Yep, Kye will be glad he get the first one out of the way. Last week Alex had the track prepared as 6 of the riders had asked for, so 'm not sure what we will get Thursday.

Thanks. Alex is pretty new to all of this, and is learning on the job, as they say. He certainly wants the Stars to be successful, and is putting his money where his mouth, as the saying goes. This season isn't working out, so far. As you know we have replaced KK with a world class rider in Laguta, which is great. But he has no one to back him up.. We were built to be a solid team, with a very strong reserve. All our middle order riders needed to have a good season for it to have worked out., but so far they have been pretty poor.

It's the second tough home test for the Stars in a row at this Thursday. Considering it was his first time on track, Artem did OK in his first meeting last week against Holder, Toby, and Co. This week he isn't going to get it any easier with Bewley and Kurtz in town. But I'm confident he will put up a great show, now he has had a meeting under his belt. But he will need plenty of support from his team mates, unlike last time out, if the Stars are going to get anything from this meeting. Dan and Brady are enough, but then you've got Wright who is averaging 8.60 away from the NSS so far this season, and Lidsey who is going well, not forgetting Blodorn at reserve. Time for Messrs, TJ, Nicolai, Freddy, and MPT to step up to the plate and give Artem some much needed support come Thursday. Thoughts, predictions anyone ?

Ippo's team average is 38.30. That's without the BV match last night. So not easy once Emil's ave takes effect.

Craig Boyce.. I think he had Face?

Now the sponsor money has apparently been paid, i can see Zagar heading your way. I think he might be the cheaper of the 2 mentioned.

Wright -2 over Rew, odds hove been slashed from 1.75 to 1.66. I got on it still @1.66. Best bet tonight i think. Main bet And Emil over 12 plus ex. Gambling on him having 6 rides. I can see Ippo's middle order struggling tonight.

Zagar 7.20 Dudek 8.00 Russian 5.00 Tungate 6.61? Basso 6.09 NKI 6.77 Cook 5.41 37.08 or 37.88 with Dudek Would still leave you with points to play with. Ideally take NKI out for Dudek, i know, i know ... but it would make a decent team

It's not quiet the same for Toby. It's hard to compare the two. He missed a few years over here, but he finished 2019 on 6.21 and is currently on 8.24. So is deffo on the up. He's a real trier, and i'd welcome him at Lynn

Richard came on a 5.64 and left us after 2 seasons on 7.71. He could well be the most improved rider in the league over those 2 seasons.

How do you account for his form at Lynn this season. Is it not we are crap.

I swear at it, any refuse to feed it sometimes

Just watching the meeting back. Freddie said in the interview before the meeting.. "People keep slagging us off for not winning to much.But if we win tonight and the next one we are back in the mix" it did go a little further, but nothing much. Some do look at social media it seems.

Your not doing it for a bite though. Your peed off because people are laughing at you..

I agree he did. But from a 5 pointer, he looked like he had a 650 out there. He's never been like that in all his years at Lynn. Some of that must be down to how poor Lynn was.

It's been over 10 years since we dominated the 2nd tier. I'd imagine the bikes are more powerful now, with the power higher up in the rev range, possibly making it even harder to ride a grippy track these days. Plus we don't know if the shale has changed to a degree (different supplier maybe). The starts are so important here as we all know. Just look at the previous meeting against Boro. We trapped and did the same to them as Sheffield did to us. Ideally we need a change of shale, but we ain't getting that with the bangers in town. I very much doubt if its practical to have 2 types of shale, but that would mean re laying the track before and after every banger meeting.. With good access to the track, i'd have them practicing to try and sharpen them up a bit.. We need to do something. It's easy enough to see where our problems lie, apart from the track.. TJ starting av 6.35, up unitil now 5.14 (away 3.47) Klindt ... 7.39 .. now so far 5.00 (away 4.75) Freddie 5.14 but we know it was a 7 now on 5.41 And Josh was struggling in his 3 meetings before his injury 6.14 to 4.36 . I know it's only 3 meetings, but it shows how badly we have started as a team this season. I'm not saying replace them all , just highlighting the problem we have to try and solve..

I know he ain't cheap. i couldn't attend, but the crowd looked poor on TV. I was put right by Telboy, who was there. Hope the fans keep turning up for Alex, who i think is a breath of fresh air for the club. . I'm sure he is more miffed off than the fans about last night. We were so slow out of the starts.

Don't know why you quoted me. But i agree.

I was expecting an extra 1000 , so nearer to 2,000 for this one Tel.

Really looked poor on TV.

I did my back repairing an exercise bike late afternoon.. I could of made it more glamorous... Watched on Tv and the crowd looked the same as last week Tel.

Nice comment from someone that wont accept my PM i think,,, after accusing me of being a keyboard worrier.

The crowd was no better than last week against the Panthers.. Alex must of expected at least 1000 more. He deserves more considering the money it has cost to bring Artem in. The team needs a huge shake up..

Kerr coming here and scoring like he did, shows how far we have dropped. Yep he was fired up, but come on

His money. Early days... How did he know what the crowd would be? If you compare him to MT a CJ. Well talk is so cheap in MT's eyes. And CJ, well i thing he has shown himself to be a hairy one at best.... Hunt
