Not really, as long as you win the meeting that's all that really matters at this stage. It's all about running into top form in September, as we discovered three years ago breaking records early in the season counts for little. Aim to win at home and pick up losing points away and you finish top four, anything else is a bonus.

NATIONAL League racing returns to The Adrian Flux Arena on Wednesday as the King's Lynn Young Stars host reigning champions Birmingham (7.30). The Young Stars will be looking for an improved performance on home shale after suffering a 61-29 defeat against Cradley on opening night. Young Stars team manager, and temporary squad member, Scott Campos believes his side will be more relaxed at a venue they're used to and is anticipating an entertaining fixture against the Midlands outfit. "Birmingham are a big club in this league and have won the title the last two years running," Campos said. "Theyre looking a strong side once again this year and its going to be another tough test for the team. "However, I think were in for some cracking racing and as long as the boys give it all their effort and enjoy it, then we cant ask for much more than that can we?" KINGS LYNN: Josh Bailey, Lewis Whitmore R/R, Ryan Kinsley, Scott Campos, Danny Phillips, Connor Locke, Taylor Hampshire. BIRMINGHAM: Tom Bacon, Chris Hay R/R, Darryl Ritchings, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, Danyon Hume, Macauley Leek, Layne Cupitt.

But he's not, he's simply saying that he doesn't find Scunny a good racetrack. Personally I think Belle Vue is way ahead of anything we have in the UK for racing, although Scunny has usually been excellent when I have been bar a couple of poor ones. But every track has those.

He's a Lynn asset so should be riding for us.

Apart from Matt Williamson there isn't really anyone any better than Josh on paper out there who fits. For me being below the points limit matters little as long as you have sufficient improvement in the 1-7.

Bailey is a home grown club asset, I don't see Lynn replacing him so early in the season and nor should they. In any case Hume rides for Brum on Wednesdays.

They obviously thought Bewley stood more chance of getting something.....

Not like Rosco to moan.

Looking forward to this if the weather is set fair, not been since the 2013 NLRC.

Have to agree though, Bewley is a different level to Shanes. Smith would be a better comparison.

Can only be put down to complete ignorance.

Great to see the young Brit putting the young Aussie to the sword.

Do cup matches count towards official averages?

As in Bailey of course.

Totally negated by Graversen for Bates. Think this will be close, would have said Poole win before last night's collapse.

The first of many comfortable home wins for Edinburgh this season. Good to see young Josh scoring some points.

Indeed. Rye home and away next weekend will give us a much better idea of Lynn's credentials.

I agree about home advantage, over the years top racetracks like Somerset, Scunny and P'boro have all provided good home advantage when the home teams have been strong. As the season progresses this team will get better and better, particularly at home.

Good to see every team will be on at home once and away once and that we won't have any particular clubs rammed down our throats.

Fight as in your riders were allegedly scrapping in the pits.....

Absolute cricket score.

Plenty to be encouraged about in that scorechart. Decent start.

This Belle Vue team is going to be very good. Don't think the tie is over though.

I don't necessarily disagree with the fact people find the rule daft, but Wolves weren't 'saved' as Riss should have known much, much better.

Just important to get off the mark tonight, any kind of win will do. There are no trophies handed out for tonking teams in April. This is a potential banana skin with Somerset likely to be right at home in their big, fast surroundings this evening.
