Fair play, I agree Leicester's burgers are good. I would recommend the double cheeseburger with onions.

From personal experience...I'd recommend the Stamford Arms in Groby.

With 2 teams qualifying from the same group (Oxford and Poole) I would have thought it basic common sense to ensure these 2 teams did not meet again in the semi-finals. Why am I not surprised this was not done...

I'll never be a fan of the superheat. But if team managers had to choose 2 riders who hadn't ridden in heat 15, there would at least be some extra interest in that. Under the current format, heat 15 is often a re-run of heat 13, and the superheat is often a re-run of heat 15. Fans of speedway teams love their lesser-talented riders as much as their big-hitters. I would love to see some of the so-called 'second strings' take a bit of glory in a deciding race - however silly the superheat may be.

I think the Oxford management are well aware the Spires team is weak. A big name was expected to sign in the winter, but didn't. What options are available to them now? Even if they are willing to splash a bit of cash, who is available now that would make a significant difference?

A 'solution' to a problem that doesn't exist!

Around 7pm - about half an hour before the start.

Peter Schroeck has said this evening that Peter Kildemand is unlikely to be riding for Oxford tomorrow night.

Wouldn't Oxford get the extra 5% as the home team, making 6.30 available for a guest?

Why is he not eligible?

Surprised Oxford didn't ask Chris Harris to guest for Kildemand (perhaps they did)

It would appear a big-name rider who had indicated he would come to Oxford had a change of mind. We don't know who or why. If Oxford deserve any credit, it's for maintaining a 'dignified' silence over the identity of said rider.

For several weeks now, Oxford have made no public comment whatsoever on this subject.

I'm not a Leicester fan, but I just wanted to say a big well done to you guys for running 2 teams at ND level. Such a refreshing attitude...as compared to that of an ar**hole club like Poole.

Unbelievable. It's like trying to argue a point with a lump of wood. Do you really not understand the issue? Poole do not want to contribute to the cost of NDL racing, but want to be able to pick riders out of the NDL whenever it suits them. It's blatant hypocrisy.
