Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 6, 2017 First league match of the season after a few warm up meetings for Poole as we head for Leicester on Saturday for the start of the serious stuff. Not a good hunting ground for Poole in the past and Saturday will be just as difficult. Would like to see three points for Poole but its not going to be easy. Leicester are stronger with the late team changes and this could go down to the wire. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted April 6, 2017 No Bates or Riss for Lions, no Kerr for Poole. Massively in Poole's favour. Away four pointer or Matt will be sharpening the axe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester are stronger with the late team changes and this could go down to the wire. Thoughts? wow very strange thoughts as always! So Leicester are missing a rider who scored 14 in his last home match and is British under 21 champion plus a second string who in the 5 races he has finished is unbeaten by an opponent and you think they are STRONGER without them!!!! And Poole are without a weak second string who can be replaced by a reserve who was a heat leader on the same track last season!!!! Even for you to say that Leicester are stronger is just daft!! Poole by 8 or otherwise could be a season fighting relegation unless changes are made 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevethelion 192 Posted April 7, 2017 Bates & Riss missing will be massive blow to Lions, both have had excellent starts to the season. Guests for Riss might not be too bad, possibly Starke or Charles Wright, but different matter for Bates, especially has his average was amended down from 5.02 to 4.89 in the week, only obvious looking guests are ex-Lions Graversen or Hall, which means Klindt should have a very easy time at reserve, expect him to have at least 6 rides & he'll be disappointed if he doesn't get 13 or 14 points. If Poole don't win by at least 6-8 points i'll be most surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted April 7, 2017 What second string are Poole without? Kerr is riding so it evens it up a bit. But Leicester without Bates and Riss is like Poole without Holder and Klindt. If that was the case im sure we would hear how much under strength Poole are. Poole are favourites for this as Leicester severeley weakened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole are favourites for this as Leicester severeley weakened The way Jack Holder is riding we would be stronger without him! The way Bates and Riss are going a massive blow to Leicester with a guest for Bates and r/r for Riss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way Bates and Riss are going a massive blow to Leicester with a guest for Bates and r/r for Riss Surely they won't go R/R for Riss, that would only leave 2 weak reserves & Auty to take his 4 rides.

stevethelion 192 Posted April 7, 2017 Do the rules allow for a guest? I think so, we had 2 guests last week, one of which was for a second-string(Auty). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
