Lions manager Stewart Dickson’s Rider of the Year was Sam Masters, whilst skipper Max Fricke took the Supporters’ Club award. Luke Becker, who along with Richard Lawson, was racing in Germany on Saturday, was named as Most Improved Rider. What planet are people on? Surely Lawson wins rider of the season ! And becker most improved? HE dropped half a point on his average . Totally mind boggling

Not a bad side just needs a strong reserve to makeit play off challenging. We already can guess Oxford will be strong, Ipswich, Sheffield and Belle Vue are almost certainly play off bound again so pressure is on for another decent season

Everyone has been giving him so much stick it's great to see him interview like this. He does acknowledge that he crashes and falls alot. One post on the Lions FB page has Vinnie riding and everyone commented on how he would hit the air fence and he took like a champ. I'm sure the Oxford fans aren't getting to him one bit.

Looks a great side imo
-
I haven't seen the photo but it would peedle me off seeing that. I know he's not from Leicester but surely common sense prevails. I think his main focus is the youth side at Leicester, like how he's put in the mini training track in the centre green. Time will tell if he puts money in the club for new grand stand. I know he shared the drainage costs with DH and the Bates when the club was sold. He has also paid 2 years rent up front. If that's keen on the kids developing then surely moving down a league would be the perfect scenario but I highly doubt that's going to happen.

I spoke to Vinnie about a month ago and confirmed he's had offers from plenty of clubs but not from Poole yet. This was a while ago though so things can change. He wants Poole

There was only going to be one winning and that was Poole looking at the team line ups. Poole are deserved play off winners. That team is stacked full on talent. Having Lawson, Brennan and the cook brothers who are all Premiership standard riders was always going to be the difference. Even if the ref made the odd bad decision (which I haven't seen) it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. Vinnie will have a bad one crash one day, I've watched him plenty of times at Leicester and everyone knows there that he is reckless on the bike. I hope he takes on Bombers advice and tones it down a touch. He is a fast exciting rider who just needs someone else to tell him to calm down a little. Having said that he is very young and clearly loves racing . He does have a bright future in the sport he just needs to control his bike better. Seen him crash enough times at Leicester to support my claims. Anyways congradulations Poole! The KO Cup final is going to be tasty for sure.

I love Nicki but that's only because I wasn't a fan years ago of speedway. So all I've seen is the racing highlights and fights he's had with riders. Pure entertainment. Obviously other fans who have watched him over the years will have different opinions. On the other hand I've spoken to Vinnie quite abit and he's nice enough. His dad is alright too, but on the track sometimes I've had to turn away in fear of another crash. I think he's hit every fence panel at Leicester.
-
I wonder if this announcement has changed building plans, not just for the brummies but also everyone else's. I imagine Brennan is getting a phone call from every club in the Premiership
-
Pretty much .

With GP lines up announced for next season does anybody reckon any current or ex GP riders will take the plunge to ride in Britian?
-
Was told a even two years ago we wanted him. Various sources say different things but I don't see him at Leicester how he's world number 2. Would love a GP star. Could really make the difference
-
Dudek is just an example but I agree they can be unreliable. Can't see Stewart Dickson taking many gambles again. Probably end up with Masters at 5 and the owners best mate Becker at 3..

We do need a GP quality rider at 5 if Fricke signs again, even if that makes a weaker middle order. Would like to mix it up this season. Strong 1, 5 and 6. Since we've moved up we've always struggled at reserve and at 5. I wouldn't even mind taking riders like steve Worrall, Erik Riss and Sedgmen to fit in a big hitter. Talks happened with Lambert, heard that a while a go now. Not sure if anything is still there but I doubt it. Would like someone like Dudek at the club. This team would never ever ever happen but it's the balance we've been missing 1. Fricke 9.14 2. Worrall 5.75 3. Jakobsen 5.71 4. Riss 5.55 5. Dudek 8 (assessed) 6. Sedgmen 4.79 7. RS
