I was simply paraphrasing what Chapman said in this weeks Speedway Star, his words not mine " clubs should be able to have a guest for any missing riders that are on official duty elsewhere, or for whatever reason ". If you haven't already, have a read of this topic http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=85183 there are some comments there on his latest words of wisdom.

No, you weren't disgraced because most of your team were clearly giving 100% and there was some decent races. MPT is the sort of battling rider I love to watch. It was particularly difficult for King's Lyn this time because Cook is now riding as well as he was at the beginning of the season, Tungate is truly dialled in at the NSS and has got his set up right and Jack Smith has started to score some points. Only going to get better when we have Bjerre and Fricke.

I don't know where you get the idea that everyone is writing off Swindon. Currently, there is a poll on Twitter and at the moment 42% think Swindon will win, Wolves are next with 24%, Belle Vue 18% and Poole 17%. Swindon are my favourites for the title but unsurprisingly, I think the Aces can do it if we have our full 1-7 and Fricke regains his form straight away.

The sport has to move forward, we can't afford another 2017. Proposed change should be tested by asking does it restore credibility and integrity, does it help or hinder restoring team building that will create teams fans can call their own and identity with for more than one season and does it enable a continuity of fixtures. Promoters must now give priority to what is good for the sport as a whole and not just what benefits them. I hope changes for the better can be made at Kings Lyn but the present promotion give no cause for optimism if the current idea to increase guests to cover any absence is an example. That is exactly what most of us don't want

No Bjerre,Fricke or Bewley, Richie Worral was poor on his last visit and I can't remember Graversen ever riding at the NSS.Jorgensen and Auty usually do well so I think we will at least get some decent races.

According to the KL website is r/r for Robert Lambert.

The SS is excellent value for money, I'm amazed they can produce it even at the new increased price. I've been getting it since the mid 50's and still look forward to the post arriving on Thursdays. I've been keeping them and all my programmes since the early 60's, they keep my loft insulated so not only can you enjoy reading them but they can also save you money. I can see the add campaign now. Like others I find it astounding that in this weeks issue Chapman wants clubs to be able to have guests "for any missing riders that are on official duty elsewhere, or for whatever reason." Yet more evidence of how out of touch he is with what fans want.

You did have Batchelor and Kurtz to replace Doyle and Morris but as you say you now have Musielak. More of concern is your current weakness at reserve but I can't see Wolves stopping your current excellent run of wins.

I didn't expect that to be so easy. Jack Smith was superb and showed in the way he passed Robson in heat 2 and later beat Nicholls the potential he has, well done. Perks also rode well,a much different rider than during his spell with Wolves. Bjerre clearly showed his problems last weekend were down to his engine problems, Cook continued with his good form, Tungate again showed what a good signing he has been and Lasse Bjerre was a good replacement for Worrall. Rye House were lacklustre. Barker, Wells and particularly Nicholls have all performed better at the NSS, KK rode hard but didn't manage to win a race, Robson had his moments and Morley probably did as expected. Harris would have scored more than r/r but not many more with the form the Aces were in and not enough to gain any league points. The good news is that we're back. Add Fricke and Bewley and on this form we will give anyone a run for their money.

Harris isn't that good at the NSS although he was better on his last appearance. You might do just as good or even better with r/r.

Bewley is a big loss and I can't see our reserves scoring many. We can still do it if both Bjerre's score well, Tungate isn't affected by his injuries and Cook has a really good night but the odds are now in Rye House's favour.

Some might be pleased if Poole lose out on 4th place, not me of course.

Not really, it was the BSPA who announced Bjerre as the guest. Belle Vue have only ever said Wright. Worral is a bigger loss to us than Harris is to Rye House but not many, if any, Aces fans moaning on here. Perhaps we are more used to the shambles that is the Premier League and just accept it. Even more ridiculous in a way because Worrall is our asset. Just hoping for some good close racing and that Tungate and Bewley aren't affected by their injuries. We need for Fricke to be back soon so he can be at his best for the play offs.

If Peterborough is off then hopefully Worrall and Harris will ride. I'm sure supporters of both teams would prefer to see their own riders. Could go either way tonight. Rye doing exceptionally well and Aces with question marks over Kenneth Bjerre's recent poor performances, Tungate who had two falls in Sweden last night, he says he is feeling sh*t but hoping to be OK for tonight and Bewley who has a groin injury. If our guest is now Lasse Bjerre, he was tremendous for Leicester on their recent visit so let's hope he can repeat that performance as we need the top 4 to do well to get a decent score from Fricke's rides. I'm an optimist so Bjerre's new engines will see him back to his best, Tungate and Bewley will not suffer any ill affects from their injuries and whichever guest we have, Wright or Bjerre will cover Worrall's usual score or, even better, Worral will ride. 48-41 to the Aces.

If Wright can repeat his last performance at the NSS he will be an adequate replacement for Worrall. There were rumours Fricke might be back tomorrow but unfortunately unfounded and r/r doesn't cover for him. There are also question marks over Bjerre, going to have his own engines back for this meeting, so we shall see if that was the problem and Bewley, who damaged his groin and couldn't move his left leg when he withdrew from the Colts match yesterday. With Rye House no doubt full of confidence we shall need Bjerre and Bewley to be at their best, if they are then we should be able to win. I'm not sure it helps to know that Poole fans will be hoping we do. I would hope that if Peterborough is called off both Worrall and Harris will take their places in this meeting. I would hope that Wright has been booked on that understanding.

Steve, interesting point about emojis and it not appearing. I generally use an android tablet. Whenever I include an emoji it never appears when I submit the post but I discovered that if I edit the post and include the emoji again it then does appear in the post viewed on my tablet and it is there if I look at the post on my android phone. I am now wondering if anyone else has this problem and if the emoji is only visible to me. I have added one to the end of this post. 🤔

Apparently, Lunna taken to hospital with wrist and arm pain, Morris not taken to hospital, no mention of any injuries but was replaced in his next race.

I know it was confusing my saying on the Swindon v Wolves thread that Worrall, who is replacing Howarth at Swindon, would be an improvement on Howarth. I really should have made clear that I meant it would be an improvement for Wolves at Swindon.

Was referring to one group of Cradley fans only last night. The rest had respect for each others teams. My comment referred to your comments about Aces fans which seemed to put them all in the same category save for Youngy. Presumably, you did notice the emoji though, although strangely it doesn't appear in your quote of my post.

Was I at the same meeting. I was stood with a group of Aces supporters and lots of Wolves and Cradley fans. No sign of any trouble, fans of all clubs, whilst obviously favouring their own team, were happy to chat with each other and applaud the efforts of opposing riders. I thought it was discriminatory to generalise about any group or race of people. 😂

70, do people bother to celebrate that! It's our 90th year so we're going for super power packed. That's if we can remember what we're celebrating.

Yes I did but going off last night he's better at Wolves as well. I doubt you'll find many Swindon supporters who don't think Worrall makes you stronger.

Worrall is an improvement on Howarth and Swindon are going to be weaker at reserve but should still be a comfortable win for the Robins.

I don't know but some have said it was Colin Pratt.
