Quite radically.... First against fourth and second against third this season... Controversial.... "There's nothing to see here, move along please"..... 

Spot on.... Especially following a team that has had regular success over the last few years... It could get "boring" being so successful.... And another potential impact to crowds is having so many high profile non Aces meetings chosen to be held there due to the entertainment level the track provides..  Meaning their fans forking out for so many major international and domestic meetings to attend... Plus of course being one of the very few top tier teams to run a development team season after season... Much better maybe to run just one team, using talent that has been developed elsewhere,  and regularly coming close but ultimately failing to win the top prize, but bleating (every single season it appears), about being unlucky with injuries...?

That was my initial thought too.... I hope Ben isnt on one of those contracts that will cost him money if he gets injured riding in another league.....

Nor me, it was all a bit odd really. Just glad we got over the line. Something to build on.

Win for KL but at what cost? Leszno are fighting to get back to the top flight of Polish Speedway and they'll be furious tonight to a point where they could flex their muscles.

I have to agree.  A very enjoyable watch. Cooper Rushen was very impressive,  and I thought unlucky to be excluded in one heat - no or very minimal contact from my view point. Luke Harrison and Jody Scott also impressed.  Birmingham should be aapplauded for running an NDT team, and then running an MDL match to follow. Great value for money in my book
