Well if Bangs isn’t returning then the Captain isn’t aware of it. There was a big piece in this weeks Star about Bangs’ return against Northampton next week and King tipping him to find form on his second visit to tracks.

You sure he was going to be riding this evening?

I second this. Hope you’re ok Phil.

6 broom sweepers, 5 male and one female. Each with the objective of brushing the standing water to the kerb and ultimately in to the drain. One decided to brush the opposite direction to the others and brush the standing water out all over the track. Guess which one it was?

You really are an insufferable prick 🙄

Big meeting on track. No idea of outcome?

Pi$$ing down. Track already looks deep and wet..

If it survives then conditions will be tricky that’s for sure! Still no word of a call off from official channels and it’s actually brightening up in town centre so who knows

“blue”?? They look black, grey and thundery to me but hey I ain’t a weatherman 😂

Well they’re talking nonsense. Nowhere near enough rain to call it off! BUT, the radar isn’t great on a couple of models from 5 onwards. Let’s hope they’re wrong.

Fair cop guv! Still, bit premature isn’t it? With all the tech nowadays you’d think weather forecasts would get more accurate, but they’ve actually got worse! They change hourly and I always think it’s better to wait until the morning of a meeting when you get a more accurate forecast for the day. BUT, I don’t live in Leicester and you’ve already said it’s rained heavily today. Maybe the damage has already been done I don’t know.

Just as well you’re racing tomorrow then not today 😉

Good choice from Lynn bringing Joe in around Leicester.

That never happens in speedway. Everything they are doing they follow through on. From the start of the year to now, there have been big improvements. It will keep getting better, especially for the fans.”

Well let’s be honest Mike he should be really or at least a paid max. He’s different gravy to anyone in the Ipswich team.

Weather looks iffy tomorrow. One to keep an eye on.

That’s exactly what he said last year on TNT when Abi was throwing viewers questions at him. He went on to say that’s why he hasn’t tried to add to his seven British titles because it was at the NSS. On a smaller track he’d have given it another bash.

And he also rode in 2010, the first season after the initial changes. Regardless, it’s a size and shape you’d hope he’d still do relatively well on. He admits himself he no longer has the pace for the bigger tracks, so if he can’t score relatively well around Foxhall then it’s time to call it a day.

Almost certainly won’t be a thumping like recent years for obvious reasons. The three wins at home so far have been by 10, 4, and 10 again. We’ll win the majority of home meetings this year, but not by huge margins. 48-42 for me.

Nicholls seems to have got things together in the Championship, now need to start seeing some of that translate on a track he knows better than anyone.

Who knows Taps but he has his big chance to impress here. If he does well, that will certainly give them something to think about. Might need to be quick though because he’s already catching the eye.

Think most of those would be open to offers, but more likely later in the season. It’s a tad early as they’ve all committed to leagues and fixtures elsewhere, but those fixtures dry up earlier than ours here so it may have to be a waiting game for a few more options to materialise.

Klima the guest at reserve. Interesting choice.

That maybe the case, but his average would 100% be his current Championship average converted. That’s his current and up to date average from this season. An average from last year whether that’s an official Premiership average or not, would not be used.
