With them in the side we have zero chance of winning anything. Far from it, if the team is good enough to win by 20 points at home most weeks, they can afford to lose by 18 away & win the double! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 I've noticed the Lions race their last home match on Aug 6th, then have to wait to race play-off / KOC matches. Meanwhile the Lion Cubs have home matches on Sep 3rd & 10th. So no racing at Leicester for nearly a month & as soon as the play-offs can start, there's two weeks they can't race while the NDL team do! The first week in Sep is likely to be for the P/O QF, but surely by the second week they'd be wanting to race the SF of either competition? Doesn't seem great planning, may end up racing into October / November lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, us Pirates will end the Lions hopes in the KO Cup so don't panic, don't panic! Edited August 6, 2022 by Turnip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 pretty much the same with most clubs why would they not bring play off forward and run them in decent weather rather than a wet september/october 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thought I heard a number of key staff are taking August holidays (yes really) which is why Kent NDL fixture couldn't be arranged until September 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the thinking was that as we progressed in other competitions these open dates would be filled, but at present its being delayed as other clubs complete their fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Lion Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 NDL meetings are arranged on 3rd & 10th September because that is the Polish middle & bottom tier play off finals over 2 legs. So Leicester would be without Nick Morris if his club make it. Â But if you look there are only NDL fixtures on those dates throughout the country.

Odd that, we Pirates are waiting for other club's to finally complete a fixture that was abandoned on May 27th. Wonder which 2 club's they are? Yes ponder ponder On ur profile....... 75mm can vary as to how far it is depending on the circumstances & consequences. Also varies on the size of the moving creature, the speed the creature travels & whether the creature is travelling vertically or horizontally.

I really hope it's the NL Cup final.

I'm talking about Leicester putting on the NLKOCF or Jubilee League final being raced in August, so there's not a large gap without racing.
