I bet you were well pleased with that result. I think at Lynn whilst I thought Ben Cook was excellent our 6 point lead after the first 2 heats was the killer and Lynn's inconsistency meant they couldn't land a blow on us after that. I think Leicester like Ipswich have that really solid look about them.

Apologies if it came across a bit strong. I just think we might surprise a few. After all most, including myself wrote Peterborough off a few years ago.

I like the way we are being binned off by loads of people before a wheel is turned. Are these the same people who said lynn would spank us over 2 legs? Jeez! Unfortunately most supporters know Jack all. As lambo said before on 360 they are keyboard warriors. 2 comfortable wins over lynn and what I like about it is we have gone about our business quietly and Paul Hurry has said virtually nothing so have some faith in the team and yes if I was a bookie I'd back the home team but until then give it a rest.

Northampton shoe in? Very apt.

Agreed, imagine if you'd have said 30 years ago that at 48 this young whippersnapper will still be gunning down the Stars in the next century you'd have been carted away by men in white coats!

Young Cooper was trying so hard to pass Scott on the outside it looked like he almost slamed into the fence.

Exactly we are potentially damaging our young and upcoming prospects.

I have just left AFA ian and us witches put in a solid all round display so well pleased. From a point of view of young and upcoming riders. We could potentially ruin them by asking them to step up so early, which is why I still believe in one league only.

Asking what might seem like another silly question. I thought Paul Hurry would be doing the media rounds after the meeting or am I missing something?

What were you expecting 75-15? Geez!

Excellent point regarding Lynn's long tail. Everyone talks about Fricke, Harris and Kvech. The problem is if anyone has an off night you are asking kids to carry the team. My point being that you can potentially ruin up and coming British youngsters by pushing them too early. Yes the league is weaker but it's still a tough ask for 16 year olds.

Good crowd and a comfortable win. Did scott get distracted by the red light in heat 3? Edwards Man of the match for me. I think this group may come down to the bonus point with us and lynn. Shout out to Lawson for great win in heat 15.

Doesn't this just prove time and time again that the sports governing body simply have no interest in making this sport both affordable and more accessible to all competitors. If a top British rider is in financial distress from trying to earn a living the powers that be should hang your bloody heads in shame! Unfortunately it won't happen as I have stated on here before the turkeys never vote for Christmas!

I know Paul Hurry has been around for years and years ( I remember him as mascot at Hackney) in about 89 or 90. But from a coaching or management scenario what is his background and presumably the owners will have taken good advice on his appointment?

In the good old days when we had a functional sport with competitors. For how many years did we have the old fashioned tactical rule of using any rider when 6 points behind. I always thought it worked quite well to be honest?
