But one it seems they had to make. “Commitment issues” clearly aimed at Ellis, and going by his last outing I guess they had no choice but to make changes.

We did, but even with our weak bottom end I’m not sure we’ll see paid 28 from the Lynn reserves again! They scored paid 11 between them when we won comfortably there a couple of weeks ago, even having the luxury of not putting Emil in heat 15 either. Every meeting is different though and it all depends on what the sides look like regarding personnel on the day.

As others have said, this was always down as a 3 point home win and changes nothing. Leicester won’t be winning at Wolves or the new Peterborough side, so they’re now relying on Lynn to do them a favour and beat Ipswich at home.

Then use R/R. Or slacken the rules slightly and allow two team changes whilst replacing an injured rider for a little more wiggle room. Even last years rules were better in not allowing changes once the league was under way except for a brief mid season window. Nothing will ever be perfect but it’s better than an end of season transfer frenzy just before the play offs by desperate promoters trying everything they can to gain some sort of advantage. Surely you want your team in the play offs to at least look something like the side that’s spent all year getting you there?

You as well? Think loads of us bombarded him with tweets the last few weeks telling him to sign him up

And then Emil to show him the fastest way around the Showground

Will be interesting to see how Ashton Boughen tackles the showground. Will this be on Radio Cambridgeshire?

It’s not that deep, Steve. Nevermind.

Because you’re one of those involved in the Hokey Cokey?

Kerr can only replace King upwards.

No.

Said this many times, the pre-season prediction threads are utterly pointless. The league winners will be who can be the most crafty and wheel and deal the best moves just before the play offs. They have to stop this sort of stuff from happening it’s a nonsense. If you’ve ballsed up your winter team building TOUGH. You’ve had 6 months to get it right ffs. Only changes that should be permitted during the season is to replace an injured rider.

If they did he’d call that bonkers too and probably did. He doesn’t get blinded by club loyalty or bias.

Come on the majority of us were thinking exactly the same! Just a few were brave enough to say it on here. Easy now to say they were talking guff now Sheffield have won but prior to the meeting I’d guess most were a little suspicious of the outcome and yes, we were wrong. Can hardly blame people for thinking that way when you have a sport here where promotors are telling fibs about broken pit gates to get meetings postponed, Postponing meetings whilst working on a new signing, riders going conveniently missing when they were a match away from attaining a higher average (Jakobson)..(Lynn again who’d have thunk it!!), riders dropping behind team mates to reduce their averages, teams making changes that will be legal but ultimately be over the limit before their next meeting has even taken place, clubs getting their water hoses out to flood the track to get meetings postponed etc etc etc you can go on and on and on. It’s a complete circus ran by con men. You really can’t blame people for being suspicious.

Riss? He’s painfully slow at Speedway at the moment. His reflexes from the tapes are as sharp as ever, but then from the first bend on it’s a desperate battle to hold position.

Wouldn’t fit even if he was available. He’s an assessed 5 and Riss is now sub 5 so wouldn’t fit as a like for like. Swapping them and re-declaring the 1-7 wouldn’t fit under the 39 either. Thought Riss went backwards again on Thursday evening. Was making some electric starts but was then looking tentative and very slow and was swallowed up time and again. Managed to hold on to a paid win in his last, just! He’s been riding better of late and there were positive signs so it was disappointing to see him struggle again Thursday.

I think we both end up on 34 points. We SHOULD beat Lynn away to take us to 34, while Leicester SHOULD beat Lynn at home. Can’t see Leicester winning at any of Belle Vue, Wolves or now Peterborough, but unless things go drastically wrong, they should pick up 2 bonus points from Belle Vue and Peterborough putting them also on 34. Is it the “for and against” column that then decides who finishes above who? Because that’s also incredibly tight as it stands. Ipswich +32 Leicester +30

Potent.

Leicester have to go to the Showground still, that’s handy. Cheers fellas

Foxhall is one of Richie’s better away tracks.

If anything it’s been the opposite. More than once they’ve had to work on the track this season to try and slicken it off and make it easier to ride. Still say we’ve produced the race of the season this year in the Premiership! That heat 13 against Sheffield literally took my breath away. Looked good on the telly box, but watching it live in the back straight stand was something else.

Abysmal. Him and the season long struggle with the Riss situation are the two reason’s we’re not in the play offs. Nothing to do with King whatsoever.

Would be good to get the win if anything just to keep the interest bubbling along til the last fixtures. Even for the neutrals! Lose Monday and Thursdays home fixture against Leicester becomes a dead rubber. Think we’ll get close actually, Riss can sometimes ride Wolves well and he’s finally riding himself back in to a bit of form. He’s the crucial rider here for me.
