FishersGate Posted Thursday at 11:47 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:47 AM I can't believe what I heard on the Speedway Tavern podcast. Apparently Leicester will be competing for the wooden spoon with Oxford. Some birmingham fans are clearly over rating there side.....hopefully Monday changed there minds.

SJA Posted Thursday at 12:08 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:08 PM My prediction for tonight is a comfortable Lions win but by less than they managed on Monday night. Has the draw for the semi finals been made yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that allowed? There's a stream on https://www.leicesterlionstv.com/ and they have an archive stream's section, so you can buy the steam after the event aswell I'd imagine.

Thanks for the information, had no reply from the club at all, bloody rude. I will look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just Brummies fans, quite a few predicted a poor season for Leicester. But I will agree some Birmingham fans clearly overestimated their team too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler42 Posted Thursday at 09:06 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:06 PM I thought Birmingham were a tad unlucky tonight. Heat 13 changed the tie. Some bloody good racing though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted Thursday at 09:18 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:18 PM I wasn’t well enough to attend tonight, so watched the stream. I can’t recall seeing a better meeting than that at BP. Every race had something! Hats off to Brum for having a real go and probably would have nicked it on the night if not for Zagar’s misfortune in heat 13. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:24 PM Glad Birmingham put up a good show tonight, Management have worked hard over the winter and it wouldn't be nice to see a repeat of 2024 every week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have done them good to nick am away win so early in the season especially after the spanking they took at home on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit, I thought the guy previously had an attitude problem with the Lions track but he well and truly put that to bed tonight. I thought he was superb. Change of subject, but how long will Dickson persevere with Hagon? The RS priority is to outscore your opposite number at home. When he gates he’s easily passed. If he doesn’t, he’s not capable of passing. Was Dickson put under pressure to retain him from last year? Regardless of any politics, the lad must be on borrowed time. There might not be obvious better replacements out there, but when you struggle to score anything, who else would be worse? The likes of Craig Cook and Drew Kemp have had more than one chance under Dickson, so why couldn’t Joe Thompson have another shot, unless those bridges have been burnt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else is left on the RS list? I don't remember Joe Thompson being particularly better than Hagon in his last spell so not sure that swap would be any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:17 PM Better meeting tonight than any last season, some great passing mainly by the Brummies and some quality team riding by the Lions. Are we really sure it was Zagar in those kevlars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
