You'd bet your house on it... Holder is "injured" though... not quite sure what it says on his sick note

R/R for Jack Holder at Leicester tonight and until a miraculous recovery when threatened with a ban Kurtz was injured and possible out for the season were the reports coming out of Belle Vue.

Lemo seems to have the biggest decision to make, who do you go for out of an injured Holder, an injured Kurtz with home track knowledge and an up and down Fricke with a lot of BV knowledge? Knowing Lemo it'll probably be a left field decision.

What about the tide though? I know Cecil Ford thinks he's a god, has he managed to stop the tides as well?

They also have a consistent core to their team, with riders generally returning year to year with only the odd change. Must help the fans to create a bond with the team instead of a rag tag random 1 to 7 turning up week to week, season to season

A decent first race and a good last one... everything in between, very forgettable

They go for Sweet Caroline, cringe

The full field is: 1. Justin Sedgmen (Edinburgh/Birmingham) 2. Dan Bewley (Belle Vue) 3. Craig Cook (Workington/Leicester) 4. Kyle Howarth (Scunthorpe/Sheffield) 5. Antti Vuolas (Workington) 6. Norick Blodorn (Belle Vue) 7. Charles Wright (Redcar/Oxford) 8. Paul Starke (Glasgow) 9. Gino Manzares (USA) 10. Simon Lambert (Scunthorpe) 11. Alex Martin (USA) 12. Adam Ellis (Ipswich) 13. Ben Barker (Plymouth) 14. Danny King (Redcar / Ipswich) 15. Lewis Kerr (Berwick) 16. Jan Kvech (King's Lynn)

Exactly what I said I'm my op... just a bit of fun

No doubt we'll have everybody from Poole telling us it's not normally like that, like they did with the Redcar match and like they do every time their track is exposed on TV

Heat 1, Thomson passed Thomsen

Where are all the Kye Thomson haters tonight?

Strange decision as he would most likely have been selected to ride for Finland where the chances of riding for Sweden were/are slim at best

Sounds like it must be quite a young crowd with the "music" being played over the PA. Maybe DJ Woffy is in da house bustin out some club bangers.

Tom Brennan reckons heat 4... so I'll go with him

To say what he did that night was just completely tone deaf from somebody who is supposedly a speedway supporter. Especially as it was on the eve of the Public planning inquiry for Coventry which showed everybody what can be done if there is a coordinated fight, whether that concludes successfully or not remains to be seen, but to just roll over without a fight after 50 odd years is totally unforgivable. If he didn't want to put up a fight, fair enough, but to dissuade others certainly rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

streamers on the handlebars?

A man dressed as a woman?

Koc Up

But completely ineffectual, it's up to the ref to work with the start marshal though and he just hasn't

Poole fans awfully quiet on here tonight... holding their counsel for tomorrow night's shambles

3 intervals tonight at Plymouth... what time is the curfew?

Cloud cuckoo stuff... you'll be getting the likes of Zach Cook, Connor Mountain and a returning MPT... If they agree to ride for you

Nice ride from Picko, track has actually ridden quite well since the stop for the attempt to fix the tapes

Are they going to leave the safety fence coming out of turn 2 like that, with the advertising banner just hanging off? Heat 11 should not have started
