Daniel Smith

Absolutely it isn't what he does here that counts. Not many UK tracks are high speed like Poland, Belle Vue and the GP's. And to put it bluntly, he's been pretty s#!+ at all. What he does at Leicester, Lakeside, Wolverhampton etc in league fixtures counts for nothing

It's down to how the fans have been treated in the past for TV meetings. Crowds were good when live speedway on the TV first came along but the trust from the fans of both the TV companies and Promoters has been lost. No end of meetings when the weather has been iffy TV & clubs have conned supporters into conditions being perfect for racing. You turn up and track work is going on, rider's not interested & the meeting goes ahead with the aim of reaching the cut-off to declare a result. The fans & entertainment value is never thought about. Normally King's Lynn matches on Sky are pretty well supported but this week it had pretty much rained all day so I'm sure many like me would be thinking 'this is going to be a race to heat 10 & I'm not spending £17 for that'.

The latter

So Harris comes 3rd in a GP & all of a sudden he's a Worldy and nobody else is good enough for GB Let's see how he gets on at Cardiff first plus other league fixtures before you get carried away

I think the squad system could work but imo the asset system has to be scrapped for it to happen & work. I would be wrong to be paying loan fee's for riders that may only appear in 2-3 meetings, or even none at all. Squad system = Open book on riders. If a rider feels they're not getting the number meetings they feel they should there should be an 'Open Transfer List' that shows publicly a riders availability. Squad make-up of 10 based on 6 man teams: ABC grading groups 3 Heatleaders (7.50+ average) 4 2nd String (4.50 - 7.49) 3 Reserves (3.00 - 4.49) 1 must be U21 Averages are only viable at the start of the season and all riders ride in their graded positions all season but team positions are in any position the team manager wishes. Team make-ups: Reserve Heatleaders 2nd Strings Example Line-up's: Reserve 2nd String Heatleader Heatleader 2nd String 2nd String Heatleader Heatleader Reserve 2nd String 2nd String 2nd String

Who's in the 10 is irrelevant as we'd have to have a bit of an injury jinx not to have a stronger side than the inclusions of either Worrall's, Garrity, Lawson etc. After a bit of a settling down period and common sense thinking from the British Final I don't have King as a cert either. The 3 certs for me are: Woffinden Cook Lambert Then it's between Nicholls, Harris & King for the last spot with Bates as the U21

Do I

Poole will hit 60 We're sh1+e, nothing else to add

Batchelor is by no means past it or unable to hold on. As I said earlier he's score 3 double figure scores in the Danish league & all this Month. 15 from 6 rides 12 from 6 13+1 from 6 His performances for the Stars are inexcusable & answers are required

There are unacceptable performances from some riders but I'm far more concerned by the total lack of any atmosphere around the club. Fans are switching off and it's like none of the management gives a s#!+, the whole place is like a morgue.

Thinking more along the lines of 34-26 and called at heat 10. Weather at the moment a little hit & miss

Again, why are people still responding to robert72 on this thread. He dislikes Woffinden is evident & you're not going to change his mind

Not spending my money on this one with the rain about. Save some hard earned and watch it on the box There is now a serious accident on the A17 at Terrington St Clement just to add to the delays

Just so you're aware on last season, Tai only had his own bikes for the British Final. For the semi round at King's Lynn he had to use his girlfriend's brother's bikes (Layne Cupitt) due to his being unavailable. Again, the BSPA found it wise to plonk this Semi Final (20th May) in between 2 GP's on consecutive weekends of the 16th & 23rd of May. Tai was without his own machines & mechanics.

Raining for the last hour

Batchelor has no excuses this week after knocking in 3 double figure scores in 3 Danish league fixtures running for Region Varde. Poor score against Coventry at home and fingers will be pointing, especially if ending in defeat

Woryna has just Tweeted he's unavailable for this through curcumstances out of his control

Correct, contracts still have to be agreed on a yearly basis whether you're an asset of the club or not. It is yes to both those sentences. To your first point, it'll only apply if he signed a deal to a UK club to which he had not and can't be forced to. To your second point, that's a yes regardless whether he's signed for a British club or not as other federations do. So, who's fault is it that none of that is in place? Just as a clue, the answer isn't Tai Woffinden

Because his own National federation will void his licence if he goes against his Polish clubs ruling so wouldn't be able to fulfil his Leicester commitments anyway.

Didn't go because I didn't believe for an U21 World Final £20 + £5 to sit in the stand (which I'd have required) offered VFM After watching it on YouTube I feel the decision was justified not to attend. Nobody has given a valid reason for the pricing of this fixture when compared to other's in recent seasons at King's Lynn. Sorry Haza that your so upset by the turn out but clearly many many people didn't believe VFM was on offer. As for Wednesday, if the weather looks shaky, yes I will on the basis of VFM watch it on TV

No but he's recently purchased B.A.R. motors so imagine it'll have been those

Changed my opinion, Josh Bates for SWC U21 reserve spot

Night all, sweet dreams xxx
