Word on the street is that the chap doing the Lynn fan's view has done it before. Its a shame they couldn't seek out somebody different, seems like a bit of a closed shop.

Or Worrall on Friday night, piddling about at Edinburgh when he should have turned out for Swindon at Lakeside.

No surprise to me, Embra look a very useful side once again. Can see Worrall having a very good year in all three leagues and Cook should average over eleven with bonuses, won't drop many points at all home or away.

Nail on head Ben. There are no squads, just lots of guests which is far from ideal. But for westhamboy to suggest that PL teams should always get priority is silly. He has mentioned Kennett and Ellis while making his point and I'm afraid they are both EL assets 'on loan' to the PL and there are plenty of others like them. Kennett, Lambert and Starke should all have been at Eastbourne last night racing in an official fixture. If the Eastie/Brum match was a challenge and/or the PL matches were not then they should all be riding for their PL teams. A challenge shouldn't ever take priority.

Thanks. By your promoters?

How did you guys get your reviews published, were you approached or did you have to 'apply'?

I'll ask you for the third time, how are EL teams using squads?

Skin left on battered fish is a Norfolk thing too! Bootiful

When trying to be funny you really must make sure you proof read your posts #fail

Contradictory regulations? Surely not

Don't blame Somerset at all especially as Morris was in the team originally but you'd like to think that Proctor will be compensated by the Rebels for his outlay.

Jacobs in for Starke. Thoughts?

I remember a cracking meeting in 1996 when Wolves came to the EoES, P'boro tore into them early doors but Wolves fought back well and Mikael Karlsson (Max) ended up beating Sullivan in a run off for the bonus point when it really should have been Crump nominated. That was the night Crump won all his races apart from one where he was excluded for falling when trying to split M Karlsson and George Stancl. He walked back to the pits in a huff and removed Stancl's cut out when many thought he may lamp him one

Victory music! Do they all have nicknames too

Definitely an advantage for an away side to catch a home team completely cold. Not to take anything away from Rye's performance of course .

Probably a demonstration that its not a good idea to go into a competitive home match completely cold. Going to take a few meetings for a completely new team to get used to their new home track but they still look one of the stronger sides in the PL to me. Rye could certainly shock a few.

Lynn and Ipswich was one of the fiercest in the sport, particularly on Good Friday with home & away clashes. Been on hold since 2002 though and for some reason the Lynn and P'boro clashes were never quite as tense despite it being a geographically closer rivalry.

Got to be Schrammy

Heard some really good things today on the Lynn terraces from people in the know about how well the Lewis' are being treated and looked after in the north east. Hoping to see some hefty scores from them for both you guys and us this season, two very talented and down to earth young men.

I don't think anyone is claiming to be an expert, merely commenting on what they see on paper. Its not personal, and you need to learn to take it on the chin when your team isn't fancied. Who knows, you may be able to stick two fingers up to everyone come October.

Sheffield.

Plus they a had four rides more often than not and the number ones only met in heat 1.

Looks the weakest on paper but who knows? If Newman, Davies, Jensen or Kalle can explode into a genuine second heat leader things may be different.

Exactly. Our third tier needs more rookies and fifteen year olds. I applaud Rob Godfrey & Sunny for what they are doing.

Its what we should be working towards though, each third tier club having one experienced rider and six rookies. Not going to happen overnight but with a 3-5 year plan and better opportunities for U15's it can happen. If clubs like Dudley & Mildenhall want to load their team with PL riders then they should be competing in that league rather than scrapping out a two horse race every year in the NL.
