Mr Bump Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Easier win for the Lions tonight than I expected. All the lads looked sharper & more determined. Solid scoring right through the team for the first time this season. Off night for Aarnio, Jorgensen & Palin cost Scunthorpe any hope of a point.

Doesn't tonight's score speak for itself? Yes, Scunny were without their No.1, but I doubt he would have scored more than Danny King tonight. Like that would have made much difference! For a team that ran up 63 points the night before, Scunny had little to offer. It summed things up when they were on a certain 5-1 in heat 8 until MacDonald wobbled and fell on the final bend resulting in his exclusion and a subsequent 3-3. One of their better riders on the night, but never really looked comfortable. A few people might be irritated by Aarnios return of 4 points after bagging double figures against the same opposition on the same track guesting for Newcastle a week ago. Although again it had no impact on the result, the timing of Scunny's tac sub seemed odd (heat 9) which backfired with a Lions 4-2. This will surely have been Scunny's toughest trip on the road, but they will need to go some to collect a few points to back up their solid home form.

Tosh1218 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 First visit to Leicester tonight ,really nice set up but how slick is the track unbelievable. We went not expecting a win and to be fair early on was a gaters paradise here’s my assessment of the riders Danny King. excellent guest Simon Lambert missed the gate on first two rides but all effort Theo Pyper hated the place and you could tell Tero Aarnio expected a bit more from him tonight to be fair Tommy Jorgensen again one of our better riders on the night Macca all effort and signs of a revival after these two meetings Jordan Palin a poor night to be fair and looked like he didn’t like the track Now I won’t be over critical as this riders have balls to race for our entertainment and I respect them ,plus it will take a very good side to go to Leicester and take something this year . Let’s all be thankful to be racing this season and we go again Wednesday at Birmingham one last point not impressed with the tractor racing the water bowser every 3 to 4 heats really prolonged the meeting , so tapes up again this week and support our boys as good as we can , just think what Kent’s fans think of there efforts this last week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsFan Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 I thought the meeting was efficiently run, riders were coming out for the next race almost as soon as the previous one finished. Only one re-start I think, and all over in 90 minutes or so, including a 10 minute interval. Slightly disappointed in Jorgensen and Aarnio - I think he's ridden at Leicester as often as Josh Bates this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track was in far better condition than it has been for a long long time and the match was completed in 92 minutes with a 10-15 minute interval... on a lovely summer's Saturday night, with a healthy crowd, with many good races, it was one of the better nights at Leicester Speedway. Perhaps the performance of your team has clouded your judgement? Things looked up for Scunny with King and Lambert heading for a 5-1 in heat 1 until "Ans" Andersen managed to pick Lambert off. So 75-15 went out the door from the start Personally, I'm not sure "Ans" is a number one these days, hope he proves me wrong but I'd like to see him at 3 or 4 (if the rules permit) Edited July 11, 2021 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsFan Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Pretty sure the rider with the highest average has to be No 1. Douglas was due to be number 1 I think until we signed Andersen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScunnyDan Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 That was one of the better meetings racing wise I've seen at Leicester in a while.. As for Scunny, it was pretty dissapointing.. Kingy, inspired choice of guest, Lambo all effore as per.. Pijper I dont think has had a good meeting there.. Aarnio 2 lasts due to TP getting in his way.. Tommy da gun, all effort, his points doesn't reflect the effort he put in.. Big mac, all effort for little reward and a couple of trips to the bouncy castle.. Palin, one of them nights... It's ok going undefeated in the league at home, but if we keep performing like we are away, quite frankly, we don't deserve the playoffs... Onto Birmingham on Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid not, rider averages are one of speedways mysteries to me. I just keep my eye on the averages on the SGB website, but it's full of asterisks, greyed out figures and ifs and buts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An asterisk means an assessed average, and the greyed-out figures are for guest purposes at home where a guest can be used that has an average up to 5% higher than the rider being replaced. I've not seen any 'ifs and buts' on there :-) Edited July 11, 2021 by NeilWatson Typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
