There were all sorts of concerns expressed when Oxford announced their three team plans. My thoughts were that they would okay at home. More than okay actually. But the Oxford faithful may not travel as much having spent their hard earned supporting three teams at home. For what it's worth, I've enjoyed my recent trips to Cowley. I like the atmosphere and the fans are always chatty and friendly. And I especially like the new pits.

It's nice when there is a discussion thread for a particular match. But I have to say that the NDL is alive and well in Leicester. I was at the Middlesbrough match yesterday and couldn't believe the level of support. I couldn't say how many fans were there but a measure of the numbers is that the 50-50 draw prize was over £200. There was a goodly number who stayed on for the MDL match as well.

Oxford Vs Plymouth BSN group 17/4/24
False dawn replied to lisa-colette's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
According to the BSPL site Dan got 21 paid 24 (from 10 rides). He must be cream crackered. It was especially good seeing as how he seems to have got a 5-1 all on his own in heat 12. Edit: They've corrected the error now (maybe we're read, more than we think!) -
Birmingham v Leicester 15th April 2024
False dawn replied to StephenMiller's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I just think there are a lot of uncertain factors at play in this match. The weather (a constant factor at present), PP, new to the scene, Leicester smarting from a couple of recent defeats, Scotty who performed well in his recent spell with the Brummies and, and, and...... Throw into the mix the referee. The last time he presided over a Leicester match, he got a one match suspension. I hope the weather don't win. I wouldn't miss this one for anything. -
Which one? The way things are the only stream we're going to get will be the one running down the the track

Either

RIP Tiger. Thanks for the memories.

Witches v Lions KOC 2nd Leg April 4th
False dawn replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Any local weather would be appreciated. Every other club (yesterday and today) have called off their meetings. Just hope Ipswich haven't got their rise tinted glasses on. -
On the contrary. He's been promoted. The new averages that come into force tomorrow put Zach into the top 5 and Scot in the reserve berth.

I do think Dan T could be a key player. He is riding the tide at the moment. -

Nah. He don't like the place. He only set a new track record in his first ever race there. -

Leicester vs King’s Lynn - Thursday 21st March
False dawn replied to SpeedwayFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The interesting point in the official referee's scorecard is that neither rider was disqualified in heat 2. They were just registered as having fallen. -

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the real source of entertainment. That being the two minute clock. You'd have thought they would have checked it worked correctly prior to the meeting. Repeated attempts to get it stop from starting at 3 minutes were successful late on only for it to then to insist on starting from 40 seconds. Ironically, I felt the meeting did actually move along quite well. -

I think it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. The track was clearly well packed with little loose shale. Standard practice when the weather is wet and unpredictable. Put more shale on and it rains and it quickly turns into a quagmire.
