Happy Hunter Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Coventry in disguise? Some Lion's fans wouldn't like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman77 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 If you look on the Lion's website there has been quite a bit of support on Facebook & Twitter. Fans really need to turn up next Monday to show their support. I am not a lions fan but the promotion charging full price for a tv match will make many fans stay at home to watch it.

TonyE Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 It would be pertinent to remind folks that Kim Nilsson is a Lakeside asset and the latter are likely to be back in the top league next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodaman Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 It would be pertinent to remind folks that Kim Nilsson is a Lakeside asset and the latter are likely to be back in the top league next year. But he has already said that he would be happy to return to Leicester I wonder what the news is at Halftime. Could it be a team announcement for next season or even a big sponsorship!

Alan_Jones Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Maybe they've just found out about the existence of Leicester Speedway (2017) Limited, with Mr. & Mrs. Chapman the directors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) On the face of things, the lions may be sorting themselves out. 2 year sponsorship deal with Watling JCB. Would like to see Leicester kick on now and start challenging. Edited October 16, 2017 by poolebolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Monster Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 On the face of things, the lions may be sorting themselves out. 2 year sponsorship deal with Watling JCB. Would like to see Leicester kick on now and start challenging. To be fair, Leicester had a good team and had they not kept loosing their double up riders they wouldn't have finished bottom of the league. We always knew it was going to be a tough season due to that. All in all, it was about as good as we were going to get. I enjoyed watching them, anyway.

Robbobee Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 palm toff must be on your shopping list after last night ? Couldn't agree more - Michael Palm Toft ought to be one rider on the Lions radar for next season ... he rides Beaumont Park well!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Couldn't agree more, there were a few lads putting themselves in the shop window last night. With the early investment coming in from Watling JCB, (very welcome I might add), let's hope they can secure some signings before others swoop-in on the best riders. We've the foundations of something really good here now let's push-on and make the most of it. Can't wait for 2018! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 It would be pertinent to remind folks that Kim Nilsson is a Lakeside asset and the latter are likely to be back in the top league next year. I was thinking that, but if Lakeside return so could AJ especially if it is regularly fixed race nights. If Ipswich return to the top flight also, one would think King would stay with them. Guess no-one knows until BSPA decide what they are doing in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 The continued and increased sponsorship by JCB is excellent and will help move the club forward both on and off track. It is going to be an exciting and interesting winter for Leicester fans with track work set to take place to bends 3 & 4 to create more lines and to take out some of the bumps that have appeared over the season. From what I got told last night Leicester have 3 riders names that they are keen to have and opened initial discussions with. Obviously not a lot can be confirmed until after the conference but the club have set a top priority of getting the No1 sorted as they realise this is where Leicester have struggled for the last couple of seasons. The have two good no2 and then good support riders in mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieIpswich Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I would go Palm Toft Eric Riss Kim Nilsson Kyle Newman Then basically build around that, if Ipswich don't go up then Hume at 7, Newman at 6 Riss, Toft, Nilsson maybe with Morris at 1 then if team limit is 42 you've got around 7 left so either get someone from Britain in or take a punt on an assessed rider just not Pawel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I imagine Kyle would pick Ipswich if they come up. Less travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim3751 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 What's going on? I watched the so called Promotion/ Relegation playoffs and Leicester won- easily. So what's all this stuff about Lakeside and Ipswich? If they are going to return what's to stop Sheffield from going up as well. I assume they do want to go up don't they?
