IainB Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Leicester throwing all their promotional might at this one and finally give it a mention on the website with little more than 24 hours until tapes up LEICESTER: Nick Morris, Connor Mountain, Kyle Howarth, Dan Thompson, Richie Worrall, Anders Rowe, Joe Thompson. BIRMINGHAM: Claus Vissing, James Shanes, Stefan Nielsen, Ashley Morris, Josh Auty, Ben Morley, James Pearson. No Adam Ellis... again! Is he frit of Leicester or something. He's just "unavailable" this time unlike the lies that were spun last time. Was quite looking forward to this, probably give it a miss now in favour of the Ben Fund at Peterborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Birmingham not be using the 75% ave rule, Poole & Glasgow used last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't answer that as i'm not part of the Birmingham management team You could also ask the question why Leicester's Management are desperate to run a KOC Meeting opening night against a weakened team instead of a challenge meeting or Individual like most clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because 1. They would have to pay for both teams making break even much higher 2. Individual Meetings at Beaumont Park have been poorly supported in the past and lost moneyh.

My point exactly, the rule was used twice last year, once for a rider who hadn't ridden yet (Glasgow) and once for a rider who never arrived (Poole).

Gambo Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm led to believe that Leicester were happy for the 75% guest to be used, but Birmingham were refused the facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hoping for some decent racing tomorrow. I think Brum will do well to keep the Lions under 55 points though, to make the return leg interesting if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 No wonder speedway is a mess. Here's our great signing you've been waiting all winter for and by the way he won't be riding in our opening meeting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rediculous that different teams use different rules - only in Speedway eh! Rules should be made simpler not more difficult to understand for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
