Play offs can throw anything up. Massive, massive advantage for Lynn though. I'd go Worrall/Fricke/Bellego/Tungate for Craig's rides. Steve seems to be starting meetings better than hes finishing them currently. Hopefully if Rohan is on it then heat 13 wont be so bad. Huge underdogs now. Hopefully that will spur on the boys.

Congratulations kings Lynn. Not even a contest now.

It's been said on Twitter no break. Cant remember who said it now, but Craig liked the tweet. Although its Twitter so anything goes.

Apparently nothing is broken, which looking at that picture, is a minor miracle.

Etheridge guests for Riss. Cook is listed but I'd say doubtful. Otherwise unchanged.

That wrist will stiffen up a treat overnight. I want him to race but only if he's only 100% fit. He needs to think of the team before himself on this one. I know it means a lot to him but that doesn't matter here

Batchelor is very good round the nss and doesn't particularly get along with kl. Simple choice. Gutted for Craig but honestly I dont think it will have that much impact.

He did lift but that just adds to the theatre. All good races have different things that make them special. He was under so much pressure it forced the mistake. That race was better than last week. The TV production and the live factor made that race last week what it was, but last night was better. They were all in the race and literally you could throw a blanket over all 4 of them. Agree with the other poster about cook. I actually think he's got progressively better this season and as poor as he's been in the GP I think we are now actually seeing the benifit of it for Craig. He's becoming more aggressive and his last interview on SGP alludes to this. He's racing the track, not the riders now. Shame. I think this season is going to hurt him over the next couple of seasons.

That was better than last week. At some point every rider had the lead during that race and every rider was essentially at the back as well. BV/Somerset do seem to enjoy each others company. Well done to them on the win. I have a sneaky feeling BV are going to do KL after last night.

Surprised by the result. Perhaps the lack of experience in this environment proved pivotal for Somerset. All over bar the shouting.

They have but we've been weakened with injury in some of those meetings. Again they get to race us not at full strength. Bewley is a huge miss but it'll be extra motivation for the team.

They were and rightly so. I'll never advocate it. As stupid as the rules are, they are not there to be broken. Certain clubs are seasoned at finding loopholes because there are so many of them. This year perhaps BV have got a bit lucky, but we deserve a bit of that for persistently following the guidelines.

You should give credit when credit is due. Your defense is weak. You know as well as the rest of us, including your fellow Poole fans, that you have an issue with the NSS. Why is beyond me. Its one of the best things to happen to British speedway in donkeys years. Unfortunately it won't matter a jot in the grand scheme.

He can't handle the fact that something is better than his beloved Poole. It's a sad mindset.

Different promotion. Its not in bvs dna to cheat, which is why floodgate was called out so easily because its not something we do. Poole on the other hand are seasoned cheats so know the system.

You need to leave it Steve. Your making wild assumptions without any foundation. He has been involved in a series of crashes recently and isn't fit to race. It's as simple as that.

The rule says you can use guests for someone withholding their services. There is no cheating at all here. Bottom line is it won't make barely any difference. BV won't get passed KL.

We won't be signing anybody. We will be using guests.

Steve he is injured. Look at his scores over the last month. He isn't the same rider. Please don't put BV in the same category as Poole. We don't cheat.

The last few weeks he’s been struggling for form and confidence. He was doing okay at the start of the season and to be honest, he was scoring more points away than Jye was since he signed for us. Given his form though this is possibly going to make B.V stronger.

So what’s the deal with Riss then? Gone back to Germany so withholding services. I would assume it’s guests up to his average

For whatever the reason may have been, every single team made at least 1 change. It's practically impossible to make anything like a close prediction when that happens. That said KL still surprised me.

Also cook was a real bulldog in that race. He got in the face of both Somerset riders which meant they had to ride defensive and that gave max the run and room he needed.

It's very subjective. Imo that heat 13 was the best I've witnessed. I say that because all 4 riders were involved throughout the entire race. At any given point, any of them could have taken the lead. I'm also glad that Phil has highlighted that Max hit the same bit of dirt that Doyle did which also killed his momentum. Had fricke not hit that he would have passed sooner than he did.

It's odd in the extreme. He lives in a Poole bubble and can't accept that something out there is better in every facet. It's really sad.
