Where do Kent go ,now that Andersen has signed for Berwick? How many points have they got to play with? With meetings coming up at Redcar and Poole...they need someone!!!

Yes...does not look good for Kent now?

I think there is more to this than just the football,covid! Like....the weather coming up,tannoy problems (continued problem for a while now),getting injured rider back and get another signing in...IMHO? p . s.....also these fixtures are now re-arranged hopefully when more can go!

Yes comfortable Poole win...scotty will be ok and the Kent team maybe slightly stronger by then?

Sure the Crump factor had something to do with it (was for me)....good point about next week....never a good thing to do go against TV football!

Agree much bigger tests to come...this is why Kent need to be much stronger IMHO.

Well done Kings for first win....did not look good for most of the meeting. I did not go as I did not find the fixture so attractive without Crump and the Kent team is in need of a bit more strength. Scotty is top class and as worrall showed last night we need another heat leader.Yet to see Heeps but still think we need another one. Starke battles well for his points and I really like Ben (as a rider and really nice bloke). Dan did well as sure he was still feeling the effects of his crash last week! But I really cannot understand Hurry in the team...watched him against Glasgow last week and makes me very nervous watching him.He struggled again last night and that was at Home....away will be even harder? Wonder how many points Kent would have to play with for replacing Bacon and Hurry?Believe we was well below points limit at the begining?

Have to say after really looking forward this....came away really disappointed. Nothing to do with the result...Glasgow by far the better team and deserved the four points.But the track was really tricky at the beginning (for whatever reason/reasons) and that led to losing another two riders injured!!!! Another meeting that was long and drawn out,riders breaking tapes and it takes so long to get the race on again.Did not help having R/R and replacing the injured riders.Just seemed to be so much hanging around...I left before the end and surprised they beat the curfew? Have to say Scotty is pure class and his ride to get Hurry 2 points in Heat 6 was a real team player and leader. Watching Hurry is very nervous thing to do after all his injuries etc....Starke and Bacon showed glimpses of what they are capable of and Ben battled for his 7 points.But not having Heeps and losing Dan early was curtains. Really need another Heat leader to take pressure off Scott...otherwise can only see bottom place for Kings.

At last Kings first meeting in a higher tier. R/R for Heeps and young Mulford at No 8. Going to be a tough meeting,both teams with riders who`s form at the moment is patchy. My heart says 48-42...but my head says 43-47!

You could be right....but still think it is going to be a big win for Eagles....something like 55-35?

Heeps out now as well. Really fear a real tonking for Kings!!!!!!

Speedway continues to shoot itself in the foot. Sounds a complete farce. LET THE RESULT STAND as least!!!!!!!!

Can`t help feeling the Kings let slip their ONE chance of an AWAY win this year! On the plus side...six Kings won a heat and young Gilkes is looking a real diamond. Sure lot of the crowd turned up to see Crump....but doubt he would have done as well as King? Looking forward to the Kings first home meeting (at last!!!!!)

A fair result by sounds of it. Kent have two absolute diamonds in Gilkes and Mulford. When was the last time a Home team went through a whole meeting without ONE SECOND PLACE????

I am not going today,but will give my prediction. Think Royals overall strength will see a victory.Knight will score well,but Kent with Kingsley,Gilkes and Rob will be decisive. I went to Frittenden grasstrack yesterday and young Mulford looks so stylish and promising. So I will go for 48-42 to the Royals...then again I could be miles out!

Scotty smashed the T/R!

Agree...really distasteful comments....he must be suffering to cry off and as you say coming back after his injuries.

Bad reaction to Covid jab.

Paul Hurry out.....R/R!

Very true....and with Leicester moved to next month...means tasty looking fixtures all through June!

UNREAL!.....April dry as a bone....and May turns into a wash out????? Only in Speedway.

I enjoyed the meeting...some good Speedway on a great track. Result in doubt throughout meeting,presentation by Eurosport was good. Riders with Poland meeting experience really shone,but other riders put in good efforts. I have to say I enjoy listening to the Chuckle brothers...great banter. Hope weather behaves itself tonight as I am off to the Kings debut meeting.

Have to say this ,I have been looking forward too this meeting for ages....Championship Speedway at last. Got the look of a close meeting....just hope the weather behaves.

Agree...teams look so much smarter and professional in team suits.

Shocked with the news....no age. RIP Jon....spoke to him a few times at Lakeside.
