Big Al Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is glyn still the lions team manager/tractor driver ? That one's had me wondering for a while. Unless i've missed anything from the chief BP spin-doctor, theres been nil clues. The club official website still has him named against both jobs. Another case of something being "airbrushed out" and hope nobody notices it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert72 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 maybe that could be a job for nemo or magnus as its looking like they are out of work. Maybe DH & his wife will take charge of the team,seeing they have put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What are the odds on Mads Korneliussen at Swindon replacing Morris and KK at Leicester ? Would also mean Birks joining Swindon !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What are the odds on Mads Korneliussen at Swindon replacing Morris and KK at Leicester ? Would also mean Birks joining Swindon !! I'm sure KK's Polish club would give you odds somewhere in the region of 10,000,000,000 to one!!!

Why are posters having a go at Yulia Hemsley: you do not see similar abuse of Laura Morgan, Julie maloney or Ms Hancock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eye Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Why are posters having a go at Yulia Hemsley: you do not see similar abuse of Laura Morgan, Julie maloney or Ms Hancock. They're probably just jealous that Yulia is involved in a successful business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) It all sounds like if the boot don't fit try the other foot to me. They have done a preety good job of getting the Lions to where they are now in so short a time and all most can do is winge and whine on at that them. Just wish it was me who had the chance to be where they are now. From nothing to Elite League in less than a hand full of years back on the speedway scene in the UK. Not a bad effort in my mind. But there will be always someone out there that still likes to have a go at them. All the best for the coming season, I for one am not complaing. Bring it on.

Bring it on. it doesn't matter what league Leicester race in if the main product is no good people will find other places to go. Elite league is about someone's ego and not progress at the club. Why are posters having a go at Yulia Hemsley: you do not see similar abuse of Laura Morgan, Julie maloney or Ms Hancock. I don't see where I am having ago ? Just wondered who will be team manager next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 ljung one of best signings imo Well on the plus side he's durable, isnt afraid to have a go, and you can be sure that he's a trier. Seems to thrive on being busy, which he certainly will be in 2014. But over the course of a season and a half with Lakeside 2010-11, he finished with an average of 5.60. (and is now the "other side" of 30). However, that figure was probably dragged down a bit by his performances in 2010, when he came in halfway through the season and didnt really get going - and in those days the average was based on a lot more matches than is now the case. He was also quite inconsistent at home for Lakeside, but seemed to do ok away, especially in 2011. So as to how he's going to do in 2014 in the UK for Leicester, I think its going to depend a fair bit on how he gets on with the track at BP, which of course he doesn't know yet. If he finds it to his liking, he should average 7+ .......if not....hmmmmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrall Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Having seen Ljung riding for Sweden the other day on eurosport he looks a very useful rider and a good gater. I think he will stick a point on his average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim the whipper Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hello Lions fans and welcome to 2014 and the real world !! .Lets hope that in this new year many of you can stop making fools of yourselves by constantly praising david hemsley for managing to take Leicester into the League that year on year is begging for teams to join . it's nothing to shout about , any team whose promoter was foolish enough could have joined ,the Elite league and would have welcomed with open arms . so it's not an achievement that is worthy of any praise .

Big Al Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Is glyn still the lions team manager/tractor driver ? If Glyn isn#t going to carry on as TM in 2014, I think Joe Screen would be a good idea, especially to help develop the two young reserves, that's if he's not already arranged better things to do.

I know Robert bangs on a bit but he has a point: the racing at Beaumont Park is invariably poor. What's more, I am absolutely convinced that that is nothing to do with the shape of the track but its preparation, and as Glyn Taylor is one of the best in the game (Redcar has never been the same since he left) it suggests to me he was under orders to prepare slick, bald surfaces. The only consolation is that it is entirely possible that given that riders will be different for the new season so will the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy New year Jim. Though I guess for that to become true for you the Lions or more specifically DH will have to experience a spectacular failure during 2014! However for me 2014 is going to be a great domestic speedway year for three reasons 1. You will keep up with your regular posts that often make me smile (like this one) for the evenly balanced way you present the chips you have on both shoulders. 2. We will be seeing the top riders in the UK racing at Leicester on a weekly basis for the first time in over 30 years. 3. I will be able to compliment or complain about the team & promotion on this forum based on factual performance.
