Well in the years I went 87-91 Tatum won it x 2 and was runner up x2. However these were showcase meetings in front of a packed out Brandon - not sure if thats what you might say is racking up the titles but the home rider was certainly a finalist 100% of the 4 times I went! Wherever you hold finals you will get this, I recall when Sheffield hosted the riders chanmpionship if Asworth or Compton got the title ebveryone said oh its home track advantage - its the way it is!

Best wishes to Danyon - really nice fella and horrible to hear of his injury! I hope a full recovery is made.

ok - well fair point

Maybe but equally giving him an extra start where he runs a last might set him back - I think he is making progress - last season hed have been maybe scoring just a single point! There is no doubt the lad can gate pretty well but he got passed in one ride and the same could have happened in heat 12 as he was up against Harris and Cook.

if only the promotion knew where to find one......... Well I quite enjoyed that some decent races normally involing Chris Harris, Richard Lawson and Kyle Howarth - the scoreline flattered Leicester a tad maybe - if KL just had Klindt it might have been a lot more interesting.

indeed but i rather suspect the dicking was assuming a full strength Tigers - lets hope nothing seriously wrong with Holder Jnr. irrespective of joking about injuries etc if one of your kids is ill - you'd certainly be taking time off work for it! In fact I had to do it a couple of times myself years back!

I am quite enjoying it!

Well I will still be watching the stream tonight and hope for a good match!

just messin😜

Is that you Buster? you did indeed - I am now going to check Klindts facebook to see if he has clarified his not riding now!

Klindt has insisted he is riding (facebook post)

oh, my mistake it appeared to me that it was on BSN! Oh well Leicester stream it is, as I am not in Shef this week!

I think this might be a better streaming option to Shef v Brum!

The Q to answer is can Birmingham beat their 29 score from the first fixture? I expect a home win but by less! I can't decide which stream to watch either thjis one or the Leicester v KL one!

with apologies to Brummies supporters everywhere - i think most of us knew this already!!!
