For some reason it’s always in a ropey state on a Monday night after the results for an hour or so well done Leicester probably just done enough now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERACE 440 Posted September 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, SPD444 said: Don’t think there is any picking of opponents in the play offs this year, one plays four and two plays three. Holder is no longer a member of the team, Tai replaced him and the rule from last year allowing replacements for long term injuries to riders has been dropped following the number of complaints after Aces signed Robert.. not sure what Tigers can do. He means Chris Holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The post you commented/quoted on, stated holder hates monmore, that Holder was Chris, they never mentioned Jack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted September 4, 2023 Eh, I quite enjoyed that, generally don't enjoy the racing at Monmore but went as it was the last league match. Wolves were generally poor, S Worrall started well but tailed off. Becker, Masters & Douglas started slow but did enough. Cook, Schlein Flint I expected more from. Leicester had Fricke who was outstanding & Kemp who did a job, but did throw points away. Kerr rode well, Sedgeman & Allen were largely anonymous. Lawson was excluded on grounds I didn't believe existed started well but faded but then got the job done in the super heat Who'm I missing... oh R Worrall, did better than I expected but shouldn't have gifted passing opportunities to the Wolves duo in heat 14. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted September 4, 2023 The Lions were well up for it tonight as they regularly hit the first turn in front. Wolves had another one of those home meetings where they struggled somewhat. I’m not a big fan of the super heat but if it is to stay I hope we can get rid of the extra point on offer as I feel there should never be more than 3 points earned between the teams for the second leg of a league match. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farcical points gained in recent weeks , a reward for not being good enough to win their home meetings. Whatever happens next year get rid of this extra heat. Make your mine up ! You say Wolves have gained farcical points through the superheat but then are happy that they came up short via the exact same system ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got what they deserved. Should be 1pt to each team. The only time a Super heat should ever be needed is when the aggregate scores are level. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the American idea that there should be no such thing as a draw. On the other hand I am sure some fans have enjoyed getting another heat thrown in for 'free'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester Lion 274 Posted September 5, 2023 Really enjoyable meeting last night. Close scoreline, good racing, and no long delays between the heats. Heat 15 in particular was outstanding, a fantastic race in which all four raced hard and fair. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
