I see there are a few sour grapes on here.The best part though is the Ipswich,Belle Vue and Poole fans are all digging at each other and leaving all us happy Lynn fans alone to just bask in the glory of a wonderful result.Well done the half fit Lynn team🫣

I suppose Rob has the right to do so.If Harrison wasnt allowed in ht13 as you say,the ref got it wrong imo.

I don’t know his name… matey on the centre green.

Lynn loving life and fair play to them. This final is like the qualifying position for worst 4th place in the country 😉

I said earlier in the week that this wasn’t going to be easy & so it proved.

Heat 14 will be the talking point, from where we were standing on the 1st bend I couldn’t honestly see if there was contact or not . Dan had done well to get passed Kerr at that point it looked good. 

To be honest we should never have been in the position that heat 14 call be the referee makes or breaks the tie.

I can’t say if Lynn wanted it more than Ipswich but they were certainly the better team over the 2 legs & deserved to make the final.

Congratulations you pesky Stars you deserved it!

I think you will find we are congratulating Lynn and at the same time not understanding the ref in heat 14…

I prefer Lynn fans on here to Belle Vue ones lol

Whilst you did indeed congratulate Lynn,the sour grapes to me is from comments like "they wont make the top 4" and " Let them enjoy beating us when it means nothing"

After opening with a 5-1 the tie should have been over long before the heat 14 incident, it could have gone either way Kerr did put on a right burst of speed but from where I sat there was no contact. (exit of 2nd bend on the grandstand) 

Ipswich were poor too many errors and last places - track wasn't helping there was some passing but not a lot. One of the only real passes of the night was DanT on Kerr before Kerr then steamed up the inside. I'd like to see a replay of it!! 

I was really good to see Bomber mixing it - he and Klindt bascially took the Stars through tonight. Good luck to Lynn I think Leicester will win but it must feel good for them to be in the final, its been a lean few years!

Well done to the stars,, as for heat 14 it's 50 50 for me,, if its your rider you doing what Kerr did it's fine and if its the away rider it's not,,, I can guarantee now if it was Thompson that did it Kerr the Witches fans would be saying hard but fair move.

Forget heat 14… there is a bigger issue than this result and it’s the team, some really up and down performances from the team. I wouldn’t even be confident that we would beat Leicester anyway to be honest.

Doesn’t mean anything unless you win it …. But congrats on getting there and hope you do well

Heat 14 was literally last chance saloon it should never have got to that!

If Kerr was going to pass him fairly, then surely Thomson would have shut off and stayed on for 3rd place.

Would that not have left Ipswich needing a 5-1 in the last heat to force a superheat?

Who then knows what would happen in 15 as possibly not the same 4 riders as selected.

Agree with much of what has been said. I couldn't see whether there was contact or not either in heat 14 but I do think the wrong rider was excluded. Having said that, however, it should never have got to the point that the result of that race was so crucial. It's hard to believe that this Ipswich team is the one that started the season so well and touted as almost unbeatable. Jason, Emil and, to a lesser extent, Danny, carried the team tonight. As for the rest...

And what was all that nonsense before heat 13 about? How is it that a team manager and a referee don't know the rules regarding the no. 7? Unbelievable!

Kerr steamed inside Dan, didn't appear to be contact and there was still room for Dan to turn.. brave call from the ref, but I think the correct one

Thought Rob had dropped a rare clanger as I'd have given Luke his 3rd ride in heat 13 to allow Nicolai in heat 14 and more chance of points.

As it turns out, it all worked out in the end, nice to put one over the witches for a change... one happy lynn supporter!

Good all round team effort. Makes you wonder what could have been with 2 unlucky home defeats earlier in the season and at least 2 if not 3 away matches where we could have won but for our usual injury curse - would have been well in the mix for the playoffs

What concerns me is okay the wheels are wobbling a bit,, but more than anything, why when we need to win, why do we never seem to prep the track for our benefit,, 

I would have put money on the track being prepped liked last week and lost the lot.
