Best of 3, we'd still probably lose

Hopefully you can get on with them next year so the playoffs can happen quicker, eh?

https://britishspeedway.co.uk/championship/cjl-final-next-spring/ Next season then as an inter league challenge. Except it won’t be as Poole will have to “strengthen” or Leicester “weaken” for it to work, so once again British Speedwsy manage to pull a turd out of the hat and not a rabbit.

It took until November on someone else’s track but OK.

How many times have we said that at the end of a season! Wish I had any confidence it will happen.

Well certainly the best around Saddlebow...

Still think the Lions would have won at home even if not overall on the night.

Well it would be, you had a home leg we didn't! Last time in the KOC SF Thompsons got 10, tonight it's 2.

No, I mean we won all our home matches and a good few away, including Poole. No way would we be behind at BP on the basis of this season even if we didn't win overall.

No home advantage taking it’s toll. No way would Dan Thompson have two ducks at BP.

Don't worry, when Poole eventually win I'm sure the Poole fans will be on here doing their best Bjørge Lillelien saying that Leicester took one hell of a beating and how the odds were stacked against them.

I suppose the question is how bad must BP be if it's being switched away. Given the sainted Buster is meant to have worked his magic and it's still not right. Is it just the rain we've had since or is it the track surface itself still?

I'm especially frustrated that they aren't laying free coaches on or something. I mean given the money a lot of us have splashed out this year (in times of increasing financial uncertainty) I'm certainly not willing to use my own petrol to get somewhere nearly 2 hours away when it's meant to be at HOME. I'd be willing to go as well but not effort on the part of the club or the BSPA to help on what will be a very long day for most fans.

I'm not sure the Poole half of the forum see it that way

Just give Poole the bloody trophy. What's the point? Disgraceful set of affairs.

Don't worry, you'll be rid of us soon and then you can win everything again as that's all Poole care about anyway, right?

Pouring in Leicester now. Any Poole track experts any bright ideas how we could have avoided this then?!

It’s done nothing but chuck it down for days on end, it’s October. What should they have done?

I always find it ironic that one off world finals were binned and the winner of the title decided over a season for consistency. In the league the most consistent team could end up not winning the league. Only Speedway.

Or just crown Leicester champions as we've been top of the league all year anyway so we've earnt it. I mean if it hadn't been waiting for Poole to get the first leg done we'd have been finished by now right? Maybe we should have insisted you ran your meeting elsewhere?

Yes, I'm sure if we can't get Saturday on some will bang on about how they should win as they (eventually) managed to get their leg on. Poole must be nailed on favourites if we can't get our track to dry out as they are used to gate and go at Wimborne Road after all.

Hopefully we can fire a few broadsides and send the pesky Pirates to Davy Jones’s Locker on Saturday.

Definitely agree with this. In fact I’d take an exciting team over hard experience, I think this season in the championship has been so lacking of real excitement, apart from Poole it’s almost been a foregone conclusion (results wise, racing has been excellent at times and good generally).

As a number 4 it’d be a good punt but not as a heat leader I don’t think. I always wanted him at Leicester but I don’t think he’d be consistent enough for heat leader starting off. I mean if it is true hopefully I’ll be completely wrong!

I’m on holiday in Cheshire and it’s been bloody awful all day up here bar a few hours this morning. Perils of leaving it so late.
