Surely Lewis Rose will be at Newcastle on Sunday?

Dryml's might be if you give him more than two official fixtures to get going. Just like you are giving Proctor. As an aside one or two people have commented on him shutting off in the first turn, that's how he's been since he nearly died on the track at Oxford, he won't change now. But if he can get his bikes and gating sorted he'll score some decent points IMO, particularly at home.

Yet you chastise people for criticising Proctor's dreadful start to the season? Dear me.

That was aimed at Marksman, came out with a very stevebrum-like comment. You must have posted a millisecond before me!

I'd say at least half a dozen competitive fixtures.

Why can't Dudley use Monmore for PL?

Nail on head

GPs for me but I think 6-8 would be plenty. There are too many now IMO, although perfectly understandable why.

Perhaps they did, but it seems that the Panthers had to come from the back in both runnings of the final heat so maybe it wasn't fortunate but hard earned. Wonder where Starman is telling Rebels fans that Gary May won't let them down

The Foxhole would be full of freeloaders every Thursday night

Are you stevebrum?

Looks like Aspegren should have been 15 but then again Allen & Morris had just done the business in heat 13.

Would need it to be translated into English from Naaarfolk

As others have said, there must be some way of compromising and equalling team strengths up a little. Some kind of rider control so that each team has a couple of the best riders and at least three 3 pointers....Mildenhall and Dudley will still end up with the strongest sides but at least team strengths will be a bit more uniform. If Sunny still wanted to go with five rookies they could but at least they would have two top men who could compete anywhere with any other heat leader. As it stands we have a situation where the two top clubs have three heat leaders stronger than many number ones and with the best second strings and reserves too that can't be good for the NL. Equally Buxton & Scunny getting marmalised everywhere they go is no good either, sons middle ground needs to be found.

I think we'll all have a better idea after the two away matches this week, Plymouth look poor.

I think Dryml will end up averaging around seven.....he'll score pretty well at home and not so well away. Agree about Lasse, the predicted breakthrough has never materialised and he hasn't really progressed much since his first full season in 2011. In fact he performed better for us in the EL that year than he did in a few appearances last season.

Well done the Lewis'

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
