Great win for the Lions last night despite the meeting being ruined by a) the weather and b) the referee. The downpour in the afternoon really put paid to the track and certainly 'levelled' it us as far as any home advantage was concerned but then along came Agent Turnbull to put matters right lol! Couldn't see why Rew was excluded in Ht 3 - thought it was going to be first bend bunching but hey ho the way he was riding last night he would,ve probably fallen off anyway Max Fricke should have been excluded in Ht 13 I reckon - we were expecting it so was surprised when he wasn't ... Beckers exclusion looked harsh from where we watching but I guess if there was the slightest contact you go down .... Masters gate in Ht 15 unreal - match winning ride there Sam .... Credit to both sets of riders for giving it a go on a very difficult track and commiserations to the Witches who, had they had their 2 top riders would no doubt of walked the League and smashed the Play-Offs, however they didn't and Lions are in the Play-Off Final for the first time in their history! Congrats to the Lions, Stewart Dickson and all - onwards and upwards as they say ....

Dont think we have too much of an issue at Beaumont Park - its on our away travels that the team is just not up to scratch .....

This team just not good enough ..... Harsh comment but nobody is proving that statement wrong ...

Lions threw this meeting away - Dougy looking left when he should.ve looked right, Masters going from a winning 1-5 to last place in Ht 15 ... Another away meeting goes missing

Lions missed opportunities at a depleted Sheffield last week and a depleted Ippo this week - good to see Scottie still has it though!

Lions are ok at home but pretty ordinary away from Beaumont Park. Not emough race winners to do any damage in this League I am afraid. Hats off to Lawson - good performance from him .... to be fair to Fricke paid for 8 from 3 and then tailed off when you need him most - rest just solid but not enough. Hey ho - at least we will see a few more wins at BP! Cheers

Anybody know what Average Danyon Hume is for 2022?

As a Lions fan - I agree with that Summary foreverblue ..... did not expect that result .... really impressed with Danyon Hume and Rory Schlein .... Basso certainly looks a talent. Disappointed with Harris as guest for Hans .... Track needed more dirt on it tonight to make it harder to ride for the opposition ... no excuses though as the better team deservedly won.

Thanks - wasn't sure if he was fit or not ..... guess it will be Harris then ... pleased with that anyway!

So does anybody know if Chris Harris is guesting for Hans Andersen again on Sat night ? What about Richard Lawson if not or is he injured at present ? Come on you Lions!

RIP Roman Matousek Concur with the comments about him being a strong lad - recall it being said he had the strongest forearms in Speedway at the time and you certainly not want to arm wrestle him !! An entertainer for certain - never a dull moment when Roman was on track - not sure his own teammates were entirely comfortable riding with him ? lol I see to remember him as being essentially a 5-6 point rider who showed glimpses of better talent on occasion - recall one meeting at Coventry where he was a reserve and took 4 rides on the trot against some team - the first three races won in blistering form and the fourth he was leading until the Bike went bang big-time - never the same rider after that as believe it was a catastrophic and expensive bike loss. 55 Years of age too young for anyone to pass away - thoughts are with his family.

That's exactly what GB Speedway needs ... "riders on a level playing field and they can all beat each other on any given night" .... good close racing !!!

Swindon might have signed better riders so far you mean - how many GSA points have Robins signed v Sheffield so far ? Anybody know what GSA Nicki Pedersen will start on ?

Would be happy with something like .... Nick Morris Ryan Douglas Kyle Howarth Josh Bates / Ellis Perks Connor Mountain Danyon Hume / ANO 4.00 pointer Joe Lawler - possible Thompson 2.00 Does it fit ?

Massive thanks to the departing Scott Nicholls for his efforts as a rider and as our influential captain in Season 2019 - huge respect for the guy as an accomplished speedway rider over many years .... hope the future holds good things for you wherever you end up Scotty !!

With Simon Stead remaining in charge - maybe a possibility of attracting Martin Vaculik back to the uk ??

Not sure of the rules for next year of having just the one rider or more over 8.00 GSA ? If we are bale to have two then I would personally like to see both Scott Nicholls and Richard Lawson as our twin spearhead for next season, keep Ellis Perks and try and have Danyon Hume & Joe Lawlor at reserve Need two more engine room riders then .....

If Paul Starke had been riding .... If Rasmus Jensen hadn't fell ... If ... If .... well who's to say if Richie Worrall had been riding then he may well have done a lot better than his brother did on the night and in any case it doesn't matter because Lions won ...... Gotta say that Glasgow were a strong team over the two legs but not as strong as us !

Don't think Ryan will be with us if he is set on riding in Poland too ? Ellis Perks has to be number 1 priority - only getting better

Any idea of teams for the return leg at Beaumont Park ? Presumably Lawson could guest for Lions on Sat at home ( given the +5% rule ) if needed so he could be involved in the semi finals for both teams ??? lol

With the meeting off now until Fri 4 Oct - presumably means no Lawson as guest for R Worrall but also no Broc Nicol for Nathan Greaves either ? Weather forecast not good for Sat night either .....

Personally I think any team should not entertain bringing in a rider in the last few days before the transfer deadline who quite obviously did not want to commit to a full season in GB in the first instance, even if it does strengthen their chances of play-off success ...... it's all at the expense of riders who were committed to GB I reckon .....

Well and truly got out of jail with that win tonight ! Terrible performance from Ty Proctor tonight - looked way off the pace - worrying for the future unless he is riding injured or something? Mistake IMO to pull the impressive Ellis Perks out and tac sub Scotty in Ht 6 - should,ve targeted Palm Toft with tac sub ( Schlein or Douglas ) in Ht 7 in place of Joe Lawlor ... Impressed with Rasmus Jensen …. very lucky in Ht 14 after Sam Jensen fell whilst leading ,,,,,, Ryan out of his depth in Ht 15 albeit no matter ... Worried about Ty Proctor …..

Well I for one am very pleased Craig Cook is riding for the Tigers against Lions on Sat night - as a Lions fan , I want us to try and beat a strong Glasgow team with arguably the best rider in the Championship this year as opposed to one without.....

Apologies - didn't realise that was the case ....
