We started the season with the weakest team and our top two have under performed, that's a recipe for disaster. Where the riders are that can make a difference I don't know but something must be done, the bare minimum should be winning at home to keep crowds. Hopefully riders who are now racing in Poland might decide they need more racing.

Does the 7 day guest rule for away teams no longer exist?

Great all round team effort from the Cheetahs, Masters never troubled, Knudsen very impressive, would have been unbeaten but for a fall in heat 1, and McDiarmid showed there's definitely a rider there on a tricky Plymouth circuit where so many struggle. Everybody chipped in which is what we will need going forward.

Only 2 heat winners at Belle Vue ( 1 from the guest, great effort by Thompson all night, who was our best performer alongside Wright ). You can't win meetings like that, or stay competitive. Top heat leaders are required. We may well put up some spirited efforts but I'm struggling to see where a win may come from.

That will be every team team this season then 😂 Is it realistic to think that Flint was last choice? Didn't Rob Lyon state beforehand they wanted Jenkins? It's clearly all bull, riders and teams decide independently, regardless of any press releases and whatever teams may say. Out team manager, I'll leave that with you but I don't think there's much room for any doubt 🤣 I'm happy if we are keeping within budget to remain viable, if that means we can't field a competitive team, don't try it and put yourself at risk. We were already a well supported and competitive team at Championship level.

Technically correct but we all know the 'ranking order' is a load of tosh. With Gilkes in the Cheetahs team, it's a move that would make sense.

Absolutely dreadful effort at Ipswich last night, although I wasn't expecting anything else really 😟 Tungate has been woeful so far. Janowski still appears to have no speed, even after last year. I like Killeen but it looks a step too far at this stage, is Gilkes still on the RS list? Gusts is putting the others to shame with his efforts, especially being new to UK racing. When you have the weakest team, you need everyone on their game to try and be competitive, neither of which is happening so far. The danger is a drop off in crowds, once people stop going, we all know it can be difficult to get them back. We are in danger of creating all sorts of records this season 😢

I agree, although with regards to the Spires team, 3 or 4 different riders are needed to make any real difference.

Well done to the Spires on yesterday's win in the Championship pairs 😂

21-69 😢

How long can we continue without changes? Ipswich home and away next, could be some unwanted records coming up 😢

59-31

Clearly the weakest starting 7 so something will need to change

Let's hope not, we have the weakest starting 7 as it is.

It was a success but can only really be done for a big meeting, you need to be able to balance a book to make it worthwhile.
