I used to do meetings with my Whirly Wheelers then used the bikes on my home made cardboard track game which used a dice.

Wasn’t one that I remembered but it looks a well dodgy time of 60.97 in heat 5 against Ipswich in 2011. Next fastest that night was 61.62 in heat 1 and most of the others were 63’s & 64’s.

So it wasn’t all Hans Andersen’s fault this time then?

Do you mean Jan Graversen?

As much I have enjoyed watching them progress over the last few years, I think in order to continue their development they need to spend a season riding a different track to Leicester week in and week out, ideally a Belle Vue, Scunny or Redcar type circuit.

Lions gated on a 5-1 but Morris stuffed Howarth on the 2nd bend to let both pirates through up the inside, Morris then binned it on bend 4. In the rerun King gated and Howarth only passed him right on the line, tbh I thought King had just held on.

Spot on

Round 1 to Poole Round 2 to Leicester

They did and I’d say Howarth by a tyre width.

Vinnie going for a full house in exclusion bingo.

You can knock off another 2 as you have Lewis Kerr twice & Ryan Douglas also rides in Poland.

Rhys Naylor looked neat & tidy until his fall in the semi final.

One of the most bizarre races I’ve seen. Even Jason Edwards tried to get in on the act with a 360 coming off the 2nd bend when miles in front. I am not sure that 1 camera could have covered everything that was going on though.

He won’t sweat enough in it lol

Start Marshal is James from Leicester and they have around 12 in total working this weekend.

Madsen to just ride through the tapes lol

Thanks

Has anyone seen any info regarding parking? We have previously booked parking at City Hall?

And a couple of Chris Sully falls whilst riding for Oxford, not so much a collectors item lol

Correct 1980, drew 39-39 away and won the replay at home 47-31.

Said exactly the same thing.

As a side note what about the crazy 56.60 time announced for heat 7, 4 seconds slower than most of the rest, I don’t think so. My take as a neutral, heat 1 superb at the 3rd time of asking was the high point as it soon became clear there were major problems with bends 3 & 4 with riders being catapulted in various directions on a regular basis and then there was the dust issues later on too. Fair play to Mark Phillips for the apology. From my vantage point I couldn’t argue with any of the refs decisions but King did make the most of it in heat 3 and maybe Kerr was a bit unlucky. Overall Poole were comfortably the better team and deserved their win.

Richie Worrall spotted the Lions sticker on my car and we had a nice little chat in the traffic queue coming off the A38 roundabout.

I will be on holiday in Devon so am popping along to this for my first visit to Plymouth. I will have my Leicester programme board and a dog so come and say hello.

There’s some pictures on the speedway stadiums past and present Facebook group.
