Having watched more or less every senior meeting at Leicester since its reopening I can't ever recall seeing a dive bomb into turn 3 ever being tried, let alone working, like I said turn 1 is for that move and you see it quite often, especially from Chris Harris

... having said that, on a positive note he has been the most successful Leicester manager ever, winning us the league & Shield in 2019 and the Cup this year, not only that but he has made Leicester a competitive force to be reckoned with after always being a Cinderella club with some terrible manager through the years. He does seem quite charismatic, speaks his mind and is generally quite upbeat, I do feel at times though that he has a CL mentality rather than a PL one especially when it comes to rider selection at the lower end, maybe he's been a bit too loyal to riders not performing (Cook & Hagon). He called the riders out last night for "playing" on their phones and it was interesting to hear that John McGuinness also made a similar comment when he was interviewed

You just don't make that dive bomb move at Leicester it never ever works on turn 3 (it can do on turn 1), it's not Sheffield, if you watch the coverage you'll see that every other rider backed off from making that same move during the meeting because it just does not work, everybody else knew this and just because it's a pay off final does not mean that all of a sudden it is going to work.

Not so sure about all this praise regarding Mr Dickson, he's dropped some clangers with Leicester in the PL, he binned Dan Thompson off, signed the likes of Craig Cook & Troy Batchelor had Nick Morris & Richie Worrall. Started this season off with Cook & Hagon when neither should have been anywhere near a Lions team place, has stuck by Drew Kemp & Joe Thompson for far too long... he does talk a good game though, I'll give him that!

14 to 3 at reserve!

Pure class from Emil... he's been mugging you Witches off all year 😂

Where has this Emil been all year? This is the 2023/24 Emil

Lions haven't been that bad, we're just operating with 6 riders and Emil has decided to bring his proper kit tonight and yes I know Ellis is out but that's much more coverable with DT

I thought as much as soon as we were celebrating winning the semi like it was the final!

It was at King's Lynn many years back, I think Andy Smith and John Jorgensen were involved

I've seen one awarded on the first turn of lap 1!

Leicester been riding with 1 reserve all year except for the few meetings we had Dan Gilkes

Was it though? He was never going to make that stick at Leicester! Hope he's fit for Thursday 👍🏻

Laughing at his kamikaze riding rather than any potential injury... but then I think you know that deep down 👍🏻

Ellis trying to ride far beyond his ability 😂

Wrong topic

But they were watering the track shortly before the start of the meeting 🤷‍♂️

Just can't recall seeing it

Note to all other clubs: That's how you celebrate reaching a final!

No restriction on guesting down then?

I don't know why they keep blaming the weather, the track is completely of their own making

Joel Parsons

So, how come Poole are allowed a Premiership guest that doesn't ride in the Championship?

Redcar have buggered their own track up good and proper!
