Oh dear

That's better news.

Where what?

I was thinking perhaps an away defeat before the unfortunate injuries, now I'm certain Somerset will leave with the points, perhaps not all 4 though... Rider replacement gives Garrity and Nelson an extra ride, but then the slow starting Lykke and Morely have to divide the other two rides between them, not ideal.

It's as good as done that Robert will be racing for the Kings. Expect the announcement before the weekend is though... I'll not be surprised to see Robert in a Rockets racejacket in 2014.

He has been known to

If true that's shocking. Can't blame Silver for that.

My plan was to sit it out in the car until about 5 minutes before the start, but a combination of a large latte, weak bladder and the cold meant I had to get into the stadium and avail myself of the facilities!!

Indeed. Before speculating who is replacing who, spare a thought for those riders who could be out of action for a while.

My only critisism would be that there should've been more communication with the ambulance taking Jason to hospital. The bikes should've started warmimg up as soon as the ambulance had left Harlow, not once it returned. That would've only saved 10 minutes or so though. I fail to see how all the other delays could've been avoided. Just one of those days!

Should've stood next to you. All that hot air would've kept us all warm

KERRRCHING!!!

Not sure how long Lambert will be out for, 6-8 weeks with a broken ankle, depending on the severity. What happens next will determine our season.

Same here... Can't work that out unless Lambert was taken to hospital by private transport, or waited until after heat 15

Jari Makinen confirmed dislocated shoulder & elbow... Jason Bunyan had a back injury and was complaining of breathing difficulties, suspected broken ribs... Simon Lambert has a suspected broken ankle... Speedy recovery to all three.

There's always the possibility that the poster is genuine and is really stupid.

We left before the heat 12 rerun, convinced of another long delay and possible abandonment. Not really bothered about missing the last 4 heats. By then we'd both had enough of the bitterly cold conditions. Racing was pretty good on a difficult track. Leigh Lanham was up in the referee's box during one of the enforced breaks complaining about the state of the track surface, can't say I blame him. Looked like marbles on the 4th bend and riders were also having problems on the exit of bend 2. Don't think the track was to blame for any of the injuries though.

Good shout Bolly... I assumed it was only for private functions... During the RR years the riders wives and girlfriends used to base themselves there during the meetings

CHAIRGATE... THE EVIDENCE Make up your own minds http://i207.photobuc...zps327401b4.png

Nobody better stand in front of me today and spoil my view

There is the bar on the 4th bend, but I'm not sure how well you'll be able to see bends 1 & 2 from there. *edit* Just been informed that there is no way of seeing bends 1 & 2 from the bar. What do I know? Only been going to Rye House since 1985!
