I shall be peeping over the top of the curtain rail🤣

At home with wife and kids

Not they could muster 6 between them from his rides, he will be missed.

magic speedway, magic atmosphere. a huge lead to take to the second leg with 4 heatleaders

fully expecting the track to be six inches deep in shale and wetter than a bonnie blue mattress

You tend to only quote part of my Post.The Sheffield track on Thursday seemed to be ok,the riders rode accordingly.Speedway in GB still has its moments.

No peeking! I forbid it 😜😂

R/r would not be a disadvantage as Grahn, Loftus and Kye do well at Glasgow, Paco is not that great round there, only got 6 last time

I have blinds 😁

its all a big assumption that NONE of the gp riders would want to ride though, you've picked some of the weakest teams and ruled every big rider out, which wouldnt be the case.

We will have to wait and see to what extent the changes are “interesting” or otherwise but most probably nothing more than something to dumb down the league competition on the basis of survival tactics rather than introducing something resembling a plan for growth. I really do hope I’m wrong but nothing in terms of changes made by the collective promoters during the past decade give me faith to the contrary.

Looking forward to this, Leicester must feel this is theirs to lose but if Sheffield open with a 5-1 or two then its anyones! Afterall Sheffield had a very hadny leg after 4-5 races and it all was gradually chipped away at!

Well, somebody should have told Jack Holder that last Thursday night vs Leicester, his 2 races vs Douglas and Fricke were incredibly risky and a joy to watch. Whether that was more down to personal rivalry than club rivalry is probably a fair question to ask, it certainly wouldn't have been for the money. But don't be too quick to do British Speedway down, it still has its moments

If reports he got booed at Sheffield are correct think he wont need much firing up 😉 Sheffield are capable of springing a good result away as we have seen this season a couple of times, But with Fricke who has been brilliant this season, Masters and Douglas also going well its a difficult task, Hopefully Becker picks up his form for the Lions, that was my one doubt with the Lions as R/R worked so well. Having said all that im going for a comfortable home win.

Just seen on FB that Paco has broken his shoulder (get well soon!) They definitely need a guest at Glasgow rather than r/r imo.

Will you be keeping your curtains closed for this one? 😁

This should be a very comfortable aggregate victory for Leicester but its Play Off speedway so you never know. An Ippo v Leic final has the potential to be very close indeed.

Well he tried his best at Sheffield including getting Rowe excluded in heat 14 so I dont think you can question his committment. If Leicester blow this now it will be a massive shock, they could do with Becker scoring a few to make it easier and Joe T riding better would help, Rowe goes well at Leicester usually so that will help Sheffield but overall I cant see how it will be close.

Lovely dry day ahead, but cold, so wrap up warm tonight.

Where will 'Howarth's' heart lie? 😀

Well you can count me out if that’s the level of speedway served up. I’ll be washing my hair Thursday evenings! 🙄

And as I stated... if those riders drop out for the following year but qualify again the experience will do them no harm long term... as it did for Woffinden. Might Be's are preferable to Never Gonna Be's.

Personally think this will be easy for Leicester, Max will go through the card, he doesnt need to gate to win races at Leicester, Magic is a good guest although Morris used to be excellent at Beaumont Park, Magic has some great battles with Doyley way back but he isnt that rider anymore. Masters and Douglas and to a lesser degree Howarth are good too so just dont see it being close.

Horrific!! Anything close to line ups such as those would be the end of British Speedway
