Lions v Glasgow 17th August


Recommended Posts

May well be Sam Masters as a guest for Craig Cook - as you say not much difference as both are pretty nigh unbeatable at Beaumont Park anyways .... guest for Vissing will be interesting unless r/r ?  Can't be Palm Toft as his average is too high ( has to be 6.80 less 5% = 6.46 max )  Lasse Bjerre just too high at 6.47  .... who else ?

Nope, MPT has the same average as Vissing so that is fine. At home Glasgow can have a guest with an average of 6.8 plus 5%

Completely and utterly absurd situation, this is the sort of thing which makes the sport a shambles and laughing stock. Giving these riders bans instead of fining them from earnings was so obviously going to create these issues, I hope the goons who made the decisions realise what they have done, but I doubt it somehow.

Handing out fines won’t work  as riders followers/fans usually have collections and pay their fines for them.

So are you really saying these "backers" would chip in to make up riders' reduction/ loss of earnings over a number of meetings, if that were to be the sanction instead of a ban?

The same could also happen when riders are banned and sponsors/fans chuck some money their way, perhaps not a meetings' wage but some money all the same.

I'm sure Stuart Dickson will have something up his sleeve 

History would dictate a knee deep track with only the bravest/most experienced venturing off the single line on the inside after 10 or so heats. The weather forecast is good, gating boots required regardless.

Not sure if our three Australian team members would appreciate that too much (four if you count Perks):(

Well there would need to be a massive shale delivery to be able to make Leicester knee deep in dirt last week it was down to the base and very little out wide

I noticed that again... I'm amazed nobody kicked off about it... cue Cook and Schlein at the same meeting

Thanks to the co operation of BT sports Scott Nicholls will be at Leicester to captain the Lions. This was a complicated one as Scott agreed and signed a deal with BT before joining the Lions hence why Lions meetings are planned around the GPS and SON. However they are happy as a one off as they understand what a big fixture this is for the club so they are going to bring in another analyst who will please the viewers.

You said it would be someone who would please us!!!

Fine line between an away win and getting a point but would have taken a point before the meeting. Damien will be raging with Proctor, only 2 weeks left to get another sacrificial lamb sent over from Owlerton. Onward to Sheffield tomorrow where hopefully we can do a bit better.
