Leicester Lions 2017


Recommended Posts

Being part of the original team in helping the fantastic set of fans and Mr Hensley in gaining planning permission for Beaumont Park, I truly hope a good promoter can be found to take the club forward.

 

I think it needs some one willing to focus their full attention on it and get the publicity and sponsorship it requires. So much potential and a really great set of fans. Good Jon

 

Jonathan would this be something that would wet your appetite?

I hear Klindt has gone to Poole

Inevitable that Poole would pounce for him on that average with Lions pressumably not in a currently in a position to negotiate. Starting to get a bit twitchy in view of the lack of takeover announcement news and the knock on effect of not being able to recruit whilst other teams seem to be pushing on with signings. Ever been food shopping at 5.00pm on Christmas Eve?

They won't use him after he gets an average in May/June, clashes with Danish fixtures will be cited else he will have a sprained appendix for any matches he needs to be at, that don't clash with his Danish fixtures. Mercenary. But a very useful rider on his average in this watered down League. I am amazed his parent club haven't taken advantage of this, they clearly have a modicum of integrity these days. Which they lacked in the early 90's.

2. Lawson 8.22

3. Buczkowski 8.43

3.19 left for a No.7

1 Hougaard

2 Wilkinson/Roynon

3 Bucksowski

4 Lawson

5 Wozniak

6 2 point reserve

7 Whatever is left.

I think mrcts is still living in the1980's. He probably thinks the CO is still in charge at Brandon & imagines it's payback time. :D

Are we not still in the 80's? Shame. John Titman was in the country last week, could still probably do a job for us at no.1...

I would Imagine trying to deal with Hemsley would be rather difficult , he's a couple of bricks short of a full hod , ,but at least it appears the mad witch he was married to is no longer in the picture ,so that's one obstacle out of the way for a potential new broom , If there are potential new brooms ,they need to get a move on . because all the good riders are getting snapped up . and a rebrand wont be successful without a team that can at least challenge for silverware , Lions fans must have had enough whipping boy teams by now ,

4 weeks since agm and nothing about the situation at Leicester other than a fleeting rumour and hear say.

 

Previously someone said that we had a number 1 signed. That would suggest that a promotion us in place and decisions are being made. Still nothing publicly.

 

Flagrag the person who tends to have a fair degree of inside information then seems to be suggest that the promotion issue is still live which would suggest that possibly there still is no one to make a decision and that riders or in particular a number 1 hasn't been signed.

 

Surely if a promotion was in place after all this time, then there would be an announcement of some kind.

GlennyLion- The promotion has been sorted and at least two riders have agreed deals with the Lions for 2017, So nothing to worry about Lions fans you will still get your regular racing and an improved track to hopefully improve racing

 

Thanks for the information Flagrag, don't suppose you know if/when this information will be brought to us by the club itself?

Cheers flagrag.

 

Notice you say sorted and deals agreed..which suggests everything is not finalised?

 

Any reason why it's all such a secret!!!

Uh? "sorted and deals agreed" - surely suggests everything is very close to finalization? Time required to finalise the small print and crossing t's etc? looking forward to the news breaking soon - thereby ending the rumor's and our frustrations/worries/etc
