Being honest wouldn't have a problem with them all back - I think in many ways we all know a fully fit Witches would in all probability have made it to the finals this season. Most of the riders have for me done their jobs for most of the season a couple of frustrations remain but for next year - i think Brennan if they could get him in that would be great. Doyle of course and Emil again be great but lets see! Dan T deserves and other go and Keynan Rew could make it a third season of progression - he's done well this season for me. Adam is a decent no 2 or 4 also. I still don't have an issue with Danny he has largely done whats asked but I feel Tom B for him might freshen it up and bring in a rider on the up rather than one who is nearing the end of his career.

Having seen both sides ride at each others places this season I feel Sheffield ride the NSS better than BV do Owlerton - of course it could all change once the action starts!

duplicated

what are they 🤔

Haven't changed my view on this - home win tonight with a bigger home win on Thursday!

2 decisions were certainly baffling to me, and everyone else it seems.

Agree here - expect a Sheffield win on aggregate - the Lions generally do well at Owlerton so thats the best final IMHO

Kings performance last night wasn't good - I'm not going to get stuck in a long protracted debate about things but last season the Witches won the cup and i believe Danny was in that side, fate has intervened for 2024 with injuries but yes in 2024 the Witches haven't won anything other than sympathy!

Been saying they should get Brennan at Foxhall for 2 years now - in this 2nd leg he almost scored what Emil or Jason would have - lads only going one way for now! Up!

Just finished watching as wasn’t able to watch it live - brave effort from the Witches - Leicester made hard work of that and frankly only squeezed through!! A couple of very questionable calls from the ref! get TomB to Foxhall for next season!

Given his recent form i would say his two opening wins were slightly against my expectation so he outperfrmed in that respect. Heat 11 maybe disappointing but it was the strongest Leicester duo in Fricke and Lawson who both out average him comfortably. One is a GP rider of course too! As for heat 15 - well who knows - Brennan and 3 wins out of 4 on the night and Kvech to my mind was always going to get one of the spots being a GP rider and on 9+1 at that stage.

Some of us would love to have our home tracks back no matter how bad the racing is perceived to be by others!

Danny did nothing wrong tonight - good score 2 good wins

Leicester just got that back - I would say they will get through now but good effort from the witches tonight

I am sure this isn’t coming across that well on Tv but the racing is fairly close - the Witches are gating better - passing is harder unless you are Emil or Jason at Foxhall! Leicester seem half asleep at the starts just like the Witches were the last time they met here a few weeks back!

They are / did and two Leicester fans were dancing to it 🫣

Can confirm I am here with 9 others - actually the crowd is ok. Well down on Usual but not too bad - all these Tv delays are annoying tho!

light rain south of Ipswich right now - should stop in the next hr its says - but for fecks sakes how many times has it done this in the 2024 season!

Its dry and windy now so I suspect it will be provided no more rain (which isnt forecast) I plan to go anyway as for me live speedway trumps TV speedway anytime!

He is and its far too early to say he's done well, been a success or failure.

I suspect in another say 10-20 years speedway will still being going but it will be at places like Scunthorpe, Redcar Workington, BV where they have purpose built tracks on land owned by the club but not likely to be under threat of development. The racing should be good if nothing else!

Weather may well get this one - grim so far but rain supposed to stop soon and be windy for the rest of the day

why do you even respond to this!

As usual (a bit like with Politics, Business etc) everyone is very good at diagnosing problems, not so good at fixes! Over the years I have heard many fine speeches in various walks of life, often the people sod off the minute they had finished speaking never to be seen or heard again! If anyone thinks PM can solve these issues inside 2 seasons they are either very optimistic or perhaps (harshly) somewhat deluded! The ones i often find the most hilarious are those who claim to have long ago claimed to care about speedway yet still come on here to moan about it. Me - I just try and enjoy the racing - which in most meetings you get a few races you can say you know what I enjoyed that!

Having decided not to go to the 2nd leg of the cup (which i perhaps regret now) I do intend to go to this, Home leg will be close i think, but expecting a Tigers v Lions final
