He is doing the u24 thing?

Really? I thought it was only 1st lap 1st bend!

Well they obviously didn't get him if he went to Glasgow That's not really my issue.I'll let you and Steve battle it out to decide who is the biggest club! The point I was making is a Leicester fan saying Basso isn't at Poole cos they didn't want him in the team, which as I've shown in a newspaper article is not correct and I haven't seen Basso himself dispute it when he was interviewed in the SS soon after it was made public.

Taken from the Bournemouth Echo during the winter. 'Basso controversially joined the Tigers over the winter, despite Pirates admitting they wanted him in their line-up for 2022. ' Asked about missing out on the 20-year-old’s signature for next season, Ford told the Daily Echo: “It’s quite a sore subject to be honest and I am still quite bitter about it. “It did hurt on a personal level as well. “We kind of already agreed that Benjamin was going to come back for this season, when we initially did the deal. “When he said he wouldn’t be returning, it was a surprise. We were hugely disappointed because we had seen what a fantastic prospect he is. “And it’s not just that – he’s a proper showman, of which there are few and far between in speedway these days. “It’s a massive loss to be honest. He was in our plans for this season “That’s changed our plans a little bit but we have worked around it and are happy with what we are putting together.' But of course Poole never wanted him did they! See I told you, he wanted to leave.

Let him go?? That's hilarious. He decided to go!! What we supposed to do? Handcuff him to the track! lol

Prob talking about wages lol

Others have said it is to with money as well, but IDK if it was that or not.

That's BS. Poole definitely wanted him lol. He was in talks with Glasgow in first leg of last years play off final apparently.

Wow, that was unexpected!

Cook in H10 or Basso in 11?

Ah, so that's where our bumps went! No returns, thanks!

Crazy! Surely someone has to get excluded for it.

There is been a couple of times score has been corrected 5 secs later.

This meeting could get even more interesting considering who the ref is!

I missed that! Although I do watch on my phone and multi tasking during races. Lol. Glad to see heat results are there even though I completely missed them! *I need a facepalm emoji* lol

Just be aware that they don't show the race result on screen just progressive scores (unless they are going to change that on Weds!). Although whoever is commentating( normally Scott Mitchell) will still say it and sometimes you can hear Nij announcing it in the background!

Surely aim is just to get top 6 then whole different ball game (not literally ). And then it is whoever has the best form and the least amount of injuries in the playoffs.

And I even waited til after I finished work as I was sure someone would have started it by then! I even checked on the Leicester twitter page that it was definitely happening today! lol

Nothing could be done about Basso when he didn't want to come back. But I think it would have been Hume or one of the Cook brothers. I think we have prob got it right as much as I like Hume he was a bit up and down last season and with us being top heavy, there would have been a lot of pressure on him to score 6 ish a meeting. It might mean Glasgow get league points at Poole, but I'm fine with the risk. Anyway back to Leicester!!!

I'll go for 55-35 in case Stef has 7 rides!

Surely he is a Champ rider now since we signed him? Sounds a bit harsh to just call him a CL rider. Chelsea fan too I think

Anyone bothered??!! Should be close ish. Leicester by 8. Lewis Kerr guests for Kyle Howarth

No one gonna get close at Glasgow though tbf

Are they streaming at all this year or have they given it up like Glasgow?
