robert72 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Is it time to offer Bjarne Pedersen another chance? Also how long can Norrie stay in charge ? Something needs to change before Saturday to convince those who walked out early to give it another go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Only so he can practice out there. Are you living in cloud cuckoo land !!!! In the Polish Extraleague each team is allowed 3 non- Polish riders- Torun Have Hancock, Holder and Vaculik in 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Should Leicester consider replacing Seb Ulamek with 2 Premier League top dogs such as Simon Stead & Ulrich Ostergaard in a position share scheme such as the one Lakeside have been allowed to use with Richard Lawson & Edward Kennett who are both declared as sharing position 4 in their team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 It is a difficult situation for Leicester. All members of their squad need to be 'on form' if they are to be competitive and, as others have said, they look weak, particularly in the latter heats. Problems attracting quality riders are down to what? - a Saturday race night - management issues - there has been a number of 'falling outs' with riders Whatever the cause, there is no excuse for riders giving the impression that they are not even trying I for one hope they come out of their present situation - no one likes to see a team continually trounced - it isn't good for the sport.

Big Al Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Just noticed that Jordan Road Surfacing has disappeared when the stadium name is given. So I guess that sponsorship is no more. Also, find it a bit strange there appears to have been no promotion, so far, of the scheduled Sky match v Swindon next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was announced at the opening meeting that the sponsorship deal with Jordan Road Surfacing had come to an end & the stadium was now back to it's original name of Beaumont Park.

Gemini Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 wouldnt be at all surprised to see sky pull out of this ,they have cancelled 2 so far because of the chance of rain , cancel this one because of the chance of a whitewash Don't say we're going to have another 'Will they/won't they' be racing scenario like the Kings Lynn v Coventry match? Sky pull out so Leicester want to revert back to their usual Saturday race night and call the match off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Weather forecast for Saturday is OK at the moment, A cold front moves through our region during late Friday afternoon/evening, with rain on it, it exits into the north sea over Friday night, leaving Saturday to be cool, mainly dry with odd showers during Saturday day, dry for the evening, temps for Saturday range 8c to 13c, gusty winds during the daytime showers, calming down for the evening hours.. Next Wednesdays weather, I will have a look at the T144+ charts tomorrow to be able to give a broad forecast for that day.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Big Al- It's a bit early for the promotion of the Swindon match as still have a home meeting on Saturday where full details will be given and I am sure there will be an offer to try to get more fans to come to cheer on the Lions and Robins in front of the tv cameras just need some good weather now.

Teromaafan Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Although the season has only just started, as a measure of the strength of our top five compared with teams in years gone by, has any team previously (in any league) on any occasion, ever nominated their reserve pair for Heat 15? I think that Norrie was making a massive (but obvious) statement in the recent Lakeside meeting. Whilst everyone is expecting heads to roll shortly, as has been highlighted in previous posts, who is available/willing/better to bring in?

Whilst everyone is expecting heads to roll shortly, as has been highlighted in previous posts, who is available/willing/better to bring in?In 2000 Exeter put both reserves (Bobby Eldridge and 17yo Chris Harris) in heat 15 vs Glasgow. Exeter at that point had recorded 34 consecutive home 5-1s having beat Arena Essex 75-15 the week before. Chris Harris finished 3rd behind team mate Bobby Eldridge and Glasgow guest Scott Swain.

bornagainlion Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 wouldnt be at all surprised to see sky pull out of this ,they have cancelled 2 so far because of the chance of rain , cancel this one because of the chance of a whitewash could this be worse than the 2011 comeback season V Glasgow think only one of theirs didn't get in double figures 28-62 ??

beckettlion Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Suggestions that 'someone' has been sacked following last nights meeting. Safe to assume the implied person would be Walasek, but has there been any confirmation anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldace Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 No point sacking without a replacement in mind. Would Kenneth Bjerre be available and acceptable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 With 8 points from his last 15 outings, he would seem the obvious candidate. Almost anyone would be better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckettlion Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 No point sacking without a replacement in mind. Would Kenneth Bjerre be available and acceptable? I would be happy with Kenneth, as I reckon most of the fans would be.. but I would have thought we'd have tried him at the start of the season. If he wasn't willing to then, whats the likelihood he'd be willing to now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
