Ok Leon you know what you have to do anything less than 3 points is job done. I am sure Gerry will make up the shortfall, any questions asked about your performance just say you had a burger for lunch and it must have been dodgy.

Yes. Beat the opposing rising star away from home...... job done

I particularly like Brett’s prediction it gives you the feel good factor seeing it. Should get him to predict a Hibs relegation next season as well if his prediction here comes up.

So in other words he did his job.

You also spouted your usual BS about no new clubs ever opening again. Buxton and Northampton put paid to that ridiculous argument. So you were rightly mocked before and will continue to be…you utter 🤡 And that’s being kind. 🛎️🔚

Belle Vue fans won't need to worry about what it's called soon anyway. By the end of the Easter weekend they will be concentrating on the league. 😉

Kildemand very hit & miss, looked faster than C Holder in his first ride after passing Flint then was utterly anonymous in his next two rides, looked fast enough in his fourth but had to yield to Bewley's hunt down of C Holder, which was good. Cook was disappointing, won his last ride when the points were decided gave it a go at forcing his was past Etheridge on the run in to the line, but didn't manage it. Cairns score looked reasonable for an away RS but only beat Kileen twice, once in heat 2 when Kileen was off the graveyard gate 3 and in heat 4 when Bewley was on the graveyard gate 3 so Bewley kept Kileen at the back after getting past him. Thomson, Zischke & Harris were largely anonymous. I witnessed Harris score 19 points from 7 rides at Sheffield in 2021, 5 years on maybe its beyond him now. Bewley cut back scything between Pickering & J Holder in heat 13 was a joy to watch.

I've come up with a brilliant idea, that nobody has thought of... don't call it the Knock Out Cup!

Sheffield Belle Vue Ipswich Leicester Lynn Northampton

When it comes to heat 15, we all know that you need a big two. Sam Fox certainly has these (or at least used to). I now understand why the team nickname is the Foxes and not the Lusardi’s.

Just looked on a phone at weather for workington and the weather could not be any worse. looks like the right thing to do as i dont think many would risk travelling from here in that weather.

Dan Bewley take a bow, he was tremendous. The rest of the Aces may as well have not shown up. Best racing I've seen at Owlerton for some time. Shame gate 3 is still a graveyard in the early heats.

It really is just a joke sport.Will Flint help Monarchs eliminate Tigers or vice versa.

Will he get 2 Teams though.They say they can’t make it pay with 1 Team🤔

Not that new: In 1998 the Premier League KNOCK OUT Cup consisted of two groups. In the group matches Peterborough easily bested Reading winning at Alwalton and Smallmead, but Racers won the cup beating Peterborough in the final.

My wheels have turned, I left home on Wednesday last week for P&P

Just out of interest, how would the two of you suggest that they run a knockout cup with 6 teams ? Assume 2 would be seeded into the semis, so would that be the 2 finalists from last season ? As Northampton would be one of the quarter finalists, that would delay the whole competition as they are not going to be ready to ride at home until the end of the month. Yes, we can all be cynical about it, but I would say the format chosen for this year is probably the best option in the current circumstances.

Great showing from Sheffield. Last few races Bewley dug in deep but the result was done and dusted. A sign of things to come from BV away or was Sheffield just too strong? Etheridge will be a real trump card at reserve what an absolute steal on a 3.00 average

No Dan Thompson (riding in Poland) somebody called Leon Flint stands in 😀

Think they're both past,do they even look at the teams

Paul Hunsdon and Tony Gaul are Promoters. Chris Adams is the team Manager. There is no secrecy. https://britishspeedway.co.uk/rowe-motor-oil-premiership/introducing-the-foxes/

I suspect the first few meetings will be busy due to the novelty factor, but yes it could go south rapidly. History tells us that new or newish teams are usually in fire fighting territory early on. For example Milton Keynes 1990, Skegness 1998.

A comprehensive, but not unexpected, win for the Tigers with only Bewley putting up any resistance. A good work out to get the season underway.

Nice score from Bewley.

As things slowly emerge, for me they seem to confirm the "consortium" are looking to sell it on asap after the start and recoup their financial outlay. Possibly already is a party waiting in the wings. Hence minimal marketing and promotion, likewise budget team. As for the bizarre choice of Foxes for the team name, maybe Harry Redknapp has worked his contacts book a bit more by lining up Samantha Fox to front-up the "grand opening" on the 30th, perhaps with Linda Lusardi making it a twosome (or foursome)
