  1. Quite agree, but there obviously wasn’t enough water put down before the meeting to soak the base. Tracks should be prepared and maintained for spectators not riders.
  2. Three things are needed to keep the dust down and the track good on a warm afternoon; the correct equipment, the know how and the desire to achieve that goal. If any of those things are missing it won’t happen and you end up with the unacceptable situation which arose at Poole yesterday. As HT says it can be done.
  3. Then clubs should think of their customers and not take the risk or as BCD says don’t schedule meetings on Good Friday.
  4. Any rider who misses a championship fixture on a championship race day because they were riding in a premiership fixture should receive a ban and only be replaced by a three pointer during that period.
  5. Still early days but Ipswich look better than the widely predicted 7th strongest. Difficult to judge Belle Vue until Bewley is back up to full speed.
  6. Peterborough at its best is second only to the NSS in this country for me.
  7. This particular poster definitely falls into the ‘pinch of salt’ category. On a not entirely different subject anyone seen Fred Flange lately?
  8. Agree to a point but he needs to start showing something at home eventually.....if he is scoring 5 or 6 away every time then it’s not such a big deal but he hadn’t even looked competitive at Lynn yet. One would like to think that he is practicing and getting advice on set ups and riding technique. He should at least be making half decent starts by now which is two thirds of the battle.
  9. Don’t forget Lynn start fifteen minutes later than the others.....an hour and a half is reasonable I’d say.
  10. It won’t be until they stop using stock car friendly shale and put some proper speedway dirt down. But while the four wheeled stuff keeps filling the stadium I don’t think things will change. Would have been nice to come on here this morning and read some positivity after a comfortable win over the old enemy rather than going round in the same circles. Jorgensen is developing into a very strong home rider for us while I wonder how long it will be before somebody admits that Kasper can’t get the hang of our track as he seems to score points ok elsewhere. He wouldn’t be the first rider to struggle with the Lynn surface but it needs sorting one way or the other. Now onto a tough assignment at Peterborough on Monday.
  11. £1 I believe, make sure you take a blanket, hot water bottle and the thickest coat you can find though, baltic up there.
  12. Think it was 2001 that Ronnie rode. The Pole was Artur Prietzyk or something like that, he didn’t last long and I remember him turning up later in the season with two very big Polish chaps to collect earnings he was owed by the promotion Wagstaff used about twenty riders that year, there was a German called Joachim Kugelmann, a Norwegian called Bo Hansen, Roman Povhazny, Lukasz Jankowski and a young Slovenian I can’t remember the name of. Not a great season to be a Lynn fan.
  13. You look down the Ipswich 1-7 and they have all ridden well at Lynn before, this is going to be a tough night and I have to agree that any sort of win will do nicely. Feel more optimistic after Thursday night.
  14. Too much Poole but that probably doesn’t come as a surprise to too many people.
  15. I’m not really fussed either way about Middleditch but like Chris Harris and all the grief he got for his Go Fund Me idea it’s entirely up to people whether they get involved or not, nobody is forcing anybody nor should anyone be made to feel good or bad whatever they decide.
  16. Not really, can take a hiding (Lynn have had umpteen over the years) but snide, childish comments on here I do struggle with.
  17. Can see this being a very comfortable home win.
  18. Highly unlikely he’ll be picked for the SoN I’d suggest. Depends on who else is in what kind of form though of course.
