iainb 5,021 Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) If I had my tin foil hat on I may have thought Sheffield were throwing this one so Leicester get more exposure in the league and play offs as the club is up for sale... but I haven't... so I don't think that at all. Bad management it is then... from the joint GB manager too Edited August 2, 2023 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me neither tbh, like Phil suggests it just sounds like they've redeclared their team too early... or maybe I'll put my tin foil hat back on again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teromaafan 586 Posted August 2, 2023 Putting Batch at No.5 is purely down to the weak (no disrespect to Mountain) opposite number for the opposition. I hope that the Leicester management will be using this as a benchmark for Troy, riding at the same number as a supposedly inferior opponent. Batch should be mindful that Mountain is without PL team and is also a Lions asset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted August 2, 2023 Bates v Bates, what a nightmare for the paying public. Let them eat cake they say, yes please you say. uk speedway gets entirely what it deserves if this forum is anything to go by. What a great shame. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoundTheBoards 271 Posted August 2, 2023 I think something has fallen through at the last minute, because at 9am this morning it seemed to be all systems go for Woffinden and his name was going in the programme. The redeclaration must have gone through since it's no facility for Woffinden rather than a facility for Holder. All seems odd, and I can understand the conspiracy theories with both teams being in the same ownership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was never allowed before, at least not for us Aces when we asked but Wolves got it through no problem so I’m sure as a Cartel team all will be spiffing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
