Stefan in for Jacobs, should satisfy the Cradley fans' need to have a good boo and hiss anyway, bless 'em.

Lambert refused the fast track offer. No doubt he had had more than one EL offer to ride in a top five so why would he agree to £40 per point?

That's fair enough, didn't realise that. Seems a shame to penalise a young Britt but rules are rules and nothing should be more important than that.

Seems like somebody on the MC doesn't want the Diamonds to strengthen up too much. Self interest rules once again! Can't see how its not in the best interests of the sport to allow our best prospect to race over here more often at sixteen years old. Interestingly it would seem that racing in Germany, which was the best thing since sliced bread a few weeks ago, would presumably have been knocked on the head had this move home through.

He is saying it is the strongest team that could have been picked and that the future does look rosy

They look a very decent outfit now.

The key is for Rosco to pick the best four we have available OR commit to blooding three youngsters alongside Tai. Last year the selection represented neither really. We ain't going to win the thing but if the strongest side is selected we have to be beating USA and Latvia this year.

GB team named for this meeting also featuring the Aussies, Czechs & the hosts Germany: Kyle Howarth © Jason Garrity Adam Ellis Robert Lambert Interesting that Whizzer has included Lambert after he refused the British U21 final and has overlooked U21 Champ Bates, but I think he has ended up with the strongest team possible for the event.

Nice wide entries and exits to the bends, a decent amount of dirt watered just the right amount, a smooth surface well prepared and maintained during the meeting and usually two well matched teams containing riders who will fight to the flag.

Because it's the best racetrack in the UK.

Where do MK ride their meetings?

But probably not if Rosen was fit, just for a bit of balance.

Think that particular meeting was Good Friday 2000, Gollob went round Adams and Crump to secure a draw and we won 50-40 in the evening.

Unlucky Adam, great experience though no doubt. Well done Niklas!

So pointless that you've commented on it though. We weren't much liked in our PL days, mainly due I think to our often enormous home wins (don't miss those) and JC getting on people's wicks. Used to enjoy the rivalry with Rye House and all the Lynn fans congregating in the first bend at Hoddesdon.

Best track - Peterborough with an honourable mention for Trelawny. Worst track - Eastbourne, just too narrow and tight. Eurgh. Best food - Mildenhall fish & chips. Not been for several years but they were always top notch. Worst food - Stoke without a doubt Best facilities etc. - Probably Brum for amenities but for viewing I always loved the back straight at Newport. Odsal was of course awesome viewing. Worst - Lakeside before they allowed people on the back straight of the stock car track. Numerous crap facilities in the sport, worst view now probably Brum.

It should be about finding some middle ground for the good of the NL as a competition. Cradley are too strong and Scunny too weak, there has to be a compromise.

In his, ours and their interests for him to get it sorted ASAP I'd have thought. Would imagine he'll be at the NA most of tomorrow getting things ironed out.

Never mind before the next Newcastle meeting, he needs to sort it before tomorrow night!

Poor prep or bad luck? Lewis usually has immaculate kit so I'd say its the latter, and the fact it's happened thrice suggests that it's an issue they can't get to the bottom of. Lewis Rose excellent again tonight considering his inexperience. Brilliant race there in heat 13, EoES is the best track in the UK for me when it's well prepared like this evening.

Its a good, open, honest and balanced piece by Puk. Good for him.

Never said I was a know all, just giving an opinion on a speedway forum about a speedway team if that's OK with you! Plymouth have performed pretty well since my comment so well done to them, but I'll still be surprised if they aren't in the lower reaches of the PL come Sept/Oct.
