it was Kasper Lykke who changed his mind after agreeing terms at the start at the season 

Why do we seem to be going after foreign riders who’ve shown no sign of improvement when riding over here but you’ve got riders like Nathan Greaves and Ellis Perks without a CL spot surely we should be going for one of these who will improve? Especially the seasons both of them had it’s ridiculous they are without a club this season.

Because we need someone around 7.5 to 8.5 not 3.00 to 4.5

Don't you mean "averages for MAY 5 to MAY 06.  Last year they changed every fortnight and they deemed that to be too much so this year they've (supposedly) gone back to once a month, yet they've changed 3 times already since 30 April. BONKERS.

We do but I’m sure Kasper Lykke only averaged mid 5s last time he was at Rye House so I don’t see the point in going after him.

Me neither, unless it's a 28 day contract for Robbo. As I see Rye House aren't expecting him back this month

You usually want your full 1-7 on track at all times but I think we might be stronger using guests if we can?

They need to replace rose ! 

They thought they had.  The rider concerned then decided he didn't want to ride in the SGB Championship after all.

Will we ever find out who that was, maybe just even a hint? :P Just curious more than anything...

Lindgren rides against 1 and 5 in heat 13 as opposed to 4 and 6/7 in heat 

that's a big difference ... home and away hes is expected to score 5 in heat 14 ... lucky to score 2-3 on average in heat 13 - that knocks a hole in your average

If you take out heat 13 he has to face the opposing heat leader once each. Which is the same as riding at number 4 it’s no different really. 

All we get is his engines aren’t right, the set up isn’t right. It’s all we’ve heard every season he’s been with us. 

Bottom line is he is what he is so frustrating he could beat the opposing number 1 then be trailed off against there number 7. Such an enigma.

Looks like Lindgren had things sorted tonight....

Against a team of 3 reserves plus R/R and a hitty missy Barker? Not a great deal to write home about. Our next meeting is away at Scunthorpe I’ll be surprised if he gets more than 6 points

Some people just will never be happy with Ludvig... He scored 17+1 and beat a very fast looking Rory Schlein and you're still criticising him... Point is, he beat the riders in front of him tonight and that's all he can do, whether that's a team of '3 reserves' (I'm sorry but I only saw two) and a hitty missy Ben Barker

And at the same time there are a few on here who according to them Lindgren can do no wrong. The poor meetings he has for us massively outweigh the good ones. Well Hume/Mountain are reserves and Pickering is for Edinburgh so 3 reserves. Lets just see how our super number one fares on Friday

You could look at is as, he only dropped points to Schlien, who is no mug. I think there was other areas of the team that let us down tonight.
