You have lost me with this one , come to think of it you lose most after the first paragraph. Now has a close member of my family been feeding you a line and you have been biting by any chance , or did the beer set in and all you heard was broad Glaswegian accents and you didn't really know what they were saying, so you just nodded your head like the Churchill dog in agreement.

Homophobic comments about bikes now .

Don't think the 28 day ban will bother him too much, probably a good thing in the long run to take at least that length of time away from it to try and sort his head out in what he wants to do in the long run.

I have said all along the problem is cutting the team average down to a ridiculous level , it now means riders are thrown in against riders they have no chance against based on there average rather than there ability. It will do more harm than good when the distinct possibility of some of these young riders chucking it due to there confidence being shot to bits , they should have been allowed to progress at there own pace rather than thrown in at the deep end with next to no chance of doing anything As for Chessell this just highlights the average watering down, if they had been the 42 they should he would have been nowhere near a CL reserve position as is the case with most.

Ooops computer going a bit haywire.

Yes, but a rider like Luke coming back from serious injury was always going to find it difficult and not to be mocked. It can't be easy for any rider in that position Anyway my mother always said if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything.

Can't be disappointed then. To be fair with the watering down of the averages again, any team that isn't performing as expected it will be very difficult to do anything until the team average goes up in June.

Luke Ruddick guesting in place of Chessell. It was a case of when and not if he decided to step down as he was so far off the pace.

Another good meeting Cook missing the gate should be mandatory, Jensen is proving me wrong as he is looking good and once Starkey gets going we will look pretty formidable, he seemed to be down on power compared to the rest of the team. And as for Young Kyle another accomplished night from him, all in all another step to were we want to be in terms of race sharpness.

I predict the arctic blast we are getting later to win this. Rain forecast for later with snow on higher ground , just checked and yes it is May.

Don't think Workington was ever a trick track, was one of the biggest tracks in the league and anytime I went the racing was a good watch.

Away Win without a doubt. By at least 20

Fair enough, I was surprised at the very few heat winners you had but the season is still in it's infancy.

Who cares, i would be more worried about your riders not winning races. Thought that would be more of a concern to you rather than the opposition number 1 dominating your heat leaders.

Well at least you got that right, pretty one sided and comfortable win for the stripes.

I can see home wins for both, would take a point if offered just now anything more is a bonus. Can't make it tomorrow due to work but safe meeting to the 14 riders and a Glasgow win would be nice, but as i say realistically a point is all we will get.

Edinburgh should win by about 20. If they don't there is something wrong with morale.

A Jim Carrey quote but yes it doesn't look very promising going by what you say.

Correct.

Jack indicated he would like to cut down on his travelling due to his day job.

Couldn't really make it out was there a problem with the lights ? .

Thing is they will hate whatever we do so it won't make any difference. Take it as a backhanded compliment, I am glad we get under there skin there pain is a joy to behold.

Lowering the points limit didn't exactly help matters, all it has done is water the product down even more meaning teams are introducing young riders or in Luke's case an injured rider returning who are not ready for this level. They are given team places based on average rather than ability , it will do more harm than good in the long run.

He may have underestimated how the serious injury has affected him, the problem with Speedway is if you are not 100% committed you will most likely get another injury as is often the case. Think Luke will know himself that he is doing nobody in favours especially to himself, nice lad but I can't see anything improving anytime soon.
