I think its the better league, at least theres variety and the British final proved you dont need the top riders to provide good racing only two riders in that final were world class.

In the 60,s and 70,s there was a far more competetive edge to league meetings but there wasnt the situation where riders were team mates one night and opponents the next, i think that has taken away the intensity there used to be.

So we are supposed to enthuse about the meeting then?

Technical?

Kerr might as well be sat with me

Another terrible advert for the sport, tv is certainly doing speedway no favours if the powers that be think this type of exposure will see gates increase, sadly the sport has had its day in the UK.

Street parking other side of Hyde Road behind Aldi i always park on road behind the flats to the left of Aldi, never had a problem and a 5-6 minute walk

I think a Sheffield win around 50-40 but Leicester should have enough with an 18 point lead, If Sheffield get off to a strong start though who knows?

Thanks, I cant disagree with that fair comments, ive had comments from a few calling me a hater when ive said i dont think we can win the league being so weak at reserve, i just think its being realistic, best to ignore those comments.

So we are all tarred with the same brush?

Yes thats true but is it worse than having your confidence totally destroyed? A difficult one

Not overly great either at the NSS from the back but see your point.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Boughen walk away from the sport, confidence shot to pieces seems afraid to mix it in the first bends or when a rider gets close to him, could be a danger to himself and other riders

He can be a solid third heat leader but being beaten by edwards and castagna does leave question marks

So would i think you had to gamble on his gating ability in that one.

Dont tar us all with the same brush mate

Lidsey not great from the back at NSS either relies on gating

He would have been better just riding for Workington to ease himself back in after his injuries.

Comparing the ability of the teams to cover for injuries

Yes but i think Ellis, Brennan and King plus Jenkins at reserve trump Blodorn, Cook, Ziskche, and Mulford just think Ipswich have the better all round strength compared to us.

And this was why i decided not to waste petrol money and time

Cook is going to have to step up, think Ipswich will cope better tbh

Very difficult to run r/r for Brady and carry 2 reserves

Lets hope the GP crew dont get involved in track work at the NSS
