stevebrum Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Always, or usually? Can't be both. In 2016: 8 from 4 at Berwick 13 from 5 at Edinburgh 10+2 from 5 at Redcar 11 from 4 at Somerset Hmmmm... Some would say you're ignorant, but I'll be kind and say misinformed In the easy league of course he can score well. This is the top flight so if you want to find me scores that prove that point then fell free, I will give you that I didn't specify which league but as we are discussing on a top flight forum I thought that might have been a given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Didn't think tonight's meeting was too bad. Harris was top notch from the gate or from the back. Great battle with Lambert throwing the kitchen sink at him but Bomber had all the answers. Good performance also from Robbo. Lynn just about shaded it but Rye were maybe worth a point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Some decent racing again tonight. Harris sublime for Rockets, but a good team display by the stars with some excellent time riding. Poor old Josh still couldn't really score. Meeting moved along at a nice pace, but throw in a couple of tape breaks, a fall and couple of races with riders having two on the trot and ended up being a late finish. Still don't understand why it takes so long to between heats 14 and 15 though, and can we have some more speakers round bend 1 and 2. Announcers are clear, but struggle with riders being interviewed. No idea what Dooly was saying. Lambert was only marginally better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Oh dear Peterborough! We don't want him at Peterborough , we have enough inconsistent riders in the team without wanting to add any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 A good meeting to watch, a couple of great examples of team riding and plenty of passing and chasing. Another interesting press conference in the bar again with Rob and Batch in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 From reading the updates, it sounds like a great meeting. Glad Harris has found some form, finally. But glad Stars got back to winning ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 From reading the updates, it sounds like a great meeting. Glad Harris has found some form, finally. But glad Stars got back to winning ways.It was entertaining for sure. Batch said in the bar after that Buster had got the track how they wanted it last night and how they would like it for every meeting, with even starts and surface. He and the team are looking forward to the run of home meetings, they are enjoying racing together, he is happy with his form and just wants meetings (more in the UK preferably)! Rob praised the guys for the great team riding, he called it a dying art but something the fans want to watch, he's right there 😊. He said they wanted to send the Rockets home without a league point and he was happy that they managed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Strange meeting that, Some brilliant races, fantastic team riding, close racing, fluctuating scores, this meeting had it all, but somehow the excitement was somewhat subdued.. Probably the effects of what had happened recently, but the crowd reaction didn't match what was happening on the track. Forgetting the first 4 races, the track from then on produced some magical racers not bettered for some time. People saying Lynn was a 'Gate and Go' track was last night made to eat their words. A Big well done to Buster..... .... Anybody watching speedway for the first time would have been enthralled with the exciting racing and will surely come again. Chris Harris deserves a special mention for an exceptional display. He showed his true ability, (and immense speed) to come from the back 3 times to record an impressive 15 pt Max. All the other on show, all managed to slip up at least once during the night. Holder, Batch, Lambert, Huckenbeck, Rose. Nicholls, Robson all contributed to the meeting with their forceful riding. I never felt the result was ever in doubt, regardless of the score, but Bomber sure made it interesting.... Felt sorry for Bailey who is completely out of his comfort zone... Even when he had the opportunity in Ht 2 to get a point, the Ref made a pigs ear of the rerun, allowing Bamford to get a massive roller from 15mtr catching Bailey before the first corner... What a Joke !!! Yeah, a win is a win, another 3pts to the cause, The matches to come will be harder than this, and can't help thinking the Stars will need to do better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have to say, that was one of the best meetings for years at the AFA. Absolutely brilliant racing and the track producing racing lines of yesteryears. The fact the track is being left ungraded is creating it's own lines throughout the evening. This punter went home the happiest for a long long time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Bloody typical. Seems I missed a great meeting. Roynon for Bailey now? Please don't let it be Jake Knight for Bailey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The team riding between Rose and Huckenbeck gto keep an ever pressing Robbo out was different class. been difficult to get a rizla between them most of the 4 laps lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Was a good meeting on a warm evening - sun delay again though. Bailey apart, all other riders had their moments and there was plenty of hard racing. I thought Huckenbeck did well for Stars and Wells impressed me for the Rockets. Sometimes the scores don't tell the story - Nicholls had a great scrap with Lambert in Ht 15 all for 0 points! Vintage Harris though, his bike looked perfectly set up from the beginning and he was making starts! Overcooked burger though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 What's the likelihood of Huckenbeck and Porsing swapping places when the first set of averages come out ? The biggest bonus for me, with the team this season is Lewis Rose. Always been a fan of his and good to see him moving up to the next level in the sport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this is incorrect, as I wasn't there just putting 2 and2 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
