IainB Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Anybody going? Looks like the sun shouldn't be a problem, rain could be from 9pm though. Will Josh Bates be taking the knee or attempting to in every race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bates misses the meeting tonight due a shoulder injury which seems to be an ongoing thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Oh that's a shame... Best part of last week's match was watching him try to stay on his bike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringitsneck Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Redcar without Wright makes them a little weaker and struggling with their R/R . R/R for Bates makes the Lions a lot stronger so it’s a 8-10 point win the the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R/R for Bates, gives one ride for Proctor (not at his best) and the rest of the rides to the Thompson twins. I suppose it depends on which Josh Bates was going to turn up tonight.

If they get more than zero from Bates R/R then that makes them stronger the way his form has been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Bates has scored 1 from 8 rides at home this year. Makes it a harder task for the Bears this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 About what I expected but frustrating as a Bears fan that the team is so inconsistent. Hard to get anything when Allen, Rowe and Sarj score 10 between them. R/R not working for the Bears (3 tonight) and R/R probably scored more for the Lions than Bates would have scored on recent form.Another good performance from Jordan Jenkins though, he’s been excellent so far this year. Lions are a strong team and Dan Thompson is looking a good prospect, was impressed with him at Redcar on Thursday. They will be right up there again at the end of the season. Sounds like some decent racing too (according to the updates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Good meeting, good crowd and all done in 100 minutes with both teams using RR with a fair few 2 on the trots. Dan Thompson is on fire round BP at moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I thought the Lions were going to be in trouble after the first few races and was very impressed with Anders Rowe who looked like he was going to go through the card after his first race but then the Bears seemed to drop off as the Lions raised their game from the gate and it was pretty comfortable by mid match. Why was there no victory parade after the match? Edited June 20, 2021 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 There was no victory parade last night as Leicester riders were keen to get home to prepare for Newcastle today and also rain was forecast from 9pm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebaker Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Sarjeant was very poor again last night. All this talk of him being on a "false" low average is tosh. He is a journey-man on a low average for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have taken 2 minutes to come round on bikes and wave to the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
