GWC Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 18 hours ago, gazzac said: Don't think he'll do enough matches to get an average, sure he'll be a reserve on 2.00 for Eastbourne next year and really needs another year in the NL, establish himself as a heat leader there, and then do a full season in both leagues next year. Having watched Edwards since he was 12 he needs to establish himself education wise and his speedway. Jumping into the current CL won’t do him any favours and probably do more harm than good.

stevethelion Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Richie Worrall off to hospital with leg in a splint at Poole tonight. Fingers crossed it's not as serious as it sounds. Hope Lions season isn't starting to unravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Typical - had concerns about Worrall when Poole's track was in a bad state - now it's been sorted (I believe) he gets involved in an accident there with a team mate. What are we looking at? Rest of season out? Would Nick Morris be eligible as replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie is 8.49, but drops to 8.25 on 1st July. The interview with Stewart Dickson on the Lions Facebook page says he will use guests for July, then see how Richie is progressing.

Wing and a prayer for the two Eastbourne cup matches then, and make sure of good guests for the two home league matches - especially v Glasgow! I don't know if there are any away league matches in July but there's enough of a cushion now to withstand defeats if there are any. Morris used to have a reputation as a Leicester track specialist, I can well remember him "doing" us a few times back in the old PL days.

I know that as the Brummies had a look at Jason when we made reserve change but Stoneman was preferred. Are you sure? I understood Jason Signed for Eastbourne last year?

That year we won the league carrying Sweetman, winning home and away but the resultant wage bill almost finished us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the confidence he needs,it's paying is what he needs.It's ridiculous that he has to take a break from the sport because he hasn't been paid.He's not the only one.Problem is for others if they say they refuse to ride because of non payment they are hit with a 28 day ban.

There seriously needs to be something done about clubs running and not paying the riders.it happens too often and nothing seems to get done about it.Why!!! Rye house still owe the riders from last year there money but are still running training tracks and earning money.ridiculous . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
