I could've told the Panthers promotion that before they went out and got Morris It's a shame for Ashley, but he really hasn't had a good season. After that injury he sustained at our track last year whilst riding for Wolves, it's probably dinted his confidence somewhat and understandably so.

Got to try and take a positive out of the situation Lukas. The injuries have made it a bit of a disaster (understatement!) but the promotion, generally speaking, have mostly got it right with the guests they have picked. To come away with a point from Workington last night was good going I thought.

Don't think I will be bothering to make the trip now... Weather doesn't look great for Glasgow Sunday and it's an awfully long way to go just for one meeting! Think Workington should be OK to get their meeting on tomorrow. The weather doesn't look so bad there. If any other Panthers supporters are going to make the trip up, I hope they see something worth seeing! Although, one word about the guests on Saturday...will Josh still ride as apparently he had a crash last night?

Ha! Stiltonpanther was standing with bigcatdiary at the pits one week a few months back. That's when I was introduced!

I thought they did needed to qualify in the same way that all the others have?

Yes I thought that. He's not been doing very well at Lynn this season and he's only just started scoring fairly well for Ipswich. Perhaps Redcar are racing somewhere on Saturday night? Not looked at the fixtures... And now I'm kinda unsure as to whether I will make this northern tour or not I'm so undecided!

I'd say 2 weeks is being very optimistic myself But then again, I'm no doctor! What do I know?!

Funny! Women can read maps you know...well, some of us can Extremely fair comment! In all honesty, I don't suppose you could single Bjerre out from Monday's meeting as no one else really scored that well either, so yes, a fair point I think.

Nice to see you away from "home"

I'd heard that Simon had broken his shoulder on the grapevine as well I was planning on going to Workington/Glasgow this weekend for the first time ever, but I'm unsure as to whether I will go now or not...

I was going to mention that! I was there! It caused no end of arguments in the crowd! Nielsen got a bit of stick I think from Dudley fans that night.

That's understandable! I've made it to Swindon twice now. But on both occasions the weather looked OK. And 2,000 miles?! I think it's more like 200. Tee hee!

Thanks for all that Never made it up there when King's Lynn were PL so figured I would attempt to take this meeting in and Glasgow the following day.

Planning on travelling up to Workington for this fixture. Never been to Workington before so it should be interesting I'd nothing else!

If only Queenie had visited and sat up there LOL! I'm unsure as to why it's called the Royal Box actually... Glad to be of service anyway! Oh and Royal Box doesn't have a roof. It's exposed to the elements up there so just hope it doesn't rain!

There's an area in front of the home straight stand near the starting gate where people with disabilities can take wheelchairs or take seats into (I've seen people that aren't in wheelchairs take seats up there so I'm presuming it's OK if someone really does have a mobility issue). As for food, there is the Pitstop Cafe at the stadium. On the Hardwick Industrial estate down the road there's Frankie & Benny's. Pizza Hut, KFC...all those kind of places to go into. P.S. It costs £1 to go into the "Royal Box" Least that's what the price was when I last heard anyway...I don't think it's gone up but I wait to be corrected if I'm wrong. You don't have to book a seat in advance as far as I'm aware either.

Really hoping for good news on Simon! Has anyone heard anything?

Not surprised by the result. Belle Vue have a decent 1-7. And I think people are right to feel angry with how Kenneth is performing...he's supposed to be a second heatleader. How many meetings has he scored 10+ in this season? It can't be that many I wouldn't have thought? I think his issues are more psychological than anything though mind you.

Suspected dislocated shoulder is also what I've seen reported. If so, either way, he could be out for a few weeks. Hoping to hear better news! Sending Simon best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Seems like Lewis is riding at Belle Vue on the Monday, but Robert isn't, so perhaps it will be the same scenario for Wednesday's meeting?

Now now Lets not start off this kind of debate on here

A great display by Nicklas Porsing on Friday and if Lewis is going to be out for a while, then having him in as a temporary replacement would be welcomed in my book Racing at PL level over here could help him too. Seems to have sorted his issues out and is scoring well for Lynn at present, so why not. I wish Lewis a speedy recovery. Such a shame but I don't think he had looked himself ever since he returned to racing after that nasty spill back in May against...Plymouth I think it was from memory? He shouldn't continue to race in discomfort. On a separate note, Rafal Konopka scored 7 (3, 2, F, 2) whilst guesting at reserve for Newcastle at Workington last night All previous joking aside (from me anyway) I hope he sorts himself out now. He did look good on Friday but I think equipment issues could be his main hindrance. If he could get that sorted out, he could well be an improvement on Ollie Greenwood after all Not that I ever disliked Greenwood, but his scores certainly weren't what they were last year and out of the two reserves, Simon Lambert has performed consistently better than Ollie.

Well...that was a turn out for the books! Didn't stay for the MDL meeting in the end. All of the Panthers riders, bar Michael Palm Toft, looked very sluggish today I have to say. Basically, Plymouth were just faster overall. Don't know what the problems are for each individual, but I hope they're resolved soon. And as for this Konopka guy...at present, the less that he's mentioned the better LOL! One last place, one exclusion due to a mechanical issue when the red light came on as he wasn't under power at the time, then to top it off, one retirement. Oh my word! Not giving a good impression on his debut that's for certain.

Looking forward to this one! Will be good to watch Milik again. Such a crowd pleaser.

I remember her posting on here lots. Like a few others here, I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I'm sending condolences to her family and friends. Rest in peace "Shazzy".
