No interest in this?  Looks to be the playoff final contenders on current form (and depending if Holder returns to fitness in time.)

LEICESTER: Ryan Douglas, Dan Thompson, Nick Morris, Kyle Howarth, Sam Masters, Drew Kemp, Joe Thompson.

BELLE VUE: Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Peter Kildemand, Zach Cook, Jason Doyle, Tate Zischke, Will Cairns.

What happens if Ipswich come in and offer him a deal to the end of the season?

Can't see it happening tbf, when Doyle became available to ride in the UK Ipswich weren't prepared to have him back in the team as it ment they'd have to make 3 changes to the team to fit Doyle in, well that's what Paul Hurry said apparently.

Whilst I knew we couldn’t cover Dan’s paid 18 from our previous fixture, I was happy that Jason’s 5 rides would get us a decent haul but Aces luck struck again. I have to say though that the way we rallied to the cause was fabulous. We lost out due to misfortune but with the way trophies are now decided, it’s terrific to see how they joined forces to deny the opposition any kind of foothold over 30 heats.

All that damn tractoring cost me 40 mins due to M6 roadworks which I would have avoided if I had been able to leave around 9:20.
Thank you very much Jason Doyle & Mark Lemon, completely innocuous slide off from Doyle should not have meant he had to withdraw from the meeting.  Why Lemon insisted on using Blodorn in heat 9 as IRR rather than Klidemand was stupid, Belle Vue needed Blodorn in heat 13.  He did however make a mockery of the gardening riders insist on doing in that heat, getting to the tapes with seconds to spare and making the best gate of the night.
Absolutely stupid that Blodorn & Kurtz got a 5-1 in heat 11, Kurtz should have dropped back and allowed Masters past to prevent the TR in heat 12.  I said that to several Leicester fans during the interval, before it happened.
That gave Leicester the opportunity to give Douglas an extra ride which they consequently got a 5-1 from handing the impetus to the home team.  Had Douglas not been in that heat Morris (probably) wouldn't have performed as well and Douglas (probably) wouldn't have passed Kurtz in heat 13.
All that said when push came to shove, all but Blodorn & Kurtz went missing when it mattered.
Zischke probably had his best ride I've witnessed in the rerun after the Doyle fall, passed both Lions then made a mistake that let both through.
The only reason Kemp passed Cook in heat 7 was because Cook was trying to team ride Kildemand who kept losing speed on the exit of turn 2.
If these two teams are to contest the playoff final, which looks very likely.  Lions will need to hit 55 at Beaumont Park to have any chance.

Think Lemo cost you that meeting by putting Cook in heat 13, when all he had done was get a lucky win in the rerun of heat 3 after Morris fell with Cook was at the back in the original staging. Should have put Kildemand in instead, or like someone else said used Kildemand earlier and put Blodorn in heat 13.
