The replacement has to be a Rising Star, not a Falling Star 🫤

Dan Gilkes was taken to hospital in an ambulance tonight, fingers crossed for him. I’ve been impressed with his efforts in Lions colours so far.

Over a week has passed now since I attended Perry Barr and there is still no sign of any card payment on my account. How likely is it that they will take the money now? I can’t be the only one surely. No wonder Brum are up 5h1t creek financially 😟.

……..And then have to cancel it and book a taxi, fingers crossed that you can fill it 🫰

The comparison is a bit like trying to decide which alcoholic is the least drunk 🤪

I can assure you Brum’s financial plight is genuine. I paid by card for Monday nights meeting and as yet nothing is showing on my bank account!

Oh dear😟 Dare I ask what average Castagna comes in on?

Oh dear😟 Dare I ask what average Castagna comes in on?

I wasn’t prepared to pay for the delayed stream on principle…….So I got in the car, on to the motorway and drove to Perry Barr. Ha, they won’t get the better of me! The meeting was bang average with little passing on a track that looked pretty slick. Hard to see where Brum’s first win will come from with this cloud seemingly hanging over Zagar. The definition of a team effort from the Lions, with all riders managing a race win away from home.

Their knowledge of the sport is fuelled by their passion for it, they genuinely care.

I would be very disappointed if the Lions didn’t come away with the points with those line ups 😟.

I see that the stream of the meeting is not available until 10.00pm, but can be bought for the usual full price. Bit of a cheek that 😟.

For me, the top three are nailed on. The bottom two are sadly also nailed on. The most exciting battle appears to be between the Lions and Lynn for the play offs. The big guns have two GP level riders who can step up in heats 13 &15. The Lions have an out and out No.1, weak reserves and a balanced main team body in between. Lynn however have gone for the ultimate balance with six riders on 6+ averages. Neither team has the obvious fire power in the latter heats of matches, but I’m interested to see which team structure of the two is the most successful.

Bet he’s regretting that now 😂

Yeah, got that, not sure what your summary offers in response, but move on.

Why has this escalated into a Foxhall v NSS debate on a Leicester thread? 😟

Hats off to all Witches fans that can be motivated to attend this meeting and part with their cash.

So Zagar has visa issues? Tell him to switch to Mastercard for goodness sake 😤

Kerr & Sedgy will turn up though!

......And then explain that Bomber is likely to have ridden for everyone at some point before the season is out!

I get the point you are making, but until the sport can address the number of inevitable rain offs ( don’t know what the answer is to that one, well at least one that is financially viable), that proposal is doomed from the outset.

‘A shame more meetings don't get called off when either of the teams cannot have all their riders available...’ Have you actually thought about that statement? Throw in the weather situation and we’d be lucky to get the season completed by December, with only Bomber and Santa interested in guest bookings by then. !

Howarth was solid too!

I was impressed with Gilles today and am looking forward to watching him at Leicester. He looks like a proper racer. Can’t get too carried away though as Oxford is the track he’s most likely used to and was racing against a team that looks like it will struggle all season. Was shocked at how poor Tungate was.

There’s a real incentive for the Lions reserve pair on Monday. This lad Gusts (whom I’ve yet to see) sounds exciting. So if he gets out in front and stays there, you wouldn’t want Dickson in your ear saying you couldn’t pass wind 😂
