The track has been a bit hit and miss but apart from the Tv match against Peterborough there has been some good racing.Batch and now Rasmus really attack the track and both have made superb passes in recent weeks.Ipswich hands up i totally got them wrong i thought they would struggle but they have a nice balance to there side Heeps has really upped his game. On thursday i think Krystian and Eddie are the key if they can score it will be tight meeting if the Robins lose play/offs a definite no no.

Really looking forward to the meeting, and the Witches are flying they are going to be a tough nut to crack.I think it will be a narrow home win but any mistakes from us and the Witches will pounce.It is great that on there return to the top flight Ipswich are doing well it is great news for the league as a whole.

We come up short again away from home but we had some bad luck tonight but that is all part and parcel of speedway i suppose.Well done to Lynn tonight it was a great win for them keeps them right in the mix.Swindon i am getting concerned now we seem to put one step forward then one step back but we can't give up though keep on going keep on trying you cant ask any more than that.

Thanks for the time and effort Robbie, really great stuff the memories came flooding back. -
David Wallinger Ludicrous situation.
Sidney the robin replied to Fortythirtyeight's topic in National League Speedway
One of those reasons are the practice facilities in this Country are not there on a regualar basis.Yes there is a long way to go but Vatcher is making a great fist of it with limited resources. -

But our league has provided endless opportunities for all nationalities for me the future is bright.for us.Kemp, Palin Rowe ( etc) can progress hope so i certainly think we have bridged the gap.in recent years. -
An easy home win that was never in doubt, Lynn were very poor and a minimum of two changes i presume will have to be made there.I can't remember the last time two reserves scored only 1 point between them and it was a rout in the end. Doyley back on it, Jensen great value and fair play to Stefan he deserves another chance.Not a classic of a meeting but there was some close racing Lambert better and quicker than his score suggests Cookie also looked good very focussed and he seems to be nearly approaching his peak.One thing i learned about last night was having a strong top five was the right way to go if they click like last night we will take alot of beating. The reserves scored 9 points between them which is what i expect we now just need to get our act together away from home.

I hope it is Douglas but i have a feeling King's Lynn might get him.Two names who might crop up are Jeppesen and Ospregen.

Lanning was a survivor, he sorted the 1980 bonus out for the Reading Racers title winning team i believe he was personally screwed over of his own payment.??? Lanning was a great commentator and brought loads to speedway like Len Silver who i saw Sunday you have to admire both of them for there longevity in the sport. -

Will young Jake ride again on the Island Thursday?? i have followed his progress on the grass and he looks a good prospect.Kent fans should not be do downhearted they will be thereabouts come the end of the season. -
With you on that one Aces51, Lidsey will develop into a good rider he is someone you have to give time to.At Worky last year they showed everyone what can be achieved with the way they handled young Bickley and how he has come on in the Championship because of it.Why do some of the ground work with Lidsey then allow somebody to reap the benefit in the future patience is the word.He is suffering a bit of pressure because other riders in the team are not doing the job they are capable of doing.

A great video i wish those race jackets were about today they are one way of preserving the club's history.Have to say Halifax and Wolverhampton have to be my favourites not impressed with the Leicester one that year i always loved there original one. -

Totally agree Jenkins has had a rough trot with injuries and at Swindon on Sunday you can see the talent is still there.He will be fine just needs more race fitness i hope his latest injury is not to bad. -
I hope the weather holds up, i love having the rare continuity of fixtures happening and this should be a close affair.With Cookie being brought in King's Lynn are a side i fear my prediction is around a 8 point home win for the Robins.No news on a new reserve so i presume Starkey continues at no 6 can Batch back up his last two home meeting's.???
