It's almost as if they couldn't give a toss about the promotion and fans they are visiting

Even if Ellis had only scored 10, at least the tie would still be alive. So not only have the Leicester fans been mugged off tonight, the Brummie fans will be expected to turn up to watch a dead rubber at the 2nd leg and they wonder why nobody goes to Birmingham... No winners

I wonder how many more matches Ellis will be missing for Brummies?

I think chrome is meant for other android devices, apparently it can be installed but not in a standard way. I've looked at Puffin TV browser but i think there maybe a limit on free usage to 1 hour a day. It'd be good if somebody could recommend something

Not for "All the money in the world"

Is there a recommended browser to watch this on Smart TV's?

I'm not going... would have done if Ellis had turned out or been adequately replaced

Fans get mugged off again! Opening night as well

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

I know... doesn't mean clubs can't charge an "admin fee" though

it was chaos at Birmingham last year when they "lost their signal", fortunately I had cash on me and got in using that... also some clubs (Leicester!) add a CC surcharge

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

Are you suggesting that Leicester don't do enough to promote the sport in the city?

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!

Boycotting them for money... just semantics, you get my point though.

Let's not also forget that it was only a few years ago that it was Emil boycotting the SGP!

Piers Morgan isn't shelling nuclear power stations though. I'm not disagreeing with you... it's a complete no win situation for everybody

Emil "follows" the President of Russia on twitter... hardly a denouncement

Yep, the whole world has just become a much more dangerous place... especially for Russian's. There's going to be a generation or more of Ukrainians that will have anyone or anything Russian in their sights. Such madness smh

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.
