Wha happened to Kasprzak in heat 6?

In fairness he had a pretty poor 2022 all round, he already looks like a different rider this season. Very shrewd signing for a month.

Not strange, he'll be doing 28 days rather than 200+.

This probably looks like the best solution, not sure who else will come.

I think Lynn are having an incredibly tough start to the season, both matches are/have been away and I think they are our two hardest away tracks taking into account standard of opposition, the make up if the side and traditional results. I'll be far more optimistic at BV, Ippo, P'boro & Leicester. Keeping it close tonight is one thing, winning at home in the second leg against this Sheffield side will be quite another! I'm looking for encouraging signs this evening, improvement from Monday and hopefully something near to 40 points.

If Pedersen packs it in after half a lap I'd be incredibly disappointed in him, I thought he had more about him than that.

Quite right, forgive me. Should have read other six tracks or other five away tracks, was in two minds and made a pigs ear of it

Really enjoyed that, the racing improved after a slow start. A fair bit of rustiness on show but a competitive meeting with the cream rising to the top in the later stages. Always a great speedway experience and night out at the NSS.

I think the rain has to take most of the blame, if it'd been a drier month then MPT and KK would have ridden in the original staging of the Peter Craven, Lynn would have had practice on P&P day and would have had a meeting last Thursday at home. I expect last night would have been closer with all those taking place but essentially you can almost write off Lynn's two visits to Wolves every year as we are traditionally so poor there, its a unique track which thankfully only accounts for two out of our 24 league matches so just have to forget that one and make sure we do better from now on. The other six away tracks should be much more suited to the Lynn team.

Not entirely unexpected but at least we scraped enough points to have a theoretical chance of the bonus point. Never great to go into a league match without any kind of practice or warm up meeting but it is what it is. Hope for better on Thursday at Owlerton.

The most important think and great to hear. If they keep that up I might even be tempted to venture over at some point.

Nail on head. At least Nicholls doesn't race for another team in this league I guess.

Very tight meeting, could even be a draw.

I quite like the ones with the darker breasts,the issue as always is different manufacturers meaning different colour shades. Wouldn't matter if they were Mr Blobby pink with yellow spots as long as they all match!

This is where things go wrong in the UK IMO, if 28 day facilities are going to be handed out then why extend them as surely a new signing if required could be found within that time? Personally I wouldn't grant Scunny with one anyway (ie NL guest) as its a non speedway injury. All top five absences should be R/R, guests only once multiple riders are unavailable. Guests really do need minimising if not stamping out. As for the meeting anything within ten will be a good result, even though Wolves don't look great we rarely go well there, almost a bogey track.

2016 was the first night cock up at the NSS was it not?

I can't count, make that ten of the line up who are non Championship Looking forward to it.

Cheers pal

Is it still possible to pay cash to get into the South Stand?

Half the field don't ride in our second division! So nope

Indeed, Coventry 2010 springs immediately to mind

Spot on. As it turned out I expect they could have raced today but one extra meaty shower (which were forecast) would have meant riders and supporters not fancying it and less takings. The risk is just too great nowadays which is a great shame when you get a lovely evening in the end.

That was Lynn's first season back in the top flight.

Yep twice, scoring 12 both times. Pretty sure the first match was his debut.
