Anybody know about the streaming service, Im away for a couple of days and want to watch it on Saturday. 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.

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.

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.

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.

I thought Birmingham were a tad unlucky tonight. Heat 13 changed the tie. Some bloody good racing though.

I wonder why Zagar didn't appear in 15? 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.

Potentially lost them the match, maybe his bike was knackered and he wasnt confident on a second bike?

Can only assume that he didn’t have the confidence in his second bike? 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.

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.
