Yesterday certainly was the miss part of hit or miss from Ostergaard. I have been very impressed by Blackbird and Greenwood on my visits this season.

VC talks sense.

And who was going to tell the punters who don't read this forum?

Rain might be the winner on Wednesday.

Starting gate stopped starting half way through the meeting. Another electrical problem?

Yet another health & safety problem at the showground tonight I see. How many can they have/stand in 1 season?

I'm in Essex - near Braintree.

That's a decent offer pp - cheers I have to state I have never had anything against any Panthers supporter - well maybe 1, but we all have the same multi-named cross to bear! - just have issues with the management playing queenie's song to death and keeping us in the dark on other matters!!

That'll do nicely. Saves another trip to Peterborough. Good to have avoided Worky - still can't believe we won at their place!!

Anyone know what average he will be on?

Very perceptive pp - I am a decent bloke and a good speedway fan!! Don't get it wrong though, I don't support Panthers, unless they are against a team I don't like (e.g. Ippo, Somerset, Rye, etc !!). I will always be a Monarchs supported first and foremost!! However I would have been happy to have handed over my dosh this week or last if they had had the decency to just be honest, not hide under the cloak of H&S. I should be surprised that the BPSA let them away with it but I'm not.

I'm too concerned about my health and safety - maybe lots of others are too?

They are still not getting my money out of me after the Truckfest shenanigans. Will be the second one I have missed all season. Can't understand how the reasons haven't leaked out yet. Or is it that there was a prior booking?

Don't see it doing much for team spirit if Bowen, Bunyan, Tress & new guy have to up a ride each in every match and that only adds up to 6 rides each for the reserves!!

More likely to be Roger Lambert - average would fit too. (That's one for you Diamonds!!)

It will be a British rider from the look of it - http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Sport/Speedway/Rye-House-Rockets-reserve-Simon-Lambert-leaves-team-20140519135027.htm Feel sorry for Simon.

Brave effort by Tigers. For once Lemmo wasn't the weakest link.

Stitched up version here - https://twitter.com/aaronfox46/status/467995646570790912/photo/1 Still not a pretty sight though

I hadn't realised Richie had equalled Cookie's track record in heat 1. Impressed!

Amazing he will be back so soon when you see the damage to his thigh. No way I would be walking in a week let alone risking it racing!

OK. Chatzone updates have Ellis as 3rd in heat 2.

That's not unusual either!

Well I was right for 5 heats that Ippo could pull off the win!! Then they crumbled or crumpled or whatever. Really bad luck for Aaron Fox with his first heat win and then a paid win and then off to hospital with a suspected fractured femur. However later news suggested possibly no broken bones but a very bad gash in his thigh which might require a skin graft. Sounds a bit like Doyley's injury. Glad Hawkins made the trip - 4 last places is good for us (yes he was 3rd in heat 15 but he was the last to finish!!)!! Really surprised that Ellis only picked up 1 point. Are his recent falls catching up with him?

Hawkins will certainly be warmly greeted if he gets there!!

I don't like Barker, but his PL scores are.(most recent first) ........ 12, 10, 12, 14, 14, 12, 14, 14, 8, 13, 10 including any TRs but excluding bonus points, so he probably deserves to be there. Kennett is 14, 7, 9, 13, 14, 12, 13, 11, 13 so not as impressive but probably still better than those below him. Cookie's not having such a good season........... 10, 15, 13, 14, 14, 10, 14, 15, 14, 15, 14 but these include no TRs and don't include his 6 bonus points.
