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?

If we make the play-offs we'll get hammered at home against Poole as well as away with the way we are riding at the moment. Almost hope BV put us out of our misery against Wolves. But you never know, stay positive....

Thanks for trying to make us depressed Stars fans feel better....it's not working

Reserves made the difference again Stars 6 - Lions 14. Although Wilco deserved more for his efforts. Rob dropped a bit of one in heat 6 - until that point Thorsell was only star looking like scoring other than NKI so should have given him a tactical while we had a chance, although guess he thought Bomber would win and that race then give it to NKI. Those extra 3 points would have made a difference.... Generally though Stars achilles heal of not being able to gate made the difference through most of the meeting as it was gate and go and hang on... Thought Leicester would run us close but not bl00dy win :-( We've still got a mathematical chance of play offs, but hopes are fading fast, but with this lot we'll get no further than the semi's anyway

maybe we can just run races 10 to 15 as we've already done the first 9......

forecast is talking about light showers, locally heavy with possible thunder...as long as local don't mean AFA i'll be happy!

edit : may be able to make it now.... hope weather plays ball. Gotta make most of it as not many more meetings left..

Bit of a late call.....guess there'll be about 10 spectators in the stadium...I sure as hell can't make it at such short notice :-( Hope BV lose at Wolverhampton tonight and Stars win on Tues then we don't need to worry about Swindon...

True...not thought of it like that

where are the track covers when you need them - supposed to be a pleasant afternoon/evening. Nothing to do with NKI being unavailable, obviously (he says cynically) :-)

True, but if they'd raced earlier with no rain off's the season would be finished, bar the play-offs by the start of August, then everyone would moan the fixtures finished too early. Rock and a hard place. Think the real issue is the timing of play offs - takes out 4 weeks of the season and to complete when weather is hopefully reasonable it has to start mid-September. home and away legs should run same week - i.e. Monday and Wednesday, so play-offs compress to 2 weeks....

I wasn't there but apparently track was ok-ish at 7pm. It was the 7.15pm downpour that killed it, and that wasn't forecast....can't blame Buster for that. If only we'd ridden heat 10 a few weeks ago...
