40-38

Who else is out there? Can't really think of an improvement.

Get in Lions! Great 4 points for Joe Thompson tonight.

Good team riding from Sam Masters there, especially when the line to be on is so wide.

Same again in heat 4, looked quite quick off the start in both heats

Lawson at no.2 for Leicester will hopefully be an improvement over the R/R scores at BP on Monday. Suspect that Sheffield will be too strong for Leicester overall, guessing 52-38.

Sheffield: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Josh Pickering, Lewis Kerr, Chris Holder, Justin Sedgmen, Leon Flint. Leicester: Max Fricke, Richard Lawson, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson. Live on BSN tapes up 7:30pm.

Kemp had his worst meeting for a while but generally has been riding fairly well around BP, but we really are struggling at 7 with Joe Thompson.

I think Pickering was fine but surely you'd swap Kerr for Sedgman too. Kerr had been poor all night whereas at least Sedgman looked competitive.

Bizarre to leave Kerr in as well.

He started slowly off 15 and had to get past his team mate before he could really make any impression. I thought he'd blown it on the back straight before the final bend. The shout that went up from the crowd was a great thing to behold too.

Seems to be more material on as well over the last couple of meetings.

Stuck behind Masters for 2 laps as well.

Some good racing at Leicester tonight, Fricke from 15m in heat 10 was brilliant.

If we have to have a 6 team top league then surely the play offs need to be scrapped.

I can only speak for myself of course, but I would be happier with 5 man teams and one league. I've never really cared if the top stars are riding, it's not the names that make me watch speedway, it's the atmosphere, noise, chaos and racing. I don't care if it's Bartosz Zmarzlik and Brady Kurtz racing or Simon Lambert and Drew Kemp. You make your own stars of the riders you watch.

Howarth proving you can pass at Leicester if you're willing to attack the track.

Come on the Lions! Excellent performance.

BSN having a howler with the graphics tonight.

Back now.

Could be because Leicester are not a "lower order" team?

Its taken us until that last heat to look like we're not fighting to keep the bikes straight. Ipswich look very controlled and that's been the big difference.

What's his excuse against the rest then?! 😁
