Do you not think he knew he was out?

In other words he would have been too weak to call their bluff. In any case I'd have thought it would be in their interests for him to be racing more often than once a week.

Maybe but Poland don't 'allow' or prevent a British rider from riding in their own county's league(s). Maybe they discouraged it and he was to weak to argue.

What's your definition of the term 'bottled?'

Poland have decided its OK?

Nope.

Thomson rather than Cook I'd imagine.

I really don't like the phrase 'bottled', I always prefer to give credit to the team who fought back. What Wolves needed was their number one to step up in heats 13 & 15 to see the match out but he was unable to do so.

Looking forward to seeing the video of the superheat somewhere soon!

I have sympathy with the Longtrack thing it's a completely different sport IMO and he shouldn't be missing speedway fixtures for that, nor should any kind of facility be granted. The problem with today is that teams can rearrange meetings willy nilly because guests are handed out like confetti, if it was R/R or a junior then I suspect they wouldn't have accepted the booking. Chris Harris is and aways was racing in Germany or wherever today, as with the majority of speedway's issues the problem lies with the system and the governance of the sport. It all needs tightening up massively.

This meeting was only arranged six days ago so you can hardly blame Harris for being elsewhere. Whether he should be in the qualifier or not is up for debate but if he was asked/qualified then you can't blame him for accepting. Good for him that he's still ambitious in the twighlight of his career. I expect he has his eye on the SWC and why shouldn't he?

He won't be in the team for the next home meeting.

Wouldn't disagree with that, I guess the issue is getting Pickering back in once he's fit with how averages work. It's five weeks since Josh got injured so by now it would be reasonable to force Lynn to sign somebody whether that be permanent or temporary to take his place. Not being able to redeclare with an injured rider included would be common sense.

If Pickering goes to fifth in the averages then he needs replacing even iffir just 28 days as R/R won't cover him at all. Mountain and Laguta for KK and Jorgensen would be good changes. I get the argument about winning at home not away but it would be nice to at least be competitive on the road.

Looking at a photo on Twitter it seems Douglas hasn't got a Lynn body colour on, did they forget to take one for him? Dreadful.

Daft for him to risk it tonight, clearly hasn't had a practice. If they didn't think he would be able to last the distance tonight they should have booked a guest. What a shambles of a season this has been once again.

I really, really hope Jorgensen is the other one leaving. Perhaps that explains his performance tonight. Absolutely awful.

Same old shoite away from home, thank Christ its the last meeting for this line up. Pickering clearly not fit.

Why is it terrible? Seems its going to be Monday going by Laguta's social media.

Yep makes us stronger but I don't like it, should be R/R.

Maximums But I take your point and yes, maybe. That'd be nice. Although I'd winder why it took getting sacked to extractegoid performances if so.

Which is why guests and their excessive and prolonged use are such a bad idea.

Presumably at least two Lynn riders know they are out after tonight so will be interesting to see if they aren't giving 100%, although will we notice the difference from other away matches this season? Also I have my doubts about Pickering's fitness. All adds up to a comfy 55-35 or thereabouts. Artem can't arrive soon enough.

Not sure hence the word could He got 13 at Peterborough on Monday, he is inconsistent. But from memory he's usually half decent at Poole and I reckon he'd have got more than 4.

Could have been really close had MPT been there. Fair play Scunny.
