1 valve Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well now that the 2021 line up has been announced and the fixture list published its time to look ahead to the new season. I guess the big question remains. "will crowds be allowed back by May 1st to enable it all to happen" . Boris's announcement on the 22nd should give a strong indication as to what to expect.

Tosh1218 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 It will go ahead with reduced capacity at stadiums ie 33% or 50 % of the stadium’s safety limit . So in nearly all cases teams should be allowed to race due to low attendance at speedway .The problem will be the two Scottish sides might have to adhere to different rules under there leader Nicola Sturgeon ??

Leader is not how I would describe Herr Furher. Children may log on from time to time so I will refrain on what I would like to call her.

They should contact Boris to see what he is going to do, and they can then plan with 100% certainty what WJK will do. . ie. Exactly the opposite to him to show what a 'great leader' she is...

W9 Lion Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 So, what do we think if the team now that it has been released? No surprises, safe, solid selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprises, safe, solid selection. Looks a strong bet for a top 4 finish. Good heat leader duo, strong engine room and scope for improvement at reserve. Hard to split between Leicester, Glasgow, Eastbourne and Poole id say. Certainly be happy if i was a Lions fan and the good news is nobody has been dropped for being too old!

Teromaafan Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 If we were to keep the current 1 to 7 (which is never going to happen) I would be disappointed if the Lions weren't play off finalists. Bates needs to grow up and race but not chase lost causes as he ends up getting injured.As has been pointed out by another poster, he is fifth in the team averages and may be difficult to cover if we had to use R/R. Should either or both of the twins kick on at reserve, I don't see us dropping anything at home. If they can match their opposite numbers away, we really are in business. Let's not get too picky though eh? As long as we get to smell some methanol, we'll take whatever comes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I am sure I have read somewhere that S Nicholls has booked a midlands track for Kent to practice on. Being an ex rider, I would say that it is the Leicester track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Great to see this seasons race jackets on the club's twitter page, it's 1973 again! The retro approach is to be fully embraced by the management apparently. When you turn up for the first meeting in your flares and platform shoes, here's what you can expect: Wilson, Jessup & Boulger waiting in the wings to step up and replace injured/absent riders (riders drawing a pension to be allocated assessed averages of 5.00 by the SCB). Music played over the PA totally relevant to the era. (2019 stadium playlist will now be up to date and therefore retained). A packed stadium. Fans will see the 50p admission as great value for money. Bring it on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionsFan Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I think capacity is around 4,500. I vaguely remember they claimed that figure attended the re-opening meeting in 2011, and it did seem pretty full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
