Leicester Lions 2016

Well the good news is Bjarne and Mads have signed for other teams, so won't be giving it nothing, tootling round at the back. If lakeside don't have Lawson as their last rider, I'd be happy with him at second string. Hopefully Wozniak at second string too if we can find a couple of heat leaders... Not sure I can see anyone from the list published by the bspa signing for us though

yes, it was a tongue in cheek remark, as soon as I read Illa, I instantly thought of the Lions favourite back in the days... :D

 

C'mon DH, let's hear what plans you have for the 2016 season...

Well looking back at the opening post of this thread, and DH's own words about the way he takes the club forward being dependent on decisions made by the sport's (for want of a better word) governing body and his hopes for it moving to a more professional approach, and a more level playing field, I am surprised he is still running Leicester or that they are still considering taking part in the Elite league next season.

.....or he could have decided to stick two fingers up to the bunch of muppets in the BSPA and go ahead with a team which doesn't include any riders from the HL list and carry on operating on Saturdays in some kind of renegade mission. If that's the case it' ll mean no Kenneth Bjerre or Greg Hancock for Leicester:-)

Both the Hammers and KL are more than welcome to the 2 riders they have signed, best of luck to them both, I don't see them pulling up any stumps between them.

Everyone wait until the European Leagues start up, then it will be Guest City, Rider Replacement Road, as the mediocre Europeans drop there BEL teams for the pots of fools gold available in Europe..

It's going to be who emerges strongest once the Euro Chaff has been sucked from our shores to the fools gold of Europe......

Fair point though. Who can you trust? Not many, if the past two seasons is anything to judge by. The two Poles have now proved their loyalty, but anyone new, who isn't based in the UK, there's always going to be that element of uncertainty. Swindons team is now 100% UK -based. Others are majority Uk-based and where there are 2 or more non-UK's (Wolves) the riders involved have a good record of loyalty either with that club or recently at other clubs.

So for Leicester the likes of Stead, Lawson, Barker, Summers, Fisher are probably the best bets to avoid the disruptions of the past two seasons from happening all over again.
