Enjoyed my visit in Thursday but, with Lewis B at reserve and favourite for all but one of the RR rides, I thought we would be in for a heavy defeat. Lewis's injury weakened the Bears but Konopka stood in for him well and grabbed himself a couple of points, unlike lately. Surprised how well we came back especially the 1-5 against Lawson, who was almost unbeatable in previous visits. Track was really good for a change, but the vast difference between inside and outside lines meant the main riding up beside the fence. Great race with Wilko and Rose late on. On this form, I would welcome Rene back anytime at Brough. He, along with Kenni, are held in high esteem as people, as well as riders, and it was great to cheer on one of our 'own' as a guest. Had decent company with HT and the usual Bear friends. My mate bought the last pie and pies, so I had to eat at the van. Check out next time the young assistant with black hair. Nearly went back for a third burger. Despite the result, I enjoyed the visit and gladly settled for the point at the end.

I heard he could not join the PL. No more DU's. He was looking good and attacking the track round the boards. He went in trying to catch someone, and his engine overspeed, meaning he had dropped the primary, and seemed to land very heavy on his left shoulder. Took awhile with treatment on the track, and looked very frail when he first stood up. Went back to pits in the Ambulance, and I don't think it surprised many when it was announced he was withdrawn from the meeting.

Nah, ya reet.

Yes, but you would not be riding a fixed team, which is why you act in case you get more injuries. Having Christian and say Dimitre, out means you have to guest at a price, and overload the rest of the team with RR. Not the way to manage if you want to stabilise your team.

Only one, and we didn't get RR when Mark rode for us, but Redcar gets RR against us tonight. Oh the irony.

Where did you get the info 'in the interest of British Speedway' from. Then read my post. OK.

Easy to knock, but they had to try something with Christian being out for another 28 days. What would have happened is someone else gets injured.

No actually. Not in the rules that he can.

Is this a windup. From memory, British Speedway doesn't see your money either.

No chance. Rene not as good as King, and no Kerr. Bears RR for Lemon and Blackbird for Jan. Never in doubt now.

They'll need long range binoculars then.

Confirmed now in our local paper that Rene does deputise for Danny King tonight.

That's the Monarchs knackered then.

Just been told that Cookie can't make tonights meeting for personal reasons, and he is replaced by Rene B. Anybody confirm or deny it please.

Guest or R/R. Grieves out of retirement ?

Of course it is, but you seem obsessed to imply that the two meetings are linked when the reasons are entirely different. Drop the bone.

And that's all it is really. Your opinion.

Not by choice tho screm.

I wish it was a habit we had. Not done it lately.

Obviously ignoring what went on before today regarding being a reserve. Being loyal to a rider, but perhaps it is you that needs your heed checked.

But that's on the first bend surely.

Thoroughly enjoyed tonights meeting with passion, decent racing, fair track, and an even better result. All the talking down of Rosco, and the team members, has made the doom mongers look quite stupid. TBF I Didn't expect it myself, but I at least was prepared for our team to put up a decent performance. They didn't disappoint, and if other teams offer you the chance to take points, and you take them, you then deserve them. Be interesting to watch the other 2 rounds not caring who gets through, as I can't see us bothering the bigger teams in the Final.

Got to get back the racing lines on the outside of the second and forth bends for a good swoop. Used to be great to watch, especially the final bend on the last lap.

Hope Shadders reads this. Thanks.
