And Dave Howe.

they probably have the former Cubs manager for this one , and of course he will know better than everybody else , more than likely be a few more changes as well if it is , local lads from Scotland in the team ,

Makes you wonder if they had known Gomolski was going to do the SEC ( I think he was a late inclusion), would they have kept Wolbert instead of releasing him & ditched Gomolski. He would have still fitted average wise.

Kim Nilsson riding in SEC meet tomorrow. Should he qualify through, he'll also be missing for the Wolves match on the 20th.

 

Great planning all round

It does seem strange that they announced Graverson and Howe who have proper Leicester connections and then replaced them with Hall (Who most Lions fans can't stand) and Matt Williamson I wonder if it came down to money.

What the reason for that? I can't remember him doing anything other than giving his best at a difficult early time for the reformed club. Wasn't he even made to reluctantly attend a meeting he couldn't ride in because of a wedding (recall him in his suit in the bar afterwards) Surely being the ex-captain of the Lions is a "proper" connection?

I seem to remember a Leicester rider not turning up as he was still at a wedding ?

I think what might have upset some of the fans was because when interviewed he said that he would much rather be at the wedding.

Not good news for Leicester Kim Nilsson has won the SEC meeting in France tonight so that will be both him and Gomolski missing from the Wolves meeting on 20th May with current rules say no Premiership guest or RR just NL or under 4 Championship replacement

Fans won't pay good money to watch a weak team turn out,I feel for those who have bought season tickets and paid to see a competitive Leicester team.

Leicester must now try to rearrange this fixture or seek to obtain some sort of special arrangement with the BSPA. It is not fair to expect many to attend such a farcial match. Don't clubs still get fined for fielding understrength teams now?
