barrow boy Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Leicester now have to face Chris Harris who is in for Matej Zagar who has previously not been competitive on their Beaumont Park track. This makes The Aces much stronger and must be big favourites to inflict another home defeat on the Lions who will again find it difficult to score points after heat 12 in which Aces will feature Harris, Cook & Nicholls who all perform well on the track.

robert72 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The aces line up will boost the crowd but I fear a big loss for Leicester if the 1-5 perform like they did last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckettlion Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Sizeable away win. Wonder if our promoters can postpone the meeting without much reason and rearrange it for a time when Mr. Zagar can come and have a practice at one of his less favoured tracks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bump Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Having witnessed first-hand our now infamous drubbing last week by those Hammers of Lakeside, I can only see us on the end of another right spanking courtesy of the Aces tomorrow. Â Especially when not very track specialist Mr.Zagar isn't in attendance. Â Sincerely hope though the lads prove me wrong and put up a fight! Â It's all we can ask for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethelion Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Â Slovenian Championship meeting I believe, conveniently As soon as the Belle Vue management knew the date of the Solvenian championship they must have been on the phone to the Lions requesting they visit the Lions on that date. Did Zagar complete a race last season at BP? They are stronger with Chris Harris riding, he's always excellent at BP. Then again Rolf Harris could be guesting and i'm sure they would still win ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Id have been intrigued to see him v Walasek in who can spend more time on the centre green! Hope greg can find the form of last year though, been frustrating so far but I do think he's an excellent rider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTFC LION Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Sounds like a few have been practicing up at BP today. To be honest all I want to see is maximum effort and bikes that are fit to do 4 laps. Fed up of seeing bikes failing after half a lap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Im going to be travelling down tomorrow, hope the weather is like its been here today. We never seem to do well at Leicester and Lakeside have done us no favours as the pelters the Lions riders recieved from their promotion after that meeting will no doubt have them more fired up. Zagar does not like the track at all so Bomber appears a better fit for us, wonder how Matej would find the track now its been altered?

Shale Searcher Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Been up at the track all day today, any lying water has been removed, some remedial work on 3 and 4 before the boys got down to some serious practise.. Â Rain forecast for overnight tonight, so we'll get rid of any more water that overstays it's welcome in the morning. Forecast for race day is ok, sunny intervals, chance of a shower, temps between 10c and 14c, less windy than of late.. Â Â Should be a cracking meeting!!!!!!!! Â I'll update weather, but only if the forecast changes from above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Coming down to Leicester tomorrow, first time at Beaumont Park so really looking forward to it. Â After last week's pasting off the Hammers expecting a much stronger showing from the Lions, should be great night's racing. Bookies will have it a convincing away win no doubt, potential banana skin for Lemo's boys?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 What's the betting it will be off either weather reasons or off track reason . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Zagar does not like the Leicester track so harris in for Zagar strengthens Belle Vue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Was looking forward to coming down for this one but having checked several weather sites its forecasting rain from 5 pm to 10 pm, these days its certainly not worth travelling unless the forecast is bang on, will have to leave it till the very last minute to decide.

Happy Hunter Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Just looking at the teams for tonight and have discovered that the Vue riders have a total average of nearly 49 at Leicester (Elite league matches only). Surprisingly the rider with the lowest average is Scott Nichols with 6.25, the highest is Bomber with 8. So it will need a really good performance by the Lions to get a win.

Typical Speedway weather when it's hard to decide what to do. It doesn't look too bad from this forecast, but it is raining a bit at the moment. https://weather.com/en-GB/weather/hourbyhour/l/Leicester+LCE+United+Kingdom+UKXX0079:1:UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
