Delighted to be proved wrong :D 

 

Same here Bagpuss.

This only glosses over the cracks.Proctor still needs replacing ASAP.The management will be cock a hoop over this and think this team can move on And get in the paly offs.They won't. 

Still much delighted they were full to capacity to see Ipswich lose:P:rolleyes:

Second meeting Kerr and Lawson snatched a 5-1 in heat 15 to win in the space of 5 days.

Just shows how far the sport  is going down , not enough riders for one league and no difference in the leagues we have now ! Oh to go back to the good old days .

I bet there isn't 2000 attending next week. Fantastic performance buy our guest, and when will King and Heeps watch were other people are riding. I was keen this season with Crump.& Klindt. Still okay with Allen and Crump. Not very keen when we lost Crump. Had it after over 50 years of supporting with Guest and RR probably lasting for week's. Pennies going else were from now on.

 Tell and Baggy.. That makes 3 of us. Agree we need changes fast.BWD for Ty, might be one. Would probably still be 1.5 ish points under.I’m a bit worried  about Bridger on 4.20 ish tbh.

Well done to kings Lynn. I don’t know if we thought after two heats we had won or if kings Lynn wanted it more.  
I think heaps got passed 3 if not 4 times tonight and Danny twice.  
definitely need to replace Jordan if he is long term injured. Summers or Pickering maybe. Or even Ben barker once he has recovered

We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  Thank goodness for Jake and Anders.

Put me down for the 4th spot. Never saw this coming in a million years.

Would take those team changes in a heartbeat.

Kept quiet when everyone was predicting a 60-30 drumming for tonight’s meeting, tonight’s meeting for me was entirely predictable tbh,

Heeps making mistakes early meeting throwing away points riding far too wide when the tracks dry and no dirt line built up yet - predictable

nicholls a 5 point rider past his prime scoring 4 points at no.1 - predictable

riders such as Jorgensen Kerr, lawson and riss continuing to score and ride the Foxhall track well as they have their entire careers - predictable

A witches team without klindt and now crump completely lacking gating prowess at the business end of the meeting - predictable

hawkins failing to tell his riders he wanted a 3-3 in heat 13 so they couldn’t use the tac sub in heat 14 and proctor having had 7 rides would’ve been the weaker reserve Kingsley in that race instead of lawson - predictable

kerr and lawson jumping out sharply for a 5-1 in heat 14 on the tac sub - predictable

i didn’t expect to lose tonight but I certainly couldn’t see the 60-30 people were predicting when they have riders that ride Foxhall well.

need to make a good addition pronto in Jordan’s place and desperately need better guests in crumps place than nicholls he’s just not reliably that level anymore and hasn’t been for sometime, would’ve been better to have ostergaard guest at 2 and r/r for crump tonight tbh

Just imagine if we hadn't have had a reserve as good as Anders has been. As soon as Klindt deal was over Lawson should have been in instead of Stewart,, if its a proper sport about winning. Also, instead of using someone like Scott,,, who is nowhere near enough to a number one,,, why didn't they offer Craig Cook 3 or 4 guarrented guest bookings, just in case Jason Crump takes longer to heal,, we are far better off using same guest if possible,, one that could possibly do the job. Anyway,, enough said from me, cos I'm getting angry,,, well done to the stars.

Well done Lynn, kept hanging on in there. Been impressed with Richard Lawson ever since hearing him speak so well at the last ever Lakeside meeting, although handing him the opportunity for a tactical substitute ride in heat 14 probably helped tonight. Andres Rowe certainly saved it being worse.

I think we all know changes will be made. However with the additional travel restrictions getting in riders is going to be more difficult than ever. Added to that with all this doubling up theres going to be more injuries down the line and I don't think we will be the only team to suffer.

With all the ageing riders are they going to run out of steam? Pedersen being a prime example on monday.
