The issue with Lynn is as soon as they go away and the track is grippy, no one wants to know. They’re all gaters (minus Harris) and if they don’t hit bend 1 in front then it’s curtains and all very precessional from there. They should in theory (minus the loss already to BV and Ipswich probably) win every home meeting, but apart from Oxford and Birmingham lose heavily away and struggle to pick up enough aggregate points to see them into the playoffs.  The only realistic change is Lambert, but that would require 2 changes having to be made, and who is out there on a 5-point average that would want to come in?

Blimey car park gets full quick.  Hardly any spaces left at 6:15.  Second time I've needed petrol when getting here, second time I've driven the wrong way down a one way system to get to the Tesco petrol station.  The people of Leicester pay 6 p more a little than the people of Cannock for petrol.  Or is Tesco usually that much more expensive than Sainsburys for petrol? The start marshall is the same chap as he guy who used to do it at the EoESg?

Riders or crowd.

Bit of an over the top reaction in my opinion. Yeah the side probably won’t win the league but let’s judge the side once we’ve have a few home meetings under our belts. For the majority of the team it was there first meeting of the year last night!

Paco not racing for Edinburgh tomorrow night as racing abroad (seen Drew guesting for him). Possibly that also.

Ipswich v Oxford Ipswich -24 @ 5/6, barring crashes and EF's this will be a comfortable victory for the Witches around the 59-31 mark Emil -2 over Magic @ 4/5 pretty sure Emil will have put his Monday night troubles behind him and will be hitting 13-15 points Tungate over 6 @ 11/10, Hit double figures in his visit here last season and at the only track in the country he has done more laps around than Oxford now, if Rohan cant get 7 points then he's in for a very long season. Leicester v Belle Vue Leicester -4 @ 6/5, A very solid Leicester side against the power house top 2 and at the moment I dont see the Aces second strings and reserves living with the likes of Becker, Howarth Douglas and Kemp away from the NSS, I see this as a 10 point home win Kurtz over 12 @ 11/10, based purely on the hope he has 6 rides Sheffield v Kings Lynn A tough one to call given the gaters paradise that Owlerton was last week. If Sheffield gate as well as last week and the Stars are as poor out the gate as Birmingham then yes it will be a comfortable home win. Although if the likes of Lawson has his gating gloves on and the track is similar to last week then he can easily be picking up double figures. Only bet Im comfortable with is Pickering -2 over Iversen @ 21-20, As last week, Josh partnered now 3 times with a home reserve and the possibility of 6 rides should see him hit 11-12 points minimum and I dont see Niels hitting double figures;
