And at Leicester next Saturday at the MDL Championship.

Henning is not a gater therefore I dont think he will be as good as Jan at home.

I dont think Linus would come back; he only came back this season as emergency cover.

Sergey is too old!!

I would also have a fully fit Kauko but I think David Howe is injury prone. Thomas Jorgensen is similar to Jan, he is very inconsistent is best on his own track. I think Cookie will be full time Elite if there is an Elite League next year.

Mick There were 15 heats of speedway which I must admit was not thrilling. order of races was not well organised due to one rider in each race after heat 3 appearing in the next heat therefore a long wait between races. tickets they sold.

I wasn't there but I looked at updates and it appears that the Diamonds riders were generally coming from the back anyway!

From the apex you would have seen it sideways on. I was at the exit of turn two and the space could be clearly seen and edberg did not touch him and there was plenty of space for him. Having said that, I thought the referee was going to exclude Alex.

Anybody know the riding orders yet?

Unfortuately, the route to the play offs blocked with the two meetings against Rye House. Yes we have carried JS and RB but we have been strong enough while AE was fit.

Refs may not be influenced but riders can! Lewis Blackbird was penalised because of him when Leoicester visited early in the season!

But there is a difference between having an opinion and being libellous.

I'm sorry, Robert, but an example of what Massey Harris is saying is the continual telling people that DH has upset someone whenever someone departs from the scene or something goes wrong. If you do not know as a matter of fact that he is at fault, you should not be saying it.

Why do you persist in saying DH has upset people whenever anything goes wrong. With regards to the football pitches and the velodrome, there was no falling out. The people involvbed with the football could not find the funding and the super velodrome built in Derby meant that BCF pulled out of building one at Beaumont Park.

And I wouldn't wonder that some have upset DH as well. You cannot blame anyone unless you clearly know the facts. You should not go by hearsay. No doubt he has upset folk at one time or another.. Have you ever upset someone!!

How do you know it was not Mr Darcy upsetting DH? I dont know what went on; do you?

I didn't enjoy this meeting but I think you were exagerating about the sun break. Yes we had a 15 minute break but the sun was still dazzling us near the 2nd bend when Magnus and his counterpart went out to check the light. Also Sergeant was passed by Aspergren and then he repassed him and was then repassed by Aspergren. This was the best race of the night. The only other "genuine" pass that I recall was by Bjerre in heat 6.

Robert must be having a holiday as he has not been on much recently. Perhaps its because the racing has been better recently (except for The Pride of the Midlands)

So what is the full line up for Saturday?

Auty was definitely announced as being second but you are probably right about why the placings were as such.

Why was Auty awarded 2nd place in heat 11 when his team mate went over the line before him - not that it would have made any difference to the final score.

Does anyone know the official line ups for this meeting - no guessing please!!

Surely you would not deny the man a bit of possible glory.

Weren't the back protectors introduced around that time?

We need one solid reserve in case we get a situation like last night at Workington where Alex had to have seven rides with the problem that Magnus had.
