Oh gawd....never rains.... Hope not to serious and he makes a speedy recovery

One wonders if Jack needed to tend his sick child as well (hope they are OK BTW, whatever it is..) so to save face Sheffield wanted a postponement as well....stead has been remarkable quiet on the situation....

Not sure I'd want tofty back in the team, he used to be almost 3rd heat leader standard, but when he last rode for us he was pretty pish... Basso?

Bit of rain today but mostly dry thereafter would have made perfect conditions. Obvious to everyone it's an injury rain off... would have potentially been bans for jan and Ben if they didn't ride... Best all round for us. No different to early ipswich call off a few weeks back

Thats what I'm expecting tbh...

He has indeed

If we have that team, leicester will produce a rough track with their win at all costs attitude they admitted last time we were in town. S0d the entertainment... ....and we wonder why crowds are poor

If it's a dislocated shoulder, I'm no expert, but I'd be surprised if it's just a week out. When will we actually have some good luck for a change...

I was surprised Rob didn't do that - he is normally more on the ball and one of the best team managers in the league

Like your positive attitude, but we rarely do anything half decent at Owlerton. Should be able to keep it closer than normal, but I still fear a 10+ point defeat. Prove me wrong Stars.... PLEASE!

That's a cunning plan Baldric....

Assume Ben has a visa to live in the uk so needs to ride here as part of visa conditions.... if he's not riding here then does he have to go back to Australia so can't ride in Poland either? Different situation to Musielak...

Or a fit Ben Cook could have made a difference.... or Kildermand not got injured at the weekend. All 'if' 'buts' and 'maybes'. It's what happens on the day and over the last few seasons we've had more than our fair share of things not working out for reason or another. We won, we happy, on to the next one! 3 points behind Leicester... c'mon the stars...

Good win for the Stars. Doyle clearly not fit in his first 2 rides, gating and trying to ride smoothly round inside. Turned up to avoid 28 day ban so he can ride later in week in Poland? Ipswich seemed to crumble after he pulled out, or did it just give the stars a morale boost. Either way, it turned the match. Klindt and to a lesser degree Lawson looked really poor in first few rides then suddenly turn into match winners. Good debut for Jody, very promising. Nki was trying hard, but for whatever reason wasn't quite working for him tonight. Kvech and Bomber just brilliant... After PK pulled out I feared the worst so to end up with a good win was a massive bonus. After Emil, the only real Ippo rider to show much fight was Jenkins

Don't think we'll see Ben Cook as he is already expecting a 28 day ban. Be interesting to see if Doyle turn up. Either way, it's gonna be another hard meeting that we need to win to keep play off hopes alive - will be a handful of points either way, hopefully we can sneak it again....
