Hope forecast is right, been raining all morning 10 miles south east of Norwich KL is apparently dry...

Thought it had been changed to Leicester v KL. Not sure of reasons. All will be confirmed during tonight's GP I suspect...

Top 4 is looking like Poole, Somerset, Stars. Swindon look perilous with number of matches ridden, so Belle Vue need Wolves to get nothing from these matches so Bewley or Fricke would be best option. Cook is too unpredictable. R/r too risky for double header

Why is it a a rip off? Half price for second meeting sounds reasonable. BUT if injuries and delays turn it into a fiasco, then it ain't reasonable!

Not ideal, but guess options are limited this close to play offs. Just hope neither team start with r/r so we have a fighting chance of getting 2 reasonable meetings. Also notice it's a 7pm start makes it tight after work...

Lynn reserves will do well to get more than a point between them, unless a different Newman turn up on Wednesday. Our top 5 might do enough to scrape a point. Be interesting to see the effect of riding order change for stars, at least we shouldn't keep losing heat 1....

Clearly didn't come across well on TV. For those of us at the track it was a good match, close score, close racing, a few passes and the rebels went home pointless. Stars certainly need to look at reserve positions, not sure I'd persevere with Newman at reserve on Wednesday. Awful tonight. Managed to make Lambert (s) look good. Could do with MPT back at reserve, so if that means replacing garrity then so be it....

Would have to consider something like that. Depends on how fit garrity is, especially if his hand ain't gonna be healed for a few weeks. Getting MPT back at reserve would be a real bonus

Thought had crossed my mind. Give him a couple of guest appearances to see how he goes. Smart move...

Robert Lambert....wow!!!!! Stunning display. All round solid display from the rest of stars. According to twitter garrity has broken bone in his hand so Kyle Newman guesting on Monday and Wednesday. Hope he's not out long or it's back to drawing board for a replacement....

Hope so, planning to use mine tonight. Could be another close one. Looks like two fairly evenly matched sides. I'd be happy with win, but not as close as Monday please. I was nervous just watching scores on twitter!

Hope buster can give garrity a bit of track time ahead of this match. He'll need to be dialled in against the pirates reserves.

Was a great bit of advertising, not seen any post match report on main steam BBC sport though. :-(

S/R (spectator replacement) for me on Monday. Should be back on the terraces on Wednesday. Will be keeping a close eye on this. A must win match for both teams to keep play off hopes alive. Everything will be crossed for a stars win. I'll take any sort of win as this could be close. Harris certainly makes Poole a bit stronger, but with the Stars back to a full side we should have enough in the tank for the win.

Would Connor mountain fit at number 7? Surely a better bet than Lambert...?

Woooo...hooooo - cracking result for the stars

Good choice!

Hope Ty is fit, will need him for two of Kerr's rides and probably one of Simon Lambert's. Anything S Lambert scores will be a bonus

Hope that's not the case. Seems to happen every year, goes pear shaped due injuries or holder-gate, then we seem to give up cos it's too hard or expensive to sort properly. Or we just continue with poor performing riders too long. We'll never win the league at this rate :-(

As its 28 day I was assuming it then allows Kasper back after a month. I guess in the scheme of things Simon isn't too bad a replacement, but had hoped for better. Getting the right rider for number 2 position is now quite crucial....

With the way Somerset, Swindon, Belle Vue are going it's going to be tough to make the playoffs. Need decent replacements for Kerr and Anderson now. The silence from the stars camp is deafening. Can't muddle on with guests or r/r for any matches really. Its bad enough with the Danish clashes. Not sure who the right riders are, but S Lambert or any other has bean is not the answer.

I know the answer is probably no, but would Harris or Nichols fit with a 3 pointer in place of Kasper? Don't think r/r over the long term is a good option with out two scoring reserves. Think we need to get replacement/s asap. Not sure of Kerr's prognosis, but can't imagine he'll be back this season.

You and me both. That was horrible to see and I have to say I feared the worst. Couldn't really get that far from my mind on the long drive home. Then to wake up this morning and seeing his tweet of him being ok with 'just' a broken shoulder was nothing short of remarkable.

Dale tweeted 3 hours ago that Lewis has spiral fracture of left leg. Kasper has severe concussion and broken shoulder.

What a rubbish way to have to end tonight. Bad enough for Lewis to be injured, but then that awful crash for Kasper. Very best wishes to them both. P.S. sort that bloody roving mike out. Even when it works can only hear mike man, but riders are impossible to hear.
