robert72 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 The wheels are already in motion I hear to find a new sponsor on a nice positive note the last remaining rider will hopefully be confirmed later this week all being well Needs to be a big signing to keep the fans happy as the line up so far looks like another bleak season ahead. Any news on the visa for doyle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 What a blow to the Lions to lose the major sponser, so close to the start of the season, it didn't sound to promising on the Lions site with the ones they approach not showing any interest. Just hope that they can get a big name on board befor the start to the season. Also what will be the cost of all the new advertinsing whoever they get. Names on kelvars banners etc around the stadium, all the work done by the Lions with the advertising etc, was it worth the hastle for just one season. Get the paint pots and sewing machines out. Hope the last rider, that has been mentioned as it has been in weeks past actually comes to life this time and is a rider who is worth his salt.

SCB Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Needs to be a big signing to keep the fans happy as the line up so far looks like another bleak season ahead. Really? As good a top 2 as any, a couple of decent second strings and in Auty one of the best reserves. Baring disaster Leicester should do quite well IMO.

Shale Searcher Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 they learnt a lesson. Actually, Rapid Solicitors have been taken over, New owners pulled sponsorship, not sure about there other motor sports interests though... Perhaps someone else can enlighten us......??

Astill lodge lion Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It looks like the same thing happened with the Superbikes team Rapid sponsored, they withdrew sponsorship in December. http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/bird-hunting-title-sponsor-as-rapid-solicitors-withdraw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It is going to be a huge hill for all the motor sports that have lost the sponsership of Rapid to find new sponsers, not just The Lions. When you look at the superbikes the Lions are just small fry really. But the way the climate is how many big companies have the extra in the coffers to spend out on sponsering motor sport, the superbikes are looking for a far site bigger funding than any speedway club doe's. What is the chances of the Lions getting the services of Majic now that he has been given the heave ho by Poole, a good rider going to waste in my opinion as he rode his heart out last season for them. Not sure what happened there but I think it was more than, Poole are actually saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) It would take us 0.84 over the limit we only have 6.66 left to use. Janowski is a 7.50 rider .

Baring disaster Leicester should do quite well IMO.agree, though the last signing will determine whether they are genuine play off contenders. But can't see why they are being written off, outside the pretty much unanimous top 4 pick (bv, kl, cov and poole) I think they are arguably the best of the rest . certainly look stronger than wolves and lakeside imho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionking Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 That's not true that is certainly twisting his words to suit you agenda. What Norrie said is the lack of strength at reserve cost us matches which no-one can deny is the truth. Max Clegg was in the EL 1 or 2 years too early & Tom Perry just not upto it . This year will be much better imo who will NORRIE ALLEN blame for this years poor showing then now they've got one of the best reserves.last years disaster was all down to the young kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year will be much better imo imo also the reserves WILL be better this year,totally agree with you on that,however the crap mr allen said about max,tom and josh was imo no way to speek to young kids trying there best.At the end of the day it was supposed to be about helping the up and coming YOUNGSTERS,if that's how you encourage the kids theres no wonder british speedway is in the mess its in.Finally it was Norrie and david that picked them as with the rest of the team. hopefully one day all three of them will make it big in the sport (if there is a sport left) .best of luck to them this coming season.

Who said professional sport was easy?Tom Perry will never be more than a Premier League reserve at best,Clegg and Bates are still very young and have got a reasonable chance of making it.They might have all been trying there best but as in all workplaces if you are not cutting the mustard you get a bollocking or the sack!
