When most of  the teams are competing on the same race night,   there will always be issues with teams wanting replacements for absent riders.   Years ago this would have been a dream fixture, drawing a massive crowd.   Tomorrow, competing with only half a team, (the numbers made up with guests who have no interest at all),  on a grippy track  don't inspire much enthusiasm.   

Hopefully,  the weather could be the saviour here...

I would have said a straight swap for Proctor first.But who knows now with Riss possibly missing a month,it may have to be a double swap come June.Say someone like Nielsen for Kasper and Cook for Riss.We will all know soon enough.

By all accounts the racing at Peterborough improved massively in their last match and everybody that went,went home very happy.

To be honest on only having half a team,injuries happen in speedway unfortunately that is part and parcel of our sport.People can say we only have one team to choose from,which is true,but probably 90% of the people were crying out for fixed night racing to stop all the clashes with other leagues racing.We can have adequate replacements from Ipswich if needed,and their interest will be earning as much money as possible.People say guests don't give their all,but most of them do in all honesty.

It will be Simon Lambert in for Kasper after tomorrows meeting at Peterboro.

I asked yesterday if Simon coming back in meant we could have Cook, would that be acceptable to fans?

No disrespect to Simon,but with the points we have left we should be able to do better if my calculates are correct.

Totally agree but Simon does seem to be the default when we need to replace a reserve doesnt he.  I know he is an asset but hopefully the team managers will eventually look a bit more outside the box for cover in the future.

It was. Last thursdays meeting was brilliant, with multiple passes in most races. Interestingly there was only 1 tractor grade after heat 10, and only the ouside line was graded. This worked a treat with plenty of oustside manoeuvres by the riders.

I think only MPT, Riss and Lambert could justifiably complain about being replaced, the other four have not been good enough often enough. Think we’ll see a couple of changes but three or even four wouldn’t be unwelcome for many people.
