From speaking to a few lions fans last night there some optimism that we can attract some big names. Robert Lambert was mentioned a few times. Although I'd expect him to be off to belle Vue. Everyone wants mountain back pretty much and most would like Richie Worrall. It's a mystery really. And..also nobody think Harris should be there . We love him but has never got on with the track one bit.

That's the one big positive for the lions. We have Stewart Dickson...he wouldn't agree to moving up if it meant an average team was put out. So atleast leicester maybe quite ambitious atleast. Stewart is no mug. I could see a grand Prix rider coming or the next basso ? Any ideas who could be available? I'm assuming some riders have already been spoken too if this has been the plan for a while

Wonder if the points limit will change?

Don't think so. He's getting better but not for prem

Don't think so. He's getting better but not for prem

Can't see Harris at Leicester unfortunately. Everyone loves him apart from the track

No idea how the team will line up but we can guess. I expect Dan Thomson at reserve next season in the prem. He would be a useful weapon at home and has improved this season. Just needs more experience. Not sure if Connor Mountain would stay again, he's an asset but not sure Dan n Connor would be strong enough at reserve next year. Definitely could see Richie Worral staying, he loves Leicesters track and would be an ideal number 2. Not sure if Nick Morris would come as he's been at Wolves and seems to do well there. Richard Lawson is a great shout. Josh Pickering would be decent too. Scott Nicholls would be a welcomed with open arms as well. But we really need a few big names to make this work . It's a huge gamble to move away from Saturday nights which proved successful on/off the track. So the team has to be good to keep the locals happy.

No idea. I'm only guessing but Dan Thomson and Connor Mountain could be at reserve . Both assets . Then Richie could come back as he loves leicesters track. Then god knows!! This can only work if the team is good

I think he will stay with Berwick. He's had an immense season. Only a few other clubs I could see him going too.

God Glasgow are rubbish. One rider missing and it all goes belly up

Fancy a Poole win by 15

Not good if your a wolves fan

Masters is awesome ain't he?

Track is great tonight .

Hope so. But just a small amount to water the track and make it it an even playing field. But forecast is fine if you believe anything the BBC says !

I'm hoping Edinburgh make the gate just to get some good racing. A master's and Pickering super show but I somehow doubt it

What a fantastic comment to read. I was hoping so much for a close meeting so Saturday night at the den would have been a mega atmosphere. Connor Mountain has been consider this year but at the British final and last night he found a 2nd gear from somewhere! I feel sorry for Edinburgh fans. With that team they have you'd have thought they would have atleast drawn on the night. I hope they are back at the tapes sooner than expected. They always build good teams and have passionate fans. Scottish speedway clubs just seem different to English ones, don't know why just seems more historical and the fans are super passionate. Just different folk Im guessing! I hope there is a proper send off meeting for the monarchs sometime before it gets flattened. I'd certainly be tempted to make the trip up!

Didn't see this result coming. I had Edinburgh to win actually, fair play to the lions for a massive response. Kind of makes Saturday night a little disappointing now but I'm not complaining. I hope Edinburgh make it out the gate tonight so I can see some racing .

Going for any Edinburgh win by 8 to make very interesting Saturday night

How do they work out averages for riders stepping down to the championship? So for example if jakobsen dropped to the championship what would his average be?

I think that's a small reason why we picked them . Our riders seem to go well there

I can agree with that mate. Morris hasn't done the business away from considering his average is what over 10pts now? Howarth has been immense and worrall has done his job . Feel sorry mountain as he's been riding at number 2 which is always difficult. And dan Thomson has been great this year holding his own in the main body

That's only cause he started well. The last few months he's been really struggling. If he didn't start well he would have been dropped. He's only good at home. I like him but for his development a move is needed. If he starts next year in the team I will back him all the way but he's way too comfortable on his home track only. I hope he goes out Friday night and smashes in a maximum to prove me wrong !

Well done to the Poole pirates. They were simply awesome. What a team they have! My concern for the lions is the mentality of the team...we've took some (not many I know) beatings away from home...soon as it goes bad it's almost like we give up! Like last season at home against Poole they seemly just thrown in the towel. Same in the knock out cup this year and last year. I can't see us winning the the play offs if we just give up ! Sort the mentality out and we will be ok. It's typical of leicester folk though to get abit moody and depressed when things go wrong in all honestly! Heres to Friday and Saturday night ! COYL!

Also 4, 5-1s in a row! Talk about throwing in the towel. Bunch of bottlers
