As 3 of those 4 spent time at reserve you could say they had a team of reserves.

How will this one be called off?

I'm sure we'll find out as the press surely have him a grilling at today's "press" & practice

Craig Cook's replacement spotted at Berwick

Nice to see that Craig Cook is still in the team on Lions website: https://www.leicesterspeedway.com/TeamLions Perhaps he's now "ready to ride Speedway" after definitely turning out at Berwick's P&P day today 😉

It's a shame you came down from sunny Manchester determined not to enjoy yourself! I'll counter your selective lowlights from updates with: Heat 5: Kurtz passed Douglas on Bend 2 Lap 4 Heat 6: Fricke does eventually get up the inside coming off Bend 2 Lap 2 Heat 7: Masters who continued to press hard throughout the race. Kemp went under Cook on Bend 4 Lap 1 Heat 8: Blodorn comes down on the backstraight whilst battling Becker for the lead Heat 11: holds off Masters for 2 laps before the race settled down Heat 12: Lidsey rides a fantastic opening lap to pass Kemp exiting Bend 2 and then Douglas on Bend 4 before clearing off Heat 13: Bewley trying hard to pass Masters and is briefly past him off Bend 4 Lap 1 before Masters gets back into third down the homestraight Heat 15: Aces out in front until Fricke forcefully goes under Kurtz entering Bend 3 Lap 2, creating a gap that he goes through and Becker follows Add this to the tight scoreline, possible come back from the Aces and Fricke putting in a captains ride to win the match with his partner in the last race decider... and I'm not really sure what you want from a Speedway match, I can only conclude it's a win at all costs.

EVERYBODY knows this! And they've been trying to polish that particular turd ever since. You have to wonder whether it would have been more cost effective to dig the track up (like they had to do with the NSS) and start again the amount of times it's been altered since.

Just caught up with this... Richard Lawson appearing in heat 1 with a dirty bike and race suit, not really what you expect from a professional Premiership Speedway rider. Ben Cook has had a shocking start to the season. Boughen still looks to be backing off in the first turns, not as blatant as the end of last season but still noticeable he doesn't like to mix it. I'll never understand the mentality of some Speedway riders. Kvech in the same heat surely saw Bomber blasting around the outside to make a pass but still refused to ride any wider than mid track. Great bit of team riding from Jack Holder to shepherd Rowe home for a 5-1. When the riders do their obligatory arm fold in the captions, unless the team sponsors logo is situated on the top of their chest it gets hidden, I noticed this during the CLPC & CLRC, not great for main team sponsorship exposure. Some good track action despite the scoreline.

Francis? You are naughty 😁

I've seen some crap at the NSS over the years... if the track is heavy because of rain (in Manchester I know!) the racing is dreadful. I've also been to a lot of daytime meetings and some of those are nothing to write home about. It generally is always a spectacle though mostly because of how close you are to the track, the speed and noise of the place.

Is tomorrow the most anticipated day in Berwick Speedway's history?

I'm genuinely sad for you if you thought heat 15 was the only genuine race of the night... I think the rest of us enjoyed it a lot more. Riders don't always have to change places for it to be a good race, you obviously missed the other passes... your mind must still have been in the King's Lynn car park 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

Yet Birmingham "elected" to bring in Freddie Lindgren at the same time 🤔 ... and King's Lynn, Kvech 🤔🤔

Not so sure about that, Jason Doyle's season ended at the start of June and Ippo elected not to replace him meaning that when Sayfutdinov got injured they left themselves well short when they met the mighty Lions some 3 months later.

A "friend" of mine may or may not have got it for £50.

Jaimon "I'll only bring my best kit over from Poland once their season is finished after being bang average for Belle Vue all year" Lidsey? Becker had to be there to cash in on that "luck" as you put it... he was and he did.

Thank you for tearing yourself away from watching the GP ticket sales drip through on the Belle Vue website, I'm looking forward to this Monday's irregular update 🤪 What's not in question is Belle Vue's ability to win away from home, you don't really get to make the play offs without that ability and with the current inequality in the league picking up away victories at the leagues whipping boys is more or less a given for the teams that finish top 4. What @Rob B was questioning was the quality of the racing/track at BP. Yes the track wasn't up to muster last night but still produced some decent racing for those that had the ability and put the effort in. If you look at the race comments on updates you'll see that there was some good stuff to be seen (through the dust). The fact is that apart from Kurtz and Bewley your riders just aren't very entertaining to watch away from the NSS where they can just pin the throttle.

I think you may have got me there!

If only Oxford could sign someone🤔someone like... 🤔, ooh I don't know let me think 🤔, erm Grigory Laguta! No, not him, the other one... what's his name 🤔

at £19 a pop... they're not really flying in on private jets

Are we sure they're not the same person? 😂 Who was the ref in the POF last year?

Who was the ref, Babs? Dougy dropped a chain as well didn't he?

You can't keep blaming tracks for your teams generally abysmal record away from the NSS, hope you get out of the car park quicker than you did at King's Lynn 😂 and think of all the cars you'll be passing on the way home with all that dirt on the M1 👍🏻
