No I don't know him and clearly in retrospect I should not have said anything on here. I was not trying to be antagonistic or offensive at all but people are afraid to speak up on such matters. I am glad he is doing something about it like I did and wish him well.

Sorry if I have offended. It was most certainly not my intention. But a major problem is always people too afraid to speak up. My initial post was certainly not taking the P. I was told to lose weight by several people and did so. The benefits in being told and acting on the honest advice have improved my life ten fold. I am not going to get into a slanging match with anyone over this. I was told by my doctor that part of the problem is people are too afraid to speak up for fear of offending, when it is far better to offend than lose someone and regret not speaking after it is too late. Thats all I have to say on the matter. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

He did but don't think tonight or tomorrows league tally he might get will reflect on what he will score at Monmore. A missed flight on Monday wouldn't be a bad thing.

I am not some saddo to go through all Wolves away meetings this season and last, but I bet I would find quite a few occassions where Thorsell has scored 5 or less away from Monmore. While he can be unbeatable at Monmore, he is mostly disappointing on his travels.

The guy collapsed in the pits with a reported stress related condition. So no one should say anything and the guy dies, then people say, well he was very large. No one is taking the P. If I smoked and someone said those fags will kill you I wouldn't take offence. I would know they would. But when someone is clearly overweight some people seem afraid to mention it. I went up to over 100kg a few years ago. I was Fat. Now I am a much better and healthier 84kg. Telling someone they are obese and should do something about it is not wrong. His mates should encourage him to get fit.

People who are hugely obese are at risk of death at an early age. It brings on stress, heart conditions and a multitude of other health issues. Sorry but its a fact. He has probably been told by doctors and should do something about it for his own wellbeing.

Thorsell really is becoming a one track pony. Looks unbeatable at Monmore but let his team down very badly tonight. Been doing it on a regular occurance in Wolves travels. James Shanes passed him and held him off at Poole earlier this season. Thorsell always looks like he could break through to be a top rider. But never does. And on Monday he will probably score 14 or 15.

Klindt is injured, quite seriously. Certainly seriously enough to not be riding. He needs an operation but seems in denial at the moment. All his clubs have dropped him because of his injury and I believe he wanted to give it a go this evening as he was proud of himself, quite rightly, to have qualified. Hopefully he will now have his op and start to get back his fitness and confidence for 2018.

There is bound to be passing at Monmore Monday. Some of our lads wobbling around and being picked off easily. KK who rode well tonight in the SEC on a fast track will look like a junior as lesser riders who are dialled in like Howarth will sail past. That's the massive home track advantage of Monmore.

Been some cracking racing at Poole this year. Its a thoroughly entertaining race track. Belle Vue and Somerset are better imo, but I visit every track in the league at least once every season and Poole is better than most. Its down to personal taste and opinion. We are lucky we see riders pass inside and out on every bend. No hiding place. Plenty of passing most meetings. When you read tracks like Leicester and Now Kings Lynn have virtually no passing in a meeting after the first bend it shows how lucky we are.

Rather than make an assumption that isn't true, perhaps you should come down and actually watch a meeting live. Poole V Swindon on Wednesday should be a good one. Track was pretty good against Lynn. Much smoother and plenty of passing. And no wobbling about from any riders. In general racing at Poole is far superior from anything Monmore could throw up. An opinion of course but if Monmore was my local club I would probably have gone to speedway about twice in my life.

Racing at Poole has been in general good this year. Yes it was bad against bv on tv but much better on Wednesday. Always loads of passing on a fast circuit. Only tracks better in the top flight are BV and Somerset in my opinion. Wolves might be smooth but I couldn't watch that every week. Wobbleway. I have been to Monmore dozens of times and am just not a fan of the track. There's passing but mostly away riders having a wobble or locking up. Prefer proper speedway with the throttle open. Only track worse is Leicester, which has hardly any passing. Its all down to personal taste. Wolves fans like Monmore. I prefer tracks with speed and therefore BV, Somerset and Poole. Swindon can be good at times as well.

51-39ish. Not near a point around this little trick track.

Looking at photos of him, he isn't exactly the picture of health. He needs to lose a kilo or 20. Being obese certainly doesn't help blood pressure and stress.

Pretty sure we will have someone a bit better replacing KK.

Lahti has improved since his Eastbourne days and should be a decent replacement for Nicolai.

Good post PBB. People try to read something that just isn't there. We now have Gavan blatantly lying on here to try and score some pathetic point. He is part of speedways problem. Never adds a penny to the coffers by attending but quick to critisize. Mind you his uncle did bung a tenner over the fence to Mark Loram once.

Oh dear here I am in London about to head home and thought I would take a look, and keith m continues to bore up the thread along withe the headless troll Gavan!

So Batchelor rides tonight. What a remarkable recovery he has made in just a few hours. Even a simple wrist sprain would take several days to heal. The guys a charlatan. Just glad the IRR rides didn't stop Poole picking up the 4 points.

I told you last week to stop lying, yet here you are again lying. Stop lying. I never said Lambert hit someone. So stop lying Gavan.

I never said Lambert punched a fan. Read my post. What a shame I am not about tomorrow. Best bit of fun on here for a while. Nighty night!

Well I have enjoyed this thread immensely this evening. Over the top we are all doomed posts, Gavan completely losing it, rider super strops, the lot. Oh and 4 juicy points. Happy days! Nighty night!

Soft in the head more like. Truth be told the Kings Lynn team only thought they had to turn up to pick up the win. And when they started to get beat completely lost it in more ways than one.

Yes he did a very good job tonight and covered for Brady well. 4 big fat juicy points.

It would be up to Buster whether he sacks Holder for withholding his services. Doubt that will happen. Seems the whinging disease is spreading through all the Aussies.
