What a load of crap the so called Premiership has turned into. Jan graversen? Hes hardly gonna get the leicester fans flocking back is he?

 

Proves what a state the league is when Somerset want Tungate as there number one , wasnt even their pl number one last season?!

 

What a joke

If we use him as our number 7, on a 4.00(ish) average he'll be competing with other number 7s and will almost feel like a homegrown rider to the Lions faithful. If our two brits are premiership quality riders, like Auty and Lawson who were heat leaders in last years premier league, i dont think Jan would be the worst (albeit, far from the best or most awe inspiring) signing

 

Don't be too sure that he'd be number 7 !

He was our number 1 when we won the league and finished top of our averages - Also rider of the year too ;)

If my memory serves me right Jan Graversen is a Lions asset so there could be some truth in all this as it would make economic sense.

wont break the bank in points money either 😜

Graversen announced at Somerset

 

Along with Paddy and Starke too by the looks of things? Be interesting to see who our number 1 is now, was expecting it to be Houggard again!

 

Chris Holder anybody? I'd love that, but suspect he'll be at Kings Lynn

Are there any decent riders left for Leicester to sign? :unsure:

 

Still plenty, that I could see riding for Leicester that in some combination could make a good septet:

 

Kylmakorpi, Nilsonn, Summers, Lawson, Wozniak, Thomsen, Auty, Schlein, Ostergaard, Palm-toft, Ludvig Lindgren (and then plenty of 2/3 pointers should they be needed for team building). This avoiding riders that are more than likely going to ride for Belle Vue or Kings Lynn

Wolves and KL to complete, then see what's left for Leicester presuming Belle Vue will be OK and have their 7 already lined up. Then a case of seeing which of those left over actually want to be with Leicester ( or don't have any options left).

Would Leicester have been better going into Division 2 and building a team to compete for promotion, develop more of an asset base and also re-employ Mr Graversen? Or should they carry on up the Khyber?
