And the worst thing about it all is that it's such a waste of a warm, summer August Thursday with the kids off school and holiday makers galore in the vicinity.

Completely agree.

You feel it would have been well within ten with Wright.

Lawson not much of a rocket in heat 1

Rightly or wrongly I suspect there is some leeway being given here because Buster is playing a hand he wasn't dealt at a table he wasn't supposed to be playing at.

I don't think this is comparable though.....they've gone to the BSPL/Phil Morris and sought permission to postpone. I'd agree with Ipswich being awarded the points if that's what had been decided, but at the same time season ticket holders and the riders themselves (particularly those on fat guarantees) lose out. Sanctions had to happen in order to deter clubs doing it in the future. I think the chances are miniscule but if Lynn were to win the restating then Ippo would have every right to be mightily peed off. Definitely feel that there is something we're not being told as one guest and R/R isn't enough to cancel. But it's pretty clear we've never been told the truth about Laguta's absences.

Where has this 'Rocketman' guff come from

Steve Worrall is a gater so he could ruin a few coupons at Cardiff, good for him.

If every Lynn rider showed the effort, commitment, desire and application of Simon Lambert we'd be a much better side.

I've seen some good stuff at Armadale and other tight tracks, and this bloke is obviously talking squit (is it cabbageman?) but if you want to earn big money in Poland or get somewhere in the GP you really need to be a 'throttle junkie', in fact I'd say there are probably riders who have spent too long on little tracks and blown their potential. Also its possible to learn bike skills on big fast tracks.

The asset thing is a load of cobblers. Teams getting transfer ans loan fees shouldn't happen. As for Boughen, you can't blame him for steering clear of Lynn, the club is a dog's breakfast.

Because they came 1st and 3rd last time they rode in it perhaps? And their Extraliga averages suggest that they would 'do good'. Nobody else 'fails', they are just unfortunate to be in the GP at the same time as arguably the greatest speedway rider ever. He can win as many as he likes until he retires (injury permitting) IMO.

I don't expect Emil or Artem to come back next year and win it but they might give Zmarzlik something to think about at least. He is so much better than anyone else that the series is a bit boring, there is no jeopardy. I'd say the same if he was British, Danish or Outer Mongolian.

Proper speedway on a proper speedway track.

Do we really want to see passes due to holes, ruts, bumps and berms though?

Would be good to see the Klindt/King incident as the two non Ipswich fans who have commented on it have suggested that it might not be the open and shut case we have been led to believe. Klindt isn't the type of ruder to fence people but also King doesn't tend to go for gaps which aren't there.

Bailey should have been there. Hopefully Boughen explodes onto the scene as expected, we've got Luke Harrison and Ace Pjiper at 16 too, need to be getting them over in Poland ASAP , the next couple of seasons for them are crucial. Other than that it's slim pickings.

In my experience what riders think is a good track and what supporters do can differ greatly.

I suspect there is far more going on behind the scenes than we will ever be privy to.

On a positive note I think Klindt deserves a lot of credit for his performances this season in an awful team, after a slow start and since taking on the captaincy he's been excellent and is rider of the year by a mile and not just because he's the last man standing from the start of the season As for Artem, he's been a massive disappointment and doesn't seem to have the right attitude for racing over here. I'm sure there are various other factors but if you don't give 100% you aren't going to succeed.

At least none of the guests are with teams involved at the top of the table.

There will be plenty like you unfortunately. The club needs a complete reset; a new promoter, new team, new track surface, the lot. Whether that will happen remains to be seen but I have my doubts.

Hmmmm not sure Oxford are a 'two man team' whe Kerr is also averaging over eight. Bit disrespectful to Jenkins too. Couldn't see anyone doing Poole over two legs but perhaps Oxford can when it really matters.

I expect the surface at P'boro is like nothing he has ever experienced before, the kid has talent so after a meeting to settle in and sort his set up you'd expect t him to be better, maybe not to the tune of a dozen points though!

He's dropped one point away from home in a match which you only won by four points.....I think he deserves a lot of credit.
