  1. The trouble with R/R is that it's OK when the team are riding good, if somebody gets injured during a match or a rider is having an off night it can all come unstuck pretty quickly, seen it many times. Like you say maybe in hindsight it would have been better not to have chosen 2 riders the rest of the league had already turned their noses up at. Of course we also don't know what budget the manager is working to
  2. Had a nice little thing going on with Fricke at number 2 but has had to be moved around to cater for the alarming form shown by Cook (sorry to bring it back to him), also said he'd received some crap news from Aussie a week or so back, maybe that's effecting him a little bit also?
  3. I'm not sure what the absolute crap is? All I've read is he's riding crap and not scoring any points, both factually correct
  4. I've also got to say, he may not be everybody's cup of tea off the track... but Woffy was pure class tonight on it, right up there with Emil for me around Leicester
  5. Left after Max James hit the air bags (hope he's OK) as I could see the rain coming in on the radar (even though the Leicester promotion seemingly couldn't, but don't get me started on that!) And I was absolutely astonished to find the gates locked as I wanted to leave... WHY? It certainly wasn't due to a capacity crowd (was pretty good though tbh, Saturday night speedway, who would have thunk it?)... but just what were the Leicester promotion hoping to gain from keeping people out of watching what was effectively a free match and maybe repeat business? I despair sometimes, i really do
  6. I see Dicko and the rest of the team have gone missing again after the meeting with only Max Fricke coming out to make the draw. Had half an hour to fill as well
  7. It's a sign of the times we live in I'm afraid... tonight, and I'm not making this up, we're being told over the PA, to keep to the left of the footpath on the way out of the stadium... because of the stinging nettles! When I was a kid you'd be pushed into them for making a request like that!
  8. Riding professional motorcycle racing for a team is not a bloody therapy session... if he can't cut it he'll be binned off like anybody else in life
  9. Don't forget this year's Jubilee fiasco as well
  10. I'm a mile and a half away, we had a moderate shower around 2ish, should have prepped the track a treat, drying up nicely now
  11. Lovely, sunny, warm afternoon... some angry looking clouds knocking about though, hopefully they'll clear
  12. I think the truth of the matter is we're now a 5th place club with the loss of Morris's points ability at home, we may sneak into the pay offs but like you say unless those missing points are replaced we'll be straight out
  13. They reiterated over the PA several times during Lions last home match that Tai would be there on Saturday... didn't mention Tobi though
  14. So it's everybody else's fault? Smh
  15. Leicester is Council owned I think and then let out on a looooong term lease
  16. Sheffield do seem determined to use Connor Mountain instead of one of their big hitters at Leicester and allow both teams to qualify for the Pay Offs
  17. He does... Batch/Cook on the other hand...
  18. Morris & Harris or Morris & Worrall, not much in it the common denominator is/was Morris. It's hard to imagine any other sport where Morris could just skulk off without releasing some kind of statement or be questioned by the press
