Not expecting it to be easy. Mads and Doyle can do well at Kirky Lane and so can Patrick. The reserves are also an unknown quantity.

 

If I remember correctly, not easy at my age, the problem with gate 4 is that the stock cars dig it up and put a post in. Perhaps the answer is for Colin Meredith to do the same to the other gates when he is preparing the track, then when he takes them out all the gates will be equal.😁

As far as I am concerned, the Aces have to take full points from this fixture after their pointless start to the season. If we had nicked a point or two from either of the away fixtures, we could maybe relax a little, but if we have genuine play off ambitions, we need to get as many big home wins as we can, starting this evening hopefully!

 

Prediction: Aces 52 Lions 40.

I would have thought that the obvious answer would be to move the gate back about 10 feet :wink:

Depends if the stock car post is linked to the starting gate position and if moving it affects the refs view of the start line. You could be right though.

 

Who are you going to support tonight? It's good to see Leicester back in the top league. I've got many memories of tight matches at Hyde Road and Blackbird Road, including the infamous track invasion.

Depends on how the lower end of both sides do.

But should be bout a 12 point Aces win id reckon.

 

I expect the Lions reserves to comfortably out score their Aces counterparts. The match could turn on this :wink:

Yes, my loyalties are divided. After the suffering that the Aces fans have gone through over the last 6 or 7 years I am looking for an Aces win. If they do, I just hope that they do it fair and square. After supporting Leicester from 1948 through to 1970 I do have a soft spot for them, but I must go for the Aces for their old history, and recent terrible later history. Lets hope for a good match :wink:

As a Lions fan I just hope that they can build on Saturday night win. If so then the Aces are going to be in for a tough night.

If all goes well with the Lions I can see them taking a close win from this one. Finger and toes crossed, of corse.

Excellent performance from the Aces. Particularly impressed with Palm-Toft. Neat style and claimed the scalps of Ljung, twice and Hougaard. The reserves also did their job. Neilsen showed he is going to be a good acquisition to the team, Reade was on the pace and just needs to improve his starts.

 

Doyle and perhaps Perry aside Leicester were disappointing.

 

I liked the new format, many more races of riders of similar ability.
