If there was a grain of truth in this story, why would Kings Lynn want to swop one of the hottest properties in world speedway, with his whole career in front of him? I'm not sure where Robert lives now, but Jason lives not far from me on the outskirts of Norwich, so very easy travelling to Saddlebow Road. I really can't believe this story but who knows, in this crazy sport of ours, anything is possible!

At last, a sensible outcome for both teams! Lets hope the Final lives up to expectations. Its very unfortunate, that it came down to using guests for both Poole and Kings Lynn, I'm sure we would have all been happier had we both had our normal line ups. Sadly injuries are part of the sports downside, but I guess we just have to live with that. Now lets all look forward to two great meetings, no injuries, and may the best team win (as long as its Kings Lynn!)

"we don't even know why Iversen isn't riding as he hasn't been injured." Well I watched the crash, and it looked pretty nasty to me. If he wasn't injured he wouldn't have been taken to hospital. Not all injuries are obvious, I tweaked my back a few days ago gardening, and I'm still suffering, I should think Neils is black and blue after that, and it probably didn't do his existing shoulder injury any good either!

Fabulous meeting, I really enjoyed that. Heat 13 was the best race I have seen for years, a great advert for the sport, but so much to do with the design of the track which allows passing in so many places. I've always been a "flat out round the boards" sort of guy, so its just a shame I don't live nearer Belle Vue. Congratulations to all involved and I hope Doyle was OK after that nasty looking spill.

Its a pity BT Sport are not covering this match tonight, as I think it will be a close one. I don't suppose Radio WM are doing a commentary either? Hoping for a Stars win, or at least a point, but with Neils blowing a bit hot and cold and Simon Lambert at reserve who never seems to do much at any away track, I'm really not sure what will happen.

Its been raining all morning here in Norwich, and looking at the rainfall radar, probably the same at Kings Lynn. The rain is moving away now out to sea so should be OK for tonight. Natural watering should make for a good racing surface tonight.

Natalie Quirk confirmed BT are covering the Leicester v Kings Lynn match tomorrow, when she was interviewed at the Moto GP meeting at Silverstone this afternoon. She was having a chat with Suzi Perry and gave us a lovely plug for Speedway. Sadly the Moto GP was cancelled due to the rain, I'm sure we all know the feeling!

That's confusing, the BT Sport programme planner on their web site, says its Leicester v Kings Lynn, and above that info it shows the team logos of Wolves and Belle Vue! Doh....

Yes it is strange, where the least people stand, is the best reception. Where I usually stand between the first & second bend, the score board is behind me and I don't get a very clear view of it at an acute angle, also the times etc are only on the screen for a moment, and I always miss them! The whole PA system needs an overhaul in my opinion, but that costs money and we know the path that leads us.....

The speakers have been useless for years Trees. Too far apart, and not enough of them especially around the 1st/2nd bend area where they have to compete with bikes warming up in the pits. They also point at a strange angle away from some spectators, and I must admit I have been tempted to get a leg up the fence when no one is watching and "reposition" them!

Well I was going to this double header, but its the same old story, so I'll keep my money in my pocket thank you.

Thanks for the weather updates Baldy & Mike, looks like we are in for a good one tonight.

Is there anybody in the Lynn area, that could give a weather update please? Looking on the rainfall radar, there is no rain to speak of heading that way, and with a strong breeze any showers should clear quickly. In the Norwich area (at 3-30pm) its cloudy with hazy sun, strong breeze and no rain for a few hours now, lets hope its the same for Saddlebow Rd.

One point of concern was the big lump of brick which came off the track on the first bend as riders went past . If it had hit someone it could of been nasty. Could have been very nasty. Several years ago I got hit by a lump of shale in the very same spot on the first bend, fortunately I had just looked down at my programme and it hit me a glancing blow on the bridge of my nose, missing my eye by a couple of centimetres. It drew blood but could have been a lot worse. I usually raise my programme to deflect any possible missiles, but a moments inattention cost me. Who remembers those clear plastic programme boards from years ago, maybe I should make myself one!

Once again nothing on the Stars web site. Promises...promises.... Mr Brundle asleep behind his desk perhaps? Poole sign Chris Harris, we sign...Simon Lambert (again) yes I know its only a temporary thing but really, where has the ambition of this club gone? Bottom of the League with a miserable 12 points, once again it looks as if we will struggle along until the bitter end and then all the promises of a wonderful team for NEXT season will emerge. All sounds very familiar, doesn't it?

A remarkable result would be if Robin Brundle could influence the visa issues and enable the club to re-sign Chris Holder. He is hungry now and would be well, " coming home" I nearly choked on my Cornflakes when I read that! After everything that went on, and was said by all the parties concerned, Holder slagging Buster and Lynn off, and Buster messing up Holders chances to sign for another Club, do you honestly think there is a cat in hells chance of that happening? He may be on good form at the moment, but I wouldn't want him in the Stars colours again as a matter of principal.

Your wish has been granted!

If we had some Columbian riders, they could headbutt their way to the front!

And Michael Palm Toft is missing again, because..........? And I thought this season was going to be different, silly me.

What a great report! You really painted a great picture of events last night. Thanks.

We now find Kasper Andersen is suspended from British racing, having deemed to have concussion, yet cleared by a GP the next day to race in Denmark on Wednesday! Words fail me. Its not the Managements fault, but if I was in their shoes, he would be out of the door, and replaced with a young British rider. Surely we can't do any worse?

Palm Toft scores 17 for Peterborough tonight, whilst the Stars are thrashed at Swindon, and the Management wonder why the fans are hacked off!

Am I the only Lynn fan who is getting totally hacked off at the Stars fielding an "All Stars" team at most matches? (pardon the pun) We hardly ever get the team we were promised at the start of the season, there is always somebody, riding in Denmark, or riding for their Championship Club or R/R I can accept having a rider injured, its unfortunate and can't be planned for, but there really is no excuse for what has been happening lately with riders missing. I started this season full of enthusiasm, but that soon went down the toilet!

Pretty hacked off about the team line up tonight. R/R and two guests, so much for all the team bonding before the start of the season, we only have half the team there!

Isn't Manzerez injured? Had his arm in a sling on TV.
