i've got a dodgy back, wonder if she is free on Saturday at BenFund :-)

Going on the amount of info coming out of the Norfolk Arena you've probably already missed it

Agreed Swindon seem to have a made a big mess with this, taking the p*** out of theirs and Somerset fans....but Lynn shouldn't have been stupid enough to want to use Doyle in the first place either. P*** up and brewery springs to mind..

Sorry to lose Rambo, but understand the need for the change, and Wilko will do us good. Was impressed when he stepped in last season, should have scored more than he did, but overrode once in a good position. A good run in the team and that could be an astute switch.

Phil I presume...

What should have been issued WHEN Troy was injured was that he was believed to have broken his arm and that an update would be issued when the full extent of his injuries were known. Then we wouldn't all be trying to second guess what was occurring on the other side of the globe.... We could have even had an update that he was going into hospital on such and such a date. Doesn't take much to communicate... Rob's comment was clearly a poor attempt to cover up the Stars inability to communicate this over the last couple of weeks...

That would make a cracking team and we'd look forward to some excellent racing at the NA. Failing that, now we've plumped for a different race night, NKI changes his mind and signs on the dotted line. Or I win a million or two on the lottery and build a new stadium near Norwich... More likely to see a pig fly than any of these happen

Exactly, all this discussion on here trying to blame one party or the other is probably all a load of tosh. As far as we know from what has been said, all parties seem to have been aware of the situation and I suspect it's been an amicable move all round, albeit disappointing from a Star management and supporters point of view...even Lewis may be disappointed the way this has eventually panned out. What's happened, has happened...time for us all to move on. Roll on 7.45 tomorrow - assume that's a.m. not p.m. ? P.S. Just for clarity a.m. and p.m. are NOT riders initials :-)

and all this could be avoided if EL move to fixed race nights (Thurs/Fri?) and PL avoided those days. May a cause a bit of pain to start with, but long term would be for the benefit of the sport. But when did the 'promoters 'ever do anything for the long term future of our sport?

Lambert is a good start. I expect Schlein to follow, no doubt we'll end up with Porsing as well. As for the final two - who knows...but Mads would be a good call? Shame we missed out on Sam Masters and Jacob Thorsell - would have both been good additions

Like it - it's no worse than the stupid rules the BSPA come up with. Still open to abuse though - I bet Matt Ford would get all his intended riders to go on diet before signing...and what happens in 2017 when a riders weight goes up - presume he will have a rolling fat average to apply to team building ​

Yeah but with limited options, on a low average, and less heat leader quality riders around to beat him maybe he is worth a punt after all? Maybe I'm forgetting how poor he looked last season as it's now a distant memory as winter well and truly sets in. Having said that, hoping Buster has something better up his sleeve.

h Ryan fisher...good call....oh sorry, maybe not

Gutted to miss NKI next season. But if this team fits I'd be happy... Vaculik Schlein Lambert Mads Batchelor Pretty solid all round top 5

Hmm...trying to work this out. BT website is not particularly clear. I'm a BT broadband customer (not infinity as I live in the a**e end of nowhere). I only want to be able to watch GP's on my PC either real time or catch up. As far as I can tell I have to pay a one-off £49 to get a BT view box and can then throw it away and just watch via my PC. Seems excessive. Bit more investigation required...

Quest is a sister channel to Eurosport, so presume same owners (not sure) Anyway, any news on this (hoping it's not Sky)

So Bjerre has posted a Union Jack flag and question mark on twitter. Assume that means he knows he is surplus to requirements at Lynn...relief all round after last year

Agree...got to be 2 nights for EL and the other 5 nights for PL...then double up and down issues of fixture clashes goes away. Chosen properly (Weds & Thurs?) it should also help limit riders excursions to Poland, Sweden, etc conflicting with EL

Rory has tweeted he intends to ride again in 2016. Hope its the right decision. Whatever points he gets on the track, and no doubt it'll be slow to begin with, he'll be worth a few more in the pits.

Batch has looked very average this year in GPs and his two visits to Kings Lynn - where he is normally a sure fire bet for a big score. Is he still struggling injuries wise?

Errr......would certainly be an 'entertaining' team!

We'd need a rider or two on a low average with Iversen, Lambert and Doyle in the team...maybe thats why Bjerre has been getting his average down...or he's just been plain cr@p most of the time

Agree on both counts. Jason was a very able replacement for NKI. I know nothing rested on the result but was good to finish on a high with a good entertaining match. Plenty of interviews, riders doing laps of honour, Buster on the mike saying it how it is, heats going through at a good pace (until the heats that had falls). Shame the season is now ending - all meetings should be like that! Good to see Lewis as well.

lot of dead heats though.... Last meeting for the Stars then

any official team news yet or will that be cloak and dagger and issued at last minute due to NKI and Kildemands absence?
