Robbobee Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Ruthless No - common sense prevails I think ... 'ruthless' would have been ditching both Josh Auty and Erik Riss to be replaced by Kenneth Bjerre ( before Aces got him of course ) and Lewis Kerr. Kim Nilsson Lewis Kerr Kenneth Bjerre Kacper Gomolski Danny King Josh Bates Danny Ayres Now that would have been a good side !

Col Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) What a complete load of expletives. I am glad that King & Bates are being fully utilised by the leagues in their home nation, but gutted Lebedevs won't be in Britain this year. As far as I was aware he had signed for a Polish Ekstraliga so will be rarely used. I'm certain this change of Lions team is totally down to the confusion & controversy added to the inability of the BSPA to decide what average a SGP & SWC experienced Latvian should start the year as average wise. It is now clear that Ford & CVS think Lebedevs will be too strong a reserve for the GB Speedway Premierrthing.... ****s!

Joe Beevers Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 what a load of bullcrap.....thank God I never bought a season ticket....King is bloody useless IMO. Perhaps your getting confused with the footballer Andy King because I can't believe your calling the British Champion and a race winner at last year's British GP useless. Maybe you mean Don King? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney the robin Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I was really looking forward to seeing Lebedev's ride again but these are great changes for Leicester as a whole.Wolbert is no great loss an inigma in alot of ways and he would do no better than Auty/Riss.King and Bates are great signings great that we put our English lads first and this Leicester side will not be everyones whipping boys this year.

Bagpuss Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Great moves by Leicester to replace a rider who was never going to be there and an extremely inconsistent one with two Brits who will score well. Granted there will be fixture clashes but should mostly be able to get decent guests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Could be good for business too, with some bees fans looking for their speedway fix. Got to be honest I had a quick look at the fixtures last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 The lateness of the decision doesn't sound right to me. Surely this could have been done much earlier in the day and helped all the riders involves. I feel sorry for the 2 dropped riders but then again bringing in 2 British has to be beneficial to those concerned. Considering Coventry decision was made weeks ago, moves like this were spoken of then, but we wait till all press, race gear dates have been sorted. then it all changes again. Don't project the sport in a good light. at the eve of the season.... Obviously Leicester will be a better team from these changes and that has to be good, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Maybe Lebvedes can guest for the lions during the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 The lateness of the decision appears to be because of the extra dates for which the two dropped riders wouldn't be available only just coming to light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Maybe Lebvedes can guest for the lions during the seasonHe cant guest without a team place in Britain. What a complete load of expletives. I am glad that King & Bates are being fully utilised by the leagues in their home nation, but gutted Lebedevs won't be in Britain this year. As far as I was aware he had signed for a Polish Ekstraliga so will be rarely used.

Lebedevs probably more expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 He didn't say it was all Maud's fault, he blamed CVS too As conspiracy theories go that's a good un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 The late change in the team is due to Lebedevs informing the club that he would not be there for the opening meeting and for Somerset as he was required in Poland and also that Wroclaw have said that he will need to practice on Saturdays to be considered for the team until he can prove his form. I am very disappointed that he is not coming as think he would have been exciting and a good signing. Wolbert was just unlucky that the average fitted to make the change, he had also informed the club after signing that he would be doing GP and SEC Qualifying so likely to be some clashes too I also understand that the meetings that King and Bates misses will see good guests being used including some former Lions being Klindt,Paddy H,Lasse,Ludvig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idh Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Bates making Gary May look like a Saint Good move though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy 2 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 First match at home to Swindon King will be missin gas he's riding for Ipswich at Berwick. Harris would have been the ideal replacement but he is in action for Rye House on the same date against Wolves. There is also the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue which no doubt will also prevent Leicester from securing the services of a suitable guest. So all in all not a very good start is it.

proud panther Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Ruthless, but the right decision in my opinion if the riders dropped would miss matches to ride abroad. Next season, the BSPA should only allow riders that prioritise our leagues to ride here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
