Leicester Riders Super Thread

Too bad.

The 3rd quarter definetly killed their chances of winning the game. They just didn't have the numbers - I think the announcer said they were essentially playing a six man bench.

Bad Weekend for Riders

Saturday lost to Newcastle 72-77

then Sunday lost to Plymouth by 14 points


London Towers on Wednesday night?

 

[Hazzman]

8

One off Quarter-Finals
and
then Finals Weekend.

I remember the days of best of 3 playoffs for the Riders. Espically playing Leopards at Granby Halls when week night it was rocking.

If a few results go their way, the Riders might make the playoffs for the first time in 5-years. I think they are away to London tonight and home to Guilford tomorrow night.

Well I left this thread alone, the club has suffered another player walk-out Joel Burns, then two of our squad had to go to Melbourne for the Commonwealth Games. Riders have been shite over that period but having began picking up some valuable wins. Friday, hammered the Towers in their own court.

Riders to the Play-Offs, I hope its a home draw.

I was hoping to go to the game last night, but I couldn't make it.

A Win Over Guildford on Saturday secures sixth spot.

I think in the week, the last game of the regular season is Scottish Rocks.

But it doesnt matter as it fixs put a date on Sunday, 4pm versus Sheffield Sharks, Come On We Can Beat Them!

 

[Joe_Fox]

play offs then?

 

[Hazzman]

play offs then?

Yep, quarter-final at Sheffield on Sunday, 4pm.

Scottish Rocks beat Riders 75-62 last night. It didnt really matter.

Yes in the standings but we did end up winning the play-offs one year.

 

[Hazzman]

Sharks 101 Riders 85

Score today.

Appartently, match of the season and best atmosphere all year at Sheffield.

 

[Joe_Fox]

Are we out now then on is it a best of 7 format?

 

[Hazzman]

We were out straight off game.

Newcastle Falcons won the play-offs in the process doing a quad of trophies. Cleam Sweep. They are attempting to get to Europe but need better players and more dosh. Most of the players want to leave aswell.

Seen Riders' very own Tony Holley at Tesco, he has very droopy lip.
