The only announcement I'm expecting for Monday is rained off And Thursday at Leicester raining as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only use guest riders from teams whose seasons are finished. Why would it be rained off when the forecast is dry? If the 50-50 chance of a morning shower is accurate, the track could be perfect. Take another look at met office forecast yellow weather warning ⚠️ sadly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part time glory hunters all come out of the woodwork at this time is the year I always wondered why league 1 and 2 teams could take 20 - 30,000 fans to the Wembley play offs when their average home gate is between 3-4,000, 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Weather forecast is constantly changing every hour, there is going to be some rain, but how much and at what time is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago BV favourties for me. NKI is on par with Ben Cook around the NSS and I'd say NKI would be stronger around Leicester tbh. Lidsey seems to have changed his machinery back so BV now have 4 genuine HL's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away fans in attendance being the biggest contributor... Never understood why the BSP don't collectively subsidise admission for away fans for every natch.. Hardly any attend now so harldy any costs incurred... Part of Poland's success is that tribal feeling with there always being plenty of away fans in their own section.. My Mrs is a stoke city season ticket holder for her sins and stoke subsidise quite a lot of the away travel to matches,some of the matches are practically free and also reduced ticket prices at a a lot of the games, Friday night 7 of the family went to the home game with hull and 4 of them went free, I didn’t go as I had painted a wall and needed to watch it dry but it basically is the sort of thing speedway should do, maybe not all the time but certainly to playoff and TV meetings Edited 4 hours ago by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different to another match at the same stadium as every week. Also, in the case of my local team, the home capacity is around 7,000 and was sold out every game in the second half of last season so nowhere to put any more fans even if they wanted to go.

FishersGate Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Belle have the better side but Leicester do have the second leg. Belle Vue riding Leicester is a harder task than Leicester riding Belle Vue. If that makes sense. Belle Vue are great at home but it's a racing track, there's always something for every type of rider. That what makes it so good. Leicester on the other hand is a gaters paradise. Leicester are great at gating but all it takes is for Belle Vue to get the set up right and they could have enough finish the meeting off by heat 10. I just lean towards Belle vue over two legs, they've been here before and won it. This is new territory for us. There isnt as much pressure, we are just happy to have made the final. Ofcourse we want to win it, but in Leicester entire history let's be honest, we have been absolutely terrible until Stewart Dickson became manager. Il be there on Thursday weather permitting and whatever the result it's been a great season. First leg BV 52 - 38 Lions Second leg Lions 50 - 40 Aces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
