As it stands at the moment, not sure who the Lion Cubs will be tracking, doubts over Tom, and Sarj, so Im going for another Stoke win.

one thing you can be sure of .it wont be any local lads , maybe Tommy fenwick fancies another try at speedway ,

Iv already said some time ago, i dont understand why Lee Geary has not been included in the Lion cubs line up, to me he was an obvious candidate.

can someone please help me

michael neale cannot ride in this meeting because he was declared in the scunthorpe line up at no 4 for 3 meetings to help the club out while they got there side back from injury but tom woolley who has a team place with buxton is allowed to ride at reserve for this meeting ?????

Probably because Tom was in the original line up so therefore in a 'declared' way if you will. Leicester probably had to declare 7 riders and replace them to cover unavailabilityas per NL rules. I don't imagine they would have been able to pick and choose for each meeting or it wouldn't have made it fair on the other teams in the Trophy

 

If that's the case then Neale would be guesting for Shanes. I don't think it matters if he is helping out or not. Neale is in another declared line up

thats fair enough tmw but the reason was given he was declared in a team so couldnt ride at reserve but tom is riding at the same no and the rules state any rider in a 1-5 cant guest at a reserve birth for another team so why one rule for one and not for another ??? whether tom was in the oroiginal line up or not if there gonna shout rules they should be for everyone ???


nothing against tom in any of this if you read this mate just frustrating my anger at the rules AGAIN

I suppose we will have to wait till we see who he is replaced with.

I said exactly the same about rules should be same for everyone and got accused of having an agenda with the club concerned. I'm not sure what the rules where/are regarding Leics trophy team but it does seem a little harsh. Maybe Leics have a declared lineup somewhere and that is where the problem lies in that Tom is in it and Michael isn't.

Lions cubs won this, 47-46, very good meeting, last heat decider after Lions 14 pts up halfway stage... Jon Armstrong, blew away cobwebs scored a 6 tactical ride, beat quality opposition at this level, decent crowd in as well.. Well done to all concerned..........

Hope Alex Wright is ok after trip to hospital..

honourable mention to Rob Shuttleworth

 

five falls in his first five rides, then a last, and then he won heat 14 to set up the last heat decider

I went along to this yesterday not expecting to much.

 

But, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Nice weather, decent racing and no Chris Popple. :t:

 

Defiantly be going again.

That is nice to read. The nasty crash in heat 2 delayed the match quite a bit and lasted longer than a normal match would do but in the nice sunny weather it didn't matter too much. A fairly decent crowd as well which is always good to see.

Max Clegg is certainly upping his NL game due to his EL experience and getting down into the 62 second mark shows the improvement that he has made.

Well done also to Cubs TM Dave Howard for managing to field a team after so many withdrawals due to various issues.
