Dougy and Dan T are our best two riders at the moment but they're paired together at 1 & 2. Dan appears to be wasted in that position. Morris will now be paired with reserves for three of his rides, which looks a weak combination. That said, it should not affect the meeting outcome and Dickson is no doubt still smarting from that earlier defeat at Northampton.

Ideal replacement, depends on his Wednesday commitments in Denmark

I don't remember reading it was an temporary injury replacement, which would mean Tobias could only return to Plymouth at the management committee discretion. His avers would be too high now anyway. But he would fit to replace Bowrs at Poole 🤔

Kemp's statement doesn't make sense! Cook started on 7.99 & went up to 8.39, Kemp signed for Workington on 8.07, which was his converted Prem average. Kemp finished last year on 8.08 in the Champ. So the rule must be only 1 rider above 8 at the start of the season?

Expecting this to be a mauling. Leicester 57-33

Attended this meeting on Monday as my first visit to Northampton and to play devils advocate here I absolutely loved it from the first impression. One of the promoter’s out the front greeting supporters was a really classy touch and made a world of difference. I entered feeling already valued as a spectator. The food was of a decent quality. The drinks whilst on the penny side come with a nice souvenir Foxes cup which is a nice touch. Merch is of a decent quality and I understand they are constantly refreshing and adding to it. The team is obviously sub-par but they’ve not exactly been pushovers, they could have easily won this meeting if Batchelor (get rid btw) & Jeppesen showed up a bit earlier. A quality rider up top and a better effort from Jeppesen and this team will win its home meetings which is vital to keeping good crowd levels. Yes the track needs work; and it is always going to struggle after Stox & Bangers meetings but it isn’t far off being a good race track as was shown in the latter heats. This has made me a fan and is a better option to me as a Coventry fan than visiting and supporting Leicester. I will 100% be back. Well done Northampton.

I bet he wishes he could have ridden against Northampton last season as he could get his 12-13 points against those so so tough Foxes. Better than the single figure scores he banks against other teams that see his average from those meetings almost identical to that with the unprofessional Brummies. Figure sans Northampton 7.18 Brummies figure 6.87. Difference due to not riding in the harder number 1 position. 0.31, inc bonus. As has been said you can tell which Musielak you get when you see which club sign him. Brummies = Witches. Dam those facts & statistics.

They should have stuck with the proposed 3 team play off to make it a little bit more competitive. 1st straight through to Final. 2nd vs 3rd in SF.

Wasn't he permanently replaced by Anze Grmek ? I don't think you can recall a rider you have dropped, unless dropped due to injury is treated differently to being dropped due to poor form or being the make weight in a multiple rider change.

Luckily we have all our own fence etc now.

If you read Kemps article in SS he states he is lucky because his Championship average went up but they have reassessed on his Premiership Ave which obviously makes him fit into Workington in place of Cook.His GSA average for Workington is under 8 if you look on Website.

Harry Fletcher is a bit good isn't he?

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Sam Masters, Kyle Howarth, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. NORTHAMPTON: Jaimon Lidsey, Kye Thomson, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Troy Batchelor, Nicolai Klindt, Jonas Jeppesen, Luke Harrison.

Tobias back on track practicing i see, I wonder if he will be back at Plymouth

Doesn't matter what Drew's average was as long as it was below Craig Cook's average. The problem was that Cook was 7.99 at the start of the season.

Totally agree. Said exactly the same when he signed

No, the F1 World Final is being run at Northampton by Yorstox who are hiring the track from Spedeworth. Trackstar who run Kings Lynn have one of the F1 World Semi Finals on 25th July.

Which made him 8.07 as per green sheet average

That’s a good line up.Pity about TV situation.

It would have been easier and less expensive for Northampton to share Leicester's track and by the same token a Peterborough team could race at Kings Lynn. Maybe thats the way forward? you have riders doubling up, why not tracks so long as its not more than a hours drive between the two and the stadiums would spend less time just sitting their not attracting revenue.

Leigha Cartmell (Jay's mother) said that both Charles Wright and Cookie gave up their rides in the top scorers race so that the younger riders could have a go.
