Worrall, on his slug bikes, just gated and won. Jorgensen couldn’t beat him. Point proven again. At least Lynn won’t get 60 which looked easy for them earlier. And looking at the last two meeting wenstill won on aggregate!

And its true. Gate and go. Lambert passes and Proctor made one but the rest seem to be mistakes like Kurtz and Riss lifting. All chasing no passing. Not complaining just pointing out its gate and go and Lynn have outgated us. If you don’t gate you don’t win. Unless you are Lambert. Edit I take that back. kurtz just gated and Lambert couldn’t get near. Point proven.

Gaters track. Kings Lynn have mullered us out of the starts. Read updates. First 8 heats were virtually all reading Lynn gate, Lynn gate, Lynn gate again etc.

Somerset are clearly title favourites. After tonight Belle Vue and Poole making up the numbers. Kings Lynn on a roll.

Kings Lynn are doing a job on us, simple as that. They are up for it and we went into the meeting not bothered. Top spot wasn’t in reach after the loss at Swindon. It really is as simple as that.

Glad I didn’t go! Lol!

Disagree, we would have made sure Klindt was there if we really wanted to win it. He topped scored last time. Doesn’t change our position, and we will go to Somerset in the semis. Kings Lynn to Belle Vue.

For one team it means nothing, for the other a must win. All gate and go again. No Klindt to gate and score. No big deal.

Thing is the result really is not that important for us. We are in the playoffs and won’t finish top so its a practice session to be honest.

Klindt missing a big loss - Ford. Also says Lynn won’t pick us in the semis. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/16604084.kings-lynn-would-not-pick-pirates-in-semi-final-says-ford/

What a complete numpty you are.

Clearly shows it. Strange that it only appeared in heat 15 and wasn’t noticeable earlier on. Certainly not where we sit in the grandstand. Luckily Doyle the only person affected. For the past two weeks Stuart Dickson has been on holiday so the track should get back to where it was on his return. Or a better idea. Put some more holes in strategic places around the track, cover with fine netting just strong enough to put a sprinkling of shale over the top, then get the trackman to show our boys exactly where they are to dodge them. Within a few heats the opposition will be all knackered out of the meeting and we win 65-25.

The champs are either Somerset or Poole. If they meet in the semi final, the winner of that will win the final.

Kasper just couldn’t get off the starts last night. Chased shadows. Matt could have got Klindt at Lynn tomorrow but decided not to bother, as this meeting is a dead rubber for Poole and it would probably have cost a fee to his Danish club. We are not going to finish top and are in the playoffs so the result is not important to us. It is for Kings Lynn who need the points to finish top. I think the result will be around 50-40. Klindt will be missed as he is on very good form and his gating is the best in the league, bar perhaps Doyle. It was so good last night the ref called it back and he got a warning when in truth it was just a perfect start. Most important tomorrow is for the Poole guys to play around with set ups in case we go there in the playoffs.

Perhaps Kings Lynn can use Brady Kurtz as a guest.

No team will pick Poole in the semi. They want to make the final. I believe we are good enough to make the final against any of the other three, and if we do we could easily go on and win it. No real weak links and still have two strong reserves with Worrall and Jakobsen. The team we ride against in the semi will need to be at their best to beat us over two legs.

If a reserve is missing from a meeting the team go with 6 riders and three heats are run with only one rider. R/r is never for reserves.

What’s this big punchup then? Being hushed up?

Of course we are good enough. No team is head and shoulders but if we click together we will win it. I don’t fear any othe team in the playoffs at all.

How the hell did Wolves win that? Should have been a cake walk for Belle Vue. Whoever finishes top will be heading straight to Manchester in the semis first leg.

Poole’s track was not great yesterday either. But there was no “hole”, no sure where that rumour has come from. Yes not much passing though there was more than last night. The Poole track got dusty around heat 8-9 but track watering after heat 10 sorted it. At Blunsdon last night Worrall, a mobile chicane all day, happily sat safely in front of faster riders knowing he wasn’t going to be passed. Morris made no impression when behind. A couple of seasons ago he would have come charging through. The track is completely clapped out with a promotion not willing to spend a penny knowing it would be a total waste of money. Trouble is it will be the same again next year probably.

Guests can be used for reserves as r/r doesn’t work.

Now that Allen is out for the season I guess Gary May will be using horses for courses for the rest of the season.

We have Wolves at home next week. Nailed on win.

Just got back from the gating comp. Well done Swindon for gating better. Gates 1 and 3 a massive advantage, so much so that Brennan gated in heat 2 and no matter how the Poole boys tried they couldn’t pass. Harris was doing all he could but went backwards. A few points of minor interest. Morris got it all wrong and binned it in heat 7. No one near him. Ref said all 4 back. Farcical. Batchelor got a roller and the ref let it go. Poor. Absolutely rubbish meeting racing wise. Not sure if the track was purposely set up like that or is the norm. Dire fodder in front of. Decent sized crowd. The good news is that we are in the playoffs regardless of whatever results now happen. Swindon are out, or not likely to make it. I fancy our chances. Stuart Dickson is back next week to do the track, and how the riders want it. I think we can beat any of the three others over 2 legs. As for tonight really so little to say it was such a poor advert for the sport.
