When is this European pairs thing? Boughen was missing last night and Hodder tonight, is it a 2 day meeting? Or was there a practice?

Nice analogy... or Dirty Dicko gathers his riders in the dressing room at the end on another pumping on the road at Belle Vue and says to Becker, Masters & Cook "I know what you're thinking. Did he fire five shots or only four? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourselves one question: "Do we feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punks?

Fricke scored 4 on his last visit... this could be a disaster, not Lawson's favourite track by some accounts, he may decide to dust off his protective boot for this one. Becker & Masters could only beat Jordan Jenkins once between them at Ippo last Thursday. Stewart Dickson keeps saying he's looking for a response whenever we get beaten, he doesn't have the luxury of a home meeting after the inept display at Ipswich though.

Unfortunately, I didn't... there they were, in my living room, in their full 55-inch glory... put me right off my sweet and sour chicken balls

There was a lovely view of Paul Hurry's ball sack in tonight's match Redcar vs Oxford just before the super heat

They didn't have the big temporary stand in 2021, if the prices this year are to pay for that it seems an almost suicidal commercial decision.

There's an old sign dumped in the maintenance yard behind the south stand that I've noticed... I think it said £23 Was this the last year that IMG had the rights?

Hmm... haven't we lost 3 times at home this season?

The others got a straight suspension, Kurtz has effectively been given an ultimatum

Most of the team rode like complete wobblers last night, especially in the early races, Cook, and all the best to him, he was having back spasms which must have been frightening looked like he'd never been on a speedway bike before in his first race!

Seriously?!? I missed that... not a good day for Leicester at all!

City are looking for a new manager... I wonder if we could do a double? I've not seen a Lions performance as bad as this since the Blackbird Road days!

If there is, give him a race suit... can't do much worse than this shower

The one saving grace is Doyley ain't riding!

Becker needs to be riding CL

Absolutely pathetic so far from the Lions! Just rank bad speedway riding! England footballers would do better! Usual caveat, Lawson excepted

And in the GP qualifier... just not Belle Vue matches! He may well have aggravated his injury... like Covatti and Musielak, but for some reason they got bans and still nobody has explained to me the difference

Speculation... but when @Phil The Ace posts it, it's usually true

There is no back tracking... it's as if nothing has been previously said, it's like she's got a protective boot in her mouth

They should try and get it back dated to when the offence originally happened

Forget that... what about his legendary protective boot? When you do get it I think you should seriously consider donating it to the Speedway museum, at Paradise Park, where it could become a major exhibit.

Normally in legal documents/rules there's a force majeure clause, I would have thought both Doyle and Tungate should have been covered by this, why a flight delay in a foreign country trumps a traffic delay in a foreign country I'm not quite sure. Neither should have been banned imo... or both (definitely neither)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rules don't mention missed flights, broken down planes, traffic jams etc. It just says the SCB have to be notified when and why a rider is missing. It then seems to be up to the SCB if and what any sanction will be. Why Tungate gets a ban and Doyle doesn't has never been explained. There's far too many 7 and 28 day bans being handed out for my liking.

He missed the meeting
