I can almost see a Hollywood film being made about it! Be the most unbelievable film ever! You know Leicester might actually get to 50 on their own. We have 3 riders who have never rode at KL. And 2 of them in H2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear yesterday that they are due to have a practice around tomorrow lunchtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! So it would... my real point is Poole need to engineer it to be level going into heat 3. It's the only morally right thing to do to make the best of a bad situation. It'd be great sportsmanship. I think Leicester would do the same if the roles were reversed Edited November 3, 2022 by iainb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Eck Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Grachan said: I have a question. Aside from the craziness of having this on a neutral track, what is the point of having a place called "The National Speedway Stadium" that provides brilliant racing and then - the first time it might actually be needed to be called into emergency use - having this meeting at King's Lynn? Calling the new stadium in Manchester the “National Speedway Stadium” was one of the sweeteners offered to Manchester City Council to encourage them to fund the project. It was never the official stadium of British speedway but the name has stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gesture like that would go a long way to repairing the damage done to the sport So your asking Poole to frow the meeting, that would do the sport the world of good . I doubt Leicester would want to win it like that Edited November 3, 2022 by Arthur54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I just hope it's a decent meeting that will be good for tv and worthy of a final. Some of us Pirates will remember winning a final at Kings Lynn before, Nick Morris rode for us that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I’ve never heard such nonsense it’s not Poole’s fault ,and if people are honest on here none of us would want our teams to throw anyone a bone really some people talk rubbish, if it was my team I’d want them to go for the jugular from heat 1 so Leicester can’t get there track ready and for that Poole should be penalised I can’t believe what I’m reading. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the horrendous journey home with many road closures and had to do a motorway awareness course for getting a ticket for doing 56 in a 50 on the M25 at 2 am and not a soul around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
