TTT

This would be way under the points limit so something's not right. How certain is a Riss return? 1. ? 2. Riss 3. Janowski 4. Wright 5. Tungate 6. Gilkes 7. Killeen (RS)

Wouldn't make any sense because Dan would still have meetings to put himself in the shop window for other clubs whilst making a few quid.

3 Something left. Vinnie Foord?

Speaks volumes that they don't really want Gilkes but might have to go with him unless somebody else becomes available. I wonder if they'll take a punt on Vinnie Foord?

Dan Gilkes not announced.

JT confirmed.

Not too shabby like you said but still wooden spoon contenders imo based on the 1-7 not featurning enough riders who have got improvement left in them.

You didn't get anything wrong, It's the SpeedwayStar who've made a natural mistake.

He's riding for Tarnow in 2025, SpeedwayStar have made a mistake so expect Matej at Birmingham in 2025.

I wouldn't worry about the wooden spoon, No chance Leicester finish last. Just going by the PR's you can tell this 1-7 won't last long before Stewart makes a couple of changes because his thought process behind a couple of these signings makes no sense with the expectations he's got in mind for them. They're very unrealistic. Talking about Cookie putting 1.5 on his average is top of the tree.

Assuming the top 5 were locks then surely the first option would've been Antti Vuolas? Sedgmen/Kerr wouldn't fit and Zischke (BV) Only other options that would have fit within the limit are the follwing. Palm Toft (Injury Prone) Mountain (Would've been signed because he's not rumoured for any Prem side) Milik (Not committed) Kemp (Been down that road already)

Strength in depth 1-5 featuring 5 riders who know the Armadale circuit well? 1. Sedgmen 2. Vissing 3. Thomson 4. Heeps 5. Castagna 6. Coles 7. 2.00

Stewart's not afraid to make changes and if Becker struggles early on and drops his average then I can see Stewart stamping his authority quite quickly with a team change or two. I'm not writing Leicester off entirely but as it stands it's not a play-off side.

Lightcap would be on a 4.00 wouldn't he? Batchelor 8.46 Zischke 6.96 Vuolas 6.40 Bowes 5.00 Etheridge 4.98 Lightcap 4.00 Foord 3.90 = 39.70

1. Batchelor 2. Bowes 3. Vuolas 4. Etheridge 5. Zischke 6. Lightcap 7. Foord

Defo Cook imo because Sedgmen or Kerr wouldn't fit if it's Douglas & Masters.

Could Peter try and convince Huckenbeck to ride for the Spires? German Connection and Riss is likely to be at No.2 for the Spires.

Stewart in the PR is basically saying everything I've said on here in regards to Becker. It's the make or break signing for Leicester, Could work out like a treat but it could also backfire drastically. We know what Luke's capable of as he showed it for a short spell this year.

What average would Jeppesen be on? 5.00 or 7.50? 1. Musielak 2. Jeppesen 3. ??? 4. Rew 5. Zagar 6. Vuolas 7. Edwards (RS)

Antti should be the No.6 considering he's signed for Workington again. Wouldn't be riding in England unless he was doubling up imo as the earlier rumour was that he wasn't riding in Britain next year.

They really shouldn't have wasted time in chasing Bewley. Now the Spires may not have a No.1 at all and they may only have two real HL's.

100% agree, Getting a No.1 really is make or break for the Spires.

Don't get too ahead of yourself, You still need fans to turn up.

Fair play to the management, That's a top signing.

It's really not a bad team, It's a decent solid 1-7 imo. It's just other teams rumoured 1-7's are making Leicester's look average on paper but as we all know Speedway isn't ridden on paper.
