A ORLOV Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Time is passing fast and had not realised this meeting is only a couple of days away. Leicester has probably strengthened with the adding of King and Bates and this should be a good testing meeting for both teams with new riders. There seems to be an issue with the track which I hope can get sorted out in time and does not cause the meeting to end up being a shambles. They need to seriously test it and cancel the meeting if necessary or it will do more damage than good. The track shape has at last been changed and it needs to be seen to be a success. Either team can win this but the individual scores of the riders will be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well Danny will be with Ipswich at Berwick for a start..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yes, three days to go to get the track sorted out so hopefully Glyn will confirm it's been tested and all okay by then. I did say I wasn't going but I'm sure on Saturday I'll change my mind as it's been a long Winter. Just hope I'm not going to regret that decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I was planning on going, but after the problems with the track I am unlikely to now. Belle Vue last year. Poole already this year. It just makes it too much of a risk to travel that way for what could turn out to be a load of old rubbish. It will certainly take testing of the track before then if I am to go. Swindon are in with a chance too, with half the Leicester side missing. Well, it is the first meeting of the year so you can't expect teams to have all their riders, can you!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Any problems and Doyle will lead the revolt so it's got to be perfect. Best to call it off beforehand if there is any doubt at all rather than risk another Speedway shambles.

CookieIpswich Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I think a Swindon away win to start the season depending upon which suitable guest is in place for Danny King. Doyle should be riding to at least a paid maximum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to call it off beforehand if there is any doubt at all rather than risk another Speedway shambles. Any news on how the Leicester track is shaping up? Damien Bates was on East Midlands News last night saying he was very confident the track would be ready, but looking at Saturday's weather forecast ( heavy thundery showers) , that maybe immaterial anyway.

Anzum Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Planning on coming up from Gloucester so would appreciate a local weather report mid afternoon Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennylion Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Klindt and Lasse Bjerre confirmed as guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckettlion Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Lasse guests for Auty, Klindt for King. I'd say we look a better team on paper than the Robins, but we will have no home track advantage as our riders won't have had much (if any) time out there at all. Also, Doyle is far and away the best rider on display, wouldn't be surprised if he comes out of this meeting with 15 points to his name. Hopefully Klindt carries on his good form of recent meetings back in Lions colours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 First meeting for both clubs so it will be interesting to see how both teams perform and the new shaped track. It is a pity that two Leicester riders have to be replaced with guests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigbo Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Absolute shambles already. What is the point of clubs naming a 1-7. Might as well pick 14 random riders a couple of days before each meeting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Weather forecast for Satday looking very iffy. If (very big IF) theres no clash with anything in Poland or anywhere else, may be worth delaying it till Sunday, much better forecast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
