Jason Doyle was magnificent tonight even by his standards Passing lynn riders. Team riding and slowing down races and taking a tax sub ride all before the biggest GP in 48 hours time. whatever he gets paid he is worth every penny. Love the celebratory wheelies around the bends of the stock car track. Mr entertainment

What is he planning to watch?

Story of the season unfortunately, just too inconsistent and not quite good enough, well done Witches. In the interests of consistency I'll say for the umpteenth time tac subs shouldn't be permitted for home teams.

Some people don’t believe the moon landings happened.. There’ll always be fantasists and idiots. Still, nice that people care so much about us now. Wasn’t long ago nobody bothered with little old Plymouth.

He also started this season on Godden engines which he couldnt get off the statrt with and picked up the shoulder injury in his second meeting I think. his form did pick up when he switched back to GM's but the injury was too much and he needed a break from racing, good to see him back on a track he goes well at.

And word is the council will be there, so let's show them speedway can't be lost to the town ☠️☠️

The difference being people don't believe Kennett is still injured.

I could not disagree more, if Holder want's to return to the GPs & qualifies, there's no reason he shouldn't be there. As for having accepted a wildcard in that final year, not sure what that means, as almost half of this year's field got wild card / reserve picks. Finally if the "new generation" want their chance, they need to beat the "old generation" and qualify for the GPs. Otherwise why should they be in there?

No. But he was in a van not a Carr.

Well bearing in mind his position at Peterborough and the fact he put last years title winning team together, I think it fair he celebrated after playing a part in the clubs success. I do see that it’s not nice to see other teams officials celebrating especially when you haven’t won anything of note for a quarter of a century.

Is the local vicar going to be there Steve?

They’ve been using guests for Kennett all season, most who’d have scored more than he would. Clearly he wasn’t going to return, just playing the numbers game and had no intention of signing anyone to replace him. Should count themselves lucky

A very enjoyable meeting this evening. For Lynn, Jakobsen impressed early doors but didn’t quite carry it through to win the meeting. Pickering was a huge disappointment compared to when I’ve watched him previously. Thought Worrall rode well. Similarly, Jason Edwards also rode well. He’s definitely coming on well and improving all the time. One to watch. For the Witches, what a pleasure it is to watch Jason Doyle ride. Team rode brilliantly and is just generally a class above. As mentioned previously by another poster, worth every penny! I was impressed by Tungate, rode some good lines. It was also pleasing to see Summers come good in his last race. Couldn’t fault the effort of Starke but just couldn’t put the points on the board tonight. Understand the disappointment of the King’s Lynn promotion but they only have themselves to blame for losing that meeting tonight.

Not the first time this season riders have felt Lawson went over the line shutting off trying to slow down a race, there was some afters earlier in the years in one of the pairs meetings, remember Simon stead saying on the podcast he felt Lawson was a bit too naughty on that occasion. Must say I was surprised how angrily Rohan reacted today, didn’t think he was too naughty but I guess in the heat of battle tempers run high! Like the afters tbh adds to the entertainment, also enjoyed Doyle coming and saying to Rohan who cares we won let’s do some wheeelies haha excellent ride from Rohan to secure third and the win tho!

Tungates intelligence swung that meeting big time

King's Lynn robbed by the referee again, the speedway board needs to do something about it! No wonder why our sport is dying on it's arse!!

The last time he was in this league he was bang average

Morley, McGurk, Pearson all reserves. Etheridge started the season there. Lambert (?) and Hume have been there. Shocking.

I have often wondered tbf

Well done to the Promotion. If Newman can get back to his 2019 Eastbourne form, can be an astute signing. KO Cup imo is our best chance of Silverware. Lets hope Erik is back in the near future.

If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle

Don't really have much choice! Fingers crossed they are on board.

Leicester won the Championship and Shield in 2019 using a guest for the injured Richie Worrall for a large part of the season. I don't recall there being a huge amount of "flak" being fired towards us for that (there was some, inevitably) but I don't think anywhere near the amount Plymouth are getting over Kennett. Clubs cannot control the timings of their riders' injuries, can they.

