W9 Lion

I will be surprised if he is not in the Championship and I would think a return to Scunny would be his favoured option.

Indeed it was a very fine ride.

Club have just announced on twitter that Andersen, Douglas & Kennedy are not returning for 2022.

Can we jujst deal with the important question - who is inside the Lenny costume? I've heard its Norrie Allen.

Why would any TM win the toss holding a ten point advantage take gate choices in heat 15, incredible call. Had to be 1 n 3 all night long. But then again when Cami has been in charge they have only won the pairs if my memory serves correctly. As the Big Man himself would say FTT!

At present its 75mm with nothing about the riders lining up in a straight line to the kerb

It gets my vote but only works if the Start Marshal gets all riders to start within 75mm of the tapes. This makes it much harder for a rider to roll but I think most SM's are more interested in being a riders mate rather than discharging their responsibility.

One obvious way to reduced the level of unsatisfactory starts would be for the majority of start marshals to grow a pair and get riders (home and away) to start within 75mm of the tapes. Its much harder for them to roll if they are closer to the tapes.

Average to high, not allowed as in a play off team & average to high.

I agree which is why I've boned up on Golden Heats in the rule book.

You do get one providing its supported with a Doctors certificate.

Yes

I fear many Lions fans may be thinking they are through. I think it will be tough and have spent time boning up on the Golden Heat rules just incase they are needed.

Well I was told last night that Rory wont be at Leicester on Saturday as its "his party" on Monday night.

I dont think you can say Nick Morris was going through the motions last night the way he was attacking the track.

Lambert was still keen to carry on.

Potentially two good meetings, between two good sides. Think (And hope) it will be closer than on previous visits this season.

Not the case I was there when the CofC told the Ref about the change in rider line up. The change was made by the Scunny TM not the ref.

Was in the pits that day. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere. The riders were put in an impossible position.

The Capacity of Belle Vue is only 3500-4000 so allowing that everyone who goes to BV goes to the SON say 1500 then its about 2,000 split between the other tracks so the main issue in my opinion is that TV will have a greater impact than it being in the UK.

And here was me thinking it was just to do with paying Guarantees to certain riders. That only works if you have large enough crowds to afford it and expect your team to thump the other teams home and away.

Quite, but I guess the club at least have experience of running against SGP's to base their business plan on. Its a case of not being able to please all of the fans all of the time.

Appologies Ian I was thinking that you were suggesting Scunny for a Friday night. I'm guessing they do not want to have a major fixture on an untried night of the week.

But there is not a Friday before Poole who have limited access to their track want/need to stage the home leg of the Semi Final.
