Superb meeting i really enjoyed that, great effort by Sheffield i was predicting an easy home win so full credit to them, it would have been interesting to see Morris back at Leicester. Congratulations to the Lions dug in and got over the line, still unsure about Becker v R/R though, Good luck Leicester in the final i hope you win it.
If reports he got booed at Sheffield are correct think he wont need much firing up 😉 Sheffield are capable of springing a good result away as we have seen this season a couple of times, But with Fricke who has been brilliant this season, Masters and Douglas also going well its a difficult task, Hopefully Becker picks up his form for the Lions, that was my one doubt with the Lions as R/R worked so well. Having said all that im going for a comfortable home win.
I always thought Becker coming back could could affect Lions as R/R had worked so well for them be interesting over the two meetings to see if thats the case.
UK clubs are not the priority for riders nowadays, sad but true remember the passion at the Belle Vue v Leicester meeting at Hyde road when you beat us and heat 13 was abandoned and Lions getting a police escort out of the stadium? That was real rider passion for their respective clubs. Think it was in 1971 not sure.
Have to say well done Ipswich, were the better team anyway and would have knocked us out whatever the track conditions, hopefully the weather plays ball for the next semi final and final.
If he was going for his first world title Saturday he wouldnt be risking his neck flying round, actually his Polish bosses wouldnt want him riding on this track in these conditions so would probably stop him anyway.
