Big crowd for sure and weather helped… but kings Lynn was the biggest gate this year on the bank holiday, tonight being a Thursday was a very healthy gate!

If we take all three points they could go 7 points clear, depending on Sheffield away performance at Oxford. It’ll leave Leicester with a match to play but 7 points with only 4 matches remaining and beating in mind we have Leicester and Sheffield home and away it would put us in a strong position to finish top surely. Also to add Belle Vue will only have 3 meetings left and one leg has already been a loss to Sheffield so if we win today with all three Belle Vue cannot catch us, until the semis or final at least 😂

100% won’t be anything else but 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd. Phil Morris knows it was a poor decision and said it wouldn’t happen again. What is interesting is the fact nobody really knows where each other will finish, and all face each other still. My money is on a late charge from Birmingham and they take it all 😁

My comment about probably throwing it away was focused on this years Cup semi final against Lynn, not the previous years.

People talking as if Leicester are the team to beat, they lost the first round to Ipswich and in round 2 of fixtures they are 18 points down so I’m confident we can do a job on them in play offs, Leicester needed Brennan to win the trophy as he rode so well for them but it just shows he can ride their track very well. It’s ours to lose, but this is us so we probably will throw it away!

Lidsey and Picko i remember how one race they were riding each other super hard inside outside and eventually Picko got it but at one point I thought they were coming off ! Good to watch though!

Last night was point and case of that! Nobody wanted to attack the air fence from Belle Vue, Holder alluded to the fact he doesn’t like heat 13 when he had stiff competition and has to ride as wide as possible. Can I just add I personally think Bewley is the most likeable Brit we have, he is very down to earth and just feels like a guy who wants to get on his bike and push the limits, I think he has more about him than Kurtz who does give up more than Bewley or opts to not get involved, people give him a pass because of fighting for the world title but for me, Bewley gives more to Belle Vue and British Speedway. When Doyle hangs up his Kevlars I’d love to see Bewley down here (I know it won’t happen).

That’s mad, a rider who signed for you officially at the start of the season, mapped his whole season for you and sorted travelling out and equipment plus mechanics etc isn’t allowed to come back when fit, there should be a break clause in the deal allowing him to return when required in my opinion.

Disappointed not to see Jenkins named. He will need meeting to get up to speed so are we not backing him or what?

GP line-up and venues for 2026

Yeah I know, I'd say Fricke and Lambert are flaky at the moment so that is entirely possible. -
I'm not that confident still with us, I think anyone in the top 4 can beat each other on any given night. It does make the racing more interesting than the Ekstraliga at the moment that's for sure! Tonight should be another close match.

I'd guess Lebedevs or Kubera might get Top 7 or SEC win which would automatically put Thomsen back in the Grand Prix due to his finishing position in GP Challenge -
Probably more figure of speech, Emil isnt the type to put anyone down and he knows Kurtz is super fast this season. Plus Doyle even said BK (Brady Kurtz not Burger King) is the fasted guy out there ATM after heat 15 BV vs Witches.
-
I’d bring Jenkins back ASAP and let him be part of the team, IMO it will only feel right to finish the league how we started it and as must as we win together we also lose together as a team.

Leicester Lions 2025
ShanoXtra replied to SuperStarsFan91's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Polish clubs always allow the riders to ride in Britain. The problem is the rider has pressure to perform and probably knows all his eggs are in the Polish basket, so for his own security of his future, he would choose to miss Britain so he is 100% for Poland. -
When I spoke to him outside of Foxhall a few weeks back he said he wants to be back in it but for now it’s just not his time, and when my partner laughed and said Zmarzlik needs someone to push him he replied “let him have this moment” (in polish with my partner) 😂
