Adam Roynon (7.07)

Jan Graversen (4.91)

Simon Nielsen (4.08)

Very strong top 4 and you find it difficult to find a better top 4.

 

Little bit weak at the tail but if those riders can make some improvement on their averages then yuo could be looking at a Championship challenging team.

Well done Glyn, looks a good team to me. I think both Roynon and Bjerre have the potential to be fighting it out with Nieminen as Lions No1. Along with Doolan it looks a great top 4. Graversen and Nielsen should be solid at 5 and 6. The one question mark i'd have is Lewis at No7 but with under 4 points to play with he's probably worth a second chance and hopefully he'll turn the obvious efforts of last year into a few more points this one.

Lewis Blackbird and Lewis Kerr will be double up at 7 as both ride NL.

 

The great thing about this side is that all these guys wanted to ride for Leicester they work with me to sort the deals out under the new pay rules.

To build the team in 7 days is fantastic effort from the riders to work together.

Graham Drury said the worst decision of the entire AGM WAS TO NOT. Admit Leicester

 

Peterborough threatened to walk if Leicester came in. Birmingham and. Coventry definitely wanted them in.

To admit Leicester, ALL the current promoters had to unanimously agree. Given the choice of seeing O

Peterborough walk and a winter like the one two years ago,when they and Coventry threatened to walk, the current promoters opted to keep an established Elite League Club rather than admit a new one.

It's possible they were motivated by self interest as most of them probably wanted to keep on the good side of Peterborough as they probably want to sign various of the Peterborough assets. Cynical but highly likely.

 

Whichever way you look at it, PETERBOROUGH were solely and entirely responsible for Leicester being kept out of the Elite League

i think if you take away masters,karlsson and blackbird you have your team for 2013 why they would choose doolan over karlsson is beyond me if thats the case,doolan has been pretty poor at bp in fact pretty poor everywhere.

Mystic neb.

If Roynon can stay fit, I think we will be there or thereabouts and most have the potential to up their average.

Looking forward to 2013.

Oh and Mrs Elmo is chuffed Lewis is back.

Thought Fisher was coming????

Over the moon with Roynon. Fantastic signing and was impressive last year. Nemo, Bjerre, Neilson and Graverson look like a good solid team. Lets hope Lewis develops and gets the rewards his efforts demand and lets hope Doolan has found his confidence.

look at Doolan for Redcar at end of last season he was great again then

Hurricanes, I know. He wasn't good for Ipswich but then improved massively for Redcar. Hope that what ever he was missing at Ipswich, he found at Redcar and will come to us in good shape

 

This thing with Peterboro. What will be different next season? If they objected to it this year as they didn't want to lose any elite fans in Leicestershire, will they just do the same next year? Never bend over to those issuing ultimatums
