Leicester vs Birmingham 31/07/21


Recommended Posts

LEICESTER: Hans Andersen, Dan Thompson, Kyle Howarth, Nick Morris, Ryan Douglas, Joe Thompson, Zaine Kennedy.
BIRMINGHAM: Chris Harris, Valentin Grobauer, James Shanes, Ashley Morris, Erik Riss, Paco Castagna, Jason Edwards.

Probably the biggest question with this one is whether at the end of the season Leicester will have had any points they can pick up from this one expunged from the records.

That's the spirit look on the bright side.

Unfortunately I'm being realistic, judging by the crowd I saw against Redcar in the "big reopening"... no club can be sustained with those crowds. I was there supporting the club before you go any further

Fingers crossed that the Brummies will survive and that we take 3 points from them tomorrow night. After what has been a mediocre week where we had the potential of gaining 11 points but only managing 3, we desperately need a result and for it to stand, not just for our league position but for the good of speedway.

Hoping to be coming up for this one but the weather looks difficult to predict.  any updates on the meteorological front would be appreciated.

Where would be the best place for any call-off notification? Don't want a repeat of my trip up to see Lions v Monarchs

Anyone know if they accept C Cards at the turnstiles or cash only

I've paid at the turnstile using CC, there was a 50p charge though

Right, positive comments only... erm...

Heats 13, 14 & 15, more of that please! Heat 13 especially, proper Speedway! It was the best race I've seen anywhere this season!

Also Jason Edwards was very good entertainment value.

Just back and overall enjoyed the meeting with a few reservations.  Negatives first - too much gate and go in many heats and the Brummies are a side with erratic gaters at best. In the other heats I saw some excellent passing usually on the final bend. Leicester were far too strong in every department. Only Harris put up a real challenge, though Castagna and Edwards put in a good shift.

The track at Leicester seems a bit peculiar in my eyes. It seems too long and lacking in width (I don't mean the width of the straights or bend themselves s just the overall width. I can't see an outside line for a passing run. on it -  much passing seems to be on the coming out of bends. It's not the Brandon I was used to - or the Reading before that.

Still an enjoyable night. Leicester speedway people are very friendly.  My daughter, who used to accompany to Brandon in her teens was with me (on a visit from Netherlands and wanted to see some racing again) commented that there seemed more female supporters than she remembered at Coventry. I also noticed a good number of teenagers too. Leicester must be doing something right! Anyway, I'll say the important words - I'll be coming back.
