Happy Hunter Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I wouldn't get too excited about next season yet - too many imponderables at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainman Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Anyone hear what he said? I was out the back loading the van n didnt hear it.. what was said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Can we have a run down of what DH said from someone who heard what he said, because the exitment is killing me. Are we staying in the EL or going to fall down the pecking order and join the NL, to save cost of having to bring in far better riders than we had this year. Please Tell.??????????

mrcts Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 He said that due to major track improvements next season he would be recruiting riders such as Chris Harris,Darcy Ward and Lewis Bridger who can thrill the crowd by their fantastic overtaking manoeuvres. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Harris & Bridger bring off some good passes on the track as it is this season. Not sure about Ward! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_ren Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I saw Harris & Bridger bring off some good passes on the track as it is this season. Not sure about Ward! Obviously Ward isn't as good as Harris & Bridger then haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Obviously Ward isn't as good as Harris & Bridger then haha This is all tongue in cheek anyway but Ward has only scored 5 points from 5 rides at Leicester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Might be a big problem getting Ward if he gets banned as he should do by the FIA. So he could be out of racing for a good part of the season. What about a few tasty Russians, and a couple of the top Poles but he would have to change to a Friday to be able to get them to ride over here. Stuppid that we bow down to let the Poles dictae that riders can't ride here on a Saturday, when they are happy to use our riders that race here on a Mondays, the BPSA should make a rule the other way around. So that it evens the balance out. I think he realised now that he went the wrong way about picking the team, with riders that where never to EL standard, what we had bar Doyle was nothing better than a PL team.

Shirl Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Draw your own conclusions! What do reckon,is he a bitter or a lager man.? Going back to the original point,Chris Harris is always good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Chris is brilliant on a good day but total rubbish on a bad day. He seems to be getting more of the bad days now than the good ones. I personally think the best thing he could do is give up riding in the GP series, he is just not competative enogh riding in that series and it makes he look really a poor rider. Been also watching him ride in the Swedish league and the same goes there, is it just that he dosen't travel well, not sure what the answer to that is. He is still having some good wins over here and he has turned him self around this season, because last year he was looking like all he could hope to achive was dropping down to the PL. He has made a great come back this year, I am sure he still has another year or two left in the EL. Them maybe have a go at managing a team, I think he has the right attitude. The Lions must make sure that they get the right riders this year and not scrape the barrel as they did this year.. They were just there to make up the EL numbers and they had no way of finishing above the bottom places. I thinkt the management have realised the mistakes they made, but it was the first year in a new league and they had a lot to learn,Hope they have finally realised the mistakes they made and get a really good team together. A team that signs at the start of the season and riders that are the best they can get, plus riders that when they sign, mean to stay for the whole season. Not just use the EL until thier own leagues start abroad and then leave the club in the lurch. Hopefully if the management get it right, we will see a Lions team that will finish in the top four places and get into the play offs. David it is in your hands don't waste it by getting riders that are never going to score more than three or four points a meeting, Edited September 20, 2014 by weatherwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well done to Doyley into the GP for next season. Let's hope he is back in lions colours next season but I can't see it unless we change the race night. Probably back at Swindon ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodaman Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 There were a few carefully worded comments about the 2015 season from DH after the meeting against Poole. What can we read from them! Amongst other things, he said that the club was financial shape and he would be discussing with Yulia the way forward. He said that there were some things that he wanted to do but others conspired against him and Yulia. He said that there would be speedway at Leicester next season but whether he will be running the show or someone else we shall have to wait and see. Amongst other things, he said that the club was financial shape and he would be discussing with Yulia the way forward.

He said that there would be speedway at Leicester next season but whether he will be running the show or someone else we shall have to wait and see. Jason Doyle said that if he qualified for the GPs he would work with DH so that he could remain at Leicester. He also thanked DH and Yulia for their hard work in getting him his Permit at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Chris is brilliant on a good day but total rubbish on a bad day. He seems to be getting more of the bad days now than the good ones. Good. You won't want him then. So we'll keep the the rider with the 4th* highest EL average (with bonus points) for next season then *Not impossible after tomorrow evening he'll be 3rd as hes a gnatts ball behind Zagar.
