Call it sour grapes if you like but the majority of the comments agree with what you have just said.....

Poole really are yet to convince, don't see them anywhere near the title without two or three changes.

Funny you should say that as I stood there when we were only four down and thought that even if we gated our way to victory from there it still wouldn't have been worth £18 as the racing was so poor. As you say Rye has always been slick but I've never known it to be as one dimensional as last night, if anything the camber removal seems to have made things worse as the fastest line is now up to the fence exiting bend two, with absolutely nothing on offer down low. Anyway I expect I'll be back for the B fixture and hopefully the action is much better whatever the result.

Forgot to mention the startline girls, wow.

Easy to label riders as disgraceful but the margins are so fine in terms of getting to the first bend in front or not and that's where the meeting was won and lost. As long as everybody is giving 100% I don't really ask too much more as a paying supporter. Of course Holder should be winning races but I doubt he's been to Rye for ten or so years, it was a tough night for everyone and you just have to move on to the next one.

A lot of faith is being shown in Josh because he is a club product. I think the original plan of him sharing with somebody would help him, I wouldn't want to see him cast adrift completely although this will probably happen if we are able to strengthen up when the new averages cone out.

Hence the cautious reply I got

Rye deserved their win and we paid for a dreadful start but in terms of value for money three genuine passes in fifteen heats on a track with one line is pretty poor for eighteen quid. Don't think there was any lack of effort or commitment from any Lynn rider but the majority just couldn't find the set up to get to the first bend in front and that was absolutely vital. Good to see a big crowd and the stadium being improved, hopefully the first bend terracing will return. Great to catch up with Shads after too many years, shame to miss HT who I would have sought out had I known he was there!

Unless there is the threat of rain, in which case it would be daft to water and therefore a bit of dust is necessary.

The BSPA get many things wrong but the scoring system is one thing they have got right, it works well in my opinion. They should have left it alone so that the home team has to win by seven to collect all three points. Well done Mr Cook for that one.

Interesting to see one or two Poole fans turning on Lord Ford. I can't stand the bloke but on this occasion IF the rules state that a facility can't be revoked then it's the rulebook itself which has allowed Kasprzak to stick two fingers up to British speedway. Whichever way round it is its yet another nail in the coffin unfortunately.

Jesus Christ, the two riders are mature enough to have put last year's spat behind them, perhaps some of you lot should do the same.

Anyone with integrity would be mentioning it whichever club it was. Foreign rider sitting on his arse elsewhere while his team races with a facility = taking the p¡ss.

Perhaps but the weather looks a bit dodgy for later. Don't fancy standing in drizzle or not seeing fifteen heats. Late decision.

Should be no facility ie three pointer.

Letting down a guest who was only booked yesterday The Dorset Propaganda Machine is in full swing.

Come on BSPA, show some balls and remove the facility for KK.

We might have a better idea of his abilities once you've raced a decent side. Looks ok so far though, obviously having Stelo on the spanners is a good thing 😁 Rose has started like a house on fire whereas Clegg has been dreadful. Early days though.

Many there?

This could get messy. Should be Bridgers kind of track at least.

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.
