I don't think that his problems are physical , it's more off the track and track mechanical issues that's the biggest problem

Well that was a lot easier than I'd expected , in a previous post I'd guessed that score would about the same as last week , looks like I got that wrong . Ipswich where poor apart from King , the rear are barely wort a mention l was very dissapointed with Barker he seems to be going backwards ATM . Good start from Gappmier , he looks very tidy need to see him a few more times though and also see what he's like away from home against tougher opposition . Captain Kevs ride in ht 12 gets my nomination for ride of the season it was an excellent piece of team ridding

That's beauty of watching a GP on playback the fast forward button on my Sky-Plus remote comes in handy

Ipswich have been a bit of a bogey team in recent seasons , but I still fancy Berwick to win by about the same margin as they did against The Monarchs last Saturday

Kauko Nieminen , the Bandit that never was , can't really see him pulling on the Black Gold race jeacket now

I thought his continental commitments ruled out

I'm sure some of our more " senior " members will be able to confirm it but wasn't the qualifying for the British final held over several rounds at one time , with the top 16 riders going through to the final itself ?

Yes , it's just like a rider being excluded / disqualified from the rerun of a stopped heat , it's not heir fault that their opponents are short handed

Atkin & Armstrong are only racing in the NL though , they're not looking to top up their earnings with a few easy points , NL clubs should be limited to one rider "older" rider per team it's not as if Hall is a youngster is it ?

IMHO it doesn't matter what Richards average is he shouldn't be allowed to ride in the NL because that's not why the league was set up , It's not supposed to be a fall back for riders who can't get a team in the PL it supposed to be about promoting youth nd getting them some expierence .

After his display tonight lets hope that Richard Hall stays unattached

In some cases that maybe should be Brain Cleaner

Too many passengers in the Bandits team this afternoon , need to have all 7 riders scoring against a team like The Tigers

The Heathens will be getting bigger crowds than some of the PL clubs

Good solid team performance , big thanks to Simon Lambert for guesting onwards and upwards to Glasgow this afternoon and hopefully another good away showing

Not enough

Need a group of plucky volunteers to put them down , preferably tonight , also it has to stop raining no later than roughly 6:30 pm to alow racing to begin

Bringing back Alex Edberg would be the wrong move and a pretty desperate one too IMHO . We need a reserve who can take 5 maybe 6 rides in a meeting ,is Alex that guy ?

What happens when you hear it from a guy in Tescos , who heard from a guy at work who was told by someone else ?

Aye , and it's not steak mince either , just a load of old dross .

As there's not a great deal of their usual Friday / Saturday night sport to show at this time of year ( no football or rugby etc) added to the fact that they have 5 dedicated sports chanells I can see no real reason why they would prefer a Monday night

Be great if this was held on a Saturday evening and given stand alone status . That would make it more accessible to fans who can't travel to Manchester on a Monday night , not all of us can justify taking two days off work for a speedway meaning it would also make far more family friendly

Won't know why they let Kerr go if Barker was unavailable , I suspect he accepted the guest booking before he agreed terms with Ipswich

PC & Mort plus a few more others will be able to name would be he exeception to that rule

Ben Barker signs for The Witches , Lewis Kerr now looking for a club
