It's a fair point @AFCB Wildcat makes, there were no end of floaters that went to Cardiff, just for the experience. I've taken friends in the past and I was going to meet up with a couple from Cardiff this year and we were all going in. My mum's hairdresser's husband and his mates used to go down from Leicester... even though they don't normally go to Speedway! And that's just me Billy no mates! How anybody can paint a reduction in crowd from 20,000 minimum to 6,500 as a positive is completely beyond me smh.

You've just described @mikebv 😂

I've just read that Leicester will meet Sheffield IF they can manage to beat Birmingham tonight.

Did you see the crowd on Monday night? I think half is a bit ambitious... maybe a third at the absolute best.

I hope you've been copying my posts on here and putting them on Facebook 😉😂

Me too, and the same design flaw still exists with the air fence to this very day.

I'm not on FB, is she a journo or something?

Maybe a lot of people waiting to see if Ben Barker qualifies from the British Final for both nights 😉

Jesus! That could have been written by me! The guy needs to stop complaining, get a life, post something positive etc. 😂 Whereabouts on Facebook was this copied from?

I hope not... I want to see Laguta or Sayfutdinov for the price I'm paying!

Absolutely they should... but they just don't have to be in a play off system. We've all seen riders giving that extra effort (100%) when the play offs come around, whether that's sustainable over a whole season is a different matter.

To be fair there was a pretty good crowd there in Monday and there weren't too many Lions fans present compared to usual... an opening gone defeat IS NOT going to help though

Are they really the Champions though? As all teams know the rules they could easily run at 58% effort all year and sneak into the play offs, assuming they don't care where they finish and then put 100% effort in to the "title"

Morally, if everybody knows the rules at the start of the season, then I think it's fine, when the play offs are fiddled at the end of the season that's where things start to get iffy... but don't get me started on all that again!

LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Sam Hagon. BIRMINGHAM: Tobiasz Musielak, Jonas Jeppesen, Michael Jepsen Jensen, Keynan Rew, Matej Zagar, Antti Vuolas, Jason Edwards.

A battered brummie sounds quite tasty 😋

I see the The Competition and Markets Authority have blasted Ticketmaster about the pricing of the Oasis tickets... wait until they hear about the SGP at the NSS!

Nigel Tolley to blame the track for Brummies exit

@LagutaRacingFan to make outlandish excuses for MJJ's poor performance

Leicester to progress to the next round

It's a strange one isn't it, he's been around for quite a while now and has never really had a break through unlike Tom Brennan and Dan Thompson

I don't know about bottle or confidence but he definitely has the style, he looks very comfortable, tidy and in control on a bike to me.

I think the first TNT match is King's Lynn vs Oxford on Monday the 28th of April, not sure if a schedule has been released after that.

They could literally have "The Masked Bandit" on parade and get the thousands on the terraces chanting: Take it Off! Take it Off! Take it Off! And then reveal if it's Craig Cook... Or Rider Replacement for the season.

That's it, it was to do with bike covers or something wasnt it, at least that was Cook's side of the story. Either way, not the first time he's done this. He still turned out for his CL club though, but who knows this time?
