What did Barker actually say?

Do feel both Lambert and Bewley need to develop a ruthless streak (ironic in Lambert’s case). Bewley’s speed will win him more GP’s but lacks the fight of Holder for example.

Reserve change?

No speedway stream should be more than £10 when you can a Championship football match for that price. I would’ve paid £10 but essentially £15 is too much.

What’s the story with Lawson and his dad not getting on?

Fantastic ride from Kurtz!

Bewley not looked right tonight at all. Feeling the after effects of Monday possibly?

More and more impressed every time I watch Tom Brennan. Hope he cracks it in Poland soon.

And he lost by a distance!

Has the draw been completed for the semi finals yet? Anyone aware of a date if not?

Which team do you think promised him a place and went back on it? Ipswich?

Completely agree with all the comments here. Definitely looks like a line up that should get numbers through the turnstiles though. Only went to Mildenhall once this year due to the issues previously mentioned but this team will make me give it another go in the upcoming season. Just hope they get it right because people will return if that’s the case.

Is there are any news on when tickets come out for all of the meetings?

Pickering and Douglas out as well now! Turning into a shambles.

A very enjoyable meeting this evening. For Lynn, Jakobsen impressed early doors but didn’t quite carry it through to win the meeting. Pickering was a huge disappointment compared to when I’ve watched him previously. Thought Worrall rode well. Similarly, Jason Edwards also rode well. He’s definitely coming on well and improving all the time. One to watch. For the Witches, what a pleasure it is to watch Jason Doyle ride. Team rode brilliantly and is just generally a class above. As mentioned previously by another poster, worth every penny! I was impressed by Tungate, rode some good lines. It was also pleasing to see Summers come good in his last race. Couldn’t fault the effort of Starke but just couldn’t put the points on the board tonight. Understand the disappointment of the King’s Lynn promotion but they only have themselves to blame for losing that meeting tonight.

Anyone know of any sites offering odds on the British Final tonight?

Enjoyable to watch a higher standard of riders round West Row yesterday. It was great to see them attack the track as it should be, a lesson to the junior riders who ride with trepidation around the track. Really enjoyed the efforts of Kye Thomson and Zaine Kennedy. Albeit against not the highest standard of riders, I really liked Thomson’s style and aggression. Just didn’t quite get the line he needed in the semi final and missed out. Kennedy made some great moves throughout and was also unlucky not to make the final. Great to see Connor Mountain back at West Row and see all the progress he’s made. I also thought Connor Coles had improved significantly, with a more aggressive racing style. As expected, Lawson, King and Heeps were strong and a worthy top three. Fair play to all the riders who gave it a real good go and whilst there wasn’t huge amounts of passing, the racing was generally tight. To end on a negative, the length of the meeting was highly frustrating. I can understand a meeting of this nature taking longer, everyone understands that but it was far too drawn out. A half hour delay until the first race just isn’t right. I don’t intend on visiting Mildenhall very often as this seems to be a constant issue and has been on the times I’ve ventured over in recent years.

Who was it?

An absolute disgrace from the Brum promotion if they knew Ellis wasn’t doing a full season. Feel for people who bought season tickets after he had signed.

On another note, yesterday was the first time I watched Josh Pickering live. Lynn fans are in for a treat this year, what an entertainer!

What has happened to Pearson?

RIP Nigel. An incredibly sad loss for the sport and most importantly, his family. Reading the tributes over the last couple of days show what a fantastic person he was. Having grown up listening to him and Kelvin Tatum commentating, speedway will never quite be the same again.

Was very impressed by Jack yesterday. Showed good composure when in front of Palin and had a nice style. Hope he has a successful season.

I class myself as an avid speedway fan but am slowly giving up on watching the sport live. Constant, unreasonable delays at meetings with no information delivered explaining why. The racing didn’t start until 5.25pm despite a scheduled 5pm start time. Fed up of having to wait around for unjustifiable reasons. The constant stream of delayed start times due to the crowd still entering the stadium is ridiculous.

Absolute shambles waiting around whilst they decide whether it’s a re run or not.
