Elmo 274 Posted April 19, 2023 There is a 4 hour time limit for parking at the shopping centre but there are bus stops. If you are getting there really early it might be worth seeing if the stadium car park is open. Don’t expect too much from the city centre though lol. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 586 Posted April 19, 2023 Tomorrow will be Fricke’s third home meeting. I’m expecting nothing less than a double figure score from him. I can’t accept any excuses beyond tomorrow for him getting used to the track. He is a Grand Prix rider. Hopefully Emil’s performance on Monday will be the wake up call he needs. Regardless of his status, Dickson’s patience is no doubt already being tested. Max does seem like a nice chap and we are all desperate for him to be a success. Riding against his previous club will hopefully be an additional motivation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a comment from someone who will be shelling out for three home meetings in a week and getting right behind my team but telling it like it is……….R Sole.

Kurtz polish match is a rearranged meeting that was rained off a few weeks ago. I was told as part of the deal with the PZM to allow riders to do more leagues it was agreed that Polish clubs could rearranged postponed fixtures in midweek & have first refusal on riders over UK,Sweden & Denmark if they are due to be racing for their club in those country’s on the rearranged date. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester was a track that a few thought Emil would take a few rides to figure out, but on his first ever ride there he smashes the track record on his way to a full max! Ok Emil is a level above Fricke, but you’re correct Fricke is still a quality rider and GP rider and he’s been poor so far and must do better. He was very good around his home Belle Vue track when he got comfortable so I’d expect it to be the same around Leicester, eventually! Needs to get cracking mind.

FishersGate 522 Posted April 20, 2023 Fricke will be given time. It's not just fricke that's started poorly at home. Allen has been disappointing so far and Dan T is finding it tough even at home. Morris hasn't even hit big number at home yet. BUT we've only ridden two home meetings and Dickson will give it more time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt he should be fired up to prove a point tonight, if im being perfectly honest ive thought for a couple of seasons now he hasnt got that much improvement in him as regards to being a major player at GP level, he will always be capable of banging in one big performance as weve seen but then returns to mediocrity. Last season i was expecting him to be up there with Doyle in a weak league but have to say he wasnt the no1 i expected him to be. As i say he should need no extra motivation tonight and would expect double figures from him at least around 11. I like Max hope hoes well after tonight of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
