I thought all the presenters were poor on the night and certainly did not persuade me to pay for any future streams with BSN.

24 meetings for Leicester  6 retirements

You're bang on with this I'll say that. I rode myself in the early 2000s and would often be in the pits at Wolverhampton for the 2nd half racing - it was 50/50 whether Derek Bodley would allow us to race after the meeting. Me and my dad now have an in joke whenever we watch speedway and quote Derek on the regular when a meeting is dragging on - "no 2nd half tonight lads" would be his phrase of choice. It wasn't so bad for us as we lived 20 minutes away, but my dad would have to knock off work an hour early to get us there on time so I do understand it's not easy.

Doesn't really matter... it's for the Berwick topic, this is about Leicester and his performances for Leicester where he quit 12 times last season where the rest of the team combined numbered 11!

I notice you're always quick to jump in when someone criticises BSN Ian - you're welcome to your opinion however! I'll say this though - your reply states that the free stream was a lesser quality because it was free? Not exactly a great idea from a business perspective is it?

Agreed I would love to see the US come again I started going in 1984 so missed Penhall but can remember test matches and team cups at Lynn when the Moran brothers, Kings, Sigalos, Schwartz, Cookie, Sam and Correy were in town all super talented exciting riders and the place was packed to the rafters. As you say Hancock and Hamill came a tad later but sadly the US has bigger issues sourcing new talent than the UK. I always bang on about the days of Loram and Henka but Kelly Moran and Cookie in particular were both supreme natural talents also but just lacked that extra 5-10% dedication that seperated natural talent from the very top.
