Daniel Smith

I think he's making reference to Poole's team average which is actually only 42.26

Barker has already participated in the Premiership this season so would come in on that average which is 6.00

Auty's had 3 meetings with Leicester 2.80 average so far.

I agree that fixtures should (and hopefully will be in 2019) pre planned but VRX only took over in April as the Speedway Great Britain franchise. So finding gaps in the British Speedway schedule is extremely difficult. Especially with most rider's doubling up between the Premiership and Championship. Getting this 1st test match off the ground will be to see if these matches grab the attention of the paying public, especially with the inclusion of the top rider's in the World. Yes it is short notice but absolutely vital for all parties and more so, Speedway Great Britain.

Correct, the BSPA are totally irrelevant to the international fixtures. This fixture has come together from the new owners of Speedway Great Britain, VRX Motorsport (Rob Painter & Vicky Blackwell). The owners and team manager have accepted Robert Lambert's request due to his racing schedule but have made it clear to ALL British rider's that this will be a one off. Unless injured or an exceptional reason, all rider's are to be available for international fixtures. If any rider's fail to accept an international selection a request to the FIM could be made to impose a worldwide suspension.

Exactly, so why recall Andersen now?? There's no time left in the season to get race fit and improve himself and the team. It's just not logical to bring him back. Maybe Simon ain't the right man but I feel for the team @No7 it should be anyone but Andersen. A backward step this late in the season.

It didn't add anything. Once done a few times it's very very boring. Nothing beats all the bikes on the track at the same time during parade. How about having the both teams reserves start from the tapes. 5 meters back are the No2 & 4's. Another 5 meters back are the No'3 and 5's. 2 meters behind them are the No'1. That'll be entertainment

Exactly, Robert was even team riding when with the Young Stars, always plays his part for the team and that's why he's club captain. I don't think Pearson can't go a single league meeting on BT without mentioning Woffinden.

Doyle, C.Holder, Fricke, Masters, Kurtz, J.Holder

Even Proctor is a better choice than Grajczonek

Even if Robert goes through the card and scores 18, can't see the Stars getting within 20 points of the Pirates.

Don't disagree but what we have with Andersen is exactly the same we had with Porsing, barely improves through the season but we continue with, just Andersen is a lot less of a "Big Time Charlie". To make the Play-Offs / win the league we need to make home wins far more convincing. Andersen's coming back from injury also so I just don't see the logic in bringing him back in.

That's the thing that's drove me bonkers, the AFA can be and should be a special place to watch Speedway. Unfortunately the place has gone delusional, people just don't see no wrong. Anyone to call last night a good meeting clearly doesn't understand what Speedway's all about. I dare some to fill in their programme one week after the first 2 corners and see if much changes. It is a fact that the racing is very boring 90% of the time, we have an owner and a track curator who's delusional over what is being delivered to the public as entertainment. I think the racing now at the AFA is that bad, I'd be more entertained watching Speedway at Lakeside.

All that's required is a solid reserve. Has to be Erik Riss for Garrity.

To be fair to Fricke, he scored as many as Doyle usually does around the AFA. More often than not Doyle always has a visit to the safety fence, certainly not one of his favourite tracks to visit.

Did you think that was a good meeting???

So, like the Poole meeting another last heat decider but a totally $#!+€ meeting. Something has to be done about the track at King's Lynn. FTG race track these days

No, most had the £9 off from the Leicester meeting

I truly feel for Stars fans that passed over £46 over the last week, 1 good meeting out of 3. The AFA has no value for money.

Showing our position in the Premiership Table so far. Appalling

Actually, football is having a similar problem to Speedway in that younger fans are not coming through the turnstiles. The average age of fans going to Premier League matches is 42 and is increasing. Compared to the season before the Premier League was born the average age was 30. The top 2 divisions are pricing families out of the market, relying heavily on the merchandise, sponsorship and television markets for income. It's expected that over the next 10 years the admission prices will only increase by 4% on season 2017/18. But by season 2027/28 the average age of fans is predicted to rise by 15% to just over 48. Clubs are being pressurised to reduce turnstile costs to encourage under 25's but many are not interested, instead increasing the numbers of corporate packages available. If things continue in the current trend, by 2035 the Premier League is to be played out to half empty stadiums or even, majority corporate venues

It's within the rules, tactics are just that, fine by me. Sergeant may receive a 7 day injury suspension though so hope it would be worth while for him.

55-35 to the Stars - Poole are S#!+

Agree with regards to Stefan but always gets himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. A quality rider constantly on the injury list. I personally think it would be madness to bring Andersen back.

You are joking I hope. Andersen averaged 2 from 3 home fixtures and coming back from injury. S.Lambert is averaging 3.20 from 2. Bringing Andersen back is suicide with home wins soooooo vitally important to making the Play-Offs.
