Woooo...hooooo - cracking result for the stars

Good choice!

Hope Ty is fit, will need him for two of Kerr's rides and probably one of Simon Lambert's. Anything S Lambert scores will be a bonus

Hope that's not the case. Seems to happen every year, goes pear shaped due injuries or holder-gate, then we seem to give up cos it's too hard or expensive to sort properly. Or we just continue with poor performing riders too long. We'll never win the league at this rate :-(

As its 28 day I was assuming it then allows Kasper back after a month. I guess in the scheme of things Simon isn't too bad a replacement, but had hoped for better. Getting the right rider for number 2 position is now quite crucial....

With the way Somerset, Swindon, Belle Vue are going it's going to be tough to make the playoffs. Need decent replacements for Kerr and Anderson now. The silence from the stars camp is deafening. Can't muddle on with guests or r/r for any matches really. Its bad enough with the Danish clashes. Not sure who the right riders are, but S Lambert or any other has bean is not the answer.

I know the answer is probably no, but would Harris or Nichols fit with a 3 pointer in place of Kasper? Don't think r/r over the long term is a good option with out two scoring reserves. Think we need to get replacement/s asap. Not sure of Kerr's prognosis, but can't imagine he'll be back this season.

You and me both. That was horrible to see and I have to say I feared the worst. Couldn't really get that far from my mind on the long drive home. Then to wake up this morning and seeing his tweet of him being ok with 'just' a broken shoulder was nothing short of remarkable.

Dale tweeted 3 hours ago that Lewis has spiral fracture of left leg. Kasper has severe concussion and broken shoulder.

What a rubbish way to have to end tonight. Bad enough for Lewis to be injured, but then that awful crash for Kasper. Very best wishes to them both. P.S. sort that bloody roving mike out. Even when it works can only hear mike man, but riders are impossible to hear.

Should have enough on the tank to win this. Anyone seen official new averages? Where does MPT sit average wise so who can take his r/r rides?

Proctor at reserve will be useful...and he hadn't been too bad until his injury. Its a bit of a luxury with one of our reserves always being pretty decent, guess that's down to a well structured team. With NKI seemingly turned a corner we just need to get Kasper going or replaced and we could be fairly invincible as long as we can field a full team for every match

Don't what racing you've been watching, but it's been very good this season. Big improvement on last few seasons. Last week was poor, but that was down to the away team rather than the track.

Hope the stars get revenge for our defeat at home a few weeks ago. Reckon it's a good possibility, although not sure about Clegg at reserve, think Anderson was likely to get a few points (but not many). An MPT special will be good. Any news on Kerr who missed his championship match due to a family emergency?

Be interesting how Morley goes, Might be worth a permanent spot if he performs well? I can't believe how stupid stars management are either. We've a cracking team this year (mostly) but to run Wednesday nights and a team full of Danes it was always going to be difficult. :-(

For all you doom merchants on here looked a fairly decent cowd tonight. Didn't seem any worse than any other 'school night' match. Thoroughly professional job by the stars against a woeful rockets team. Hopefully can start pushing on again, but even before Kasper's fall he was struggling, really not sure how much longer we can we can give him before looking at other options. Surely there must be better 4 pointers out there.

That's a bit harsh. Its certainly better than last season, and started off fairly well this season, but is very hit and miss now

After a promising start to the season, with Niels time out, few injuries and illness and Danish fixture clashes it's all gone a bit pear shaped. Need to get a good win on Monday to get the season going again, or it's gonna end up like every other season, starts off promising and ends up a damp squib... No team news yet?! Shouldn't be hard with no fixture clashes!

On the plus side for me, that should mean the overnight closure from Swaffham to Kings Lynn should be finished. Highways people wouldn't be THAT stupid would they?!

Exactly. Marked difference in attendance during school hols. 9.30 pm finish on a school night makes it a big no no for families on school days. Proves the attendance would be better on Fri or sat nights, but that doesn't work for the way speedway runs at moment. Rock and hard place

You would certainly have expected the stars promotion to be in touch with council or whoever and made a special plan to help get traffic away from the stadium. Simple common sense.... We were stuck on the road outside the stadium, but made an early decision to turn round and go t'other way to get to A47 towards Norwich. Bit twisty turny but ultimately quicker. Cracking match, not sure anyone can get on proctors case, he made gate in his first ride to be pulled back and was leading heat 14 so would have had 2 wins and a reasonable score. We need to get Anderson scoring or look at other options, we can't keep carrying him.

Impossible to call the weather yet, looks like rain will be earlier on Wednesday. Buster produced an excellent track against Leicester once the rain had stopped mid afternoon. Let's not talk this off just yet!

Best racing I've seen at Saddlebow for several seasons. With today's ultra powerful bikes I reckon it's about as good as will get. Better than most tracks again, with obvious exception of new belle Vue which seems awesome. Hoping to get up there one day.

Stars press release says klindt instead of garrity. Not ideal, but least missing riders are due to other commitments on the continent and not another UK team, which makes it easier to explain to Joe public and don't sound quite so stupid. Unfortunately having gone for Wednesday instead of Thursday it limits teams for alternative nights with Danes in particular in their teams. Step in the right direction...maybe they'll get it right next season. Be interesting to see what happens come September when teams still have matches to fit in. Wonder what plan B is...

If Sunday through Wednesday are reserved for poland/Sweden/UK/Denmark, then surely all international meetings should be held on Friday/Saturday so no clashes. What stops these two qualifiers being on Saturday. Why do the FIM not consider the league, which are essentially creating the quality riders they need.
