Coventry Bees V Leicester Lions 18/4/14


Recommended Posts

Not been to a meeting at Brandon for over ten years because I never found the racing there up to much. Somewhat ironic in view of how poor it is at Leicester.

I think you've got a good little track if I'm honest.

 

Mind you, I've hardly been spoilt over the years have I (well, not since Hackney shut anyway). ;)

Crowd was brilliant against King's Lynn and that was mainly Home Fans

Add to that the fact is Good Friday and I imagine there will be some travelling Leicester fans and the stadium should be packed.

 

Really looking forward to it, hoping the weather is as lovely as today

I'm actually quite surprised considering the history how little interest this meeting seems to be attracting

I'll join in then. I reckon Coventry will struggle and Leicester will easily get a point out of this match. Bees will also be lucky to reach 40 points at Beaumont Park. There's my two predictions but this thread has plenty of life in it yet - watch this space on Saturday morning after the match.

I hope that the Leicester promoter has explained the importance of this and the return match on Saturday to the Leicester Riders! It doesn't matter to me if Leicester do not win any other matches this season as long as they beat the Bees! I well remember as a lad in the 1950's catching a double decker Leicester City Transport bus (one of about 12) to Brandon on a Saturday night and buying hot dogs (with onions) from the man at the back of the banking on the 3rd bend. Delicious! Even more delicious if the Hunters (as they were then) won.

I don't see Leicester coming away with anything on Friday, but I think Coventry should get a point on Saturday. There should be good crowds and atmosphere at both meetings. Hopefully it will be like the Blackbird Road days! - Bring it on.
