Not even a seasons greetings message on the website....yet.

Expect it'll be posted at 23.59 along with news of the other 3 signings.

Did you miss this one, then? https://www.facebook.com/LeicesterLionsSpeedway/photos/a.340251566016627.73793.144722912236161/1014559918585785/?type=3

 

I'm not "on Facebook" but I easily found this on the Lions website

The way they are looking at the moment when the new averages come out it could see the number one slot being Josh Auty.

Simon Stead 6.70 should do well but they need a good rider alongside him.

If they were gunna announce stead they would have done by now. He's not gunna hesitate to put pen to paper if offered. Norrie doesn't want double up riders. Stead will unfortunately be a last resort. I'd rather have him race his arse off for the club but miss a few meetings, than some unknown quantity with questionable reliability and unproven in the league

Popped in to Sainsburys today only to find that there was sod all left in the vegetable aisles. Bumped into DH who said that the heat leader aisle was pretty much the same!

If he tried going to sainsburys on another day (changed the race night), he'd have found some riders down the heat leader aisle!

He'd have more chances shopping at Lidl or Aldi, but it might have to be food banks for his best chance!

Fair enough, thanks.

 

Perhaps the track can be put to more use. Stock cars and bangers, perhaps?

Nothing Against either of those things , But I think better bedfellows could be found . Stock cars and bangers to me , means concrete fences and track and equipment damage , besides theres not really room for a pit area . Just for speedway , by the time the fake disabled and minor celebrities have parked ,theres no room for the riders to park their vans , besides the locals would have a field day with noise complaints 30 unsilenced stock cars racing round and round and round and round and round and round :lol:

Stead would be great and hasn't hidden the fact he'd like to race for us again. Think most fans would have Simon back in a heartbeat, but the management didn't contact him last season (following a good 2014 with the lions). Would be a great fit for the lions- norrie always wants reliability, stead is one of the most thorough professionals in the sport!

yes one thing you can rely on Stead for is spending half the season injured

He's been to Netto and bought some goods that are past their sell-by date, from the bottom of the heat leader aisle. It's just not been announced yet.

Netto -a Danish company I think?

Sounds like he might have fished something from out of the skips round the back.
