Nothing new there as the track has rarely produced decent racing since Leicester opened. To be fair things definitely improved last season after bends 3/4 were altered so once it has settled down and the riders get used to the change to bends 1/2 the racing should be on a par to any other track, which probably means 5 or 6 good races out of 15.

Well, it wouldn't for me as I'd still want to stay for the week if I did that journey.

Hardly surprising is it on a Wednesday night with the majority of people working? I know if I went I'd want to spend a week there on holiday to make the journey worthwhile. There was a good attendance at Peterborough because the match was held on a Sunday afternoon and no doubt lots of Coventry fans will be at Leicester too on May 13th as it's a Saturday. Mid week meetings are difficult unless one is self employed and can afford to have two days off.

That's rather rude and arrogant. Have you even been to Beaumont Park this season to see any tractor grading as I know you rarely went last year or are you just jumping on the bandwagon?

Okay thanks. Won't repeat anything

Be nice to know FACTS then perhaps fans wouldn't speculate. Let's have some then please as you seem to know.

....Give me £1,000 and you can, but not necessarily with Simon Lambert as I've no idea what he looks like and I'm fussy. Shame about the end bit of grandstand that is always out of bounds now because that's where I used to go. Having two dogs who like to stretch out and go to sleep it kept them out of everyone's way. I presumed it was because of needing stewards but this is Speedway we're talking about and there aren't usually any problems. Health and stupid Safety strikes again.

1]Good, 2] good, 3]good and 4] good. Sorry I've chucked my programme away and I've been to another meeting since then so I can't remember any specific details. Have a read through http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/16524/leicester-somerset-premiership-koc-2017?page=1&scrollTo=321316 or alternatively hopefully someone with a better memory can tell you. Lions did have bad luck in heat 15 though when Kim had a puncture on the back straight of the last lap while leading so it made the difference between going through to the next round or not. Unfortunately it meant not.

You were saying? Must admit looking at the 2 teams on paper beforehand I thought Ipswich would easily win. Close. Me too, although not truly neutral as I wanted the Panthers to win. Is it me or has Simon Lambert got a really weird style of riding?

I don't think these meetings are anything to do with Mick so he wouldn't be getting anything. You can put your tenner in the bucket now.

Definitely. My two love going to Peterborough and take a keen interest in the racing. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153948747132785&set=a.10150784554067785.494859.550797784&type=3&theater

So how does SCB define a puncture? Does that come under the 'bad luck' list being as falling off or an engine failure doesn't? Leicester on a 4-2 in heat 15 which would take them through to the next round of the KO Cup with an aggregate two point victory, only for Kim to suffer a puncture on the back straight of the last lap when leading, so turning it into a victory for Somerset. Hard luck Lions but well done to the Rebels.

That's not bad at all as no match should take longer than 2 hours, barring any delays due to accidents. I noticed that the Leicester meeting ran at a steady speed and there was only a 10 minute interval thank goodness as it was bitterly cold. Thanks to Margaret Vardy and all concerned.

Oh Steve....you've let me down. Here was me thinking the big gun has arrived and you say that.

Go on then Starman. Send in your report to Matt. He won't.

It's called having a sense of humour. You should try it sometime.

lol. This is so funny. Carry on as I could do with a laugh today.

I like Gavan and agree it's just mainly some Poole fans who find him annoying because he tells a few 'home truths' against their beloved team.

Oh no. Just saw Gary O'Hares photo on Facebook as he is there and I thought it was a 'live' one but obviously not. Hope the weather clears up and the match can go ahead.

I think that's you scuppered.

Because it was relevant to what starman said and also on the topic of Darcy Ward who we seem to be discussing at the moment?

I was replying to full-throttle and I blame him for making me feel depressed. Once Bomber is in the team I'll cheer up.

Yes, I bet he went pretty fast when the Police were trying to catch him.

So what do you reckon then? Is it time to knock this on the head if it's going to be an assortment of riders going under the Coventry name? The Peterborough meeting was amazing and perhaps it should have just been a one off. I'll go to the Leicester one hoping the team has some sort of resemblance to the original team but it looks like Kerr has deflected already now he has a place with Poole.

Yes when it got going some fabulous racing as usual. Interval only 10 minutes too so I'm happy. Heat 14 at moment as Ulrich decided to do a wheelie from the tapes and his bike went over the fence. 😮 Glad he's okay.
