I believe so I think Mr Silver has lived near Maidstone for sometime close to his Silverski office

I have no clue. You would need to ask him. I just saw him at Kent before the meeting in the pits area & I think he spent the night with Len Silver. As for his business that's none of mine

Terry Russell was at Kent the other week walking with the aid of a stick. He looked healthy & the stick seemed to be just in case.

Great to see Jason getting some form back. I hope he is getting fitter after his injuries. He looked like the old Crumpy in ht 10 lets hope he can build on that & get back to what we all remember

Will the weather be the winner tonight?

The starts need to be looked at with riders from gates 1 & 4 often arrowing themselves to the other side of the track. The FIM regulatoions read 70.10,5 bikes should be parallel to the inner edge. Maybe if this regulation was applied we would not have seen Ht 12 take so long & Martin Vaculik would be fit to race at Mallila. All in all it was a poor display from one of the sports most senior Referees

He may have been in close contact with Pooles Benjamin Basso

I really don't think that Alun Rossiter or Lee Kilby know anymore than the rest of us as neither has a penny piece invested in the project. Only Terry Russell will have contact with Stadia UK / Gaming International or Clarke Osbourne to obtain infomation or any idea of what is going on & if he chooses to tell his employees its all moving forward then that is the message they tell. But in all honesty its going nowhere & will not be coming back to this venue.

I have to agree it's not the best venue for a GP. But I understand that this was put in at short notice after others had pulled out of hosting during the current health issues. I am somewhat confused over Jason Doyle receiving a starting offence warning after a race that he won. It makes a mockery of the Tatum "N" Pearson comments that "He didnt get an advantage" & makes the Referee look a little stupid. Zmarslik is a great rider but I'm sure the FIM regulations state that riders must line up to the inner edge & he clearly was not, nor for the most part were riders from the inside. Once again we saw a track reserve that was not ready. surely for the biggest event they must be ready at all times.

The really close finish was a joy to behold & when it was announced that Scott had taken it the roof nearly came off. what a brilliant race a credit to both riders involved, either one could have done something nasty but they gave each other room & pulled out of moves when it got to narrow. what a great show. Good to get through a whole meeting with no re-starts & no crashes & going home just after 8PM no body had time to moan.(Memories of Frank)

I like Ben, He's a good honest lad & is supported by his whole family. But is he a number 2? I feel the number 2 jacket is to fill & so many times a rider is sacrificed in that position as the number 1 is often told to win the race & don't worry about your team mate. Which is fine because he is expected to return double figures. I'd like to see Ben at number 4 for a while to let him find his feet outside the reserve berth. he's been a top rider in the NDL for years so he knows how to win races. But we all know how twitchy he can be on the start line.

With the new averages coming in Poole had to bring somebody in as the only rider left to guest at under 3.75 would be Kyle Bickley with both Kemp & Wright now above that. I hope the Danish lad firstly turns up & then produces some good displays. I don't think he has done much outside of his homeland but reports are promising.

If the riders had more discipline & would ride around slowly waving to the crowd then we would be able to see their faces. However some can't be trusted to ride around without making a practice start or a wheel stand to entertain their self. the truth is it's a very dangerous sport & therefore extreamly difficult to get insurance for the competitors & it will only take one mishap on a parade lap for the brown stuff to connect with the high speed rotating distribution device & we are left with no racing

Sorry for not being spot on with the average. I just picked a ball park figure to express the points Kent have at their disposal & its closer to 14 than 7.

Yes of course I'm guessing but as I said given all the available information, He's looking for a second club, he's dropping his average, Kent need a big scorer & now have a space to fit him in. Yes I'm guessing but with nearly 14 points to play with why would you pick a 6.00 rider. I think Batch to Kent is the biggest odds on shot since the Lions played the Christians in Rome. then with Mulford I agree he may not hit big scores but he is a Kent rider & it's fair to say that the damage has been done so far as the league & play offs are concerned. Mulford will command more local support than lets say Jason Edwards or JPB

I would say that given all the information available Troy Batchelor is almost certainly the big point rider to fill the gap as heat leader. but the reserve is another matter now that Edwards has been released by Eastbourne. However Mr Silver takes pride in producing young talented riders & he has a long history of success so it would not be a shock to see Jake Mulford promoted from the second team.

Poole fans will be pleased to hear the new track record holder is Zane Keleher

It's not a new rule. It's just never been used before. I think the argument comes from the fact Poole have signed a ghost on an assessed average of 5.00 to replace the outgoing assessed 4.00 meaning a difference in 0.5 in obtaining a guest. If the 4.00 average was used Poole would only be allowed a 3.00 replacement under this regulation.

To be fair. The forecast for Saturday was for afternoon rain & thunderstorms, until Friday when it all cleared. So the track was prepared hard smooth & slick so that after the rain the racing surface could have been recovered & we would have seen a race track. But the rain never came & we ended up with a bland track that offered the attacking rider little in return for his efforts.

It was a good meeting, always close in the scores. No re-starts & all done for half eight including an interval good work to all involved

In the Czech Republic the Pardubice club has Ales Dryml, Vaclav Milik & Jiri Jirout & their sons Ales jnr & Lukas Dryml, Vaclav Milik jnr & Mario Jirout In Prague Jiri Stancl, Petr Ondrasik, Antonin Svab, & Antonin Kasper with their sons George Stancl, Pavel Ondrasik, Toni Svab & Toni Kasper

That is incorrect. The heading is Fathers & Sons. There is no mention of any number. The first post gives us the names of 3 men that rode for a club & then their respective sons but at no point does it mention three is the required number. The first poster to mention "3" is you in the 4th post on the topic. You are the one reading something that is not there & taking over a topic again & making the rules up to suit yourself.

John & Chris Louis & at a push you could include Jem Doncaster who is Stepfather to Chris

I'm not 100% sure but I believe Sam Hagons mother is a Dugard.

I would say it will be another Aussie. Either Keynon Rew or Fraser Bowes. Both are currently riding in the Polish leagues Rew is the better of the pair on current form but Bowes has the pedigree of his father Shane.
