We said on the pod in Wednesday that Lynn taking advantage of a vulnerable Sheffield and Leicester doing the same to a vulnerable Ipswich would give our chances a massive shot in the arm and so it proved. From a Lynn point of view isolating Ipswich as the team who we can realistically overhaul is probably our best chance, another home defeat for them would be handy. But Lynn need to win at Northampton twice and be unblemished at home as a minimum to get 4th IMO.

Get in lads, great result. We needed to take advantage of a weaker Sheffield team and we did.

Why on earth would Doyle not ride for Hurry? Bizarre.

Well Ipswich did visit last week........🦠

Would agree with that, don't think there was a huge amount between all three, could have been any combination really. Niels was obviously the right choice and had won heat 14 but either of the other two would have checked out had they gated.

Also televised/streamed meetings tend to run for a couple of hours do they not? A three hour broadcast with half an hour each end for build up/analysis? Last night finished just after half 9. Most meetings this year have been done by 9:15, any quicker than that and personally I'd feel short changed.

Only exists for bonus points I believe.

I'm sure I read somewhere at some point that Torun have a fixture but can't provide a link as I can't remember 👎

I think Jenkins hit the deck in part because Zagar straightened up and slowed, trouble is Jordan was already out of shape and not really anywhere near Zagar so excluding him was correct. Don't understand why Zagar wasn't disqualified too though, he clearly wasn't under power when the red lights went on. One if a number of bizarre calls by a pretty poor ref. Lynn were back to their awful gating ways and got away with a draw really, Northampton could and perhaps should have won that. I'm fearing what's to come on Thursday at Sheffield.

Five heat wins at home is dreadful but fair play to Northampton, they thoroughly deserved that if not more. Back to the drawing board for Lynn!

This referee is horrendous.

Expecting this to be tighter than last Thursday with all the ex Lynn men in the Foxes side, Batch could be a proper nuisance at reserve.

Not a huge amount of difference from what I've seen.

You certainly looked like the weakest team on paper to most people but some of the rhetoric was massively OTT.

Really impressed with him at Lynn on Thursday, 100% never-say-die kind of rider by the looks of things.

Who are the two missing riders and what are they up to?

Seemed to me they graded it regularly last night whereas against Leicester the dirt was allowed to build up out wide which made things tricky.

Really enjoyable evening, some good racing and a Lynn win, what's not to like. Witches finally sent packing.

Belle Vue's track is a massive draw for tempting riders over/ back over.

Folk sitting at home cat buy Buster's beer and burgers, I suspect thats the bottom line. Woul be nice to see it trialled though to see how it effects crowds and refreshment sales.
