Didn't seem sarcastic when i read it Phil.It probably would have sounded more sarcastic had you left it at the dancing bit.But you then go on and pretty much lay the blame at Lynn's door because they knew of it a few days ago but didn't want it mentioned.So according to Lambert you have told a porkie.

Imo both promotions are at fault for advertising the said teams.They both had the opportunity to inform the fans that Lambert wasn't going to be there.They both chose not too.Would those few Belle Vue fans there have travelled had they known there team beforehand.That must have cost themselves a small fortune last night.Hopefully the Belle Vue promotion will reimburse their costs with the saving they made from not having to pay Lambert. Apart from all this rubbish going on though,the meeting was excellent and one of if not the best this season.Fair play to Zagar.S.Lambert and especially Kurtz for getting stuck in.

So he should really have been there tonight.Was told tonight he isn't injured.

Excellent start with Jakobsen on a 5.04 for 2023.

Jakobsen signs for 2023 on a 5.04

I agree it's a piss take re Lambert,Belle Vue not wanting to shell out another £5000? But to say fans will turn out to watch rubbish.This meeting has been a very good watch by the way.Plenty of hard racing and overtaking.The track does look differently to me tonight.

I heard the track was bladed either before or after the stock cars cant remember now.So I would like to think the track would be laid today.

If as some people are saying the scores from tonight won't count towards the averages,I assume that would keep Jakobsen on his 5.04 average as this meeting won't count.

No he's not,that was meant to be tongue in cheek.They won't go down that line I'm sure. Why would they get paid for being ill?Pickering's average is low enough now for whoever gets him next season.Klindt I'm unsure really his average is about 7.5 unsure if that is good or not for someone to pick up.If you compare it with R.Lambert's average then that isn't a good average for him.

Klindt and Pickering out due to illness.Harris guests for Klindt and RR for Pickering.

I was thinking if King's Lynn were hoping to sign Jakobsen next season they would prefer him on a 5.04 and not a 7+.Maybe he will be rested tomorrow unless Lynn aren't interested in him for next season.They maybe thinking along the lines of S.Lambert at reserve next season and not Jakobsen

Glad I decided to have a nice week in the sunshine now looking at that result.May as well book every October as Lynn don't seem to be able to step it up a gear to win anything come crunch time.That seems to be management and riders. Re Kerr,while he seems to have been scoring better I would have expected his average to be 7+ with the average now only being over 10 matches,but he is not.Imo he will never do that 6,6.5 at best for him even in the watered down league.Never has been consistent enough away from home. Oh well shower time ready for another day in the ☀

I'm doing a rain dance already,although not for where I am at the moment.A bit peed that the final is this week but once i knew we couldnt make the play offs about 3 months ago i decided to book a holiday.I cant.believe it took the two clubs about 5 months to arrange this fixture.

Hopefully they will fit in the last meeting against Bellle Vue as I am going to miss this meeting.Hope we have a rain off so I can make the restating as long as its after the 20th.Buster can sort that can't he

Thats a bit different.Although i guess it isn't 15 times what he is on at Ipswich.

The rules are the same in the PL.It is R/R for a rider 4th/5th in the averages unless you have 2 riders out in the 1-5.

I thought it would be Zloty too.But when i said on another thread the other day i don't blame anyone who goes anywhere to double,triple,quadruple their money,i got a reply saying try 15 times.I couldn't see it being that myself.Blimey that would make Doyle on about £26.50 a pt with Ipswich

Pounds or Zloty?

Who will be your reserve Thursday though? I won't be able to watch it unfortunately as i will be off to sunnier climes.But i really think this could go either way and should keep all supporters of Sheffield and Belle Vue on tenterhooks.

Deleted.

Agree on all those points above bar the bit about missing Wright will gift Sheffield the title.It may work out that way,but Wright has averaged a little under 6 this season at Sheffield.Don't you think Zagar,Brennan and your reserves could get 5/6pts between them?

I love the fact that both sets of fans are believing their teams are not going to win.I think it is finely balanced.It's quite conceivable to see Lambert,Kurtz and Zagar to get 10pts each from 5 rides each(or even more).That leaves 10pts to get from Brennan and the 2 reserves between them,from 5 rides each and 6 from one reserve all assuming Wright won't be fit of course.

Too many late nights and early mornings I think for me.

Yes you are correct Bagpuss,i wasn't thinking clearly he is 4th in there averages.He would never be in their top three with Lambert,Zagar and Kurtz holding those 3 positions That would give Zagar and the reserves extra rides.

If Wright isn't fit for Thursday they can still bring in a decent guest from Lynn imo.Pickering or Worrall would be a decent shout.Etheridge they would have to go into the Championship or a R/S.But i don't think they would miss him anyway away from the NSS.
