Everyone at Leicester has a soft spot for the twins (having seen them start out as mascots), but getting axed, however unfair it may seem, is unfortunately part and parcel of the sport. The sooner they learn to accept it the better. In view of the lack of opportunities out there, they may have to learn to be tight lipped.

Haven’t seen the Facebook posts but the situation appears to be a little awkward all round. It was obviously Dickson’s decision to drop Dan (he’s a winner and therefore ruthless). Dan will now need to get his head down in the Championship (more his level) with his new club Birmingham. Brum of course have just appointed a new manager…….. a certain Mr Stewart Dickson.

Pairing King with reserves would soon get you in to a position to use a T/S!

So you'd pair up a rider having a dip in form with a reserve in three of his rides?

Eh? It would appear you misunderstood my post.

Good for you mate. Was the parrot sh*t on his shoulder the giveaway?

Not so sure about your mascot suggestion. I was at Peterborough too and at the interval I overheard their mascots having a big argument about leaving the toilet seat up.

Fair enough, But I think that your reference LGBLTs may be slightly wrong. It is however a great acronym for my favourite lightly garnished bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich.

Didn’t win because we didn’t have a particular guest?…Oh dear….Lucky to still be able to get a facility for the guy!

Wow! And my other half accuses me of collecting useless stuff! The original outline proposals for BP included an enclosed multi use main stand that could be used by the community during the week as an additional income stream……….Is this tucked away in your garage by chance?

On the subject of first bend tangles, I seem to recall back in the seventies that there was a simple marker post on the centre green about 20m from the start line. (They had it at Leicester so I assume it was at all tracks). The idea/rule was that riders were not supposed to move out of their theoretical starting lane before that marker point. I'm not sure how well it was implemented (referee's discretion I suppose), but I do not recall anywhere near as many re-starts from first bend incidents. Also, the red light went on for a race to be stopped, the race never re-started without someone being excluded. Are my recollections correct?

Tonight was my first visit to the Showground and I thought that the racing was top notch. That was because I saw all riders having a real go and Bagpuss is right, the outcome was down to that little bit of quality on top of effort. Criticism of the Panthers’ riders is a little harsh. It was a little sad driving back to Leicester knowing that was likely to be my only visit to this track. Now that I’ve seen the place, I’m more frustrated than ever to see yet another(…..yawn….) great track disappear into the history books.

Just cover the straights and leave the bends. If the dogs can build up enough speed on the straights they could be trained to lean and slide the bends (they’re clever creatures you know)…….I’ll get my coat.

Morris is already reviewing his set up for his next Foxhall visit. Putting glue on his a*se will be the first priority!

In response to someone posting something irrelevant to this thread and with no apparent sense of humour…………Yes.

Only followed the updates, but it seems that the Lions can hold their heads up tonight. Fewer last places than Ipswich, but when scores are tight, they will almost always outscore the opposition (home or away) in heats 13 to 15. R/R yielded 9 points, so can’t really use that as an excuse for Lawson’s absence. At the start of the season the gaffer said that Sedgmen and Allen would be jockeying for a reserve berth. The way Justin ‘Sedgsation’ (cheesy I know, but tabloid journalists make a living conjuring up such crap) is going, he’s more likely to be troubling the third heat leader slot.

Sorry mate, this is neither a Panthers or Samaritan’s thread, but stay away from bridges and railway lines anyway. Congratulations on the Panthers result the other night although some betting investigations have raised concerns as there is apparently reasonable evidence that some Peterborough riders were deliberately winning races.

Loved seeing the Lions all click tonight and with my Speedway neutral hat on, it was wonderful to see two teams with their declared 1 to 7 on track, which let’s face it is like rocking horse sh*t these days. I’ll stick my neck out and predict that there will be no more than a dozen meetings like this for the remainder of the season.

That's a bit unfair, they'd more than hold their own in the NDL.

Yeah, get rid of the team manager. Those young kids (Andersen & Iversen) need all the encouragement they can get don’t they to gain confidence for this level of racing? Are you serious? Seasoned professionals should be self motivated if their earnings are performance related. Score more points, earn more money, why does the team manager need to hug the old farts you refer to?

Damn right they are fuming……. They’d offered February 30th and told the UK they should be grateful.

Can’t answer your question but hats off to you for appearing to have maintained interested in this joke of a competition.

……Unless you have two world class big guns……Ask C.Louis

This is what happens when your No.1 does his job. I’ve been quite critical of Max, but hats off to him tonight, he really seemed up for it. Onwards and upwards. Loving watching Sedgmen at the moment, goodness knows what he has to do get an outing in heat 15!

Can confirm that there is a rumour, you’ve started it.
