Looks like that Marshall lost his job at the tapes as it was the other Marshall that brought them to the tapes in the next race 

Or we alternated all the way through the meeting as we have done for the last five seasons.

PLAY-OFF PICTURE - HOW IT WORKS

– The quarter-finals will consist of the 3rd v 6th placed team and 4th v 5th placed team, the top two teams will go direct to the semi-final.
– The team who finishes top will have the pick of the quarter-final winners in the semi-finals.
– All ties are over two legs, and any aggregate ties will be resolved by the Golden Heats format.

I have a new name- the invisible poster :D

Edinburgh must be looking to replace castagna surely? Winning heat 14 and celebrating like won world championship not good enough for the senior 2nd string IMO

Agree. Would Sedgmen have worked as a replacement average wise? That ship has sailed obviously but we’d be stronger with him in the line-up certainly.

IMO he does seem to come across as a bit of a cock.

A very competitive meeting. The Monarchs deserved a point.

The Lions tail does seem a little vulnerable now, particularly if one of the heat leaders as an off day, they may get away with it at home but over two legs I think it could be a struggle.

The big danger for me are Plymouth, with a likely semi final of Glasgow v Poole in the pipeline.

Well for arguments sake it's Leicester Poole Plymouth and Glasgow last 4, Leicester got a doing at Plymouth and Glasgow so you'd imagine they'd be picking Poole. Not entirely sure on rule if Poole finish 2nd if it would be allowed or not though

So if Leicester 1st, Poole 2nd and Glasgow and Plymouth make it through the QF. Who would Leicester choose out of Glasgow and Plymouth? If Glasgow is chosen and Poole get Plymouth, think I'd rather Poole come 3rd, hope to get through QF and face Leicester! 

But might change my mind yet, depends how we do at Plymouth on Tues.

I'd imagine for their TMs travelling allowance they would choose Glasgow :D

Would be an interesting scenario, Leicester probably be hoping Plymouth or Glasgow lose to Edinburgh or Redcar/ Scunthorpe.

Well Edinburgh did knock you out of the cup, so if you met again that would be interesting! ;)

Although I'm assuming realistically Glasgow will finish 2nd, so if we can stay in 3rd and Redcar or Scunny finish 6th be happy with that as we won at Redcar and only lost by a point at Scunny, although both still to visit Poole this season!

Was at the Lions Den last night and Richard's sign language skills are ever improving, good lad is our Richard! :D 

Lions vs Monarchs what absolutely absorbing meeting with plenty of action and if it wasn't for Richard's snapped chain while leading heat 1 the result would've been on the edge of a shock away win.

A good show from the NDL lads and an expected cricket score for the Cubs. I always have to question as to why they call them the Cubs? Surely the Lionhearts would be a far better name but my suggestion was ignored by the the powers that be at Leicester! Max Perry, that lad is extremely impressive.......take note :t:

Back down Wimborne Road for this liddle Turnip on Wednesday :t:

Don`t get me wrong- i know nothing !!!

It is also of some interest ;) that the match for Rawicz in Rzeszow is a 1pm local time start(12 noon UK). Is it possible to ride Saturday evening in UK and be in Rzeszow for a Sunday 1pm start ?(apart from a private plane :))

So the good news- Pickering got there in time.(possibly from Luton to Lublin flight)  Masters went all the way there for a fitness test and also rides. :)

And if Ed Kennett can get over his injury woes they'll be quite a formidable outfit

The 3-3 in heat 1, if all subsequent scores had followed the same pattern, would've meant no T/S allowed, therefore no 1-5 in heat 9.

Swings and roundabouts. Or chains and, er, something else unchainlike :unsure:
