Unfortunately, the spoon was almost definitely coming to lynn when they lost at home to Peterborough. Hopefully this years team sheet will be ripped up, burnt, and buried at sea.If we have to suffer another season of " premiership " speedway , the only riders worthy of a place in my opinion are Klindt and Rowe. I'm off to get my tin hat and await the flak

Belle vue is the national speedway stadium ,and the best track in the country ,so the final is probably in the right place Sadly the sport has evolved in such a way that lightweight riders benefit more, unlike" back in the day" when riders built like briggo were world champions , there's not much we can do about that. If the British final could be run on a Saturday night so more fans could travel I'm sure it would be better attended . As for u21 winner,I think the reward should be a place in the British final, with a total of maybe 8 seeded and the rest from semi finals,to give more riders a chance of pulling off a shock

Spot on. Birmingham perhaps?

I think you are right, and the crowd levels at the semis and race off would suggest the same

I think that " back in the day " the no1's only met once, in heat one, and apart from 1and 3 or 2 and 4 there was no restriction on gate position, so nearly always picked the best gate .This made quite a difference to averages too

Course he is.Polish extraliga rider on a 5 average, same as Fred was , but Fred didn't work out,but that's not the point. Emil Breum has been signed as an asset to replace Kye Thomson who through no fault of his own is struggling in the main body of the team averaging 3ish and comes with a loan fee!

Shame your rich but apparently tight fisted sponsor didn't see fit to pay out for a no1 then isnt it. Laguta was brought in by Alex Brady before he left.You got a 5pt Tarasenko( basically a ringer but that happens everywhere) , yours worked out, fred Ericsson didn't,and now lynn have signed a youngster with a view to the future.

Do riders not get start money and points money anymore?

No justification for what?

Add to the fact if Buster signed a new rider for the Panthers, any potential new owner probably wouldn't want to pay for their contract anyway !

You could well be right, but for what its worth i think the racing was as close or closer than most meetings and so was the result .Lamberts first 4 races he didn't ride very well and went too wide letting others pass,but Anders Rowe looked sharp early on and Kye Thompson looked more on the pace as well.The biggest let down in my opinion wasn't the track it was Thomas Jorgensen, and his score was probably the biggest single contributing factor to us losing last night, that and NK nearly being fenced, but I won't go on about that

Yes he did.You could see him lining his victim up half a lap before.He is one rider I would have loved to see do a season as a star.

Sorry for nearly ramming your back wheel!

I think not having that outside line was a blessing to be honest.Usually once the dirt is out wide thats it,flat out round the boards and no other line to use.Whoever gets to the fence first is away and gone. Speaking of fences, Mr Fricke gave Nk a pretty close look at it! I would have put that move on the dirty side of hard racing.

Hope Rooboy is ok after his "off" at oxford

This is why the rising star system should have been kept in the championship rather than the Premiership, the step up into the main team wouldn't have been so great

Well said Chris,at last someone recognises that although Buster may not be everyone's cup of tea, he has done a lot of good, and tried to do more .Its frustrating as a lynn supporter to see us struggle so badly,but the man has right royally been dumped in the rubbish this season and still kept the club running

Won't be wasting my money on this one.I can only see a mauling from the tigers what with lewi, turncoat pickering, Holder and Museilac only being bothered by Artem and possibly Klindt. I hope I'm proven wrong but I can't see it somehow. I'll save my £25 for monday

There is a lot of truth in your last paragraph. I've had this conversation with my mate, and if one of us doesn't go, the other probably won't unless we know there is going to be another of our dwindling group going. Little niggles, like tractor racing, not being able to hear the tannoy after being fobbed off for literally years , consistently making the track inconsistent for the first few heats, seeing the same away team 2 weeks on the trot, getting thrashed home and away,all these and more are sucking the fun out of going,to the point where I am starting to pick snd choose and I've been going to speedway since the early 70's.

Well that was embarrassing

Its Harsh on Jason Edwards but he has really struggled at home this season .hopefully we'll see him again as a Star. Jury's out on Simon Lambert as far as I'm concerned, he's having a good season but the tail now looks a bit long

Longterm I think the latter needs to be the answer. Bring on the youngsters with the Bombers, Danny King, Charles Wright type of British rider as the" top"stars .Basically start from the bottom up.You can't put a roof on a house if there's no walls, you can't build walls without a foundation.

If the rumour about being offered reduced rates at lynn are true ,who can blame him? Gutted

I would. Pretty much the first thing he said after Alex quit was " the team is over budget"

Umm, perhaps its because Alex Brady has stepped down completely, Dale Allitt is / was in hospital.When Buster was quoted as being promoter in name only, he was. Facts straight. Get Them
