All the low points limit is going to do is put second strings out of jobs! It's such an illogical plan drummed up at the AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's two signings from opposite ends of the skill/experience/age spectrums. But a good balance start to 2019 team building. Any chance they failed to mention to Scott that the Lions are racing on Saturdays in 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will be a couple of home meetings on bank holiday Mondays and at least a couple of home meetings on the alternative race night (whatever that is!). This gives a total of 30 dates for home meetings of which there will be 11 in the Championship (if two teams come up from the National league), 3 in the Shield and up to 4 (including the final) in the KOC giving a total of 18. During the same period, based on last season, there will be 9 G.Ps. This would still leave 3 dates free for rain offs and all of October for play offs (if we should be so lucky) so I think that Scott could still double up between the Championship and the GPs although there might be the odd occasion that he will be missing if we have a bad Summer weather wise.

W9 Lion Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 And the third rider will be announced at the Supporters Club function on Saturday night - be interested to see who it is. With Scott & Connor already in place its not obvious if we are building a top heavy team or a strength in depth, either way its bloody hard building to 38 points. Who would want to be a team manager but at least ours appears to have a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of season ticket holders getting a discount, had an e-mail from the club today saying because of Rye House folding last season & one meeting not taking place ,£17 will be knocked of next seasons renewal. So credit were credits due, because this hasn't happened before in past seasons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsFan Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I thought I got a refund when Coventry dropped out before the season started. I seem to remember getting some cash back when I picked up the season ticket from the speedway bar at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egon Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 The announcement says the signing will be there saturday and I assume Ryan Douglas is still in Australia so probably not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
