Leicester vs Sheffield 3/8/23

[Lenny Lion 138]

Nothing on either teams website about this fixture which is surprising but also worrying that the rumours regarding the team line ups on both sides are true.

I don't know if the rumours are worrying or not, but it is unusual for such a late team declaration.

Thank you. Teams as you would expect. Batch at No.5 though? Paired with reserves in 3 races? Can’t see that, extremely weak pairing.

and is Lewis Kerr fit?

If he's in the programmed lineup I presume he expects to be fit.

[SSL84 541]

Still no sign of team's on either website? Strange maybe teams maybe different to what fans are thinking.

He's riding for Oxford tonight. So, I assume this answers the question...

[Lenny Lion 138]

So the rumours were true.

LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Troy Batchelor, Jake Allen, Drew Kemp.

So, can somebody explain to me why Sheffield are using a "No Facility" facility (Connor Mountain), so that is a facility to replace the injured Jack Holder if Woffinden's "arrangement" doesn't start until next week?

Yet again it's the fans that get short changed!

[foreverblue 6,096]

Well Connor Mountain should surely beat Batch, that shouldnt be too tricky.

I believe they have to use a rider with a 25 per cent lower average, dont know why they didnt announce it until next week

So why can't they use R/R for Holder?

[Phil The Ace 2,860]

Why didn’t Sheffield announce Woffy on Friday and use a guest or rr tomorrow 

 

bad management
