Great guest in Lawson. Be bagged 14+3 there, only a week ago.

Has Craig Cook recovered from his Covid;)

Like you say, Oxford probably picked the right guest, but can’t see the rest of them getting close to Leicester. 54-36.

I cant see the score line much different to you tbh. Unless the lions have a bit of a dip.

Something like, the 1 to 5 around 30, reserves 7 ish, probably miles out, but i'll have a go 53-37.

Another sad fact of state of UK speedway where it looks like Leicester going to try and go with R/R for rest of season for Becker.

... and it's working very nicely thank you very much 😁

Good....

No guests....

In fact, what would be better is  that Fricke could take two rides, and anyone else at the managers choosing, also takes two...

A fit for purpose RR facility would eradicate dozens of guests, give that teams riders more rides, and keep the sport credible...

And Fricke will take two rides if a TAC is needed, so just make that the plan from the outset...

He has, and rode last night for Berwick at Oxford.

I'm not disagreeing Ian more a case of the fact you can't get hardly anybody to ride here anymore even those starting out 90% don't want to know, look at the situation at Berwick three established riders, r/r and three reserves who are out of their depth most of the time but they don't seem able to find a rough diamond anywhere to take a chance on a 4 point average even.

Although me and my big fingers may have typed too soon... first time Mr Dickson hasn't used Masters in heat 1 and it ran a last!

How about having half point guests and their points counting double... so if a 6 point man is out, you get a 3 point guest in and any points they score count for double... I'm of course joking, aren't I? Remember you read it here first!!!!

Some good racing at Leicester tonight, Fricke from 15m in heat 10 was brilliant. 

He even seemed to bugger his start up off of 15 as well, probably 20 going into turn 1 👏

Probably the best prepared it’s been all year.

Maybe they could be blindfolded for triple points?  :t:
