lionking Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Anyone got any idea what the line up for this is ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 In history I've always associated 'Pride Of The Midlands' as being an individual event staged at Monmore Green. Did Leicester have to get permission off CVS to use this title? Cheers Lefty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenGauntlet Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 In history I've always associated 'Pride Of The Midlands' as being an individual event staged at Monmore Green. Did Leicester have to get permission off CVS to use this title? Cheers Lefty Leicester staged a Pride of the Midlands individual meeting at least as far back as 1963, so I don't think Wolves have any real claim to being first. I think all of the Lions riders (at least those that are fit) will be riding, plus former Lion Sergey Darkin, and others that should be confirmed later today. Jari Makinen was due to take part until he suffered a broken leg riding in Finland. I think Thomas Jorgensen and Henning Bager were mentioned on Saturday.

ballinger Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Line up as drawn and announced last Saturday : 1. Thomas Jorgensen 2. Henning Bager 3. Sergei Darkin 4. Kevin Doolan 5. Nicolai Klindt 6. Adam Roynon 7. Simon Nielsen 8. Jari Makinen 9. Ashley Birks 10. Joe Haines 11. Lasse Bjerre 12. Kauko Nieminen 13. Jan Graversen 14. Patrick Hougaard With 2 more to be confirmed. Obviously Makinen and Birks will be replaced in the line up, and Simon Nielsen is also subject to fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 No Kauko Nieminen. No Ashley Birks and No Jari Makinen. Be surprised if Simon Nielson is there. Sergey Darkin ( The Russian Rocket ) is there so is Ricky Ashworth. Oh and the sun will be shining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Don't you think the meeting title is somewhat misleading or is the word pride supposed to represent a gathering of Lions Edited July 18, 2013 by barrow boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lion Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is the actual line-up a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is the actual line-up a secret? Don't think so. Just had a look at Alan's info on the Lion's website and he reports that since announcing the riders and doing the draw during the Newcastle match last Saturday, Kozza Smith, Jari Makinen, Ashley Birks & Kauko Nieminen have all been forced to pull out. Now in are Ricky Ashworth, Jake Andersen & Roland Benko who is an 18 year old Hungarian currently doing the tracks. There are however still places to be filled.

It would appear you may be able to add Haines to that list now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
