It's in the sponsors Trucks R Us colours. I hate the new suits with a passion. King's Lynn Stars are Blue & Yellow and these colours should be the most dominant, not f'in black

It's not about believing, it's now down to BVA to prove without all considerable doubt that they were not involved with the track build. Just a personal opinion to the question, does it make sense for BVA to agree to substandard material? In fact, yes it does. It's already been made clear that BVA had no track building experts 1 of 3 BVA members could have just said 'just get it done, nobody needs to know. I won't say anything' BVA would have been desperate to get the track completed for opening night

I hope so for their own personal sake. Taking on any council for such a high value can be hugely financially​ damaging if they lose. Obviously the loses are already big but this court case could end up catastrophic. Regardless of my thoughts on the case, as a human being I certainly don't wish the people involved in BVA serious financial hardships to the point they and the family end up on the street.

Surely Belle Vue has to be in consideration as a 2nd UK venue?

It's either muddying the waters or fact. Either way, what the MCC have done is put it in BVA's court to prove that they were involved in the track build. If BVA can't prove they wasn't involved in the track build the legal case for losses will collapse. It's as simple as that. The whole case is about BVA recovering losses which predominantly is all around track issues. MCC have obviously got something in hand to cover themselves.

Personally, I'd go Simon Lambert on a 5.26 That would give you 3.43 to replace Shanes

I assume you wasn't standing anywhere near turns 1-2 then as dust was a big problem. Absolutely covered head to toe by the end of the meeting. But you're right in that had it been an evening meeting it would have run much quicker simply because less track work would have been needed Standing in between turns 1-2 I was very grateful of the track grades and watering. Yes, I do agree it was a long afternoon but I suppose, because I expected it being quite a warm sunny afternoon & a GP format meeting I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, has any SGP / SEC / SWC meeting ever been completed in 2hrs? All in all 27 Heats 7 Heats Rerun 3 Due To Tape Replacements 4 Crashes 3 Of Which Required Medical Attention, Lambert's (rightly so) causing the longest delay The start was delayed but while Lambert was on parade we were treated to an RAF Marham flyby with 6 Tornado GR4's flanking the A330 Voyager (Air to Air Refueller). All part of the show I'd say All in all, a great afternoon out I'd say

They don't need to. Just the fact that BVA and the track curator being in dialogue during the track build cover their backside. So, you can make that look a number of ways. ISG removed it without anyone else knowing MCC advised ISG to remove it but that would make no sense as the MCC required it as evidence to claim against ISG BVA advised ISG to remove the material ASAP as they were getting extremely desperate to get the season under way after the opening night balls-up Issue is, it requires somebody to admit they gave authority but everyone is blaming somebody else. This is where it's at right now MCC could/have claimed compensation against ISG which is the correct process being they're the ones spending the big bucks BVA are looking to claim losses/damages against MCC predominantly due to the issue with the track, to which caused BVA to loss income revenue. What the MCC have done is state BVA, as track specialists, were in dialogue with ISG over the track build. In law, for BVA to be successful in claiming loss of revenue from MCC they now have to prove they WERE NOT involved in the build of the track.

I'm assuming that the Spiller brothers have signed their allegiance to Germany then?

You did and the rule states that 2 Brits have to be in the 1-7 all season.

After yesterday it will only be a short term thing. Sargeant was absolutely shocking

The MCC are being very clever putting certain information in the public domain. Most certainly on the advice of their legal team. Putting out there publicly that BVA & the track curator was involved with the track build, seeing as this is a major part of the legal loss recovery, it now becomes BVA's responsible to prove otherwise.

I have to say, the mascot is impressive. I haven't seen anything like it before, every Premiership club should have one.

Didn't see 1 Gerhard at the Simon Lambert testimonial yesterday. As I said before though, most of these engines won't be purchased until riders start blowing up their Jawa / GM's anyway. 2018 and beyond is where we may start to see a transition

All the same, the running of the meeting had nothing to do with King's Lynn

The running of that meeting had nothing to do with King's Lynn except it was run at the stadium. Onesport had total control of proceedings, Buster just graded the track when required.

Looks like I'm the only one that thoroughly enjoyed the afternoons entertainment

Any fears regarding Doyle's fitness and mentality have been put to bed already. Swindon were right to keep him.

Wouldn't count on King being available for 6th May. Leicester have this date reserved in their fixture list

Lyon has promised they won't be slow to react to poor performers again. I guess time will tell.

Don't think we need to worry to much. I don't believe the promotion will take fools next season. Under achievers will be binned off and if to many meetings are missed they'll get replaced too. Think it's a wait and see as to how many rearranged fixtures happen in Poland

Can't imagine that would be Ford's thought process otherwise he would never have employed Kasprzak, who is well known for giving up if he's not winning races.

Which would destroy a young riders confidence more 1,0,0,0 or 1,0,0 I'd say the former. These guys being around the pits with the more experienced riders is where they'll learn the most. The number of rides between 3 or 4 isn't going to affect confidence much to the No7s unless they're a bit big head.

Well, clearly i do

Any track under 320m is small imo and Birmingham is 294m
