Anyway lets hope the track prep is similar to the last couple of meetings for this potential 'banana-skin' of a fixture. Just as a reminder the Lions were leading upto heat 6 on their last visit, until the 8 5-1s kicked in!! Bellego and Allen give the Lions a bit more hope....

ray c 2,299 Posted August 9, 2018 Is it actually right that we should be riding tonight . I know Leicester have agreed to it and Poole are at full strength Leicester with two guest rider's one through injury and the other because of the double up rule .rye house went out of business because of fixed race nights so at the end of the day fixed race nights becomes a farce .but then last week a polish club raced on a Monday night so who knows ?

I was not aware that FRN can be ignored as long as both parties are in agreement, apologies for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to the east of us it looks like it’s going to be raining for most of the day. Woke up to something quite unusual. An overcast day. Hope they don’t over water the track. A win tonight will take us up to second in the league, a point behind Swindon with 2 meetings in hand. Is that the 2 meetings with the Robins, that you allude to?

Don't think that there's any country in the world that takes speedway more seriously than Poland. Do you object to Polish teams win at all costs attitude?

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) I think the bookies have this one about right. Poole -24 or Leicester +24 at the same odds.Could be even wider. Edited August 9, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2018 The guests certainly strengthen Leicester. Auty and Wright wouldn’t have scored much. Auty would have been lucky to score. The replacements, if they gate, can both be quick when leading. Happy to take a 2 point win. But feel the margin will be a bit bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted August 9, 2018 Allen scored 6 at reserve last time he rode at your place. I can't see him scoring any more against your current reserves.Probably more than Auty would though. Bellego should be an improvement if he turns up. Still a very big Poole win. Certainly bigger than it would of been if the meeting was yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 9, 2018 As long as we see a meeting as good as the last two, regardless of score, the fans will all go home happy again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
