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.

I like Tatum but find Pearson too shouty personally, think there is a balance between enthusiasm and unnecessary barking.

Burger anyone?

I don't think the SCB are fit for purpose. Or the BSPA for that matter. Won't ever happen but a new governing body and rule book is what British speedway desperately needs.

Great news, will be going to Lynn v Wolves in a couple of weeks when I may not have bothered again this season otherwise!

How can you have R/R for a number eight?

Poole have bigger home advantage, better reserves and more experience of winning Play Off finals than Belle Vue so it's theirs to lose. Think most neutrals will be behind the Aces though. Wolves have a good chance if Woffy returns although their reserves are poor.

Supply and demand, if he wants to come and Wolves want him then great. He will put bums on seats. He's a Wolves asset. Morally nothing wrong with it, and if he stops the south coast mafia winning then even better.
