Couldn’t get tonight, but it was clearly another mauling.

I’ll be there next week and hope to see a competitive meeting with some good racing. Oh, just checked the fixtures…. It’s Newcastle!

There was some cracking racing tonight, some of the best I've seen at Leicester, great stuff!

Despite the result, I'd still expect Scunny to be decent at home. Often see you lot build a team for strength at home and end up getting some batterings away. Why else would you continue to sign the likes of Lambert.

I wish somebody would tell me why we do ?

I'm starting to think Leicester will score 60+ most weeks now! Birmingham were weak without Ellis, but that was a full strength Scorpions side they thrashed!

Leicester is my top for the league as I can't see them scoring less than 50 points at home every meeting as there just to strong & I hope the diamonds can get at least 35 next Saturday but it's a big ask going off Leicester's last to results... But you never know

Bit early to be judging scunny as a #### team just yet imo

Dissapointing result last night of cause, but it was our first meeting of the season - and we really couldn't have wished for tougher opposition, and at Leicester, a track we never peform well on. Leicester already had a couple of meetings so was less race-rusty.

There wont me many if any teams go to Leicester this season and pick up any league points imo. Scunny will improve i'm sure!

Teams getting hammered away isnt necessarily bad for their business to be fair...

Putting together a team to win at home most weeks, and compete closely against the better teams, isnt the worst plan in the world to save money but also keep your income at its optimum.. 

Conversely. I hope the "too strong" teams that have been put together, that will batter the others at home and win a fair few on their travels, (by some big margins too I would think),  have enough to keep paying out the big money their riders will be earning...

Workington the classic example of big home wins, and (even though unexpected), big away wins, costing them thousands...

And lots of big home wins can not only cost a lot but also can REDUCE attendances as "weak teams" visiting can sometimes get a swerve from some of the patrons.. 

Especially mid to late season if play off spots are already 100% secured, meaning some matches as pretty much "dead rubbers" given no relegation fight for the opposition..

As much as I dislike scunthorpe and enjoy seeing them get stuffed I'm sure they will improve and be in and around the playoffs especially when jake allen starts firing I rate him highly if he doesn't then they are in trouble. 

Yep agree there ,hasn’t rode much at all as stayed in uk over Christmas, this makes a difference   for sure,season isn’t won in April, scunny will come good sooner than later
