Lynn certainly missing Pickering tonight.

Ben Cook is a fine young rider.

He's using Josh Pickerings at Lynn so I assume he's still struggling. Seems there aren't enough around, one assumes covid may have prompted some to get a 'proper' job with a guaranteed income.

Emil will probably be ok because he's a class act, but it must be said that Monmore Green is very, very different to Leicester or the Foxhole.

Gooarrrrrnnn Robert

What happened to Pickering practicing Sat with a view to riding Sun & Mon? Panthers to win and Stars to take bonus.

Agree, and I'd pay to watch him over Lawson or Worrall any day of the week.

Two full sides* with no guests or R/R, hallelujah! *at the moment!

Insinuation then! Highly unlikely I'd have thought.

Have heard the same.

No not the Euro meeting If that was the case then fair enough. It's a good general point about having riders there though, people don't want guests and R/R where it can be avoided.

Schedule the meeting for a different date perhaps?

Probably taking shelter from the dust somewhere......

That's quite an accusation.

I think it will be a two point win either way and consequently Poole will go through, just.

Personally I'd always prefer a couple more senior races over half a dozen junior ones, but each to their own.

*minimum of 6 minutes. Anybody would think you didn't want Wednesday to win I think we all accept that refereeing is inconsistent, especially at lower levels, but that shouldn't take away from a fabulous tie. Proper footballing theatre.

Going by the car parks I'd have said there was 1k plus but if you stood and counted them I won't argue Sad to see Iversen and Andersen struggling so much.

Football, bloody hell......

Pretty ordinary racing as per. Ben Cook certainly has something about him, Basso and Hagon also improved as the evening went on. Lawson a big miss for Lynn this season. Klindt great when he gates. KK very impressive not just in front but also looking to team ride with Jakobsen. And I'm just not convinced that Jason Edwards is suited to the Lynn track.

I'll do it if you like. Been a while though, last time wasn't even on a smart phone

I suspect its going to be a case of which teams don't win at Brum this season rather than which teams do.

Redcar did far better than I expected but one wonders if they've thrown the tie away in the last two heats tonight.

I would suggest our youngsters getting experience abroad is anything but pointless.

Hurting your own team wasn't the angle I was coming from really, more the integrity thing. Although I appreciate that ship has long, long since sailed.
