Lenny Lion

Only 1 winner of this match . The weather. I can already see on my ring doorbell that’s it’s raining 3 miles from the track consistently heavy. Why on earth is the meeting still on? can Stewart & Paul not read the forecast ? I have now have no choice but to rush home from work & get upto the track before inevitable announcement is made that the meeting is postponed due to the rain that has been falling since 4pm.

You have to question Leon Flints attitude sometimes . He was totally uninterested last night even before the rain . I would go as far to say he is the most over rated rider in British Speedway

Here we go . Riders should be on parade . No more than 10 minutes of drizzle in the past 24 hours . Tactical call off by Stewart you heard it here first .

Who are you to “clarify the clubs position” ? All you are is a jumped up commercial manager who clearly thinks he represents the club on every aspect now . Steward staffing has nothing to do you. Maybe let the club clarify their position if it needs to be clarified publicly. People’s private messages should stay private not released into the public. I believe you have crossed the line .

Leicester vs Belle Vue is postponed due to a poor weather forecast.

Dan Thompson did not choose Ipswich over Leicester he had no choice. Each club had first option over their 2023 season ending rising star. Under the rules if a rider refuses a rising star spot then they are not allowed to sign for another club as a rising star. Because Ipswich wanted Dan as their rising star his only decision was ride for Ipswich and do 2 leagues or only ride in the Championship for a club if he can get one. Riders can opt out of the R/S programme amd sign for clubs like Jason Edwards did at Sheffield but if he is dropped he will not be allowed to sign for another club as a R/S nor can he guest as a R/S.

You look at how Sheffield have started their team building (J.Holder,Woffinden C Holder) & look likely to add Josh Pickering & Kyle Howarth. I really fear that the team Leicester have put together will really struggle to challenge that team.

Leicester team is all done & dusted . 3 return from 2023 3 have previously ridden for the Lions in past seasons. 1 makes his debut for the Lions A solid team but nowhere near a title challenging team.

But it does’t work like that. Top doesn’t meet 4th . Top team gets to choose who they want to race in the semi final. IF Leicester make it I think they will pick Leicester

An exciting match in prospect . Wolves come with a fair few riders who seem to like the Leicester track . I am intrigued to see how Cook does on home debut for Leicester. So many times he has come as a visiting rider & been a thorn in our side but you watch him score 1 or 2 points when he wears the Lions race jacket. Looks like Wolves have mixed their riding order up from when the sides met 10 days ago at Monmore Green they have put Douglas at 5 & Schlein at 4 Leicester 1. Max Fricke 2. Justin Sedgmen 3. Richie Worrall 4. Craig Cook 5. Richard Lawson 6. Jake Allen 7. Drew Kemp Wolves 1. Sam Masters 2. Steve Worrall 3. Luke Becker 4. Rory Schlein 5. Ryan Douglas 6. Zach Cook 7. Leon Flint

Why is Tarrasenko not riding ?

I was shopping in Beaumont Leys at 4pm & it rained solid bouncing off the floor for over 25 minutes.

TONIGHTS MEETING IS OFF !!

So the rumours were true. Tai Woffinden WILL NOT ride at Leicester. Connor Mountain guests LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Troy Batchelor, Jake Allen, Drew Kemp.SHEFFIELD: Tobiasz Musielak, Kyle Howarth, Adam Ellis, Josh Pickering, CONNOR MOUNTAIN , Lewis Kerr, Dan Gilkes.

Nothing on either teams website about this fixture which is surprising but also worrying that the rumours regarding the team line ups on both sides are true.
