FishersGate Posted September 23, 2024 Report Share Posted September 23, 2024 If the track is sodden then I don't think it evens it out. Like Phil said, Belle Vue wipe the floor with Leicester last time it was wet. Let's hope the Lions can make good starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking away any form I think these are two well matched teams and its all about the next 30 heats, as per the semi final id be very happy taking a 12 point lead into Thursday, 10 is par, 8 and below Leicester are favorite's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand So the answer to ensuring that speedway survives and thrives is to design it to suit Gen Zedders or whatever they're called, with their shortened attention spans they should be catered-for. Reduce races to one lap, with electric powered bikes, introduce online race prediction competitions via Tik Tok or whatever, and run races in blocks of 6 with track grading breaks. Sorted!

FishersGate Posted September 23, 2024 Report Share Posted September 23, 2024 Belle Vue are favourites for sure but I'm such a proud lions supporter this season.
