He does seem a bit injury prone doesn't he and a bit of a slow healer... not a great combo

If they don’t have a trust they need to set one up. Often when a promoter departs all fund raising monies are lumped in with the main account and is lost forever. Belle Vue set up a trust to ring fence money raised by supporters away from the club promoters. It’s mainly used for injured Belle Vue rider needs and other safety related infrastructure. Any expenditure is voted on by the trustees to ensure it’s not squandered Willy nilly.

Oh dear, doesn't sound promising for his future career in the sport.

No not Dave . I mean the club owner.

Do you mean David Hemsley?

It is quite obvious, by their actions, that Promoters themselves don't take it all too seriously, so fans also need to not bother about how the sport is ran... Just go along, and, hopefully, enjoy the racing... Admittedly, this approach doesn't facilitate any long term growth in a team sport, as an emotional attachment to your team is key for success in a team sport, however, it should see the sport getting through to its centenary at least in 2028, and maybe even a few years longer, as the 30 and 40 somethings, DU'ers, gradually retire and tracks run out of riders of a "decent level" to continue...

Hopefully it'll go to employ a number 1 once the first set of averages come out!

I think the team picks it's self especially at home, 1. Jonas. 2. Niklas. 3. Cookie 4 Tate. 5. Batch. 6. Jammie. 7. Vinnie maybe swap 3/4 and 6/7 away from home

So apparently Leicester did have Insurence but they wanted the the go fund me money because the pay out would take some time . So if that's true, where's the extra money going? Is it coming back to the supporters? Or is it staying put? What grills me is that the owner is a millionaire..

Captain Zach Cook? McDiarmid didnt even make press and practice for Oxford!

As someone who is born and bred in Leicestershire, Northampton are NOT a local derby/rivalry. It's Cov all the way.

craig and tate rode well together in 2024 so maybe a good order at home maybe switch craig to 5 away if batch not on form but think he will be ok

Mitch Mcdiarmaid is beating him to that accolade at Oxford tonight but it is only a challenge match. Cook can win the official meeting missing award.

Granted but that was probably against the weakest top league team line up's in history Phil.

Always remember Sam Ermolenko after he won his world title saying i've got the mindset now where when I really need to win a race against the worlds best I can do it and that mentality is what makes the top 1-2% in any sport. After that quip I remember watching Sam v Han's Neilson in a world cup round at Coventry and Han's was probably at that period where he was nigh on invincible in the sport. It came down to which ever one of them finished ahead of the other that Country took the prize Sam gated and Hans looked quicker behind him but sheer skill and racing brain kept the great Dane behind for all four laps, IT was an absolute master class in track craft.

If you swop "attending UK speedway " to "having sex", its a phrase most women have used for centuries, I've never heard it said though........

Yes could only happen in speedway 😂

Decent enough opener with the interest of The Aces taking to the track collectively for the first time this season diverting attention from the lack of racing early on. This winter & recent rain produced a very grippy circuit which we all know is a no no. Probably 4-5 races with any passing and all towards the end so I can see why fans might think it a poor night, the hold ups for Norick didn’t help but I never crumble when an injured rider is being see to and nor should anyone else imo. More positives than negatives from The Aces against the champions elect. Top two and middle order were fine. Norick would have scored well and Tate top scored so that settles the nerves for the coming season. Poor Will had a night to forget but hopefully that’s behind him now and no more ef’s. The Aces were gating better overall than usual and if they manage to get of the start away from home we’ll be set fair for a productive season.

Oh I didnt realise that, I thought knock out competitions were only two legged.

the ko cup is a round robin essentially, Leicester are in this group too.

PK was better than I expected but Jack was very poor, I would expect a much improved performance from him at Owlerton and a fairly easy passage through to the next round of the k o cup for Sheffield.

When bomber guests for them every other week he’ll bring the average age of that team down ..

remember the last time dads army came to the party 👀

He is annoyed by anything Poole do!
