Is anyone really shocked that Leicester lost tonight or any other night. Their number 1 is a rider who has shown potential but best is only 3rd heatleader. The other heatleaders are nothing more than average 2nd strings in the Elite League. The 2nd strings are a young Pole who is still finding his feet, and one of the most inconsistent rider in not only the Elite League but the Premier League as well. The reserves are their only saving grace, one of which I can see taking over the number 1 role the same rider is 15th in the Premier League averages. Whoever put the Leicester team together must have been delusional to think that the team would have be occasionally competitive in the Elite League, the team are light years away from anything like that. The team at Leicester needs major surgery, and it needs it sooner rather than later. But you have to question whether or not Leicester should be riding in the Elite League, the current Promotion insist on running on a Saturday night and it has been proven that tracks that run on a Saturday struggle to attract the standard of rider for the Elite League, Eastbourne are classic example of that. The worrying thing is if team continues to keep losing especially at home then how long will the fans still come andd give their hard earned cash to see a losing side.

Surprised that Ipswich have not gone with a Guest for Kerr, I think that it will level the teams out. It could come down to the reserves from both teams, certainly think if my Tigers ride to their own capabilities we can get some sort of result from this meeting.

That is a matter of opinion, I always prefer my own riders to Guest riders, but Ricky will be a decent enough replacement for Jason.

Not realised that there had been a rule change for Guest riders for riders riding in the Elite League. Ricky Wells is about as good as we could get for Jason Garrity. Hopefully we will have Simon Stead back from injury. Peterborough have a decent side and will give us a tough time, but I think that we will have too much for them and I will take us to win but it will be tight.

Not sure we can have a Guest rider I thought that we would have to go with Rider Replacement.

Best Wishes to all at Plymouth lets hope that the problems can be fully resolved.

Early day yet and anything can happen, but teams who billed as a solid 1 to 5 should be able to cover Rider Replacement for their number 1 if they so chose to do so.

Spices things up a little bit.

Feel for the fans of Plymouth and the riders. The Promoter should hang their head in shame, they must have known that they were in so much trouble why did not warn people I have not seen anything to say that they have had any financial difficulties. They will have sold season tickets to fans and what about the fans and Promoters at other clubs, they have sold and bought season tickets on the understanding that there would have been 12 league fixtures. Are they going to refund money to the clubs and their fans?

I will have a beg of pegs and some of that lucky heather if you have gotten any.

Cut and paste skills not at my best tonight.

Strange sport speedway. Yesterday at Scunthorpe in Premier League Cup. Auty rode at number 1 for Scunthorpe Klindt rode at number 2 for Scunthorpe Today at Leicester in a Challenge match Auty rode at number 1 for Leicester Klindt rode at number 2 for Leicester

Making the journey myself, and should be the time I will have seen a full meeting at Leicester without having to leave early to get the train home. Again hoping to see a decent performance from the boys not expecting a win, but as long as the boys are competitive I will be happy.

Lovely lad Paco, but at this moment he just not ready and the way the league is structured at the moment things are not going to get any better. The clue I guess was how easily Sheffield let Ipswich take Paco and it was not just a loan deal they sold him. Good win for Scunthorpe will be interesting to see how the group unfolds and how they fare against different opposition. For Ipswich I don't think they need to press the panic button just yet James Sarjeant will have faf better nights, but they may need to keep a close look at the reserves which is going to be a weak spot in the team.

only thing I can see to go on is that both Josh and Simon racing and passing and re passing and Josh picked up some unexpected grip crashed taking Simon with him unfortunately. ( taken from the live update page) Got agree with on Josh.

Only a Challenge match I would imagine that both clubs will come to some sort of arrangement.

I don't think that he progressed as much as some thought he would last season, but I think that Kyle has changed a few things for the start of this season. Obviously he has changed his Premier League team, I do think that he stayed at Workington a season or two longer than he should have. He also has a new Elite League team after flitting between three teams Poole, Coventry and Swindon and moved onto Wolverhampton and for the first time he has taken his place in the draft system something most riders of his age and ability has done for the last two seasons. This should see him picking up more points with the easier rides and winning races and decent points scored should see his confidence grow, something appeared to missed last season especially when Swindon dropped him.

Got to agree, I think that he will be a quality signing.

He could not have been that bad. Start of the 2015 season Kyle start as the third heatleader. By late June he was the Workington number 1.

Got the feeling that Eric was brought back to ease Marc Bates into the role. Eric will be Manager for home meetings with Marc assisting, and Marc will take charge for away meetings. Jack Lee has been given the job of sourcing riders for second half rides, which could be all tied in with what the Promotion said about future plans at the end of season do which was to re-open the training track with the view to finding rider to run a National League team in the near future.

Return of Booey, don't know much about Marc. Have to agree about Jack and would have preferred to see him come back. Lets see what the new Management team can do.

(1) Poole (2) Coventry (3) Wolves (4) Belle Vue (5) Kings Lynn (6) Swindon (7) Lakeside (8) Leicester Cannot see past Poole for the top. Ditto for Leicester for the bottom of the league. Belle Vue to scrap through to the Play Offs, due to the new track. Wolves to be the surprise package.

1 Glasgow 2 Plymouth 3 Peterborough 4 Sheffield 5 Workington 6 Newcastle 7 Ipswich 8 Edinburgh 9 Berwick 10 Scunthorpe 11 Somerset 12 Rye House 13 Redcar

I fully expect Andre Compton to fill in at Workington, if Andre does well enough then Ty could find himself having problems getting his place back.
