Leigh Lanham ‏@leigh_lanham 10h10 hours ago

Disappointed my time @casesrebels is over...Struggled with a few things just lately but that's speedway... All the best boys1f44d.png

Just seen this on twitter, but not seen confirmation anywhere else.
anybody know about it ???

 

Rebel fans have been suggesting it for a couple of weeks. Obviously Gary has a replacement just in time for the PO's.

Well I don't know where that has come from because it certainly hadn't filtered through to our notice!!! Are

you somebody that is on the inside and knows more than most ? The only calls for release we have heard is for Worrall !

You've obviously not looked in the right places - as both have been mentioned along with Greenwood.

 

Leigh started the season on fire and was our top rider for many weeks, but has struggled in recent times. No idea why that was as he even scored a paid maximum and his form dipped badly after that.

Rasmun Jensen ?

This was who I suggested last night.

I feel sorry for Leigh as he has done exceptionally well for the rebels this year & certainly not the team member that deserves to be dropped!

 

With my business head on Leigh has enjoyed good support this season from "Exeter" fans so the change will not good business for Somerset if they stop coming!

 

Good luck to Leigh where ever you find yourself, with a team or retired...............

 

Sorry.... Newport fans as well.

After all is said and done, Leigh Lanham was a late signing for Rebels this year due to certain snags with Holder and Dilger. He filled the gap that May was looking to fill and he did it admirably. It suited Rebels and Leigh for him to join the PL outfit. He gave it his best and was immaculately turned out both personally and mechanically.

He always had an encouraging or congratulating word for other team members and, for me was the fans idea of a stalwart team member. I hope Leigh finds another berth in a team purely for his experience and old school values and what he could offer in advice and example to more junior riders. Rebel Fans will always have an affectionate welcome for Leigh Lanham at the Oaktree Arena when he visits us, in whatever role he is in !

 

Cheers for now Leigh Lanham, like your father Mike, a true gent.

Gotta feel for Lanham, struggled last season at Sheffield, started on such a small average and put 2+ points on it and then gets dropped.. Now will find it even harder to get a club now his average is higher!

Hope he gets fixed up again, seems a top bloke.

I was in the bar after the Glasgow meeting when Leigh was being hailed after his paid maximum that night . How quickly things can change in just a short period of time .
