IainB replied to IainB's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway

Leicester vs Birmingham 26/03/2022 KoC 1st Round 1st Leg

Why did Birmingham accept the fixture then? We rearranged last season and went there to save their club... and this is how the Leicester fans are repaid! -

I'm banned from Leicester's socials lol -
Leicester throwing all their promotional might at this one and finally give it a mention on the website with little more than 24 hours until tapes up LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Connor Mountain, Kyle Howarth, Dan Thompson, Richie Worrall, Anders Rowe, Joe Thompson. BIRMINGHAM: Claus Vissing, James Shanes, Stefan Nielsen, Ashley Morris, Josh Auty, Ben Morley, James Pearson. No Adam Ellis... again! Is he frit of Leicester or something. He's just "unavailable" this time unlike the lies that were spun last time. Was quite looking forward to this, probably give it a miss now in favour of the Ben Fund at Peterborough

Peter Craven Memorial 21/03/22

For me it wasn't as good as the weaker field line-up from the end of last season... but then this attracted double the crowd, so go figure. Heat 20! was worth the 3 hour trip up from Leicester including a 45 minute motorway closure and a 2 and a half hour trip home with another motorway closure! To those that say fans have no appetite for individual meetings, last night was a near sell out, proving that if you can assemble the right line-up the fans will turn out -
Leicester Lions 2022 Line up

Are you suggesting that Leicester don't do enough to promote the sport in the city? -
2022 Regulations - New Super Heat after Draw!!
IainB replied to Roger Jacobs's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
There haven't been drawn matches for years with the league points scoring system -
After the recent shocking passing of Shane Warne "the ball of the century" got a lot of air play and it was amusing to listen to Richie Benaud & Bob Willis almost dead pan commentary. These days the windows of the commentary box would be blown out with the reaction!

And if they denounce the war it'll probably be just as dangerous, especially if they travel to Cardiff via Salisbury! I can see both sides, they both seem like decent blokes (Emil) especially, it's a no win situation really without changing nationality but would you do that to ride Speedway and earn a good living if it meant possibly not seeing your family again.

Probably true, but a bit harsh, on that thinking you could say why even run the match. But it's sport and anything could happen, that's why we watch it.

Shame it's on a Monday evening, I'll still try an get up though, generally worth it at the NSS -
I always find listening to commentary of Tennis on the radio completely pointless... although silence on the radio doesn't work well either

It was Colin Martin... I always like his style, for video at least, was never polished enough for TV imo

RoundThe Boards: Speedway Podcast
IainB replied to RoundTheBoardsPodcast's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Is it available on Google Podcasts? -
I actually did ask them about this and whether they'd be available during the winter with a "season" pass... the reply was "The season pass will run until 31st October". Which of course means that you may miss the Play Off Finals
