Should be Interesting this one. Redcar will arrive with 3 track specialist heat leaders.

Leicester have brought in Rory Schlein as their number 8 for this fixture. He is going to take one each of 4 rider's rides.

Will Ipswich be bringing their full strength team?

Who got injured last night?

Jason Doyle has said that his season with Somerset was great but that he found his travel from Norwich to Somerset each week was somewhat long and tiring. Isn't Norwich to Swindon also a bit of a trek?

How is the new track project coming along? Will it be ready in time?

Thank you. I missed that.

Now that Season Ticket Holders have already lost a match by Workington withdrawing perhaps the challenge match against Ipswich will be used instead.

It could have been a financial decision. It might have been the cost of employing the whole team that was the issue and someone had to go.

Just been announced that the Cubs will ride on Saturdays whenever the Lions do not.

Dale Allitt says that only Jason Doyle averaged more that Robert Lambert in 2018. This is I think is based on their finishing GSAs but If you just use their actual 2018 results, including bonus points, I think Robert comes out on top.

He's always with him.

If they use his Somerset 2018 average x 1.5 he might come in on 6.88.

At last a discussion as to how the conversion from BPL to BCL might apply. Twice I have asked this question but to no avail. I hope they use factual 2018s BPL averages otherwise it defeats the object of their proposed intentions.

I have already posted on this matter asking if anyone knows if 2018 BPL averages apply or will existing BCL 2018 averages be used. Does anyone indeed know for sure which way it will go?

Do the BPL riders already doubling down to the BCL retain their 2018 average for 2019 or do they now have to use their 2018 BPL average multiplied by 1.5?

Leicester have dropped down to the Championship.

Another factor in achieving higher averages than today was that riders and or team managers were allowed to select their own riders starting positions. The better riders naturally selected what they thought were the best gates. Now of course every rider has to go off each of the gates without choice.

My sole purpose in buying a season ticket is so that my money is made available to the club in advance of the season commencing and help to provide funds with which the owners can begin their planning. If I could I would do more to help but unfortunately it is not possible. A small loss is anticipated due to illness and holidays but to me this is not a problem.

My top 20 riders on current form at the end of 2018 includes riders who were unable yo complete the season due to injuries.

I should just like to congratulate Roger Webster on winning The Leicester Lions 2018 Speedway Fantasy League Competition.

Exactly

Some teams in both leagues may not continue next season so wouldn't it be better to join the rest into just the one league and create the variety you desire.