As could the fact that he's an entertaining racer who excells around Plymouth

Extremely good signing , unlucky with things the last couple seasons, could be the catalyst for redcar

Firstly what do you know about Peterborough finances, clearly nothing so this kind of throwaway comment does little credit to you, it’s not helpful to Peterborough and does not help the image of your own club either. The Showground management postponed the meeting because they wanted to use the Showground for something else, nothing to do with Peterborough Speedway and as tenants we had little or no say, the fact that they have re arranged it promptly for BHD Monday at the end of August shows they clearly were trying to help re arrange it as August meetings at the EOES in recent years have been as rare as rocking horse poo.

We are protecting Knudsens average for Glasgow for 2023. Fixed that for you.

Excellent move by the Bears management, I was very worried that they were going to stick with Bickley for the rest of the season, and realistically couldn't think of one rider he might actually beat !! Welcome to Kyle N ,as has been said this may just kick start his career again

Kyle (Newman) struggled at Brummies in early 2019 in a struggling team when asked to be a heat leader. I always felt he was unfairly jocked out of the team when others were delivering less at the time but it was an averages game. He then seemed to find a whole new lease of life and best form in ages at Eastbourne in 2019 when he replaced Brennan and where he said he was enjoying racing again and again in 2021 before they closed. He struggled with fitness at Oxford it seems in a difficult No 2 role and seemed rusty race fitness wise when I saw him earlier in the season. If he can have a spell at reserve at Redcar and get the enjoyment back he could be a massive weapon for them. As for Bickley, flash websites and social media and stickers on your van doesn't mean anything on the Track. He's been passed and left behind now by 3-4 years worth of newcomers. Never going to be better than a good NDL Heat Leader, a big fish in a little pond.

When JK signed for Berwick they had 9 matches (that count) left. But Jonas would have been absent for two of them (last night and clash with Wroclaw GP2) so barring rearrangements would never have ridden 8 matches.

In those years gone bye it was the British Promoters that called the shots. The British were the ones that introduced demands upon riders one way or another, An off shore rider had to commit to the British club & if they should decide to race in their homeland then the British club would only be able to cover with a minimum average rider in their position. So really it's a case of the boot is on the other foot & someone else has the pot of gold & built their own empire.

So riders have to attend practice? In the last riders missed out when Poland had Friday fixtures! Have to disagree about Brennan being "very unlucky" not to get a wild card pick. The 3 wild cards all finished higher up in the qualifiers! Not sure why they'd have to take part in timed practices, these are to decide riding order for the top 16, not reserves!

Should we read anything into Richard Andrews not getting a r/r ride (in heat 6)? If he beats Kieran Douglas (as you'd expect) Plymouth would have won by a point! Personally I think it's a big mistake using a reserve when a top 5 rider can get the r/r ride. If Abraham gets the extra ride but Andrews is the better rider on the day, it's a lost race for Andrews. However if Andrews gets the extra ride but it turns out Abraham is the better rider on the day, he can replace Andrews later on (twice if necessary) so no harm done!

Why did the management state that the were waiting to see if his Visa arrived in time or Joe Thompson would take his place if it didn’t,if he was not going to be there anyway .?

Ipswich are not all that great but they have Doyle.

They will still lose .IMO.

Kenny carter rode with a broken leg!, think craig has bigger fish to worry about !

Then given it is a major development site I suggest establishing what positions the three main Parties are taking on it.

Would have thought it was zero tolerance but only a guess... Regards THJ

National League his level sad but true

He likes throw away comments, look at any Sheffield thread to see

Didn't think they charged!

If that's the case he should have stayed in the back ground when Peterborough won the title & not prance around on live TV. Outside looking in you have club officials celebrating with more than one club, if that's not bad enough these clubs are supposed to be arch local rivals. Then you have riders appearing for multiple clubs as guests during the season no wonder no one takes it as serious sport.

You can add Ricky Wells to that as riders who regularly under achieve in away meetings, just an extra point or two from these riders in meetings like last night would make a difference.

Oh, so that's why they are doing it. Makes perfect sense now. Pack the place out and show them speedway is still needed!

Berwick will now have two riders in the SGP2 at Cardiff on Sunday, Jonas Knudson and now Leon Flint has been promoted into the full meeting and will wear the No16 race jacket.

Yes a Plymouth rider failed a drugs test at a Plymouth meeting so Plymouth should suffer! Maybe Kennett's 'injury' has healed so he can take Barker's place!
