Bears still have the same issues as previous meetings, but I thought Bailey rode better than Hume , despite scoring less points. Mulford is obviously a concern , he just can’t get out of the gate to give himself a chance. Not many 2 pointers to choose from so I’d stick with him a bit longer. For the Brummies, Sedgmen was superb until the last heat and Bowtell and Pearson rode well. Morris had a disastrous night and if he’d been anywhere near on it the score could have been much different. Much closer than most predicted ,I think that if all the brum riders could perform on the same night things could get better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think you could say the same about the Bears, but yes the Brummies put on a good performance tonight and was definitely more encouraging for them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's interesting what you say as a (temporary) Leicester fan. In amongst a glittering list of names, Max Frick, Bomber and so on, Justin is surely the Lions signing of the year. He's scoring solidly in every meeting and seems to fear no one. Nick, on the other hand, who rode for the Lions last year, looks frustrated and possibly unsure what to do to regain his form. Belle Vue, recently grabbed a draw when we were 6 up with 2 to go and then won the Super(fluous) heat. Fair play to Nick, he "fronted it up" in the post meeting interviews but he was so upset that he couldn't speak. I wasn't cross, I really felt for him because it appeared he couldn't understand what had just happened. Maybe it's to do with his motors, I don't know. But I sense he's very competitive and it won't be long before we see him scoring good points again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was just the Speedway Track covers for most Greyhound /Speedway Stadia usually consist of just Tarpaulin covers, Newcastle greyhounds still going, I can never understand why Speedway does not try cricket type covers ie the ones on wheels.
