Aries

He has but in fairness the broken scaphoid derailed his season and he’s taken a little while to get back up to speed which is understandable. He was second or third in our averages I think up to that point and riding superbly.

Nah 😁

All a bit irrelevant against Belle Vue really. The name of the game here was just to make a decent fist of it because the aggregate bonus would be bagged at Foxhall. In the plays offs if the two clubs meet at any stage, I’m confident of beating Belle Vue over two legs if we stay injury free. Leicester still the bigger danger currently but have they peaked a bit early?

Why make things up? Literally NOBODY has said that ffs 🙄

I enjoyed it. Normally do at Leicester sorry to buck the trend. Congratulations to the Lions, no doubt the form horse at the moment.

The majority of those passes though you can spot coming a mile off so I understand the point some are making.

Ah Sheffield doing the old Hokey Cokey just before the cut off eh. As sure as night follows day.

Not convinced you’ll see rising stars next year personally.

I enjoyed the meeting too. Thought it was a decent watch. Fricke the best rider in the league currently. Really like him too seems like a decent down to earth fella so good for him. Still if some got their way, he’s another they’d happily punt out of British Speedway to get one league speedway..🙄

Might be, but doubtful at the moment. As Hawkins says in the preview above, since the injury wobble we haven’t got close to getting back to our early season form yet when we were blitzing everyone out of sight at Foxhall. Hopefully that comes back by play off time!

Ok, let’s get rid of the quality we do have, and let everybody have mediocre teams and equally sh!t attendances for the sake of equality and “credibility”. Terrific strategy. Ban the GP stars, problems solved!

And yet the biggest cheer of the season apparently was when your GP star Fricke came from 15 metres to win on the line in spectacular fashion. I’m sorry but you ain’t getting that kind of star quality from the Thompson’s or even Ryan Douglas. How people are happy to see these riders depart is beyond me.

Yes is the simple answer. Dan left enough room for a double decker bus and Kerr went through it. There were several people up in the box and every single one of us knew that it was over as soon as Dan hit the deck and that he was getting excluded. There really is no argument to be had here. The only slight doubt was that the referee might be a “Homer” and wrongfully exclude Kerr.

Totally agree, and it was an error on Dan’s part. Such a shame because after a poor night, you could see the determination to do it for his team in that heat and he done fantastically well to overtake Kerr in the first instance.

Exactly as I saw it BB. For anyone with a good memory, it was almost identical to the incident at the NSS a few seasons ago when Doyle came steaming under Bewley and Bewley dropped it. On that occasion the ref got it wrong and excluded Doyley, this time the ref got it spot on IMO.

It’s YOU who has the rose tinted glasses on Buttons. Not only was there no contact, it wasn’t even close! I probably had the best view in the house for this incident. Up in the VIP box between first and second bend thanks to Arch. Fact is, Dan passed Kerr up the inside going up the back straight. That then took him wide around bends three and four. Kerr then came steaming down the inside of Dan down the home straight, Dan saw him coming through, panicked and laid it down. I hope this heat gets replayed via rerun so everyone can see. If I’ve got it wrong, I’ll hold my hands up. Pretty sure I haven’t though.

Haven’t had a chance to read through the latest, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with Kerr’s move. Dan done exceptionally well to get past Kerr, but Kerr then came down hard, but fair to reclaim the place. What a week for Lynn, and fair bloody play. Superb in both meetings and fully deserved victories.

Won’t be one league.

One league isn’t happening. Forget about it.

Just looked at the rider averages comparison between Emil’s first year here in 2023, and this year so far. Away from home in 2023, 10.95 with a GSA of 10.36. This year so far, 8.00, GSA 7.26. That is some drop off in just two years!

Crazy to say it considering how good they’ve been, but we no longer have the top end strength away from home. Still fine at Foxhall, but the top two have consistently disappointed away from home this year. Age and injury catching up with them I’m afraid. Fair play to Kings Lynn. 8 points down that was a superb fight back and fully deserved win.

It doesn’t. Lawson, Harris, Kvech and Klindt is more than sufficient to cover Iversen. You could argue is strengthens them looking at the form or Iversen and his replacements. The Cook situation is an issue for them though. Lambert hasn’t been riding well so that’s definitely a weak link for them.
