Leicester Lions 2017


Recommended Posts

If Dickie The Gater was Leicester bound and due to Coventry not running, if thats the case. and Leicester decide to drop him for a Non UK rider could he appeal to the relevant Government department as a UK rider shouldnt be put out of work by a foreigner doing the same job ie Kenny The HighVis Greenflash Gater

wasnt Eddie Kennett involved in a similar situation a few years back

He isn't out of work. He has a job at Glasgow.

I think Lawson wou;d be solid middle order signing for the Lions.

 

He would be a heat leader even with his 8+ old PL average that he is using at Glasgow.

 

 

Danny King will go to Belle Vue if Coventry don't ride

Instead of Cook, Fricke, Worrall, Worrall or Zagar as only three or at best four of those will be back at the Aces so why would they want King after one good performance on a wet track.

Danny King won the British Championiship (well done and deserved on the night) on a track with all the rain and heavy shale that suited him, any other track and conditions and he will never win again

You mean, he would never win it again.. And your critical of me.. I can also play at that game..

What did King do in the WTC in June on a dry track?

Not bad really considering the calibre of riders he was up against.5pts from 4 rides,and one of those were a tapes exclusion.He beat Ljung,Lindgren,Grajczonek and Kasprzak twice.

So a month since the bspa confirmation with full details on management, race night and structure in early January.

 

Since the we have had Dave Darcy confirmed as promoter,that's it.

 

DD advised on 4 January that priority is sorting the team out and has in interviews advised he is pleased with the riders he's looking at signing and would choose these riders anyway.

 

So no manager, no race night, no management structure and no riders. All we know is Richard Lawson thought he was coming to Leicester but isn't and that the lions team building will depend on the Coventry situation as they have riders with contracts already and we could pick up those contracts.

 

So who is making the decisions at Leicester? DD at one minute happy with the riders he was looking at but those discussions seemingly on hold pending Coventry. Is the decision on riders coming from bspa, buster or DD?

 

In that regard, deadlines come and go, further deadlines provided with the looming prospect that Coventry don't officially run as the Bees.... but Leicester become a quasi Coventry set up.

 

Does the bspa have a liability to the Bees riders who have signed a contract?
