They only lost the superheat not the meeting, they still get a league point for drawing plus also the BP. If you lose a meeting you get zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted August 7, 2023 Leicester would have won comfortably with Bomber and Batchelor, Cook was as expected. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted August 7, 2023 Quite clearly Wolves lucky to "win" the meeting. Anybody know what happened to Fricke in the superheat ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How the ref hasn't pulled them back is quite beyond me! Nonsense. I stand directly in line with the starting gate. Heat 15 was one of the best ever starts I have seen. Schlein did not move a consensus shared by the fans around me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How the ref hasn't pulled them back is quite beyond me! His flyer in heat 13 was embarrassing. The only passing seemed to come from riders making mistakes due to the state of the track. When experienced riders struggle you have to question the track safety. Goodness knows how crap it could have been without the extra half an hour of preparation. As disappointing as the travelling fans were, to come away from there with two points is something we would have settled for at the start of the night. Max got up from his fall at the end so I hope he’s okay. Great contribution from the reserves tonight and their form could be crucial going into the play offs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Max isn't fit for Thursday let's hope Stewart Dickson has Chris Harris's number on speed dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, according to the league tables, Leicester lost. We can't have a fair result i.e. a draw, anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
