I went to Bydgoszcz on Sunday for the Tomas Gollob benefit meeting and if it wasn’t for the fact that I helped him in a small way I wish that I hadn’t bothered. People rave about Polish speedway but I’ve never been to a meeting that didn’t have one pass after the first and second bends for the whole meeting. I’ve never left a meeting early but after Tai wrapped up the meeting in heat 17 me and the wife started our journey back to Toruń totally bored rigid.

Agree with you webby and when Dale says this team fights to the end you now have to believe him 100%. I was fortunate to be there on Monday and it was an unbelievable come back. It would be an almighty shock if we don’t manage to make the final now but you never know and it’s not over till it’s over. I think for Belle Vue to do that they need to hit us hard early on but to do that they will need an outstanding reserve something that they don’t really possess. I can’t see Berge scoring 18 points like MPT did at the NSS. Could be close on the night but I think we will run out winners by round about 10 points.

Don’t think there are to many kl fans that think this is a gimme, I think it’s going to go right down to the wire

Don’t know what happened there but my reply came before your post

Don’t know where you got your information from but tonight’s crowd was much better than any National League meeting I’ve ever been to. Ok it wasn’t the best crowd I’ve seen at Lynn this year but to be honest I didn’t expect it would be.

Personally quite pleased to see.Doyle not in heat 15

£27 seems reasonable to me, first meeting full price of £18 with the second at half price. Don’t suppose the riders are riding the second meeting for half price points money.......didn’t think so. Many people on this forum have often said that nearly all clubs are losing money and then when we charge half price it’s to much, sometimes I think the stars promotion must think “why do we bother”.

Meeting delayed to let fans in, bloody hell we must be a good attraction!!

Anybody know how long Garrity is going to be out

This meeting is a bit tricky to predict, we have a few riders who are a bit unpredictable at the moment. Niels could easily get 15 or his usual 8 while MPT and TJ could both score 7 or 8 or 3 or 4 it’s hard to say on current form. Also how will Newman go, let’s hope he wants to show Poole what they are missing. After all of this I think it will be close.

Sorry but if you are a fan you knew we were riding at Leicester tomorrow it’s on the fixture list for Christ sake and to be fair once Simon Lambert was announced it was pretty obvious what the team would be. To be honest did any Stars fan need to be told by social media that we was riding Leicester tomorrow and what the team would be, surely not.

With TJ MPT and Ty taking two of Lewis’ rides I would normally say it would make us stronger especially away from home but this is Leicester and you definitely have to gate here so I’m not so sure. What ever happens I’ll still be there to support the team

Good to see Niels getting good points again for Torun today 11 + 2

Thanks for that

Don’t know if I’ve missed something but has the draw been made for the semifinals of the ko cup and if it has who have we got.

Yes I agree with that, much rather have the team we have now and put up with whatever the Danes throw at us in the future although it’s got to be sorted into the future. The only positive is at least we are away tonight and would have probably lost anyway.

Niels was again off the pace, seems to be well down on power to me which is having an effect on his gating which is poor at the moment. Well done to all the team though a great battling performance. The actual racing was very poor, if Lynn had meetings like this one it would half the crowd

If TJ and Palm Toft ride at Leicester like they did last year then I back us for a narrow win

Riding r/r for TJ means we can cover him with Robert, Ty, Michael and Lewis def makes us stronger on current form.

Ty 12+1 guesting for Redcar at Sheffield good to see him getting some track time

With the amount of rain offs we have had BT certainly made a good call in deciding not to televise any meetings until June

I’d put money on it being the back straight

Can’t take it with you haza

As I’m aware this season heat 2 should start 4 mins after the riders cross the line finishing heat 1 and so on through the meeting. This should take about an hour so that leaves 30 mins to cover false starts, crashes etc so could and should be viable to finish a meeting about 9.15ish. The first race starting at 7.45 would be a start to this happening.
