Wolves v King’s Lynn 2nd Sept

Craig Cook wins heat 5 taking Sam Masters from the back then withdraws from his next ride and, presumably, the meeting citing illness. What’s going on now especially that IRR is now in place!

If he was ill yesterday and clearly at risk today, why travel? 

Its selfish and I suspect there is more going on than on the face of it.

I suspect you don't know what you are talking about. Why don't you wait to see what Craig has to say before you slag him off.

In some peoples eyes he would have been wrong whatever he had done.If he pulled out of the meeting earlier today people would have still said the same virtually.Although it would have have been he's not ill he's just taking the p*ss.And this way he is taking the P*ss.If he is indeed pulling one,then i'm sure he will feel the wrath of Buster.

Guess Tofty is injured now,as no way would i have put Riss in as a tac sub for him.You would have replaced Kerr in ht12.

Seriously hope Jorgensen is not part of next years team plans. Shocking away from home!

He has been like night and day this season.

Up to and including tonight...

TJ …..  Home 7.71       Away 3.66.

He's not the only one, but the biggest H and A difference.

But that would only happen if the injury wasnt genuine.

Surely a sick note would sort it out.

Do you get a sick note for the first 7 days?Anyway if you have something like a migraine or sickness on the shi*s your not really wanting to jump on a bike and race around.Be too dangerous with a migraine anyway.Will doctors give sicknotes for those.

Its different for speedway riders potentially because they are self employed.

I'm pretty certain the law states that you can self cert for 7 days as an employee.

I agree with the stag.I like Jorgensen but feel he does let the side down terribly away from home.He is great to watch at home and carries great speed and you just wonder why he can't ever repeat it away from the NA.This is what you get from quite a few second strings though,and that has been the same through out the years.There is no consistency with them unlike what you normally get from top boys.

I like the bloke as well, but over 4 points difference must be the widest in the league.

I agree, Jorgensen’s time at Lynn has surely run its course now. 

Im going to stick my neck out and say that Robert and Lewis have been disappointing this year. Capable of much more than they have shown. 

MPT and Erik the two bright spots of a pretty wretched campaign high has fallen way, way below the standards of last season.

Lewis including tonight are Home … 7.09     Away ….4.19

We have to many riders  who seem to love riding the our home track.

Others including tonight.

 Erik Home …. 8.00    Away 5.29

MPT  Home 7.44     Away 5.28

I know averages are generally  a bit worse away, and all teams are probably like it, but Lynn have to many with a big difference home and away.

I would keep Erik,  who is on the way up, and probably Tofty.

Because he tells lies.

He did not change bikes and did not alter anything on the bikes.

If he was ill, fine, say that and stick to it.

just be honest with the people who pay to watch

I hope Nicholls gets a ban as when I heard the pay rates on Thursday, he was first name to spring to mind for not turning up.

Charles Wright missed a meeting at Ipswich but rode either side of it, so he should have a ban.

with no punishment it will carry on. The clubs should also get no facility to cover any bans for riders picking and choosing when to put in any effort or not.
