eric i 617 Posted April 2, 2022 I expected more from Zaine Kennedy returning to Leicester. Jake's not started the season well, I didn't expect much from the others at Leicester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,326 Posted April 2, 2022 As much as I dislike scunthorpe and enjoy seeing them get stuffed I'm sure they will improve and be in and around the playoffs especially when jake allen starts firing I rate him highly if he doesn't then they are in trouble. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe had the lower starting average which is why he is currently in a reserve berth. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester is my top for the league as I can't see them scoring less than 50 points at home every meeting as there just to strong & I hope the diamonds can get at least 35 next Saturday but it's a big ask going off Leicester's last to results...

ScunnyDan 335 Posted April 3, 2022 Bit early to be judging scunny as a #### team just yet imo Dissapointing result last night of cause, but it was our first meeting of the season - and we really couldn't have wished for tougher opposition, and at Leicester, a track we never peform well on. Leicester already had a couple of meetings so was less race-rusty. There wont me many if any teams go to Leicester this season and pick up any league points imo. Scunny will improve i'm sure! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrizHeathen 37 Posted April 3, 2022 Some decent racing despite the scoreline. Scunny were very dissapointing though. Warmer weather and closer scorelines asap please. Joe Thompson the big mover at this very early stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,277 Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Teams getting hammered away isnt necessarily bad for their business to be fair... Putting together a team to win at home most weeks, and compete closely against the better teams, isnt the worst plan in the world to save money but also keep your income at its optimum.. Conversely. I hope the "too strong" teams that have been put together, that will batter the others at home and win a fair few on their travels, (by some big margins too I would think), have enough to keep paying out the big money their riders will be earning... Workington the classic example of big home wins, and (even though unexpected), big away wins, costing them thousands... And lots of big home wins can not only cost a lot but also can REDUCE attendances as "weak teams" visiting can sometimes get a swerve from some of the patrons.. Especially mid to late season if play off spots are already 100% secured, meaning some matches as pretty much "dead rubbers" given no relegation fight for the opposition..
