Comfortable home win.

And really excited when they don't, I can't listen to him, does my head in. Sometimes less is more.

What a poor day for the south coast mafia. Is Kurtz really all that? Not really living up to the hype.

Marmalised?

Fantastic top four, dreadful bottom three. Halsey has never achieved anything outside of his comfort zone at Mouldyhole and don't see this being any different. Can see this team being a nuisance should they get to the play Offs but shouldn't beat one of the top four sides over two legs.

It goes without saying that criticism needs to be constructive. The trouble is there are posters on here who seem to have running feuds with others and seem to be constantly fishing for bites. I maintain that if a poster who no longer goes can put their points across in a constructive manner then that information is absolutely invaluable to a speedboat promoter.

While I agree there are some posters who don't go anymore who post to simply 'stir the pot', there are others who don't go or like myself attend a fraction of the meetings they used to who have valid opinions and really ought to be listened to by promoters.....the reasons why these people don't go any more could be valuable information for somebody who is striving to improve their business. Any business which has a 'suggestion box' on its wall surely gets much more out of negative comments than positive ones.

Seems he may have finished in front of Masters in heat 13 rather than behind him, BSPA sure has him down as 9+4 and Masters as 4+1. My bad! Lynn were a four man team tonight and as a unit gated appallingly. Thought the racing was poor and the atmosphere flat despite a decent crowd. The whole club is lacking a spark at the moment.

Easy to get a full house at Poole as it's an area where people have plenty of disposable income and which is crawling with holidaymakers this time of year. Of course he still has to promote but it's much easier there than plenty of other places.

Dirty Red by any chance

City playing at home will always have a big impact on a Belle Vue crowd I'd have thought. Plus the Monday fixture is far more attractive and people may be reluctant to fork out twice in five days.

A glimpse of what might have been this season.

Very much so, a tale of what might have been this season.

One swallow doesn't make a summer but great effort from Kai this evening.

In my experience there can be quite a difference between what fans and riders consider to be the best racetracks.

Wonder where young Bewley will end up next year? Belle Vue will surely use him meaning no Friday night PL track.

Have rain off tickets from the Swindon debacle to use up so the prospect of the world champion means Thursday seems a good bet if it's a completely dry forecast, but with a GP on Saturday will he and Iversen be present?

He's obviously got ability and is young enough to improve, didn't expect too much from him away from home due to seeing tracks for the first time and has shown flashes at Lynn that he could be a decent asset over time. Certainly think he looks better than Jakobsen who has had the luxury of being a ringer reserve when he has ridden.

I think Huckenbeck is worth persevering with next season. There are one or two others though who need clearing out.

Really excited by Bewley.

It was a rare good Lynn performance from him to be fair.

Move away from Scotland?

Good luck to Josh Bailey, great to see two home grown lads lining up reserve.

I think double uppers should ride in the higher standard league where there is a clash but in the case of rearrangement the original fixture should always take precedence, it's not even a debate. Awful decision by Lynn I'm afraid.

If it p!sses Drury off I'm all for it.
