Why on earth would you post original tickets in this day and age

There must have been a reason for Kerr not getting heat 14. Agree about being too nice, which is why it's good to read that Lambert was forceful in heats 13 & 15. When will new averages come out putting Kerr into the top five?

Ford always has a plan.

Absolutely, he has certainly stepped up a level this year and to be scoring the points he is now in several different countries at twenty years old is excellent progress. Some people thought he should have a Michael Lee type impact at 16-18 but riders progress at different rates, doesn't make them better or worse. His fitness regime seems to be bearing fruit and this could be said for the whole team, these marginal gains including fitness, team building and the warm up/down cycles seem to squeezing a few extra % out several riders and are being reflected in results so far.

Thing is we have no idea how often any of them will be missing. We have been told that Neils shouldn't miss any more but we shall see. IF Danish clashes are kept to a minimum and we are lucky with injuries then there is no reason why we can't reach the play offs and be competitive in them. Long, long way to go though. So far the team is proving a lot of people wrong, me included.

Can tac subs be used in heat 14?

Well done Craig Cook. With the exception of Howarth the Brits have all performed well this weekend, not often we've been able to say that in these types of meetings.

While the three guests won't be as strong as the three riders they are replacing they are decent stand ins. I think Lynn will do very, very well to get anything or of this.

We'd all (well most) like Tai to ride here but if he felt his schedule was too busy with three leagues and GP's then Britian was always the league he was going to drop. I think his results since cutting down speak for themselves.

This date must have been agreed to in the knowledge that some riders might be missing? People are talking about Lynn not wanting it called off but do Belle Vue?

Lynn wanted Thursdays though.

I'd say Iversen is the must do better. Kasper is doing just fine considering his age and experience.

I have to agree with this......I stand in the same place each meeting with the same group of folk but sometimes there are a couple more who join us and the night flies past because of the chat and banter. Texting updates makes a big difference too, you need a reasonable gap between races

I'd go by Stars Updates on Twitter, Andrew is as accurate as anybody.

I think both can be correct depending on people's expectations. Some turn up without really being bothered about who is riding, how long irlt lasts for, whether there are six overtakes or twenty six. Others will be turned off by all of those things. Don' think either viewpoint is necessarily right or wrong, but it' good that everybody can air them. It seems for every person who didn't enjoy last night or was put off going there was somebody who loved it. Each to their own at the end of the day.

Shouldn't be lasting for over two hours. The cynic in me would suggest that after a slickly run first meeting food and drink takings were down Pleasantly surprised by the winning margin, assuming we can stay clear of injury this team could be dark horses for top four and beyond, great to see. Some really positive feedback from paying customers on Twitter which is pleasing, just need to tweak the PR a bit and minimise those Danish clashes and this could be a very good year.

Well done to Rye for their point. Still can't work out if Poole are on the fiddle or just sh!te.

Personally I wouldn't feel the need to know who the number eight is until the parade, but I agree it wouldn't hurt to include it in the press release if possible. Should definitely be compulsory to name a number eight.

I suspect the team was already built and changing it would have meant a far less competitive side. I guess we will know how mad it was once the number of matches missed is determined. Robin Brundle has suggested that tonight will be Puk's final absence but time will tell.

Seems Auty is there and Campos is number eight. #chinesewhispers

Could go either way, but if Kerr, Lambert & Proctor ride like they have been Lynn could go through comfortably. And the racing could be good like it has been. The issues people are getting wound up about are off track rather than on.

Why have Leicester managed to get three proper guests yet we have R/R and Auty?

To be honest I can't blame you for putting your time, money and effort into T20 cricket instead, there aren't many more exciting sports around at the moment and county cricket really knows how to treat its punters nowadays.

With all due respect we do know your current speedway circumstances as you post on the forum several times each meeting that you won't be going. FWIW I don't think anybody has to be a current paying punter to have an opinion, and as others have said those who used to go but no longer do so should be listened to particularly closely.

I would guess that signing Danes is the only way we were going to have a competitive team. The $64,000 question is how many more meetings they miss.
