I was working away from home for a few years and would regularly travel over from Warrington and Bradford, sadly now I'm back in Leicester it's 100 miles away, if i were less than 20 miles away I'd be there every week... it's the best speedway racing track in the world for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Terrible racing as predicted, heavy track and pretty meaningless meeting right at end of season, riders ain’t going to take any risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I really should make more effort, I know I'd enjoy it, I love the speed that they generate round there, it's exhilarating from the back straight. I'm only in Northwich, easy to get there really, I think I've become institutionalised, got too comfy, used to love getting wrapped up for Autumn meetings, BLRC at Hyde Road was always mid/late October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 So Wolves/Panthers/Tigers into semi? Sheffield haven't won a heat, I'd think that rules them out, Wolverhampton beat Peterborough 6-3 in heat 14.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Traditional head to head count back doesn't work (each pair on top in 1) but surely it should be the combined scores from the 3 heats Wolves have 10 Boro 9 and Sheffield 8..... Farce to look at it any other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
