Don't know how much longer Dan T will be out but I would've thought Dickson would make a swift 28 day offer to Lewis Kerr before someone else grabs him.

I meant BZ not BM!

Yeah hope he’s okay. His health is all that matters but I bet he will be gutted if he can’t make the next GP as I think he will be looking to close in on BM this year.

As a Lions fan I'd be disappointed if we didn't come away with a win. Kerr and Howarth will hopefully be able to offer some advice on bike set ups having already ridden there. Interesting that the Foxes have paired together two riders who have yet to ride the track.

The league already has Ben & Zach…… Too many Cooks as the saying goes 🤨

Clubs are always telling us that one of the main reasons for early call offs is flying riders in. Now if all clubs had their own private jets……….I’ll get my coat😔

Perhaps the next Jason Garrity is out there just waiting for an opportunity?

You certainly have to be dedicated for this game. All that travelling and behind the scenes preparation for 4 maybe 5 minutes racing!

Car stickers? Hope they have plenty. I can just a fight breaking out between two Ford Cortina owners over the last sticker in the track shop 😆

I think you are right about the R/R & guest scenario with home and away meetings. If Dan is going to be out for any more than a month, I wonder if Dickson has thought about bringing in Sedgmen as a short term replacement? I think has away scores might be a concern though.

Massive blow if that’s the case. He is currently riding at No.2 but I don’t think it’s unrealistic for him to be second in the team averages before too much longer. It’s always difficult to get cover for riders on the up having an average below their current form, so hope he won’t miss too many meetings. Early days I know but I’m starting to have second thoughts about Gilkes. Love watching him, a real trier/racer, but is his injury record down to bad luck? Continued injuries will bring is technique/ bike control into question.

He blows hot and cold at Leicester anyway. Not many options on other rider availability, particularly at this late hour. Unless they can persuade Zach Cook to travel back with them it looks like R/R.

Palm Toft now replaces Sedgmen according to the Lions website.

Yes, strange. A former Aces rider, but on current form …..? It is a reduced facility because of the reasons for NKI’s absence but Jye will not have been the first rider they approached. As we all know, it is difficult to get anyone to work on a Bank Holiday Monday 😀

Lions to win by about 12. If Sedgy and Klindt bring their gating gloves it could even be closer based on their record at the track. The Foxes are at Belle Vue earlier in the day, will that take it’s toll?

I know someone who swears an awful lot. He is a six foot four University lecturer.....Try telling him he's neither big nor clever!

That shouldn’t be the case, but you may be right!

When the team line up was confirmed before the start of the season, I was delighted that Gilkes would be replacing Joe T, as I thought that Joe unfortunately cost us some very important points last season and wouldn't win a race against the grading tractor. I've lost count of the number of chances Joe has been given with the Lions, but I agree, it would be harsh to let him go on current form. Didn't know he was using his brothers engine, is that the difference? I don't think that Joe has the same racing aggression as his brother, but seems to be a bit more on it this season. Is that down to confidence with the current engine?

Yes, he does, I visited him last week with three friends. When you get to the front door you have to lean across some stretched elastic to press the door bell. As the door opens, the elastic shoots up you walk under it and he welcomes you inside. Unfortunately we all tried to get through the door at the same time and fell over. He sent us back out again for another go.

Fricke did not set the place alight when he first arrived at Leicester, but he is a class act and will soon come good. He topped the league averages in the UK comfortably last season, enough said.

Was looking to follow this on the Updates site, but only the team totals are posted. What the hell is going on! Are the Comets riding pennyfarthings?Who is the star man that has managed a second place?

Looking at the first photo, Stead is about to wade in with his biro. The pen is mightier than the sword? 😄

My 50-40 prediction was pretty close, just one point out and the winning/losing teams the wrong way round 😂😂

Despite what you say, I still think that it’s unlikely that they will slip up again at home this season. They’ve had their arses kicked tonight and their Aussie contingent won’t like it!

Me neither! Talk about an all round team effort. Beating the Tigers in their own back yard is some feat. Dickson was saying that they were the strongest team in the league, which I agreed with. Bit early in the season to say that is a statement win, but hats off to the Lions. My prediction for tomorrow was for it to be light in the morning, hopefully I’ll get that one right!
