Stead, Fricke and Steve Worrall are far more stronger than Richie Worrall, Palm Toft and Payne. The side is so much stronger on paper.

It does sound like there was more passing at Leicester last night than our home meeting against Wolves last week. For me it's not necessarily about passing but also close racing and not strung out.

I dont see many that don't expect us being in the top 4 after the change was made. I think something will have to go seriously wrong for us not to make it personally.

I think we have a very good side but Leicester would be low on the list as favourite away track for the side. To get maximum points is a superb effort.

I really didn't expect anything tonight. Bodes well for the season ahead!

Bees have a win in the bag unless a disastrous 5-0 in heat 15. A message for the rest of the league.

Already did better than expected I think and scored more than Robson in the challenge in one heat

Heeps a cracking choice of guest 👍

You just can't compared Leicester to Cov track wise. If Cov has a bit of drive then riders can find it and carrying it on, at Leicester it's so narrow that they can't do that no matter what track preparation is . Only passing I've seen at Leicester is because of a mistake. The shape at Leicester is completely wrong, for a 300m track the centre green is tiny which shows how narrow it is.

Leicester to win 52-38.

Watch the weather clear up now.

Accuweather has the rain to stop in 20 or so mins. It's going to take a good amount of effort to get the track in any decent shape.

As we are facing Leicester we should give it every chance. I'd agree if we were facing a side from miles away then a earlier call would need to be made.

Bringing in Heeps is bizarre to say the least. Is he a track specialist because it's a poor move otherwise.

Accuweather has a dry afternoon apart from a brief spell at 6. It's going to be a wait and see day I think.

Kylmakorpi, Garrity and Sarjeant too take the rides but that shouldn't make too much difference.

The Met Office one looks awful but accu weather has it as a better forecast in the afternoon. Think we will see a Bees win by 14, Kylmarkorpi should be more dialled in than last week.

Forecast not looking the best.

So Coventry could've used an EL rider to cover for Barker last season? I think we all thought it had to be a PL guest for a double upper.

If the interval isn't for track staff etc then why don't they run some of the 2nd half's during the interval? Fans then have a choice to watch, grab a beer or go to the club shop.

R/R would've made sense for Wolves with the rest of the top 5 taking a ride.

As Coventry Blaze have done it I think it would be a good move for our promotion to get linked with Wasps. Getting good crowds and a small mention in the programme and/or twitter feed can give good publicity.

He will move up the list going by performances this season so far. It's costing me an extra 3 quid at Brandon this season adult prices up a pound which I didnt have problem with but child prices have gone up from 3 quid to a fiver. Luckily I have a programme app so it's saves me 2.50 so I'm not really losing out. There will become a point were I a regular attendee since I was 4 to say enough is enough. I've paid the the same price (£23 for 1 adult and child) to watch Wasps v Leicester at the Ricoh Arena, they will have a fans zone and activities for the kids, plenty to do before and after. No surprise they've already sold 21,000 5 weeks before the date of the game. Sorry to hijack the thread, King's Lynn to win by 10.

I doubt promoters that don't own the stadium get any revenue from food/drinks etc. Perhaps it's the Stadium owners insisted on the interval for a bit of extra profit? I'm happy when a meeting at Brandon finishes by 9.15 I think that's an acceptable time for the kids.

Or even PK he was excellent Friday night! I enjoyed your comment that you like your mum but you wouldn't want her riding at number 2!
