This nonsense that Lambert scoring 13 (9 more points) would have won the meeting is ridiculous. Here's why. Heat 1, Lambert 2+1. 4 point swing 42-48 Heat 6, Lambert 3, Riss 1. 2 point swing 43-47 Heat 10, as is, no result change there. 43-47 Heat 13, Lambert 3, Jorgensen 1. 2 point swing 44-46. What would of happened in heat 15 would be pure guess work but say he was in the heat and he won, Riss would have been in and he fell so 3-3. 4 point swing 46-44. A 2 point win for the Stars, not really an improvement over a 2 leg meeting. So prior to heat 15 Lambert would have been 11+1, but Riss would have only been 8+2 rather than 11 and Jorgensen 7+1 rather than 8+1. All in all, over a 2 leg meeting not good enough. Andersen is a poor poor poor signing. The middle order doesn't have that strength in depth from 2-5 and Palm-Toft is a reserve and nothing else, not strong enough in that position to have 6-7 rides to cover others. These first 2 meetings have made things very clear. There's no backup for Lambert and Palm-Toft can't make up for Andersen.

Possibility too of replacing both Proctor and Andersen for me. Solid replacements and push Kerr back down to reserve, has to be the only way forward for me.

The question is irrelevant, Riss is the better rider of the two. Would rather have Riss for the back end of the meeting than his programme rides done by heat 10.

It doesn't matter, only the top rider has to be No'1.

I just don't get why Riss isn't at No'5. Ridiculous to have Jorgensen in that position imo

I do wonder if he's running last year's gear to make riding British Speedway worth while. The only new stuff he's shown on social media has been the club covers.

It is life but also rude

surely you wasn't told just like that?

I get slagged for being negative yet nobody has gone for a home win I thought this team was meant to be good enough to challenge seeing as it's basically the same team as the table toppers Dear oh dear, you negative bunch. What's the saying "If you don't like it, don't go"

Never thought you'd pass up the track photo's, what's the crack with you Steve??

Correct and the legal system is moving onside with open air music and sporting venues. It is now the responsibility of the developer and agents to be frank and open with buyers and renters, if not, they are now liable and can be taken to court.

Snap, until there's regular reviews of the racing improving and Keith making things a little more supporter friendly I'm out. The AFA has just become a boring place to be. Will hopefully be watching them away but only at Belle Vue, Swindon and Wolverhampton.

The weather system is moving slower than predicted first thing this morning. The rain is almost guaranteed from around 1730 - 2100. Only a 30% chance of no rain. A glimmer of sunshine a couple of hours ago but now the cloud is rolling in again.

Likely to be off, rain predicted all afternoon

He's cheaper than Simon because Kasper scores f@ all points to get paid

Not quite right, I want Buster to fail. On paper King's Lynn, Ipswich and now Peterborough are the weakest 3 teams in the league. Many people also agree with that. Do you know what makes tonight worst? Even 2nd tier Leicester managed 42 points at Ipswich

Anyone think this Stars team will deliver needs a reality check. Reserves abysmal and asking Kerr to deliver in the top 5 is a an ask. If Lambert has a bad day we're stuffed as proven. 1st meeting of the season or not, we've been shown up big time against the other weakest team in the league. Let the Wooden Spoon battle commence with this current septet.

I'm not no Buster fan but the situation at Peterborough was caused initially by Rathbone over budgeting and Cook's sulking and greed. As for Tungate being better than a spiralling Harris is laughable. Harris is a good team player and when the chips are down he can pull something out the bag. Tungate is just one of those steady rider's nobody talks about. Beat nobody of significance against Belle Vue whereas Harris would of likely won at least one of those heats. Harris every time over Tungate.

Harris, Andersen, Cook, Wilson-Dean, Wright, Bjerre, Barker = Cheap If you believe that you'll believe anything

Just repeating what was said by someone else. What was said seems to be what exactly happened. Would be one hell of a coincidence if it ain't true don't you think? Buster takes over, rider's gone before a wheel turned.

What's the real situation then?

You was warned weeks ago about the situation. Ged was selling the club regardless. Buster was the only one to come forward and Ged sold to him. Ged signed the rider's on HIS budget but was warned by Buster that the only way Ged was keeping that team is if he could find another buyer or sponsors who could budget the team. None was found, Buster took control and rider's had to play ball within his budget or leave. Harris and Cook have chosen to leave. All in all, the blame really is with Ged for over budgeting the septet and lying to the fans. We even had Watson on here saying it was nonsense then exactly the above happened.

What a laugh pressing an option on Twitter is I suppose some are easily entertained

The reason I find the fan voting nonsense so tedious is it really has no bearing on the meeting. You jave a pick between the top 4 scorers. It's totally irrelevant and nullified which heat they go in. It's just a pointless exercise imo

Yes it does, as highlighted above. Think you probably miss understood what Robin meant. You can't only have 3 rider's available for heat 15, that would be ridiculous. But I suppose it wouldn't have been, this is British Speedway of course
