Shame as the team chemistry should be really good this season. All the riders know each other well and on paper it's a good side. It needs more time to get going but I imagine Stewart Dickson is furious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather didn’t help but you can see the difference in attitude between the home riders and the Lions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 (edited) Two questions. 1. Is Rory Schlein always this pessimistic? 2. Do both Ben Cook‘s feet touch the ground when he sits on a bike? Edited April 8 by TheWellBehavedWorrall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a wolves fan this is what we came to expect at away matches the last couple of years so I think you better get used to it I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him single handedly getting a meeting abandoned at Peterborough a few years back when there was absolutely nothing wrong with the track, and listening to him over the last few meetings I can see exactly why. 2.

Saw they were 12/1 outsiders in the League betting. Only Brum were lower. Bookies don't get it wrong too often!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Massive credit to all the riders for getting 14 Heats done as well as all the track staff and co for even getting the meeting on. BV look rock solid at Home and they'll hand out more than a fair share of hammerings. Leicester need a double team change already if they're serious about making the play-offs this season, Cant have a weak reserve pairing like that and get away with it this season as the league is the strongest it's been in a good few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright, Fricke will be at reserve soon and then watch us go! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Lions had three race winners and just one heat advantage. Fricke was a massive disappointment on a track he should know very well and he is starting this season like he did last year. Fed up with hearing about conditions and set ups from commentary teams, just get on with it! As many have predicted, Lion’s undoing could be the strength of their reserves. On a positive note I thought the BSN coverage was very good (first time I’ve watched) and I actually enjoyed the ‘laid back likeable northerner’ in Paul Bowen. Couldn’t get Dickson to crack a smile though could he ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the rain actually made it half interesting!! I won't be bothering next time if there's any threat of rain before or during Could see in the first few heats some riders couldn't even turn the bike properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 For the aggregate bonus point, should the return match only take the result after 14 heats ? In this instance, it might not matter, but in others it may.. In a sport with such home team advantage, the extra heats (up to 5 if called off after Ht 10), could make a big difference....

Could it be considered to be the fault of the team that couldn't stage 15 heats so why should the team that can stage 15 heats suffer?

That would make it possible to lose both matches and still get the bonus point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
