Think they need to look at the line up for this type of meeting going forward, you had too many young lads there who struggled to turn the bike in the dirt and control the bike to stay on for 4 laps, the gaps between 1st and 4th in some races was around half a lap which just isn’t competitive. Even it’s a case of dropping the u21 title and making it u24 where the more experienced u21 riders (those with Championship places maybe as a minimum) will mix it with those who recently moved on from that age group but are in a bit of no man’s land.

He’d need to bin off one of Sweden or Denmark first before he can race in UK. But if the money is right I’m sure he’d drop one, the Poles don’t call him ‘Dollar Doyle’ for nothing 💰

Imagine Masters was in ht15 with Douglas as Morris, Howarth and Kemp had already had a minimum Of 5 rides by then so spreading the load

Did Klindt fall and get injured last night as he’s down as injured for Redcar tonight (King in as his replacement)?

Looking at Sheffields results this week, do the promotion need to be starting to look out to see who is available for Rowe? 4 points from 8 rides in 2 away meetings and 5 from 4 at home v a weakened Belle Vue doesn’t really cut the mustard especially when the side is pretty weak at the reserve positions away from Owlerton. He’s been struggling recently as well for Oxford and know his Polish club have been using Francis Gusts in place of him as well. Is it a blip and he’ll ride into form, or do they change before his average goes south and not enough to play with to find a replacement?

Last thing I was told was that McDiarmid concentrating on Championship only in UK for 2026 and Poland Ekstraliga (Fri/Sun) and U24 (Tues). Suppose things (and money) can change things though

Pretty sure the Redcar change comes to effect Friday so Jenkins still has a team spot as of today

Hopefully it’s not a slick dust fest gate and go meeting for fans attending and using BSN! Can see Leicester’s engine room and reserves comfortably outscoring Sheffield’s with heat leaders nullifying each other. Home win 50-40

Jeppesen and NKI both missing tonight with injuries sustained in Danish semi finals last night. Bomber in as a guest for NKI plus R/R for Jeppesen

Long mid week journey though for any of the Glasgow fans making the away trip, at least the weather is good!

Poole to get low to mid 50’s tonight, Bomber off form in Championship, not a happy hunting ground for Howarth who is the in form rider for Glasgow, can’t see Flint getting much picking from the Poole heatleaders. I’d expect Lawson to go undefeated by a Glasgow rider, Poole reserves to have a field day against the Glasgow reserves and middle order, with Kerr and Cook to have a solid double digit night also

Laguta and Kubera injured in Sweden tonight, can imagine the Polish teams not giving riders any new start permissions other than what they signed at start of season which could put the kybosh on any new signings for Belle Vue especially if looking at any Ekstraliga riders.

I’m pretty sure that if Howarth hadn’t have fell in his first ride at Northampton last week and picked up a point then Morris would have been at reserve for June, Kemp, Howarth and Morris all very close on the rolling averages. Howarth on an 8.5 average so far this season (although only 2 league meetings that count towards and average) so Leicester have someone at number 6 that could be a match winner especially if anyone having an off night it’s an easy reserve replacement swap option for Dickson

No longer follow Sheffield to every home and away so by picking and choosing looks like this meeting was a good one to miss. Holder jnr goes missing again at NSS so good job Holder snr turned up or Sheffield could have been handed theirs on a plate by Belle Vue.

Howarth already given Worky the thumbs up whereas Edinburgh assumed a conversation about possible situation was guaranteed rather than confirming it. Howarth will always give 100 no matter what race jacket he has on. If he misses the meeting tomorrow Belle Vue will be weaker on the evening meeting at Owlerton as most know NSS not Howarth’s favourite track for the 12pm meeting
