Bridger wouldn't even make the squad if i was manager,ask Peterborough how he goes on a decent big track.I would go with Danny King myself,rides Lynn well and seems to be coming into form.
Personally don't think Barker is up to it,i would like to see Stead in the team if fit,if not Danny King would be better than Barker at Kings Lynn,outscored him last night at Peterborough.
I don't think the pre meeting entertainment makes any difference to the crowd levels,so personally i just accept whatever it is and like many others stay in the pub if its not my cup of tea.
I agree and have backed my hunch at 9-1 with corals,the poles arn't going to like the slick track or the rain thats forecast and the Swedes are good gaters and they are a better side than Denmark even if they lost the race off.
Can't see the aussies making the final myself,mistake to leave Ward in,i would have gone for Shields myself and with Jonnson back the swedes could push the danes all the way.
Track prep is vital at any meeting as it was at Lynn and last nights meeting was terrific,its the best ive seen at Lynn foor many years.
I went to the elite pairs there one year and the racing was awful and have heard comments many times how its such a home riders track and the scores there seem to back this up but when Lynn were in the top league you saw great racing all the time,so it must be down to track prep.
I think skeletor was watching another meeting,fantasic meeting,great racing and superb stadium and all for 15 quid if you booked in advance what a bargain.
Its so obvious hes lowered his average on purpose,a 4.5 rider doesnt become a 3 point rider so quickly and how convenient he just managed to do 12 meetings.
It seems judging by the comments on the Stoke site,an un-named elite league team,probably Peterborough,have been refused their new revised line up which means Vissing is now out of work.
Panthers averaging fixing is under way,rides 12 matches for Ipswich, lowers his average,then rides for Stoke just to keep his hand in,now back to Panthers,sounds very dodgy.
