Not so sure on Lasse.  The tracks been altered since he last rode at Leicester and I'm never certain on his temperament. If he's in the right frame of mind he can be unbeatable but there are times, just like his brother, when he doesn't seem interested. Think we need somebody more dynamic.  In the gaffer, I trust!!!!!

Love Lasse and Kenneth, but Lasse was not interested at all in 2019 when he rode for us, plus he said he'll only come over if he can double up and I seriously doubt any PL team are gonna sign him, he's not at that level (apart from the off day when he can be world champion)

I'm still surprised they haven't announced Josh Auty and a 5.67 type signing... Or just a straight Ellis Perks swap if he is back

I'd love to see a big name such as Luke Becker though, make the league even more interesting, but I don't see it, he's too good

Would Lasse ride for the Bates again... didn't they part controversially?

Im told Ellis is very expensive and Becker can only ride for one UK club due to the type of work permit he was granted.

In Saturday night's notes, the gaffer said that Josh was hoping to return for the Tigers at tomorrow night's meeting against the Aces. Well.......he's not! An update on his progress (or otherwise) would be nice.  I guess however with Saturday postponed it gives time for a plan b or c or d! In the gaffer we trust!

Have we given up on making a new signing, or signings. 

Its getting on for a couple of weeks since Mr Proctor hung up his crash helmet. 

He'll be fully refreshed and ready to come back again by the time we next ride

I've been thinking again, oh dear, and some of you ain't gonna like it because it involves trying to publicise the club and our triumphs :lol:

Has anybody at the club been in touch with Leicester City Football club to try and capitalise on our sporting successes? I've been banging on about us not showing the trophy to our fans, how about trying to arrange a visit of the FA Cup to BP for a photo op with our Cup & League Trophy and their Cup? It may even drag some LCFC fans in as I doubt they'd get the same opportunity down at the King Power and also involve local radio and television. May not be able to get Wes Morgan or Kasper Schmeicel along but I bet club ambassador "Birch" would love a night out at the Speedway!

Also, there's a bus going around happily on its route with a big Leicester Speedway banner along the side, it's been out and about since at least 2017, has anybody thought about getting it into the depot to stamp League and Cup winners over it?

Why don’t they just say who it is. Oh I forgot this is speedway. 

Because by doing it this the club generate some anticipation from the fans. After all, we are now all posting about the announcement.
