Happy Hunter

You will be happy this week then! The teams for Saturday were published on the Lion's website this morning. Nothing yet about the Cubs match at BV on Friday yet though!!

According to the BBC the rain is only light in Perry Barr at the moment and due to stop about 5 p.m.

On Leicester's Web site:- http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.31906.1

I bet their not now!

If that's the case whoever beckoned the bouser off the track had no regard for the comfort of the fans on bends 3 and 4!

If you look at the Speedway Updates report you will see there are more than one of two passes after bend two on the first lap.

You must have missed the first race then!

Ben Morley guesting in place of Rowe.

Anders Rowe not riding for Ipswich tonight for some reason. Shane's guesting.

The original planning permission included a proper stand to include, among other things, a ticket office and entrance, refreshments, track shop, toilets and riders changing rooms. Like many other aspects of the development it never got built and so we have the ad hoc arrangements that we have now.

Or change the rules so that the transponder can be fixed to something that doesn't revolve.

I think the disabled spaces outside the track are for spectators. I imagine you have to contact the club to make arrangements to use them as they are, I think, accessed from the same, separate, entrance that the riders etc use. After the track was completed David Hemsley obtained planning permission for a properly laid out and surfaced car park but nothing happened. I assume that this was due to a lack of finance.

It's Tescos not Sainsburys just in case anyone gets misled! To be really pedantic it's the Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre Car Park.

I don't very often come to the aid of any promoter but you need to bear in mind the costs incurred by them even though the meeting was abandoned. I don't know what they will be but I think they could well include hire of stadium, hire of medical staff, referees fees, payments to track staff and travelling fees for riders. There might be other costs incurred as well. All of the above will also be incurred when the meeting is re-run.

It's no good going on recent performances. Lion's won at Scunthorpe and Plymouth last season!

The Lion's have now completed a quarter of their league fixtures so they better start to improve their away form pretty soon. Redcar on Friday would be a good place to start!

The same as they did at Scunthorpe!

Seven rides for Gilkes tonight then?

Given the way that Lion's teams usually ride at Poole, I would agree with you!

Wrap up well. It's going to be cold tonight!

confirmed. Richie Worrall has withdrawn due to injury and is replaced by Jack Thomas. Reserve now is Jake Mulford. James Sarjeant is replaced by Ryan Kinsley From today's updates on Lewis Kerr testimonial meeting at Kings Lynn this afternoon.

There's plenty of Championship action in the Video Vault.

Love it!

Thanks for this. I, for one, thought they were the same. Will the no 8 rising star replacement be able to take the rising stars rides if the rising star is injured during a meeting and withdrawn?

Does anyone actually know how the new no. 8 system will work?
