thought that last year .....

care homes on the south coast close early maybe?

I was going to say Kings Lynn must be up near the top .. they were fairly dominant in the PL seasons

a rider was excluded at Peterborough the other week for going the wrong way up to the tapes then on the grass briefly then off to the start line, and no replacement allowed, think it was Sam Simota. Zagar came across the concrete last week after a race had been stopped, but I wondered if he should be out as they had been under starters orders Had a good chat with Nicolai about KL, he loved it and is really hoping for plenty more opportunities - I thought he did well for his first meeting at the track, and was certainly pushing to overtake in his races

yep, few times now we've seen exclusions in semi or final that spoil it as a spectacle - how about unless a rider is excluded for dangerous riding, the rerun should be with a 15m handicap. anyone that decides not to go to this meeting because of a couple of missing riders, it's a shame, but those that go will see a fantastic meeting I've no doubt. the pairs/Cardiff weekend is always about the racing on the Friday, the atmosphere on the Saturday, and as much as I enjoy Cardiff, the racing is so much better at Somerset

speedway has to be about continuity, that goes for regular meetings and regular teams. if you have no meetings for a number of weeks, people realise they can do without and that means future visits will get less and less. I'm also one that thinks that teams need some continuity, give supporters riders to support as 'one of your own', buy their merchandise etc, and it should work both ways. with squad systems, I can't see that happening, I think it will be a case of 2 teams riding against eachother but no one really knowing who will be in the teams

if Starman looked a little closer he would see Kings Lynn don't actually have an airfence, they don't use the rubbish that tracks like Poole have

and Plymouth would be one of the better teams to show there

they weren't allowed, has to be after each block of 4 races or not fair

just popped home after getting photos at the practice .. looks like it's going to be a good meeting, quite a few of the riders looking good out there, definitely going to be hard fought

should be an interesting heat 15 then

if the lineup is as posted above, I honestly think this will be one of the best meetings this season - excellent lineup on an excellent track

yeah but Harris knows the GP tracks and knows he won't score with or without practice, I'm sure King will want to be at Cardiff practice, same as (I expect) Cook & Lambert

I said it before, why pay out loads on sorting the track when you'll be riding at Oxford soon enough

track needs to be dry for Nicholls and deep for King, so maybe see what it's like on the day. the rest should be Woffinden, Lambert, Cook, Ellis
