Is Greg watching the same incident. Jenkins lost control and feel Zagar wasn’t even close. Claiming he laid the bike down. Take your bandits specs off Greg. 😂

It was right in front of us and it definitely looked like Zagar packed up, he certainly straightened up and coasted.

Five heat wins at home is dreadful but fair play to Northampton, they thoroughly deserved that if not more. Back to the drawing board for Lynn!

Get rid of 4 of the top 5 and start again lol

Didn't look many on BSN, but last time belle Vue were on BSN the crowd looked poor as well 🤔

I considered going to that meeting and went online around 6pm and the grandstand had sold around 500 out of the circa 1800...

The back straight with around 400..

Pay at the gate would have added a few more I am sure..

Streaming must have some impact but it does bring revenue...

Such low crowds must be a worry though...

Of course the sport is on its knees here, just look at this forum, a live meeting used to attract a lot of comments because quite a few would see it, now most threads are only two or three pages, and clubs like Plymouth sometimes don’t even have a thread for a home match.

And only recently there was a match between Kent and the Thurrock Hammers, no mention of it at all on here and in fact I only found out about it on the day through seeing a post on twitter, I saw nothing in advance anywhere advertising it which is terrible, I probably would have gone if I had known about it.

The sport just keep limping along almost begging for it to be put list of its misery.

Foxes deserved the win on their performance. One thing I will say is that they have run teams close home and away and for a side chucked together at the last minute they are very credible in their results.

Just as well the foxes management released jeppesen and not bachelor!

Troy was trying to practically wave Jody Scott through in heat 12, what on earth is the point of having him in the team? In the top flight at least he is just playing at being a rider.

Excellent point for the Foxes though

Zagar couldn't replace Batchelor as that would be over the points limit, so had to bring him back for his injury replacement.

With management committee "approval" Northampton could now bring Jeppesen back in for Batchelor.

Not needed. The move is allowed as per 

011.2 Except where the MA of the introduced rider is equal to, or lower than the rider being replaced.

Troy 4.59

Jonas 4.48

I think Jenkins hit the deck in part because Zagar straightened up and slowed, trouble is Jordan was already out of shape and not really anywhere near Zagar so excluding him was correct. Don't understand why Zagar wasn't disqualified too though, he clearly wasn't under power when the red lights went on. One if a number of bizarre calls by a pretty poor ref.

Lynn were back to their awful gating ways and got away with a draw really, Northampton could and perhaps should have won that. I'm fearing what's to come on Thursday at Sheffield.
