If Max Clegg is signed, Joe Thompson could be forgiven for thinking, "You couldn't make this up". Joe was released by Scunthorpe (against their own wishes, if we believe the reports ) in a move that brought Max Clegg into the team. Max was then subsequently released, rather quickly, to bring Drew Kemp into the side. Now you're saying that he's a possible replacement for Joe again. Don't worry Joe. That's racing. Yeh, right.

But what about the away matches?

I thought it was an entertaining meeting. There was a good number of genuine overtakes including for the win. We've been a lot more critical of more than just a few GPs of late.

The simple answer is that if the 2 sides draw the 2nd match and they are tied on aggregrate, the super heat decides both the match and the aggregate point. But to pick up on what others are saying. You do know that super heat is an abbreviation? It's full name is the superfluous heat.

Or closer to home, Max?

Not sure who OP is, but sorry that you've gone. The file you mentioned would have been of real interest to a self confessed nerd such as me.

I do like that.

The track was dire. It is hard to argue otherwise. But how can it be that 2 out of the 4 gates are graveyards? And to add insult to injury, the same was true last year. And it was the same two gates. I hate gate and go meetings but let's prepare the gates so that they are fair. I guess Bart can claim a victory given that he was the only rider to win a race from either gate 2 or 3. A pretty sad indictment.

That's 2022 !!

Couldn't be there tonight and have just watched the recording. Great result for the Lions and I still hold to my assertion that Justin Sedgmen is the signing of the season. He's the Ellis Perks or Connor Mountain from the season when we won the Championship. As to the TV coverage. It was poor. Actually very poor. The commentary didn't even match the pictures at times. And "watching the leader" when there was obviously a good race going on behind just drives everyone nuts. Well me anyway. Sorry Eurosport, you have all the right ingredients (with one exception). Maybe when you can get "dialled in" you'll make it work. And if I haven't pi**ed everyone off too much, if there is someone out there who could post the race times, I would be most grateful.

Chalk and cheese. I love it.

I have 274.21m. But I heard them say a few minutes ago that they've made the track a metre wider and changed the track length.

Anyone near to the stadium with a weather update. I'm over near Cheltenham and the amount of rain we've had here would definitely make any track unrideable

The weather that's travelling Oxford's way from where I am is rain of Biblical proportions

It's interesting what you say as a (temporary) Leicester fan. In amongst a glittering list of names, Max Frick, Bomber and so on, Justin is surely the Lions signing of the year. He's scoring solidly in every meeting and seems to fear no one. Nick, on the other hand, who rode for the Lions last year, looks frustrated and possibly unsure what to do to regain his form. Belle Vue, recently grabbed a draw when we were 6 up with 2 to go and then won the Super(fluous) heat. Fair play to Nick, he "fronted it up" in the post meeting interviews but he was so upset that he couldn't speak. I wasn't cross, I really felt for him because it appeared he couldn't understand what had just happened. Maybe it's to do with his motors, I don't know. But I sense he's very competitive and it won't be long before we see him scoring good points again.

5.91 from 2016

Where did you pull that one from? And just out of interest what average would he come in on?

I hope Joe gets a team spot somewhere else. As things stand, that'll be both brothers riding in divisions 1 & 3 but not 2. I know I've said it before, but the maths ain't working somewhere in that equation.

So unless someone leaked the pairs, there is something else to be announced tomorrow. Mind you, the pairs has gone from 7 rounds last year (well nearly) to a planned 3 rounds this year, to a 1 off. Maybe the big news is that we're going to give to Ipswich without the need for any racing whatsoever. I'll get my coat.

It's a joke?

Now that the Poles have started using Thursdays as one of their nights on several occasions this season already, they won't mind what nights we run on with our one big league next season?

So tapes up is 7:00 our time? It says the event will start in 1hr 35min

To be fair, it does say, "Weather permitting" in the small print of all forecasts

One wonders why he hasn't got an identity crisis.
