majority of us would prefer to see us at least have a go at getting fourth.

Pretty close and open after round one. What a pity Robert fell in his fourth ride while second.

I think I described his signing as awful eighteen months ago but to be fair he had a good season last year but has been pretty woeful this time round.

Indeed. Nine race wins but twelve lasts.

So another away defeat last night and no point despite only needing a shared heat 15. With only away trips to Belle Vue, Swindon, Wolves and Poole x 2 left it looks highly unlikely that an away win will be achieved this season. Even winning the rest of our home meetings probably wouldn’t be enough to finish top four. Unfortunately I feel that the club has taken far too long to replace Proctor and while Cook was a good signing the injury to Riss came at an awful time and unfortunately Lewis has taken several matches to get going after dropping to reserve. All a bit of a mess really. Get Riss and a proper number seven in and maybe they’ll prove me wrong but it doesn’t look good and the season could effectively be over before the kids break up for the summer.

You kind of get the feeling that by the time we get our preferred 1-7 in place it’ll be too late in the season to achieve anything. Proctor and Slambert have to be gone for the next meeting.

Maybe some of you lot shouldn’t make it so easy for him then and reign in your pre match bleating.

Walasek to Lakeside.

Never fear taps, there is likely to be an Old Farm derby of sorts in the Checkatrade Trophy next season

Kerr is certainly capable of scoring big points from reserve but for some reason has struggled to convert his Eastbourne form into performances for Lynn. Tonight would be a great time to start.

It’s there in black and white, you stated we’d been beaten. Don’t be afraid to admit that you got it wrong, we all do sometimes. You look more silly when you try and cover it up As for the other bit, I got it wrong to be fair, you didn’t say star man but star men. So really you’ve managed to have a pop at all three of them....Lambert and Cook for being beaten by the ‘old man’ and disrespecting Harris by insinuating he shouldn’t be able to beat them when he is perfectly capable on his day. Bravo sir

Who’s he

Typical Webbo to get something factually incorrect in his post and have a little dig at Robert Lambert too. All boxes ticked In terms of keeping his captive audience in for as long as possible, that’s great for Buster until some of those audience stop going as they are fed up with getting home so late, then it becomes counter productive. On a positive note good to hear the racing was decent.

Without Riss or a high scoring reserve this has all the ingredients of a hiding unfortunately.

It’s always been said that a longer meeting means more food, drink and bar sales for Buster and I can’t think of a reason which trumps that one.

I’m a self employed gardener so extremely busy this time of year and I just don’t get home from work early enough to get to Lynn without rushing around like a blue arsed fly and having to eat a rat burger at the stadium for tea. If the racing was better and I was able to get home a bit earlier afterwards I might pop along a little more often but as it is it’s once in s blue moon at Lynn for me as it just doesn’t feel worth £18. It’s a pity as I hardly missed a meeting for thirty odd years.

Well my mind was open but that was sh!te.
