If it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all. No Jorgensen, no Mikkel B, and no Smoggie Bear!!!! (Can we get a guest for Smoggie)

Not sure of averages ect, but guests assume the average of the rider they are replacing.

Disappointing night, At the start of the season I thought we had a decent team, not firing yet. I like Kus but doesn't seem to be on it. Wholesale changes don't need to be made, but I agree Kus and Pijper could be the ones to go, although give them a little longer. MBA and Stewart are worth sticking with I think. Re Garrity incident, don't think it was the move Barker made , but the gesture as he crossed the line. However Garrity was well out of order with his reaction, hope a big fine ensued. Also not sure how JBA got excluded, there was a clash, (6 of one half a dozen of the other) but Garrity fell sometime after they touched.

For the first time for a long time, excited about the start of the season. Track looked good at P&P, The lads who have ridden have shown they are competitive from the start, can't wait. Also lots of changes at the track to make it look a lot better, all good.

Didn't seem to be much average lowering v Kings lynn??

Looking good so far!!!! 46-32!!

Good outsider, David Bellego.

Just an observation, but It's strange how weak teams, Redcar, Scunny, ect all seem to have fair track with no home track advantage, were as strong teams like Somerset have a home track advantage!!

I don't understand why the Buxton team manager should be held responsible for this, surely Carr should be responsible for coming out on a bike with no chain guard, this is a safety item, therefore the bike could be deemed unsafe. You can't ignore rules just because it's NL and not EL.

I feel strangely optimistic about this match, I think the bears could edge it.

Surely this will seriously affect attendance capacity numbers for the 4's week end?

Shelby had an argument, with the starting gate, think it was a draw, the gate got bent and Shelby got a few cuts and bruises, he was well enough to take a selfie with the paramedic in the ambulance, so I think he'll be good to go lol.

Brave man lol.

Can't see it was a sensible decision to exclude Kus?? Or not to put all 4 back in heat one??

Heat 1 Osergaad took Bjerre down, should have been all 4 back, Bjerre excluded, heat 15 Otergaad takes Bjerre out, ref excluded Kus twice?? (put the white light on, then took it off and then put it back on), then decided it was Bjerre to be excluded, I'm not one for knocking refs, but how much notice was she taking if she can exclude Kus, then decide to exclude Bjerre, for me she was a total homer ref!!

How could Konopka have avoided the crash??Konopka didn't move off his line Bates had his arm on Konpkas shoulder, and quite clearly pushed him down, this was both stupid and dangerous!! I can understand Jack Lee defending his rider when being interviewed, but I hope he had a quite word with him, he has lots of potential, but is reckless at times.

To be honest I didn't know much about Ben Morley. but reading some of the comments, I'm looking forward to seeing him round the STMP, it should suit him, might be a better season Than I hoped!!!

Ben Morely is the new signing, Good luck, hope he has a good year.

Has the rule that riders don't get paid for a third place bonus point been changed?

Wonder if Kozza will get a permit??

He may have agreed a 2 year deal with Berwick, but did Redcar agree a 2 year loan deal?

Surely, the owning club should be asked first if the rider is available for loan, before agreeing terms with the rider. It's the owning clubs prerogative to use one of their own assets. In this case I think Mr Havvy is getting some unfair flack. Also, the rider can refuse to sign if he wants to ride for another club. Even though Havvy said the only way Matty could leave would be on a full transfer, if push came to shove money from a loan deal is better than no money at all!

Must have missed it in the 27 pages lol, glad speedway is such a simple sport!!!

Somerset's 6 rider averages, = 37.52, add Holders '5.00' = 42.52, Holder won't even fit on a 5,???

Don't forget Skiddy!!
