He's no Peter Schroeck 😂

Surely DJ Woffy will be back in and a serious reserve and that team doesn't look so bad.

I think the lass on BSN is a very natural presenter... and with a good knowledge of speedway, I'd rather see her... she should send an audition tape off.

This new woman is useless... she's not asked a single rider if they're going to make any changes 😂

I'd rather have Chris Louis back 👍🏻

There's a gulf in class between SGP2 and SGP, he wasn't even in the challenge last year

Parnitskyi showing he should be nowhere near the SGP series!

At least the chase drone has been sacked off 👍🏻

Surely it matters for the lads confidence though, Bewley and/or Lambert have more than enough experience to have won races from that position.

With implants 🍐🍐

What has happened to Kvech? Started the season really poorly!

Flint really has been given the short straw coming out after every track flood!

Ref appears to be watching a different meeting!

At lest they're out there this year, for many GP's last year they were commentating from London I believe.

It's on Australian Fox sports if anybody can get that 🇦🇺

Nice track Phil 🚜💦 😂

Just tried casting from my Samsung phone to my Samsung TV on the same wireless network and it was a no go for me... the cast icon just does not appear when I start the video from my phones BSN website app. 👎🏻 ... tried the YouTube app and it did allow me to cast ... then tried logging in to BSN using the Google Chrome browser app on my phone, bingo the cast icon appeared! Tried to cast to my TV and it just wouldn't do it 🤷‍♂️ Bingo! (again) I switched from the mobile site version in chrome to the desktop site and it worked! All a bit of a ball ache but at least it's now casting 👍🏻

I did... must have had dust in my eyes 😂

Thanks, that's good to know for next time, I was approaching the exit from turns 1 and 2... and it was a bit like trying to leave a concert.

Thoughts on last night... Had to queue to get into the car park, but I think I arrived just at the time when the main car park became full and they had to open the mahoosive overflow car park. Gaining entry to the stadium was a bit of a shambles, after watching the video earlier in the afternoon where it said the e-ticket gates were situated on the left side of the turnstiles, when I approached all punters were being funnelled in through the same cordoned area, a lot were just ignoring this and just heading to the e-ticket gate and nipping under the rope, which I also did (shame on me) but because everybody was being funneled in the same way there was actually nobody using the credit card turnstile and there were another 2 cash turnstiles open to the left of the e-ticket gate, again with nobody queuing! Teething troubles I know but a bit of forethought could have been used. It took an age to get through with my e-ticket as well, not sure if there was a problem with the system as nobody seemed to be gaining entry for around 5 minutes. Surprised to see the grandstand actually on the back straight when I entered. I then had the decision of where to stand, it was a choice between backstraight/turn 2 with a very bright sun shining directly in my eyes or turn 1, 3 or home straight. I plumped for the home straight but it was difficult to see with the perimeter catch fencing in place, especially with the sun shining on it, this ceased to be an issue when the sun set and the excellent lights took effect. Early on gate 4 seemed to be a huge advantage but the track does show promise, as I've said earlier when it's prepared better, it was far too dry and looked a bit choppy in places, there weren't really any (successful) big blasts around the outside but some good tussles with riders easing their opponents off the line on the inside coming out of the bends. It reminded me a lot of King's Lynn with the stand, the grey fencing, the concrete infield and Buster milling about. There did seem to be a lack of sponsorship, the team, as far as I am aware are not sponsored and there were no sponsor signs on any of the fence panels, even the league sponsorship banners were non-existent. Presentation was a bit subdued, Dave Rowe in the box and Craig Saul on the roving mic, they're both good at what they do in their own style but there was no real hype going on, no come on get behind your team, no real hyping of the riders, just the usual reading out of the heat runners and a few interviews all interspersed with music from the 80's and 90's... all very Speedway 😁 Getting out wasn't as smooth as it should have been either as we seemed to have to exit the same way we got in through the turnstiles, all of which weren't open, there didn't seem to be a big gate to let punters out and by the smell of the bogs just in front of the turnstiles, they were struggling to deal with the crowd as well 💩👃. I thought stadia had to have proper exit routes in case of the need for evacuation 🤷‍♂️ Then getting out of the car park took a while, which was to be expected with a large crowd but they did have some folk marshaling the traffic, so it wasn't quite a free for all. That's the trouble when everybody leaves at the same time though, if more tracks did what Leicester do and interview the riders in turn after every match it gives the chance for those that want to leave straight away to do so, while others not so much in a rush are still engaged, especially important I would have thought with a new team that should be trying to build a bond with their new fanbase. Didn't see the Premiership CEO in attendance or the Chairman of the BSPL, not to say they weren't there, I just didn't see them. All in all it was an entertaining evening and once the small teething issues have been addressed it should sit very nicely alongside the other clubs in the PL. I'll certainly be returning whenever the Lions aren't riding as it's a pretty easy 1 hour trip down the motorway for me 👍

Thanks, I'll look into this, currently cast is not a selectable option for me when I try and watch a video, this maybe because my TV is on a wired network and my phone is on wireless. I'll try enabling wifi and see if that makes the option appear 👍

Klindt needs to be moved from number 5 to 3 in the long run as he's as likely to score 2 as he is to score 20... when he's on 2 form there's not much cover when riding with a reserve.

Decent

It will when prepared properly, it's far too slick tonight but there's been some decent stuff never the less. There's no "trick" bends, it's a perfect size and a pretty good shape with proper speedway shale too.
