SPEEDY69

Why is he suspended? It was speedway related accident and he has a rib injury?

No, no equivalent. I also don't think the Ben Fund is just for British riders, so what you say is true in terms of independent financial support to riders.

Dry slick tracks suit some more than others and no surprise that Musielak did well given his Polish experience, certainly made the meeting a little more entertaining. Not sure what's going on with Lawson but I don't think the Ipswich management will be too impressed but if he was genuinely ill then that can't be helped. Will King be back on Thursday and if so, then R/R could be used for Lawson if he's still ill??

Hurry said last night when asked about Pedersen, watch this space.

Blimey, a lot of witches fans really are glass half empty. They haven't lost that many this season and Lynn were due a good meeting. They said they'd had a word with all riders to improve there performance and it worked. Ipswich made starts but got passed. Tom went from first to last in heat 1. It happens and doesn't concern me at all, I'm glad to have a local team I can watch and see some good battles, there'll always be a winner and a loser, that's sport.

The racing was good - it seemed much slicker last night than it was the last time I went, maybe that's the answer for Lynn? Brennan was terrible, looked nervous, even when in good positions he gave them away easily. Obviously very low on confidence but Ht 13 was better. Hopefully he can focus on that.

Who wants to watch football anyway - not me, it's as dull as.

No surprises really in this meeting, BV are very strong at home.

Surprised that's true - did he say that in the interview?

That's a great name, although sounds more Dutch than Swedish.

It's the Ipswich MP Jack Abbott.

Nonsense, if that were true Redcar and belle Vue would be packed every meeting but they are in exactly the same boat as everyone else. The racing makes no difference to crowd levels.

So, Harris again - the fourth time out of six meetings this season, he should be well dialled in. The winner tonight may be the ice cream man's bank account.

Yes and he intimated it was a waste of time and the contract ends I think at the end of this season.

Richard was quite clear last night that he thinks it can't really operate properly without 8 teams and that the gap between PL and CL needs to be bigger - he cited Poole and Glasgow as the obvious choices to join but that we'd then need to race on Wednesday as well but he didn't think that was an issue. He also dissed the fact that we've had three home meetings against King's Lynn this year! He wants independent leadership as no sport which runs itself is successful and too many navel gaze about how it affects their track, which doesn't move the sport forwards. Overall I was impressed with his views, he's also badgering the FIM about developing careers of young riders - just having and SGP3 or 4 doesn't generate the riders in the first place. Given he's only been involved this year he seems to have spotted a lot of the flaws/things which need improving and apparently his children can't stop watching speedway!
