Is there not another Friday that P'Boro could have ridden at Edinburgh when their Danes weren't in Denmark? If I had a pound for every time teams have been scheduled at Armadale with riders committed elsewhere.....

Spannerman reeks of a rider on guaranteed money putting in minimal effort to me.

At times?

That'll do nicely, only four points from our guests (hope Cook is ok) but still comfortably beat the league's in form side. Robert quite brilliant again and very pleased to be proved wrong by Proctor in every meeting so far (when he was announced I deemed him an awful signing ) Chuck in some good racing and you have to say things are very much going in the right direction. The Linnets won too

Seeing as this meeting doesn't count towards the averages and can't be used for fiddling, it's official - Poole are officially the worst 'best side on paper' ever.

I wonder if there'll be a pretend injury tonight?

Really? That's asking for average manipulation is it not? Might explain Poole's slow start.

I'm confused. I thought the one over eight rule was very much present but the reassessment of GP riders was the phantom rule which was only talked about but not confirmed?

I'd say its a fine line between the two. It's very easy for people to be negative and sometimes quite nasty on Twitter, best to not read the comments if I was him.

Or perhaps floodlights?

The general feeling on the Berwick thread that Lakeside were pulling a fast one with a stronger guest didn't help matters either.

Another competitive away showing which is pleasing. Just need to get Neils up to speed which is a matter of when and not if. Robert looks like he means business this year. Hats off to Rory.

Splitting hairs really as Andersen would have fit in Sundstroms place, so foreverblue's point remains.

Same in Fakenham, dry roads here although five miles up the road towards Norwich it's a bit wetter. BBC still predicting heavier rain later today, we shall see.

Delighted to be proved wrong they've not got today right either so far, just bits and pieces of rain rather than the predicted deluge. If they get Wednesday wrong too we might even see some speedway

Sorry to hear that. Hope to see him back refreshed and fully fit in due course. Michael Palm Toft is a decent replacement.

Parts of Norfolk expected to get up to 80mm of rain today (the average for April as a whole is only 44mm). Even with the football and the guests removed from the equation it'll be a miracle if this meeting goes ahead.

Above all else best wishes to Ostergaard and Lawson.

The guests have been well chosen and one could argue make us a little stronger but that's not the point, people want to see a full team of their own riders.

Why? He scored 15 last time at Lynn on bikes that are almost certainly sitting in Norfolk. There seem to be a lot of comments on Premiership match threads about Polish meetings this year, not sure scores over there are particularly relevant to our league. Not rubbish at all. If all clubs had worked together for the good of British speedway as a whole there would have been no clashes as Premiership fixtures would have been on Mondays and Thursdays.

Maybe they'll get ironed.

This will be off hours before start time looking at the forecast.

A bit of research would have revealed what the two above posts have outlined. No he shouldn't have ridden and yes he has probably let his team down as a result but it had nothing to do with Sedgmenitis. Hopefully he now takes time out to heal properly, difficult when no racing means no pay though I guess.

Because he's a second string so you can only use R/R.

Wolves are mega strong at home but we have started the season quite well.....Lewis Rose needs to be fit if he rides as he obviously wasn't at the Foxhole last night. Can see us going down fighting by 10-12 points.
