Will Ryan Douglas be back for this one as that was a big off he had in Poland at the weekend?  Can’t see Kyle Howarth being fit to ride either as still suffering with the re-occurrence of his ankle injury form his spill last week, Dickson will be hoping Douglas rides as if not it’ll be R/R for him and a non premiership contracted rider as guest for Howarth (not much depth left in Championship to choose from as per Ipswich having to use MPT) which will put Leicester in a weakened position than him being available or runnIng R/R.

Will Lawson be riding, thought after missing Monday's meeting at the last minute being "I I'll " would have a 7 day ban for being unavailable with a non speedway injury 🤔

 Sorry just re read the team and it's RR for Lawson

Big night needed from the reserves and Scott! King has been great so far in 2026 so he will be a hard replace and Palm Toft will give it a go but i wont expect too much from him but lets hope he surprises me!

Lets hope Tom is back to form too!

Could be a home loss incoming.  Tocha said on another thread that King was suspended until the end of this week but there's been no mention of that anywhere else I can see?

You only have to sit out 7 days for a non speedway injury and where you were replaced by a facility

Simply still not fit

Expect we’ll see the lowest attendance for many a year unfortunately. 
 

Pedersen needs to hit the ground running, Edwards needs to have his best meeting, Nicholls needs to do better than he’s managed so far, Tom needs to regain his best form and Tobi needs to maintain his. 
 

An awful lot needs to fall in to place to stop a first home defeat. Can’t see it personally but we’ll see.

Chin up!  At the F2F event with Richard Coleman he said the team were undefeated at home and more than one person responded "until tomorrow", meaning the meeting against Belle Vue - it didn't happen though did it, so let's wait and see, although Palm Toft is a wildcard choice 🙂

I was under the impression that King hurt his ribs when He fell in heat 11 at Kings Lynn so is therefore a speedway related injury.

If Douglas rides can only see a Leicester victory. Poor choice getting in Palm-Toft, Oscar Berwick would have more chance of scoring some points😀
