this will be tight a couple of points either way

really feel for tai awful reports hope its not as bad as first feared best wishes to him

in 2007 we (lynn) beat sheff 75-15 in our first home match only for them to comfortably beat us in the play offs 4 months later with very few mitigating circumstances as ominous as ippo look an awful lot can and probably will happen between now and sept

i mean to be fair they did use their their number one who slso had 9 and their top scorer but yes youd have expected zagar and the bike is the most likely reason all in all though thats a pretty good response from brum after monday

bring on the twitches

that clearly shouldnt have happened but at least morris took ownership of it and admitted he got it wrong

i mean hes not really unproven and across the whole season in both leagues rather than just one meeting i think he will prove himself to be comfortably the better rider kemp is what he is and voulas has more to come imo

maybe you didnt get the option with thompson

cairns likely to be straight in come june youd imagine

agree with that although id expect lawson cook & klindt to get far more than 14 between them in an average home meeting i felt lynn let oxford off the hook a little after a blistering start but for a first meeting 53 isnt too bad bomber didnt make a single gate all night a quite brilliant debut

of course it is unless you like a conspiracy of course

my theory with richard over the years is that he wouldnt get paid for a p&p and would lose a days work (believe hes a plasterer) not saying its right/acceptable at all as they should all be there as ive said the rumour was that he and jan were both in poland which begs the question why p&p was friday not ideal but at least they were at oxford yesterday which is far more important and wasnt the case last year (not just lynn either)

IF the racing is as good as it can be at bv then i think how good cardiff was as a weekend will be forgotten at the end of the day the track action is what it is and should all be about that is what will leave memories and a legacy

a prime example that you just cant please everybody personally i think it makes a lot of sense to hold it early when everybody will (should) be there

i had heard that he was in poland too

i suspect there will be healthy crowds but those ticket prices arent good and will price an awful lot of people out unfortunately

they have a month until their first fixture so they have time to sort the situation one way or the other but yes a brief statement wouldnt hurt

if we are talking about sunday his machine sounded awful in his first two rides and he clearly had it sorted by his last outing not saying he isnt lacking confidence but that wasnt the main issue sunday imo not sure the type of track really matters if he can gate consistently on a given night at any track he will score well as when he gets fresh air he is seriously rapid being in traffic seems to be his weakness but there is plenty to work with and he is young enough to sort that out with the right guidance

yep they have clearly marked cash only, cash & card and card only hatches the fact that the programmes sold out so early says everything

could you elaborate at all all four payment hatches were open at the box office other than offer advance ticket sales i dont see what more could be done its the same argument as getting away from the stadium afterwards down one road, the sheer number of people means it will take longer there were probably twice as many people there yesterday as for a stars meeting

yep you can pay by card/contactess at lynn

i assume that price is for both nights

pretty sure they did in 2021 post covid but then dropped it presumably not enough folk used it to make it worthwhile

was gonna say the same if being there a long time is an issue then why arrive at a meeting with 21 races 90 mins before the advertised start time they perhaps could have offered online tickets in advance to ease the queues but there were probably around 3k people there and that ought to be celebrated rather than moaned about imo

once the racing began the 21 heats were completed in a touch over two hours which i think is about right personally i use the breaks between races to socialise with people i havent seen all winter rather than worry about what tractors are or arent doing but each to their own
