Of course it had nothing to do with Ben Cook having two on the trot

The 2 minute clock stopped working about the 3rd or 4th meeting and was never to be seen again. There wasn't an interval last night, what you refer to after heat 9 was the 2nd of busters normal grading breaks. It is a whole different debate about the length of time taken grading the track at Lynn.

Kvech for Tofty and I'm sure it was in the press release Lawson in for Tobi

wouldn't be surprised to see Craig Saul involved at least for some meetings

The track prep this year has been dreadful nearly every meeting has been soo over watered before the start. The Stars have been a big part of my life for over 40 yrs but I am totally disillusioned and i'm afraid unless things change last night is my last. Quick question what was Simon's Issue with Anders after heat 12? The way he and his mechanic was shouting and swearing at Anders and with his mechanic wanting to take Anders round the back of the pits for a fight was soo out of order all the time Hoggart just stood there not saying a word before.

Personally I think it is the right call, If it was just the weather then I would say it is a dodgy decision but there is no fuel around my area at all so was looking like I wasn't going to be able to make it and I'm sure there are plenty of others in the same situation.

The ref put the white light on straight away.

After I praised the racing and the amount of overtaking against Poole it’s only right that I acknowledge the racing last night was rubbish. One thing I will add I don’t know if it’s because we are on a good run but I suspect more that we have now had a regular run of meetings the atmosphere last night was the best I’ve known for a few years.

While not a classic I thought it was a good meeting and am surprised at all the negative comments looking back though my program from memory there was passing after the first bend in heats 4,6,7,9,13,14 and 15 plus a couple of heats had close racing without an overtake IE heat 3 add in a close score all match with a home win in the last heat and Jasons acrobatics I went home certainly happy that I had my monies worth of entertainment for the evening and will be back tomorrow night.

At least the club announced all the meetings the riders will miss a few weeks ago which is more than we would of had last year and if they are correct there is only two more clashes which is Niels Wednesday and Kasper missing the away Poole meeting. Obviously with rain offs being rescheduled and now having MPT in the team this may change. We have had two great home meetings so far with some of the best racing i've seen at Lynn for a few years against Swindon lets all get behind the team and see what they can achieve this year instead on concentrating on the negatives.

I May have misheard but didn't they say against Swindon Niels was missing and cook was guesting again

I’ve been following this forum for years and while I don’t agree with a lot of people’s views I respect they are entitled to their own opinion but one thing I don’t agree with is the negative posts about riders, It is very rare riders aren’t given maximum effort and I appreciate the skill and effort of every rider weather they are scoring 15 pts or 1pt. personally I couldn’t fault Nicklas’s effort last season he was throwing the bike into the corner as hard as anyone but just never seemed to get anywhere. I think he made a mistake going with the Gerhard engine and just never got it setup for uk tracks.

I was also in the queue for the train but the last train left at 10.40 due to enginering work. I joined the queue at 11.15 with about 300 other people (including families with young children) it was 1am before I was finally able to get on the coach to newport arriving back about 1.30am and there were still about 40 people waiting when I left cardiff for another coach to pick them up I hate to think what time they got back. If you do stay in newport its probably best to check the internet to make sure the trains are going to be running o.k. otherwise you may have to make alternative arrangements bearing in mind taxis were quoting about £55.00
