FishersGate

After looking back and doing some research there certainly was a few dodgy decisions by the ref that went against both teams. The track was a weird one really, gate 4 was making it the heats to predictable which was a real shame but it was also refreshing not to see the tractor out every 3 heats. I think the score was a fair assessment of the both sides. I'm happy as like SD said, just win the meeting..and we did, so I went home happy.

So good to be back. Leicester should have won by more with a dodgy ref decision going against us and gate 4 proving too dominant. Either way happy with a win and great to see so many wolves fans in the den.

Tai has always been one of those riders that's like marmite. Love or hate. I didn't mind the swearing but I understand why some fans will dislike it. I respect anyone who doesn't pretend to be someone there not, having said that he does come across as abit of a knob sometimes. I'm no speedway rider but I'm am a performing musician which has some similarities to speedway. The amount of ass kissing I see in speedway winds me up rotten, just like what I see and hear in the music industry. ' You've got to say this instead of this and never offend anyone' which is a line I hear alot in my industry and its so degrading. Its refreshing to hear someone just say it how it is and not pretend to be someone else. Anyone that goes out there and says what he thinks rather than what they've been told to say always has my respect. When he was at Leicester last year he was ever so friendly to my dad and friends signing autographs. He didn't have to come out to the supporters for a chat, he did cause he wants to, which is what I like to see.

Interesting choice of rider line up by Lyon, good to see him mixing it up and I imagine Dickson will do the same through out the season.. Going for a home win by 10. Think Wojdylo will be the key for Lynn at reserve. He should get the better of Kemp and Thompson at this level although it make take him a race to get going. Having lawson and becker at 2 n 4 is the real difference maker. Probably the strongest in the league in those positions.

It's good but not as seriously as good as some other sides

True there alot of championship riders there but like you said, magic, Klindt and Tungate are new to Oxford. Will take time I think to get a real idea of how everything will shape up

I've seen and spoke to loads that are getting carried away. It's good there optimistic but it's too early to be thinking of not finishing bottom lol

I do think people are getting a little carried away with the brummies after one meeting. The track was wet, Oxford are also new to the league. And a few people have completely overrated Oxfords team.

In all fairness the track probably evened everything out plus oxford are brand new to the league. I didn't think it would be a thrashing but fair play to the legend himself Scotty Nichollls.

Really didn't work out did it

I think the club is wary of the backlash from last year's rain offs.

I definitely think leicester should consider it, but if it rains when the fans are just arriving, there isn't many areas of shelter.

Good decision I reckon.

Weather looks abit dodgy so I don't think we will finish the meeting but I've got my fingers crossed it goes ahead. If we finish then I'm going for a 50-40 win for the lions

According to the round the boards podcast apparently Birminghams side is better than leicesters, believe it or not! ' I'll have what there having ' ..

No idea they were even changing them so dont have a clue what they will look like!

I'm pretty sure this is bloke who was spouting off on Facebook regarding becoming a steward and didn't receive a response from the club (Jen). Its all on Facebook I think or was. In other more important news the Lions riding order has been revealed . Clearly Stewart thinks I am a genius and puts Douglas at 5 like I said he should!

Well whatever information you've got, as you said your not going to spill so our opinions of Jen aren't going to change. Everytime I've seen her she's been helpful and friendly to me and my dad , the mysterious posts from yourself aren't extactly going to helping anyone so I'd either just say what you really want to say or nothing at all..

Agree with all of that! I got sent a photo of the track a few weeks ago and it was a right mess, I'm sure it's been sorted now ! I'm hopeful we can see some racing on Thursday.

Variety the better for me. One league with as many clubs as possible. Reduce to 5 or 6 riders per team with the mandatory requirement of atleast one young brit at reserve. Get rid of the big name riders and let the clubs pick there own race night. Have a league system that whoever finishes top is the champions with the knockout cup having a play off system to make it more meaningful. Keep the national league running also allowing commonwealth riders to join the league. This should add more choice for clubs to pick a more balanced side along with more options for guests if injuries take hold on teams.

From what I've seen the shape is the same. It's more just digging it up and starting again so water doesn't sit on the inside line. Sam Masters said he couldn't get grip on it when he rode it and you could tell.

That's fine for you but I don't think many Poole, Belle Vue, Glasgow fans etc will be happy seeing there team lose every week. You should have seen how much the crowds dropped at leicester when we got battered every week..soon as we started winning again crowds slowly rised.

Looking great..just for peoples information the main track is just being re laid I think. The shape is the same but improving the surface so water doesn't sit on the top.

I was tempted and seems the obvious choice but Douglas average away is far better than masters. Heat 13 away from would be stronger. Masters at 14 is almost a trump card. But either way its strong

I think its much better side than last year. Its arguably weaker than most at reserve but the top 5 is one of the strongest in the league. Fricke should have another strong season and has the 3rd best average in the league. Douglas and masters are both brilliant at leicester. Douglas is a far better rider now since his last stint at the club. Masters should benefit from riding at.either 2,3,4 or even 5. Lawson is solid and will probably partner fricke at 2. Becker is the the wild card but have heard nothing but good stuff about him. Stewart also has a great advantage of the riding order. He could be unorthodox and change it up every few meetings. I'd personally go for this line up 1. Fricke 2. Lawson 3. Becker 4. Masters. 5. Douglas.
