Really don't get averages now.Schleins average has gone up despite him averaging well under 4 in his 4 matches this season.His 4 matches they got rid of must have been some seriously low scores.

The top riders very rarely do any team riding nowadays,which is a shame really as they should be able to do this.But most people think these riders are great.Some lesser likes try team riding and should be applauded for this.

Well the averages are low enough now to get Batchelor back in for NBJ.That would certainly make up for the possibly the weakest reserve pairing in the EL. You are right about Huckenbeck though has showed great promise,could we rest him a bit though and make sure he comes back on a nice low average next season

But wasn't the fixture list produced before Plymouth said they wouldn't be competing in the PL.So these fixtures were already in place when Plymouth were declared as racing this season.So no excuse really.

Wouldn't he have to replace Nicolaj Busk Jakobsen as he is in the top 5?

Well after reading that article,even though its a few years ago you can tell Ford is only interested in one thing.

But we are one of the weaker sides

Sadly this is what seems to win most matches now.

The reserves should be the worse riders in your team,but with the race format the way it is they become the most relied upon for points scoring. Get back to the old format and the two lowest averaged riders will rightfully be at reserve.Just make teams have 2-3 British riders in their teams.

Got to agree with that statement.For Poole to only lose by 10 with Holder,Kurtz and Watt scoring 6 between them just shows that the reserves will have the main say in who wins the league again.

Just see that,working nights Wednesday could have seen the meeting on the original date .Certainly not going to waste a nights holiday again at the moment to see a match.I will be there though as and when I am not at work.This could well be the season where I will attend my least amount of meetings in many,many years.

Expected result,as there will be many scores like this where Poole are concerned this season. As you say Shovlar,times were slower but racing much better,time to standardise bikes?

Think it's quite obvious Kings Lynn don't want to race on a Mondays,dont think they ever have only when its been on Sky.

I would say they would have preferred the original staging date as agreed by both teams,that's before Sky decided they wanted to change it.

Theres a few people believing he is JC but i'm not one of them.

Sky should have been made to cover it,afterall they wanted it moved from the Thursday to the Wednesday and then the Monday to suit them.

I'm still not 100% sure this is JC. Thankyou Sky or whoever has fu**ed this fixture about,probably be another one I will miss now when it is re-arranged.

I know there wasn't,but at present probably S.Lambert would do.But as we have weak reserves we should have probably tried and built the team to its maximum points limit and not 2.5 under.I know people will now come and say but their is no-one who is willing to ride over here,but I am sure there is someone like Bjarne and a few others.

After seeing this result glad my manager didn't give me a nights holiday.Looks like I could be saving some holiday this year. Don't mind Lynn losing as long as they are competitive especially at home its a must.But to lose by 15 at home isn't good enough,no matter who they are riding. Reserves will cost us this season.I like Wilko as he battles so hard but he is definitely not a number 1 FTR in fact he is only at reserve in the PL that says it all really,while 5 other number 1 FTR's are heat leaders in the PL and the other 2 are 2nd strings.

Lovely weather.two well balanced sides should be a good match.Only thing that spoils it is I have to be at bloody work

Just because Sky aren't showing this now,why should it stop you from going.If its on its Sky's loss not yours. You seem to cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Huckenbeck is the No8

Weather conditions do play a big part in the prep of a speedway track compared to a lot of sports though.Even if you have a lovely day to prepare it would still need a bit of TLC before the actual meeting with watering etc.Until all tracks are indoor I cant see any way around that . I wouldn't say any sport is constant action. I've been to a delayed kick off in a Champions League game to,delayed by 45 mins .Worked out well for me though as I was stuck on the motorway and just made it in time for the late kick off. Personally I don't think the crowds will come back no matter what entertainment is put on,simply because there so much to do now outside of speedway.When I was young I use to love it,but there was nothing for speedway to compete against then.Now with modern technology kids are happy to stay at home on their laptops,ipads and all sorts of gaming.

Why do people always seem to bring football against speedway.A football pitch for instance can be marked out days before a game.How many people can football clubs employ compared to speedway?Theres millions of pounds in football and probably just hundreds for many speedway clubs,if that. I have been to many PL football matches at the biggest club in the country and theres no pre-match entertainment,but as Trees said its the fans that make the atmosphere.If there were more fans with a bigger and better atmosphere I'm sure the riders will react to that to.
