Ukraine are replacing Slovakia

Hopefully Jake's ok after his crash at Rye House.

Only Busch and Mikkel B nearer the end looked like they had any quality in the Bears team. I think the most baffling thing all night was how Barker got heat 15 or does he have it written in his contract he has to be in heat 15?

It's great to finally see a guest riding to the same Standard as Steve would. Well done Ricky Wells

I see Stewart and Busch have swapped places. Not sure if this strengthens or weakens the bears

Or the Tories put a Tax on it could be either to be honest

It can't be Only Scott Nicholls has a higher average then Steve. Just checked Steve 9.16 Wells 8.68 when I was at school despite it been 10+ years ago 9 was always a higher number then 8

Ty's guesting for Ipswich instead of Covatti on Thursday night or yes he would have been a decent option

Doolan's scores have been heavily boosted by riding at the number 2 slot and having heat 8 to race in don't think I'd trust him in a heat 13. (He got 9 from 6 rides (number 2 slot) at Redcar when guesting for Newcastle he even got beat by Jordan Stewart in one race) Ricky Wells would be a good option or Steve's twin as previously mentioned

Meeting rescheduled for Friday 11th May 7.30pm

I've never been Rob's biggest fan and he certainly isn't mine but I think he's great on the mic. A lot better then most especially the guy who did it a few times I think he used to do Sheffield too. Hoggy I think his name was. Used to annoy me when the race was about to start and he shouts IT'SSSSSSSSSSSSS 1 no it not its Heat 1.

What a great meeting. You'll have to go a long way for a better one this season. All 13 riders deserve credit absolutely brilliant stuff.

T/S can be used only once at any point from heats 5 to 14 (apart from heat 8) when a team is 6 behind. They're allowed in the group stage but not in meetings over 2 legs (Semi-Finals and final plus the KOC) is how understand it

Yeah I was going to post the same but I thought i'd maybe have dreamt it.

Redcar full strength Lewis Kerr guests for Steve Worrall

Only Redcar, Peterborough and Sheffield not riding so not many options R/R might be best especially against this opposition We saw how poor Barker was last Friday Peterborough only really have Nicholls but his average too high There's Howarth or Laser Bjerre but would you want them getting track practice a week before they visit with Sheffield?

PETERBOROUGH can confirm a major investment for their future – with the addition of several new riders to the club’s asset base. The T.Balfe Construction Panthers finalised a deal on the eve of the season for the purchase of five British riders. They announced the signing of Scott Nicholls at press and practice last month, and can now confirm former Panthers riders Chris Harris, Ben Barker and Adam Roynon are also on their retained list. In addition, the arrangement included Jason Garrity, but he has subsequently moved to Scunthorpe in a swap which sees current Peterborough man Michael Palm Toft become a full Panthers asset.

That's what Mr Godfrey said

First of all Best Wishes to Steve. Garrity was class will take some stopping round the EWR if he rides like that all season. Auty also. (Garrity sounded like he was loving every minute of it in his Interview. Scunthorpe signed Garrity as an asset from Peterborough with Palm Toft going the other way) They were backed up by a great 1 and 2 Partnership in Worrall and Nielsen, Allen looked good after a few bike troubles and Manzares will be fine after a few meetings, Also Danny Phillips looked pretty good despite his score always on the pace and putting in lots effort. Just one more thing if you see this Rob Thanks for the Shoutout after Heat 1. You've built a great side this year. Hopefully Steve will be back ASAP.

That's good news if that's the case

Just read that Gino has had to pull out of Jon Armstrong's testimonial due to visa issues does this effect him riding for the Scorpions?

Meeting off

Phillips, Allen, Garrity and Manzares have already raced elsewhere. Only Auty and Nielsen are going in cold but i'm sure they'll have been practicing a plenty at the EWR

This Lakeside team will take some stopping in meetings over 2 legs. They'll hammer (no pun intended) most teams at home probably by more then they'll lose by away

Gino and Garrity should blow some cobwebs off at Lakeside on Friday along side Steve
