That way it’s not too far for the Leicester fans to travel. Ridiculous statement. Owlerton is better than Monmore for most Lions supporters I'd think! Anyway, all three are Greyhound stadiums and there will undoubtedly be Greyhound racing on a Saturday night Monmore might be available on Monday but that is all.

FishersGate 532 Posted October 27, 2022 Either way whoever wins the play offs the lions will be champions in my mind. Leicester - league champions Poole/Leicester - play off winners 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find myself surprisingly agreeing with this point except Poole have completed all their League and play-off fixtures. Its leicester that haven't! As for the Howarth debacle, if it was agreed as part of his 2022 contract, the only issue for me is the rule that allows a guest - it should only be r/r imo.

I mean if it hadn't been waiting for Poole to get the first leg done we'd have been finished by now right? Maybe we should have insisted you ran your meeting elsewhere?
