justathought Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 You signed him.. Well not me personally. So who can we replace him with when there is a clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) If thats the case looking at the fixtures he may miss between 10 and 12 fixtures Lets hope he don't get a visa then. The moaning would be unbearable specially if we lose when he is missing Edited January 17, 2014 by TMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Does anybody no if there is any truth in the rumor that Alan Jones is giving up his post as the co promoter I heard this too but not sure how true it is plus is mr Darcy still involved ?

Big Al Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 If Morris does sign for Lions & Sheffield, & Sheffield buy him & become his parent club, they would have first choice with any fixture clashes. Looking at the fixtures released today, Lions have 7 thursday meetings, the same night as Sheffield ride.This means Morris would miss a quarter of the Lions league matches, that's also not taking into account any of Sheffield's away fixtures that might clash. Has much as i would love to see Morris at Leicester missing that amount of fixtures it would be a gamble to sign him as Lions would only be able to use R/R & the reserve pair don't look the strongest in the league. Thought i counted 5 Thursdays - but whatever, that would be a difficult one to get around. Not sure if Sheffield would be able to afford to buy him, and would be very surprised if Leicester could!! If he leaves, Swindon may have to settle for loan fees, in which case the question of who has first dibs could be even more complicated. Time to just sit back and wait now, same as for the Doyle scenario. Somerset created the problem in the first place and Morris made it worse by expecting Swindon who are entirely without blame to Re-jig their team planning to suit him , he agreed to ride for Swindon and they have built a team on the strength of that, so he should honour his agreement and find secondary employment to fit with what he has committed to , Keeping in mind of course that the situation with Swindon is entirely of Moriss's making Well i suppose he can always wash bikes as his "secondary employment" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 If Jason Doyle is granted his visa, because he is a doubling up rider who has first call on him when there is a fixture clash between Lions and Somerset Somerset get first call as he is a DOUBLING UP rider, Therefore he is a Premier Lague rider that gets to ride for an Elite League team when available. The only way Leicester get first option is if they sign him on a full transfer as Lakeside have done with Richard Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astill lodge lion Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Have got Doyle missing 9 home, 4 away & Morris would miss 5 home & 3 away if he signed. At least with Doyle missing we could get a guest. I think Craig Cook is free for a few of the dates & should fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Doyle will be applying for a Tier 5 visa. Good luck to him and his SWC cap from last year hopefully pulls it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astill lodge lion Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 He will miss 5 out of the first 7 meetings, so it's not a big problem if his Visa gets held up a by a few weeks!!!!
