As Waco says - A smallish crowd - no doubt correct. Yet read the meeting report on Kents Website it says - the` faithful packing the Main Stand` ????? Better go to Spec Savers !

Ben Basford comes in again ? Outclassed big time last week. Glad I have given up going now.

Simple. Kent Kings need you back and take the Club forward. It has/is going backwards as far as I am concerned. Great Stadium - but poor track,badly run meetings and we hear nothing from owner Mr Cearns. Such a shame.

Agree about Mr Silver. The way his entourage treated supporters last season (not allowing anyone into pits)I know p****d off fans and some do not go anymore. Crowds are well down this season (unless a certain person comes on and disagrees) and the Club has gone backwards in the 3 years. Mr Cearns is supposed to be in charge,but you never hear anything from him ?? I know it is third tier Speedway but everything is so amateurish - presentation,track,lax the way it is run. Unless the Club show some ambition I will not go anymore.

Kent have got an extension of the curfew for Fridays. When exactly from I do not know and the curfew time. Agree about the track as this has been a problem for a while. A blue groove should NOT appear after a few Heats.

Just shows the professionalism and ambition at the Eagles. Acted fast. Unlike Kent who just bumble along !

My view is that it will be Premier League on a Friday evening. Then again I could be miles off - has been know before - ha ha.

MR CEARNS ARE YOU READING THIS OR IS SOMEONE TELLING HIM THAT THE SITUATION IS NOW A JOKE AT THE CLUB. Please tell supporters what you want for this Club ? Because it cannot just fiddle around in this League for any longer. I have had enough and will not return until there are big changes.

You are right and just another example of the poor state of Kent Speedway. It was just - Oh by the way we have reached curfew - goodbye everybody see you next week ???????????????????/

Well said and that was the last straw for me. Hope Mason is OK. The referee was a joke - how was Morley chucked for first bend bunching when Bradley Wilson was taking him wide and into the fence ? Then he throws out Ayres for not being under power after throwing out Andrews ? Meeting was over as a contest (the whole tie ) after 2 Heats. Eastbourne are a streak ahead of Kent and the Kings are now an embarrassment. You can predict nearly every Heat - Kent are that bad. The track is rubbish - no dirt and no overtaking. Shanes is the one bright spark but as meeting goes on he suffers. Such a shame a great venue has a team NOT worth watching.

All ex-Kings riders get good receptions.

I thought that Smith was still injured ? I maybe wrong. You are right that Eagles are not so good away,but Kent will not be able to take a big enough (if any) lead to Eastbourne.

That is the nature of the National League.There is very few if any riders you can bring in when things are not going well. Unlike the Elite League when you can bring in riders from abroad and have lots of choice. Unless you are Eastbourne and bring in a New Zealander - I am only joking.

It is going to need Kent`s top 4 to really fire tonight for Kings to take any sort of lead into the second leg. A real baptism of fire for Ben Bansford and Couzins and Verge need to step up their performances or more changes will happen. I can only see Eagles going into Final.

Unless Kent bring in a World beater (not going to happen)its going to be an easy Eagles stroll into the Final.

Quite right.We have seen NP do this lots of times and it looks like he done it once too many as far as Grinner is concerned.

I did not go last night (I have missed 4 out of last 5)as I am just getting/got really hacked off with Speedway/Kent. Speedway - Guests,long meetings,lack of professionalism,bad tracks,bad referees,etc etc etc. Kent - To me a non event for Kent last night (and it showed with another poor performance),without Shanes entertainment gone,carrying 3 riders,going to finish near bottom of League,bottom of Trophy and going no further in KOC. And the way last night finished (what was going on in last Heat?)I very much doubt if I will bother again this season. But I must say well done Kent for consistency - April, 4 fixtures - FOUR DEFEATS. May,6 fixtures - 4 wins,2 draws. June,5 fixtures - FIVE DEFEATS.

I am sure glad you saw no crashes. And you would of seen a lot more entertainment than the farce at Coventry.

So Shanes is also injured so Kent CANNOT win ??? Hope he is OK. Well done Coventry for producing another crap track.

I noticed that as well. All a bit strange ???????

Just on a different subject. Where has the Danish Tourist fixture for Kent gone ? On Kent site the Laurels is back on July 13 ? I think K Lynn and Mildenhall are also supposed to race against them

That is what I thought. So there is only 6 Russian Riders in the World ?

Smith has come in to replace Sheppard. As is usual when a team has R/R they also name a NO 8 - Hoskins. He may get a ride. I fear a heavy defeat something like 56-36.

You are right it does not say if Smith is a permanent change ? I guess it is as you could not just try someone and then ditch him. As I have said it would have been better to introduce Smith v Rye House where he could have got some points. Will do well to trouble the scorers tonight.

Fair enough for making a change. But I would have waited until Monday. I fear a hell of a beating tonight.
