Excellent point for the Young Stars, shame they couldn't hold on for the win but heats 13 & 15 always looked tough.

R/R for Newman gives the Young Stars a chance

I think this issue has arisen on here before, surely if an emergency occurs an ambulance will attend that? Or was it a case of crossed wires with the booking of it?

Makes you realise how tough the Polish league is when riders like Holder, Bjerre, Kolodziej and Harris run lasts.

I thought it was pretty decent too, perhaps not as good as last year but decent. Didn't see anything wrong with Pedersen's first bend, was a bit of class off the awful gate one. Bjerre wasted a great opportunity having had first choice of gates in his semi, looked really quick during his heats too. Well done to Hancock, would prefer to see some new faces winning GP's but all credit to him

Looked much better in this week's second half at Lynn, can't gate by the look of it but was all over the leader in all three of his heats. Quick and stylish.

Sounds good to me chaps! Perhaps next Wednesday

good to meet you too screamer. Might even be tempted to come watch the EL side on the back straight one night to sample the atmosphere!

Saw Heeps last night in the second half at Lynn, looks a tidy little rider although perhaps the weight of expectation being placed on his shoulders by aljack with regards to the Witches next year might be a little unrealistic.

Pretty dull fayre last night I thought with only two or three decent heats but thats taking nothing away from the Saints who were fantastic and deserve huge credit for the way they discover and develop their youngsters. They still would have won with Nielsen (why on earth did he not get 4 rides?) and Greenwood riding instead of a 27 year old guest and R/R and if it was the rules that prevented this happening they need sorting. Would love to see the Saints win the NL title as their side is what the league at this level should be about.

You going tonight mate? I might wander round and introduce myself if so

Where did screamer's post go Not having a go at Scunny at all by the way in any of my posts, or the Young Stars for that matter, I just think the rules could be a bit more development friendly. No disrespect at all to Barrie Evans who is an entertaining rider at this level but he's unlikely to go much further in the sport so it would surely be better to get Stefan in the side and put one of the Saint's PL contingent at number one. I very much hope that both Stefan and Adam Kirby get the four R/R rides each.

Great Yarmouth FC still called by that nickname!

Why not just put the two number 8's in instead of R/R? Seems daft.

And I be that going rate goes straight out of the window in many cases.

I don't personally believe that R/R should be permitted in the NL if another rider is available, it should be about giving young lads the chance to ride.

Young Stars should presumably be 1 Kyle Hughes 2 Ollie Rayson 3 Lewis Kerr / RR 4 Jake Knight 5 James Cockle 6 Scott Campos 7 Tom Stokes And the Saints I guess 1 Cooper 2 Birks 3 Worrall 4 Worrall 5 Irving 6 Wrathall 7 Nielsen Thoughts?

It always amuses me when people complain about car parking.....if you go to any event anywhere and you park your car in an area with lots of other cars and there are only a couple of ways out of that car park you are going to have to wait, simple physics. Either leave a little earlier to beat the rush, stay late to let it clear or be content to get in a queue and tough it out!

Planning to hoping for an Eastbourne-esque performance rather than a Lakeside like one

I'm not judging any set of fans in particular, I'm pretty sure that every track has an element of its support who can mouth off and come out with unnecessary stuff. I'm all for banter but sometimes it can go OTT, I've experienced it over the years when we've ridden against Ipswich, P'boro, Mildenhall and Rye in particular and its been Lynn fans just as often as opposition supporters who have been out of order.

I wasn't, it was a general point really. I've seen enough unacceptable behaviour over the twenty five odd years I've been going to speedway to know what some speedway fans can be like, and there is no excuse for it.

Grown adults who act like hooligans when they go to speedway need to grow up, whatever team they support.

A reprieve for the Brits! EDIT they're underway again, fingers out lads!
