Cooks a knob, many people knew that before, now it's confirmed. Some people really should stay off of social media

A decent crowd for an NL meeting, boosted by a fair few Eagles fans. Yes, but I've only ever seen him race at Rye. Scary innit?

Spiller made the difference, no doubt about it. Apart from that the sides were pretty evenly matched. Terrific entertainment and an outstanding ride by Rob Branford in heat 13 that was worth the admission alone! Track was dust free and the atmosphere was lively. Great value for a tenner.

Eastbourne won by 4 points. Steven is perfectly correct

Nah, I was sober

2004, my first visit to Derwent Park

Jason Doyle manages both.

Are you for real?If winning meetings didn't matter they wouldn't keep the score. Somerset are doing what they think is necessary after a couple of terrible results. He'd be out on his ear.

People who saw him turn up at the pits with his bikes

To lose at home to Plymouth in front of a few hundred fans and holiday makers is bad enough, but to have your trousers taken down and bottom spanked in front of thousands of Sky viewers....

I was under the impression he turned up to the 4's with his bikes, but was told his services were not required

He's more than welcome at Rye House next year

I used this argument on another thread. You don't necessarily need passing to have a good race.

Can't remember the last time I saw the track with so little grip. Brady Kurtz usually flies around the boards on bend 2 and down the back straight. Last night he didn't. Saying that, Edinburgh's top 4 were very good, too good for the home side. I still reckon Somerset will demolish us in the KOC semi final.

Really?

Track dries out pretty quickly. Saturday forecast looks favourable

Hmmmmm..... Can't think of one, but I've only seen around a 15 meetings there since 2005, mostly against Rye House which have been one sided

Could go anyway this one. Looking forward to seeing BWD again. Would like to see how he goes if he misses the gate

I doubt Warren Scott would've invested into the project and then leave it to rot. I'm pretty sure he has major plans for the stadium and Rye House Speedway.There is a stadium manager overseeing the day to day running of the club. Problem is what happens if, heaven forbid, Len Silver can't oversee the speedway side for one reason or another. Who takes over then?

He may not have a choice

In that case there will be a few after him

It's ridiculous that you can go through a whole league campaign, finish a mile ahead of the other sides, but lose a play off final. The NL way is better. The best team over the season wins the league, not one that's come good in the final few weeks

Stats can be dodgy. You can have a "good race" without a pass. Also, it's not clear if these are genuine passes, or when someone's had an EF, or passed a slower team mate. I've seen good meetings at most of the tracks I've been to, and thats every track in all three leagues except Belle Vue.

He did the same at Rye last week. He was a quarter of a lap ahead and kept riding very wide trying to break the track record. Broke it twice in that meeting

Just watched him finish 11th in the Touring Cars at Snetterton
