Management and most supporters prefer 5.00pm, unfortunately other events at the Showground on match days dictate a later start.

MDL 6 heat match afterwards between Peterborough & Milton Keynes but I still think it's likely to be all done by 9.30pm

No he shouldn't, been there read the book seen the film and watched him score bugger all at most away tracks. Roynon has been struggling for the last 5 years, it doesn't matter what position he rides at. The rules say 2 riders who have competed in or are eligible to ride in the NL.

I would have thought on his current form he is more likely to get offered a place in the National League, he can actually ride Eastbourne and Lakeside.

The problem with that is Grasstrack commitments would likely mean no facility which basically calls means a 6.00 pt NL rider.

To be fair I have now heard they will have a 1.4 conversion applied for riders going from Premiership to Championship

He has done 5 matches so far for Poole and is still averaging 2.00 so I don't see his average changing much anytime soon.

I think a few teams have looked at him, he certainly looked good at Peterborough when winning the recent U21 SF, he has a lot of weekend grasstrack commitments apparently so clearly riding in a league that rides predominantly at weekends does provide considerable problems.

So you don't rate him then, lol

So what's new

Let's be fair Phil Rising is right, the Norfolk Arena is a dreadful gate and go track, despite going occasionally since the 70,s I haven't seen what you might call decent racing there since Ryan Sullivan regularly raced there with the Panthers.

Holub, got hurt in his first ride and didn't ride in the rerun.

I would be surprised if the MC made a special case out of him especially considering Rob Godfrey went through something similiar last year with a rider one match short of getting an average and getting hurt.

Somebody who can sort the track out hopefully

Judging by the latest GSA wilkinson goes to reserve for your next meeting.

Nielsen has ridden yet

Well if we are talking Averages Bradley has a GSA of 6.32 from his 2017 matches

Stefan Nielsen strongest reserve in the league, yeah right. I think Bradley Wilson Dean has that mantle.

Nice to see different riders on the rostrum but the racing was absolutely dire. Shocking start to the series, hopefully things will improve.

Dale is highly capable as a TM and the fact that he was doing such a good job at Peterborough surely prompted Lynn to promote him rather than lose him full time to the Panthers.

Quite why Starke is getting flak is beyond me. Top heavy teams can get by with a couple of riders having off nights but if you build a solid team they all need to score, when your number one is only scoring 1 point you have a major problem.

None of the Peterborough fans react to him, just do what we do and ignore him/her

Basically because none of the others wanted to do it That's so annoying and unfortunately it happens regularly at Peterborough, even more so when they announce who is in the race when they are at the tapes ready to go.

2017 Speedway Regulations. 16.2.1 ESTABLISHED MAs are calculated, for a specified number of applicable Meetings, taking account of the number of heats and points (excluding Bonus Points) that a rider has scored. The applicable Meetings are: SGB Premiership: SGB Championship: League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs League Meetings only. NB: (Double) points scored as a TR will count at 50%. 16.2.7 A SGB Premiership or Championship League rider will establish an MA after 4 Home and 4 Away fixtures, becoming effective 7 days after the last qualifying Meeting. Should an Established MA not be achieved to be effective from 1st May, then the MC may issue a revised MA, based upon actual rides if the Team re-declares.

Starke was feeling the effects of his recent shoulder injury which is why he didn't do heat 15, I think most of the Panthers supporters would have realised that.
