Damn! beat me to it

BREAKING NEWS: Adam Ellis today confounded medical science to race for his French team Morizes. The French ace romped to 13 points helping his side to an away victory. Government scientists are now seeking to question the British Champion to ascertain his miracle recovery from "illness" sustained at Sheffield on Thursday evening. They believe it may have been a dodgy pie but sources close to the Lourdes based Frenchman say that he has been drinking the spring water from the bottom of his garden... more news as we get it.

I'm not insinuating anything, to be honest, I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes... nor do I care really. All I know is Leicester were left trying (or not) to promote an un-promotable meeting. A meeting that was/is THE most important meeting of the year so far in the defence of their league title, remember that? In fact they could have paraded the trophy round to the fans last night while we were all waiting... before it heads off to Poole and they actually do something with the bloody thing Don't forget the KO Cup!

There wasn't even a preview of the match on the website until around 24 hours before the event... I don't know what you'd call that?

Was that filmed by Eurosport?

Erm... I told you so. This thread is now open for apologies

If you check out the International Speedway section of the forum, somebody (usually R&R) will post a link before the meeting starts

If you don't enjoy listening to Sam Ermolenko commentate, you don't enjoy life

Riders less of course

I was actually joking!

Shhhhh! You're blowing "the story"

Retired like Jack Thomas?

Scunny should have forfeited the match and we all move on. There shouldn't even have been top 6 in the play offs this year, they've only done it to extend the season for a couple of clubs... well, they've certainly managed to do that!

What is not out of the control of Leicester Speedway is the number of ambulances in attendance. They've been caught out before by not having adequate medical cover to ensure the smooth running of matches. It should be compulsory for 2 ambulances to be in attendance in my opinion. It seems like the sport is run by a bunch of chancers at times.

Will give Ellis a chance to get better

Heard on the PA on the way out they're going to try and arrange for tomorrow if they can get the staff... probably no Ellis or facility for him. Running out of weekends now I wonder if they'll run against the SoN next weekend. Think I'm gong to save my ticket for the semis now anyway

Off!

19:45 comes and goes... no update

Does "assessed" mean there are a load of people standing by it giving sharp intakes of breath?

The ambulance is being "assessed" next update 19:45

I'm there... fortunately it's quite a nice evening

Does an ambulance still count as an ambulance if it's on the back of a tow truck I wonder?

Nice to see the Leicester promotion filling the wait with... erm... nothing, how about an interview with a rider or two... a sing-a-long? Why are we waiting...

RAC are on the scene... this'll be off me duck

He'll be fit for the re-staging then!
