Fuel crisis?  Saving money for playoffs? Many Leicester fans there?

Yeah it was a brilliant evening, as has been said probably the best so far this season. 

A superb H13 from Danny & Rory

Dan Thompson's mystery illness seems to have backfired. Oh dear how sad

cant see how r/r for dan thompson was ever going to strengthen their team with  those two  reserves, being as they have to cover 3 of his rides,whichever way you play it (with no tactical rides available)means joe thompson has to have 4 rides and hes totally out of his depth at present.

Leicester five race wins and eleven lasts as predicted. As good as Poole are the Lions have seriously underwhelmed since their team changes which made them look as strong as anybody on paper.

No bee in bonnet just looking at the rules for one but not the other, sure craig missed a meeting on a thur night but rode the next day for glasgow but admit could be wrong

Nope. He missed the Thursday and Friday for Ipswich and Glasgow. Richard Lawson guested for Glasgow. Then returned the following Friday. After 8 days.
