Think as long as converted ave fits then its fine. Why wouldn't an English rider want to ride in the PL? More meetings, but wonder what will happen at Swindon as they didn't want to have 3 "doublers" this year, thats why Doyle was released.

I've chnaged from my shorts into jeans, not going to risk it, Very dark here too, near to town centre, just looked at weather forecast and looks like rain is on its way, but might just miss us!

To anyone going this afternoon, it might be nice weather in general but Foxhall has its own climate, temperature is normally half what it says!

Thought riders could come back early on a monday as Wizz air flights get into Luton around 7.30...

Love the Werewolf noise after the last heat!

Gone from one of the best Gp's last time to one of the worst. Suppose it can only get better................ Why would the locals go to watch the "racing" though, nice stadium doesn't mean nice track though! As for Nige and Kelv, anyone else think they are more informative for a general viewer?

Will either Lanham or Nieminen be allowed to ride though as it was reported that both had concussion and isn't it an automatic 7 day note?

Do they even know? They don't tend to know what goes on?!

How the #### do you know this? what's your sauce? The only thing North was desperate to do (and even then he failed the 1st time) was to put Barker into the fence. If most riders did that week in week out, there wouldn't be any left! As stated by North he tried and finally carried out his objective. Was close to GBH with intent! What was rerun productions view of the incident like? I know you not there Dave but did they catch any of the incident?

i know but another thread has now been merged here!

see the Star of Anglia thread Have to agree, poor out of the start but probably to be expected. Got stuck in, and made a couple of passes. Could certainly hold a good inside line round 3 and 4. Beat Hawkins in their heat too.

Yeah i heard that too but is it a case of backing up ya mates? Aussies sticking up for their own whether they think someone is right or wrong?

Would like to see what North would be saying if the shoe was on the other foot! Good job we have an airfence When was it turned on? The back straight incident was simliar to the Pedersen/Jonasson one at last years Gothernburg SGP in semi final. Just that Barker was lucky not to fall or go through fence as was close to it.

On last lap of heat 20 Barker went inside of North going into 1st bend, North cut back and rode into Barker half way down back straight, that could have put him through fence. Think Mark Loram incident but Barker just clattered fence. He then went round North on final corner only to be put into 4th bend fence. North rightly excluded, Barker got up and went looking for North in pits. When interviewed Barker basically said that payback was due in the future. Both moves were blatent and 2nd one possibly worse i've seen in a long time! The sport is dangerous enough as it is without moves like North's tonight. Utterly disgraceful

Of the 70 riders in the EL, 19 are doubling riders..... thats 27%. oh and as Kings Lynn are at Swindon thats only 56 riders to choose from and 7 are at the GP and Davey Watt is currently injured.... choice for EL stars is getting limited! infact only 18 riders in the EL this year are not able to double up/down with the PL

There are 70 "EL" riders in the 10 "EL" clubs, so who would you have invited tonight?

What is?

Have bsi taken away the WC from the British final as they don't want a sky meeting having an effect on their business? Or taken away from bspa due to the Euro champs pull out of British riders.

Nice to see Branford signed up but have to agree with the others about what tracks he will ride on. Must be a reason for it, just can't think what? Blackbird certainly knows the Foxhall track well.

Last year it was a traditional 20 heat format.

last rider announced is Kozza Smith. So the full lineup is- Adam Ellis (Ipswich) Alex Davies (Somerset) Ben Barker (Ipswich) Cameron Heeps (Ipswich) Dakota North (Peterborough) Gino Manzares (Unattached) Josh Auty (Scunthorpe) Kevin Doolan (Leicester) Kozza Smith (Berwick) Leigh Lanham (Ipswich) Morten Risager (Ipswich) Olly Allen (Rye House) Ritchie Hawkins (Ipswich) Rohan Tungate (Ipswich) Ryan Fisher (Peterborough) Tyson Nelson (Rye House)

Would have been interesting if this had been the tv match.......

I'm not greedy, at 20p it would make ya rich!

Witches riders must have thought it was cricket tonight, Hawkins 4 Lanham 4 Tungate 4 Risager 4 shocking! Good to Barker is ok after his fall on thursday, Hope Heeps is ok after his off, long long journey home for the riders, plenty of thinking time..... Well done to the Comets (and guests) job well done

doesn't work anymore... Oh well see if I can find another
