Strange how some meeting come across on TV to being there. It was a hugely improved meeting with riders that just want to do their best on a grippy surface rather than moan about it. We lost, well done to Somerset for the win & offering some excellent entertainment. Really enjoyed tonight, terrific atmosphere just like the PL days. A very happy Stars fan who's very happy with the team. Couldn't care less if we don't win another meeting in 2017. ⭐⭐ UP THE STARS ⭐⭐

All of that is a repeat of comments made about Lambert

This Bewley talk reminds me of just 2-3 years ago with regards to Robert Lambert. I don't think he's all that's cracked up to be to be perfectly honest

The reason to hold these meeting at the relevant league tracks is to make some money. The majority of the crowds are made up of home fans, have it at a neutral venue the crowds will undoubtedly be very poor

Over time yes it would, look what's happened to the American's when we brought in average restrictions for none commonwealth. Time to do the same for all none European

Depends on how you look at it. If you're looking at the forecast images they just show cloudy but the information on most shows precipitation at 47%+ from around 1pm - 1am. That means rain is to be expected but when is a guess

Not just money, it's also how erratic the fixtures are.

Rain expected all day tomorrow, £10 or not many people will be put off

Just be grateful there were no Aussie's in it, that track tonight was far worse that "That Thursday" Credit to all the riders who just got on with it

You're right, at the end of the day King's Lynn don't suffer regardless of the result. I'm sure Buster wouldn't mind a 75-15 defeat as that would be a cheaper bill to pay and it only affects the Leicester fans that turn up for this one

Oh right, so where's the benefit in the Aussies doing runners to Poland?!?

You seem to have a contradiction in your attitude. In one hand you're angry with the GP series for having a detrimental effect on British Speedway, then on the other couldn't care less about Aussies taking the p!ss

It looks like the though of me having more regular visits to the showground is off, my head can't take another dodgy promoter

That does more damage than good for British Speedway setting a poor example for future riders from around the World. Getting to the business end of the season and Peterborough just except Holder can swan off

It seems more than ever British Speedway is being taken for a ride and just being used for VISA's to ride abroad. Now Jack Holder is playing the game, a relatively new rider to Speedway across here and no doubt already being influenced. Maybe we should now do what we did to the American's many years ago. 7 average or above in the top league or VISA's are no longer renewed 9 Average or above in the 2nd league or VISA's are no longer renewed

I'd assume Jack Thomas is in for Jonasson as he's missing for none speedway commitments. Thus meaning it's an NL guest or a better guest and a 21 day ban for Jonasson.

They have and it wouldn't surprise me if King's Lynn do but what are they to do when Premiership riders don't want the bookings?!?

It's the sort of guests you have to expect on a Saturday fixture. The better riders ain't interested in guest booking's for weekend fixtures

Think we're at that point in the season where clubs are getting desperate to fulfill fixtures. We're gonna have to live with guests & R/R from here on in

I too really really hope it's Doyle as he fully deserves it but he is putting everything on the line for his clubs to. Jason leaves nothing behind but this could be his downfall to being World Champion

Also I think Batch knew he was wanted at Poole. Why else would he mention them and complain and state that Poole were desperate for riders?!? If he wasn't contacted by Poole, how would he know?!?

It would be a strange phone call as Holder's average is above Fricke's and Belle Vue are already above the 42 average

I've had an explanation and it does stack up Buster had approval from Ford to speak to Gomolski & Jonasson and also Palm-Toft In return Batchelor & Holder WERE going to Poole but approval had to be confirmed. King's Lynn team could have been 1. Lambert 7.52 2. Huckenbeck 6.09 3. Palm-Toft 6.33 4. Jorgensen 6.08 5. Jonasson 5.69 6. Gomolski 5.51 7. Porsing 4.69 Ave: 41.91 This team was rejected as there wasn't 2 Brits in the team at all times. The intention was to run a 3rd reserve (Simon Lambert) for when a rider was missing but this isn't covered within the rules. Buster was in a last minute scramble to find a Brit replacement for 1 of the new 3 riders. Auty was then submitted in place of Gomolski very late on the Friday. Due to how late the new team was submitted the BSPA only gave the approval on the Saturday. Ford couldn't seek approval to have Holder & Batchelor included because they weren't released by King's Lynn. King's Lynn couldn't release riders until approval was issued (you seen what happened at Ipswich).
