I notice Ben Barker struggled last night and tonight but had a crash at Plymouth on Tues where potentially could have hurt his shoulder. Wonder if he picked up an injury? Did he get interviewed on BSN?

Just barker; cruising through the year, lions solid throughout,can’t win a league with 2 top heavy lads,lions showed how to deal with this,lions looking good at mid season ,will be hard to beat at home ,Allen and fricke have track knowledge now,kemp would be another bonus

He didn't score well at Leicester last season with Plymouth so probably a track he's not keen on

Was a pretty decent meeting last night, the result was never in doubt once we saw how King, Rew, Barker, Hume & Thompson were riding.

My gob was smacked when I heard Chris Harris say that it was an honour to be captain of the team and it's something he takes very seriously... coming in the very next match after he decided not to ride for Leicester at Peterborough I found a bit of a p155 take!

On a positive note, was easily the best crowd of the season so far, with it looking to be up there with the Saturday nights of recent seasons.

I genuinely thought Ippo were going to be title contenders at the start of the season with their big guns pulling them over the line in 13 & 15, but with almost no support recently it looks like it may be a shorter season for them than I thought

Pretty sure an FIM qualifier takes precedent over a Premier League fixture in any event, but this was a late re arranged match so Harris is hardly at fault for this one

In our Captains mind maybe, it's not compulsory to ride in is it?

But Leicester agreed the date at short notice knowing full well Bomber was riding in Germany. Perhaps he reiterated what an honour it is in light if comments like yours? You are like a dog with a bone when something gets up your nose!

I can be... I had let it go, until he said he took it seriously etc. Don't come on the PA telling me that you take the captaincy seriously when you've just elected not to ride for your club. I agree the rescheduling was unfortunate but a captain of a club who took that captaincy seriously would only have made one choice

Not turning up for an FIM meeting is a 28 day ban.
