Giving up a priority night could be deemed to be somewhat partly to blame...?

I thought the rule was Poland gets priority if a match was rained off & rearranged for a Thursday, when did it become Poland gets priority no matter what?

a jcb should sort that out

if only the promotion knew where to find one.........

Well I quite enjoyed that some decent races normally involing Chris Harris, Richard Lawson and Kyle Howarth - the scoreline flattered Leicester a tad maybe - if KL just had Klindt it might have been a lot more interesting.

I would be interested to know the reason the Lions manager chose who he did for heat 15. Not many fans would have picked Masters and Howarth. I hope it doesn't result in Lions not winning the bonus point!

They already had the bonus point wrapped up by heat 12, they only lost by 2 at king lynn in April.

Since it was given away by the BSPL 2 years ago.

This year Extraliga 2 started organising Thursday matches to take advantage of it rather than only using that day for rain offs.

Common theme in Ipswich when we have already won the points as well now. Very rarely would you see Doyle and Emil unless there is something to play for. Also, even rarer when there is a SGP at the weekend so no need to take any risks for Fricke.

I was expecting Dickson to give Joe T a fourth ride in heat 14. With everything sewn up and under no pressure, it would have given Joe a boost to get some points as his confidence must be pretty low.

Maybe but equally giving him an extra start where he runs a last might set him back - I think he is making progress - last season hed have been maybe scoring just a single point!  There is no doubt the lad can gate pretty well but he got passed in one ride and the same could have happened in heat 12 as he was up against Harris and Cook.

Leicester vs Kings Lynn was a good entertaining meeting last night with a fairly large crowd as well. The meeting was a bit closer than the scoreline suggests. 

Should get the overgrown centre green tidied up though.

My post refers to heat 14 (not heat 12) where he would have been up against Thomsen and Harrison (although Lynn did a switch and brought Cook in. Why?)

I would also like the guy who announces the races/times to pronounce his “th’s” correctly so that “Gate Free” becomes “GateThree”, “sixty free point free free seconds becomes “sixty three point three three seconds” & “Fird place” becomes “third place”

I would imagine some rifers turned down Heat 15. it happens alot more than fans think.

Fair play to the Stars select side last night. Although a 16-point defeat is still a decent margin, I think the score flattered Leicester a tad considering my expectation was they’d hit 60 easily. 

Having attended the meeting, one thing that stood out to me was what lovely fans Leicester have.
