its only our home track advantage which has saved us from being in another battle for bottom spot like in 2015

Lakeside to get a point..................in most heats, Wolves to hit the 60 mark.

I know it rained there a bit but they were lucky to get that meeting through, there was some big storms around yesterday evening but thankfully Lakeside avoided the worst of them, Met office said it wasn't going to rain, they got that well and truly wrong again.

Can't post a picture of the weather radar but the weather could yet save Bees blushes

I think Lakesides main focus is on wins and scraping into the play offs so they can get some extra TV money etc, Swindons four pointer last night would not have gone down well.

I didn't miss there not being a meeting, I also didn't miss the same old people complaining about how poor the racing is and asking why when the telly is in there is hardly anyone there to watch it

It's about time we ditched the Friday race night and raced Saturday instead, we don't race Grand Prix weeks anyway so what difference would it make? Our next home meeting is ironically on a Saturday!

M25 this afternoon in all kinds of mess, could affect riders trying to get to the meeting never mind the fans be warned!

We have and have had riders who can ride bigger tracks just that when they come to us they forget how to ride them but the main issue is just poor team building using riders with very limited potential to improve if at all. I like Kelvin but one of the reasons he was brought in was to help with the bikes yet we are over halfway through the season and some of the boys are still struggling for power or something, Robert has been racing a lawnmower engine for much of the campaign, it's something that surely should have been sorted?

Except Fricke earlier in the season scored just two points where as Morris with Swindon a couple of weeks ago got paid 12 from 6 rides, it is very much Aces to lose.

We can cover for Eddy at home? we didnt have Eddy against Poole, how did that one work out for us? I can only see crowds dropping off further than they have been already this season, I hate getting drawn into such negativity but this scenario does have air of familiarity about and its a shame as I thought we had a decent team this season if everyone lived up to expectations but nearly half the team were coming back from retirement or injury and in truth you look at the stats and it was a gamble that did not pay off, I think fans of other clubs were probably more wise to that than ourselves who were going on blind faith it would work out.

One big league? No thanks, I would rather Lakeside dropped down a level which would make more sense as they could blood some youngsters from their youth ranks. I would miss having AJ in the team but most of the rest could still ride for us in some capacity.

I have always loved the look of the bikes and the smell and noise that they produce, the spectacle of four riders throwing their bikes around and making it look easy and nothing quite beats the sight of when a rider overtakes another through a gap that never appeared to exist.

Just as well it did not rain, it would have turned that place into an ice rink such was the lack of dirt on it, i am sure the riders probably didnt mind it as it looked smooth enough so probably a doddle to ride on but not normally the best receipe for good racing. Not been to Rye House for a long while, what is actually being built, place looked like a building site in that clip?

I wonder if Rye could fit Lewis Bridger in their team if its a desire of his to double down? I can only see it being a positive for the lad who frankly does not race enough just riding for the Hammers and from a Rye perspective having him, Edward and Robbo in the same team would be entertainment for the effort they are know to put in on track.

Sick of hearing about how great this place is supposed to be, every meeting I have seen from here has been rubbish, far far better has been witnessed at Lakeside, a track many are only to happy to take a swing at for the same supposed lack of racing.

Forget the so called farce of Lakeisde vs Poole, that last heat was utter fn BS

I highly recommend using netweather radar, the site updates itself every five minutes and shows a true picture of any current weather around, you can use It to work out the direction of any storm and how fast its travelling and what sort of rainfall is being experienced within that storm in mm, probably the best way of "risk assessing" whether to make a journey or not, after all you can have 100 people telling you its dry at 5pm but it all means nout if there is a huge band raining about to hit area within the next couple of hours.

On paper the Robins look stronger than the Poole team that visited recently, I still think we are strong favourites to win but nothing can be taken for granted, looking forward to at least some good races involving Jason Doyle, amazing to think how he has developed when at one point I thought he was just always likely to be a rather erratic reserve/second string. Justin and Robbo are also popular around Lakeside so they will get a good reception, Bjarne is the wild card, he must surely be looking to prove a point tonight? Riding in a heat leader slot too, which is what he would have been for us originally.

Does that mean Bjarne will ride at reserve? After the Poole result I am not taking anything for granted.

Never seen a poor meeting from here, great track and quite frankly regardless of its size is better than any race track in the UK imo

I could not have been more wrong with my prediction, AJ, Edward and Kim were really on it last night, Lewis B tried as always but sometimes was in the wrong place at the wrong time, still a little cause for concern with the reserves but it was announced Ben Morley will be getting a chance soon. Seems Lewi Kerr is no longer with revolution speedway?

I think Wolves will edge this one, worried about whether Eddy will be fully over his recent health problems.

Just want to check, is this more of a farce than the Lakeside vs Poole meeting?

I will give it half hour, if the racing is not better than Monday i will watch the football instead.
