  1. Amazing that anyone would want rid of such a talent as Lambert. He looked on fire last night and was a bang on cert for a heat 15 appearance, so being ill would explain why he was not used in the nominated race. The Boy just loves loves to ride his bike, so I would say he must be feeling pretty rough to miss tonight.
  2. If Porsing was to go Premier then surely he would go to the Kings Lynn Res team just down the A47 ( wait for it). It appears Robert isnt riding for Peterborough tonight as he is ill.
  3. I would give Porsing time, as we have seen what he can do ( last season), but he does need to up his game. I really think though that Morris needs to be rested. At times he was gating with the others, but was then getting picked off way to easy and ending up tailed off.
  4. I thought the meeting was made by Robert Lambert. Pushed Freddie all the way in his first, then had to muscle his way to the front in each of his next three. Really wanted him to do heat 15 to have another go at Freddie. KB had his gating head on, Rory gave it his all, as you would expect. Lewis after a duffer of a first race came good and should, in my mind, have replaced Porsing in his last outing. On the subject of Porsing how much interest has this lad in riding in the UK, he looked slow all night, we know he a decent rider, but he really has to do better than that. is it equipment or attitude ? As for Ashley, You have to feel sorry for the boy. His confidence must be blown to pieces. I think he needs to be stood down to see if he can get himself together at a lower level. The lad is more than capable of looking after the likes of Josh Bates, but last night he just back off when Bates got near him. I missed Buster's interview, but saw something in the prog notes about a new Revolutionary engine that was tested at Saddlebow recently. Has anyone got for info on this. Like who is making it ?
  5. Is the weather looking set fair over Saddlebow for tonight's festivities ? Lynn by 16. Lambert to get a heat 15 ride.
  6. 16 point Lynn Victory Struggling to be there for 8 so should only miss the parade.
  7. Sorted Paulco. It will be sunshine Speedway, just don't expect any of those deep fried Mars Bars
  8. Does it matter if its off through wind or off through Water, fact is its off
  9. Looks like its Crossroads for you tonight then SL oh no, you werent going anyway
  10. Any rain hit Lynn yet ? Where is Star Lady when you need her !
  11. Can see this being a big home win. Leicester to need snookers by heat 12
  12. 6am ? what are you a milkman/woman ?
  13. I see Poole FC not only choked the League Title they compounded it by choking the play-offs v little St Neots. All this choking, the Boston Strangler would have had a field day down there. Seems to be a recurring theme with Poole teams.
  14. Great win for Lynn, good to see Kenni B enjoying a decent weekend, both in the GP qualifiers and last night. Lets hope it is the start of him turning things around.
  15. Does anyone know if Mads is available to even ride in the UK this season ? I was surprised with his low average that someone like Swindon didnt look to bring him in during the winter.
  16. Hang you hard SL. Whats this about the announcer ? When Mike Bennett was in situ you still didnt attend, and he was an ok micman. As for the interval by the time you have got a drink and shaken ya lettuce they would be back racing.
  17. What Lynn Should do is drop Porsing and bring in a real track specialist like Lewis Bridger. How is Kenny B performing in other Countries, is it just the Uk where he is struggling or is he shot to pieces everywhere ?
  18. Interesting question. If Lambert ends up as good as many think he will be ( me included) then I can see him riding everywhere ( like Tai) and giving the UK a miss. For speedway riders it is there living, and the same as most people employees will go where they can earn the most. So If Poole ( for example) offer Lambert stupid money, then again like most people, why would he not accept it ? Speedway, at the end of the day, is a business masquerading as a Sport.
  19. I dont think its a poor track, as its always fairly smooth and not humps and bumps like certain other tracks that could be mentioned. It is just not delivering the type of Speedway racing that has been enjoyed in the past. Is it the shape of the track ? The preparation ? The Shale, The bikes, The weather, the riders, or maybe a combination of some of these ? There is a problem. I wonder if Buster would make a comment about it all in his Programme notes. I would certainly be interested to hear his take on the matter.
  20. Why is the interval needless ? It give the Promotion extra time to sell food, drink etc to boast their income. It also give the likes of the Jaybea a further opportunity to sell his merchandise. Also the people standing about in the middle, medical team track staff etc the chance to go for a jimmy. If The riders can treat it like a Business then I am sure so to the Promotion's. How many times have we seen on TV riders interviewed where they havent a Scooby what the match score is, but I would bet they know how exactly much they had earned that night.
  21. but you dont and wont. How many GP Riders have we riding in the UK Now ? Could it be suggested that some of the problems are with the riders attitude. The top boys have meetings all mapped out for them throughout the year, all over Europe. If they dont make the gate, then maybe the mindset is, oh well, I will settle for 2nd postion, Im not gonna bust my ass as I have another X number of meetings this week. Worth considering ?
  22. Maybe Buster should make a call to Huggy to see if he fancied coming back to sort the track out. I dont think many riders, fans ever complained with him in the tractor. Sometimes you can be a little bit to close to things. Also Buster has taken a lot on himself. Running the Staduim, The Speedway and the local Football Club. Is the man just now spreading himself to thin. Not so long back he had his son to share the workload with.
  23. Whats even more pleaseing is that Poole got held at home. Still all will be well when the Prodical son returns from his drink ban.
  24. If its cold heacham Mimmo you can be sure it will be even colder at Saddlebow.
