Could be lions bound or brummies

Harris at 6 is a weapon to King's Lynn. If he signs. I know people are saying ' well he's still riding against the oppositions heat leader ' . Doesn't matter that much. Harris may only win heat two heat but still can have a big impact. Harris can have 5 + rides a meeting. Heat 2 we expect him to win so there's 3 points. Even if he gets 6 rides only 2nd and 3rd places it's better than nothing. 3,2,2,1,2,2 equals 12 pts at reserve for exampleat home. 12pts from your number 6 is great.

What else are we going to do when there's no speedway?
-
King?
-
I've heard nothing but speculation about sedgmen. But I would like him at 6. He rode brilliantly at 2 partnering fricke last season.
-
No idea if it's true.
-
Heard a mad one that it's bewley
-
That would be a decent side. I've heard all sorts of rumours. I'm convinced Fricke, Becker and now Howarth are coming. Already retained Hagon. I'd want sedgmen back at reserve. We've struggled at reserve all of last season. I'm sure Douglas is off but haven't heard anything to support that other than rumours. Same can be said around Lawson and Masters. I don't want Becker back personally but if he does sign we need a strong 5 to support Fricke at 1..
-
Would take Howarth back. If he get his form back when he was with us in the Championship then it's a welcome addition
-
The Leicester track is different. Not really a racing track more of a gaters paradise. Having said that alot of top riders that visit leicester seem to like it. The riders that do go well at Leicester always say the trick is to attack it and not be scared carrying more speed into the corners. Pretty much every top rider in the prem rides it well. It's just the less experienced riders that struggle. Can the track be re shaped? I think it can but it isn't happening anytime soon.
-
I'd say all tracks have home advantage but Leicesters and Ipswich seem to catch alot of riders off gaurd. Leciesters long straights takes time to get the hang of if your new to the track.
-
If they go for a strong top 5 with Gilkes and Flint at reserve it's still a play off side. Flint and Gilkes will find it tough but if everyone stays fit the Holder bros, Woffy and Picko should win them most meetings. Especially at home
-
It's all up in the air with Lawson. Dickson has hinted at him staying plenty of times but another source of mine is also hinting he is elsewhere. Who knows. All part of the fun I guess!
-
Don't think we would. Although the entertainment value would be top notch. Stewart will go for a strong middle order again. We want a good number 6 and 5 and that does mean weakening the middle order, which I'm fine with. Fricke and a rider like Bewley would be fantastic but I reckon Masters will end up at 5. Stick Sedgmen at reserve and pack out 2,3 and 4 get a 8pt number 5 and it's a better side than last season and has alot more balance to it.
-
Ipswich would mad not to sign Dan T again on reduced average. I'm sure Leicester want him back but he doesn't even live local anymore.
-
Sheffield are super smart and cheeky for getting Flint at RS. He's had a poor season at RS but we know he can do better. Hagon is OK for me at Leciester. I think him and Stewart get along well. I don't think it makes a huge difference with the finishing order unless one of them suddenly springs into a main body rider.
-
If he is off to Oxford it does make me wonder who the Lions bring in at 5. Either a new foreign rider or going for strength n depth. Douglas could even return but I highly doubt it
-
If they could pull that off then that's a decent team.
-
Now there really is no excuse for Tolley. He can start to build a decent side. If this next team is pants then God help the supporters.
-
I wouldn't have him back but I think Dickson will
-
1. Fricke 2. Howarth 3. Lawson 4. Becker 5. Masters 6. Sedgmen 7. Hagon Just my guess. Can't see Dickson making too many changes and he's like riders who are settled here
-
Wozniaks last average was just shy of 6 I think. I imagine he would get a re assessed average around the 6 point mark. I can't see Dickson going for any foreign riders, he liked riders he can trust that will probably rule out quite a few names mentioned already. I can see Fricke, Masters, Becker, Hagon, Lawson? , Sedgmen and one other.
-
I know Sam was offered to manage Leicester years ago but wanted a huge salary. I don't dare post it on here but it's nearly twice as much as Stewart Dickson earns.
-
The Cairns are close with Greg Hancock who as well all know mentors Luke Becker and William Cairns. So Luke will be a lion next season. I can see Sedgmen signing. He had great start to the season riding at 2 but lost form towards the end .
