barrow boy Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Who will go then, Norrie or Mads. Didn't Norrie say the other day that if one of his riders was fit enough to ride overseas but not for Leicester he would quit if the rider was not sacked. It would seem that Mads Korneliussen rode on Sunday abroard, made himself unavailable for Leicester on Monday but rode in Sweden on Tuesday.

If I was a Leicester a fan I'd be praying Norrie would go, what a repugnant individual he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I like Norrie i think he speaks from the heart isn't scared to upset the apple cart & i think he has Leicester Speedway interests at heart. He certainly isn't a yes man & thats what Leicester needed after Glyn Failure's term in charge . As for Mads it's perfectly clear he doesn't want to ride for us & is going through the motions . If I'm honest i can't wait to see the back of him & hope he doesn't return as a lion. I think the MUSTs for the winter are retain Doyle , Stead & Clegg but more importantly keep Norrie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 TBF, it must be so disheartening for a racer like Mads to turn up week after week and struggle to pass anyone no that track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve9 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Personally, I think Mads is the first rider in 3 seasons I would not want back next season, certainly doesn't appear to be trying to give 110% and even if he was he needs to be more consistent out of the gate then he woudn't have to worry about riding for third place most of the time. As for Norrie, nice chap but I think we need more professionalism going forward in order to compete in the EL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 You might as well let's Mads go as hopefully Mads will be coming home to Kings Lynn in 2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mads is a cracking rider if he rides on a decent track. Lynn is a better option than Leicester on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve9 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 on a decent track?????there obviously aren't any decent tracks in this country then as he has been pants home and away! I've a feeling KL were well aware of his divided loyalties between british EL speedway and his overseas comittments hence releasing him in the first place. You can have him back though as soon as your ready! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry must be a good track You make a fair point though, he's generally been a bit crap every where looking at the figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry must be a good track You make a fair point though, he's generally been a bit crap every where looking at the figures. According to my records he averages 7.13 at home & 5.86 away for the Lions. He has dropped 0.46 off his staring average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 From what I have seen of Mads at home meeting at times he may just not have bothered turning up. He just had not got his heart in it. I just hope that he is not included in the line up for the Lions in 2015, if they had any sense they would tell he that he can stay away from the last 2 home meetings, as he is more concerned with his riding at home and in Sweden. Sorry Mads you started off well what went wrong with you. As for Norrie I like him he calls a spade a spade, no pulling puches when he comes to his chat at the end of a meeting, if a rider has been rubbish then he lets them know about it. Just hope that they don't give the call to Mads for the sake of Norrie. That is unless just what DH hopes. That Norrie will stand down if Mads turns up on Thurday after calling a sicky on Monday night. To many overseas riders have been doing this year. Lets make it clear to them if they sign over here then they ride over here, if they pull stuff like this then get rid of them and don't let them race over here again. Full stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Wow mads is a good rider ok the lion had a bad season but look all the team changes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethelion Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I will be most surprised if Mads appears tomorrow,even though he is listed in the team. I, like most of the other Lions fans who have commented on here have been disappointed in Mads. He started off ok, but then his form dipped & only the home performance against Coventry really stands out lately. And for an rider like him who knows all the elite league tracks well, to only average 5.86 away from home is pretty poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) According to my records he averages 7.13 at home & 5.86 away for the Lions. He has dropped 0.46 off his staring average. In his defence, most EL 3rd heatleaders have seen their averages drop and a few 2nd heatleaders too. To prove my points he's averaged more than PK, Kylamorkpi, King, MJJ(form his few meetings), Cook, Barker, Kennett and Schlein despite starting on a similar or lower average Edited September 10, 2014 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Lost miserably. See below for report from Lions website. Belle Vue 55 : Leicester 38 Posted: 09 Sep 2014 09:09 Leicester’s hopes of rounding off their first season in the Elite League with a win away from home never came off against an in-form Belle Vue side who won the match by 55 points to 38. Apart from the first two heats that were drawn the Rapid Solicitors Lions best spell came between Heats 9 and 12 when they shared the points with the home team. Nicolai Klindt was the Lions highest scorer with three wins, one of which was for double points, and Max Clegg impressed on his old track. Scorers Belle Vue 55 points: Matej Zagar 7+3, Michael Palm Toft 9, Scott Nicholls 11+3, Richie Worrall 8, Craig Cook 12+2, Paul Starke 5+1 and Lee Payne 3+3 Leicester 38 points: Jason Doyle 3, Sam Masters 8+1, Rohan Tungate 4, Nicolai Klindt 13, Simon Stead 1, Ben Hopwood 0 and Max Clegg 9 Meanwhile, the Lion Cubs went down 49-41 at Kent in the National Trophy and needing to win by a 22 points margin to reach the final the result brings to an end their involvement in the competition. The Cubs pressed the home side and at one stage they were level towards the end only for the Kings to pull ahead in the final races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
