Lots of riders go well at AFA, but it is these matches that should attract the fans and when the home team has to rise to the occasion. Sure, it will be tight, BV can easily be victorious, but we have to believe in ourselves. We are more than capable of beating ANY team on our day. We need to be positive. The enthusiasm the fans showed against Somerset has to be recreated. I am sure we can win this if the riders race with the same sort of passion. Wolves showed what can be done last night, Prediction: Grippy track-: KL 50 - BV 40

Is that 4 home and 4away for the team or for each individual rider ? We are led to believe the Teams total will be recalculated to max 42 pts from that some point in May. For this to be fair, all teams will have to be amended from a said DATE and each club have the same option of rider replacement. Surely a riders CMA will be amended from this point regardless of the number of meetings he has actually rode. These are just a few issues I'm trying to understand... Edit to say: Well done on an impressive home win last night, I thought it would be tight, Freddie and Thorsell were no doubt inspirational

Yeah ! probably ... I hate to lose, it what has driven me all my life. I will admit, having been to RH few times in the past I thought we were capable of getting a point at least from our visit and was quite surprise to be turned over as we were. As you say its still 4 laps on a speedway bike, and you start from the same place, but you forgot to mention: its follow the leader, not allow to overtake, and the first one to the corner always wins. You could have got as much excitement watching riders practising .. .. . . .. one at a time.....

Thank you for the opportunity to witness what happened the other night. Probably I was a bit hasty in my condemnation of some of the Stars main riders in my previous comments. After watching the eight races above it became clear just what a poor track Rye House has become. Having been there many times in the past, I was aware of the small size, but the camber always gave the riders the opportunity to race, now it's a one track excuse that offers nothing. Forget the 4laps requirement, this has been turned into a 20 yd dash to the first corner. I was not aware of any alteration made, but this track has been ruined. It has turned this venue into a farce.....

If anyone knew the answer to that, then probably he could write a book to make a fortune. Like you .... I find It difficult to understand how an accomplished rider like Watt's form has been so poor when, he was once a top rider....

Good riders could get their bikes dialled in after their first ride or track walk. When a young Michael Lee first rode for Lynn , accompanied by his father, his bike would be set up from the start. Many times he shared that information with his team mates. You mentioned Sprocket sizes and Clutch parts, but surely they should be part and parcel of any rider equipped to go racing..... On a track that passing was a premium, it was imperative to make good starts. Surely even our top two speedway riders would know that... . It appears from all reports that Harris, 'not the best gater in the world' substituted top end speed for quick gating. But it brought him 10 points, that included 2 wins.. Just don't think enough importance was put into the task......... We should be better than that....

I've always believed application is everything. Porsing showed what can be achieved when applied. There can be no excuse for the performances from Holder and Lambert, they were shameful. Set up is not rocket science, nor secret, merely an excuse when required.... . The fans deserve far better than that...

It is not the point that Garrity is as strong as KK, The point is Garrity, is far stronger than the 3point replacement you should be using. Yeah Seriously ????. Why is it we are alway talk about Poole when there is a problem with interpretation of the rules...

We have to respect opinions, even when some are way off the mark, Batchelor is one on those riders where opinion are so varied. Bit like KB . Both have the ability to really show those doubters their true credentials.... In this weakened league, there is no better time than now.....

Yeah, but a lot of changes have happens since then, Bikes, Tyres, Track and its preparation, but most of all Batch is a far better rider now then when he rode in his PL .

I believe that the passion and enthusiasm shown by the fans last week was as refreshing as the actually racing. Something we haven't seen at Lynn for some time. If that can be re-created every week, that's bound to rub off on to the riders. seeing the excitement on the terraces again like that... who knows we win by loads

Its difficult to evaluate the outcome of a match when one team has just been surprisingly beaton. Usually a defeat will provide the Providial kick up the ar-e effect on the beaten team, whereas it could have the opposite effect on the opposing side, thinking its easier than first thought. I will stay in the 'Could Do' category and say its possible, we could get something from the meeting ...

Hands up, I got that totally wrong. Thought RH would be better than that, Plus Swindon benefitted big time using RR. But well done to the Robins !!!!

Sure got that one wrong. Probably the heart ruling the head a,nd wanting to see Leicester do well. Well done to Poole Pirates..

I don't think Swindon have enough race winners to trouble RH. Doyle and Morris need to win all their races to be in with a shout, and I cant see them doing that. Comfortable RH win...

I think this is a good time to ride against Poole, with them starting the season quiet shakey . For this reason I can see Leicester capalising on their good start with another close win. If Poole go home with a bonus point then they shoud be pleased... Gone are the days when Poole results were foregone conclusions, and that has to be good.....

Plus against Belle Vue the following week. All will give a much clearer picture of their capability..

Wow !! that's a bit heavy.. Everyone has an off day, KK is a class rider, no doubt about that and he'll come good. But like it was said at the time He is a moody rider and doesn't always perform like a No1 ..

Back in the 70's there were 12 different entry points all able to take the admission. Now, the cost are much more of an issue where added security is a major concern,. But saying that, if people got there early enough there would be no problem.....

We can but hope....

I also think Swindon are up against it with this meeting. They need to firing on all cylinders to stand any chance of success here. BV have this solid look that can provide many match winners. It wouldn't surprise me if BV go home with all 4 points..

That weren't a bad prediction.... Poole aren't out of it yet.....

There's no need to be personal. I have never commented on a replacement, This wasn't the point of a discussion. My point was I thought he Riss was unlucky to be disqualified in the way he was, and that the Ref could have used his digression better in a contest that was very tight. The points that Riss lost, could have made a massive bearing in the overall result... You trying to turn it into something its not, is not necessary

I bet they're plenty of 'Daft riders' who don't know all the rules..... But no doubt the Ref will put that right......

You say Riss should have known better, but do you really believe he thought going round the edge of the starting gate was the same as going across the centre green and was indeed an disqualification. offence.. I very much doubt it. As in all sports, sometimes teams don't get the result some deserve and many reasons can be attributed. In this instance when the 2 teams were separated by a single point, even the smallest discrepancies has massive implications..
