stevethelion Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 This is how I see this panning out. Lions & Rowe part company on the 2nd of June, after a few weeks of rumours. Lions apply for 28 day facility which conviently takes us to 30th June, in the mean time use the facility to pick suitable guests. On the 1st of July the new averages come into effect, now it just so happens that Rowe now as a rolling average of 4.16 ( see lions statistics page on their website). Because the rolling average is losing 2 matches a month, so started at 20, then 18 for May, 16 for June, so when the June averages are annouced on the 23rd of June it seems Rowe must have lost 3 lowish scores & will be replaced with the 9 he scored at Birmingham, hence the jump from 3.95 to 4.16. This will give them more scope to find a replacement, possibly Zane Keleher, who looks like he finished last season on 4.06 or maybe an untried Aussie on a 4.00. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving that name to the Thompson's is the same as putting Ant & Dec in the same company as Morecambe & Wise. Yeah Darcy didn't like it when people called Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz the turbo twins 2.0! He said there is only one set of turbo twins and it's him and Chris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the correct title 'the Thompson twins' unless I am missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbee Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Darcy Ward and Chris Holder were indeed impressive as a duo but then again were they as good as Hamill & Hancock ?? Let hope the Thompson Twins turn out to be as good as either duo ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted June 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) No idea who will come in for Leicester, maybe Zane keleher (however you spell his name) comes in Edited June 4, 2022 by ScottyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wait til after you have been to Poole then, as he isn't any good there! Better to get Edwards as a guest imo. I'm hoping Edinburgh have already booked him as they are riding on Weds as well.

Can't make the change until Rowe's average goes above Keleher's which will be 1 July (on next green sheets published circa 23 June) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough must have missed that post. I'm not sure there's much choice out there maybe Connor Coles could make a step up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Do Leicester have to wait 28 days before signing a replacement or is it just the rider who has the ban? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 It is just the rider that has the ban(in all British Leagues) & Leicester have a facility or can sign a rider but as someone has posted , it maybe best to wait until new July averages to get up to 4.16 as what he said. That might change though due to dropping 2 more meetings per month. http://www.gbspeedway.com/2022/riderperf.php?mc1=x&mc2=r&mc3=av&mc4=x&rider=Anders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very astute - although what would be the basis for the 28 day guest facility? Rowe doesn't seem to be witholding his services, but if he is, then he's going to be unable to ride for a few weeks and he'll be wanting to start with s new club asap. There must be some other facility Leicester will be making use of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rolling averages on there now show 16 meetings , which is the figure that will be used for the July averages, obviously Rowe won't ride for them again so his average will remain unchanged.

SteveLyric2 Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Do Lions fans really think they'll pay for Keleher to fly over from Oz, plus all his other costs, to fill a reserve place?????? He's not exactly proved himself so far has he? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will be fine for the playoffs with him. He won't score many away from home but experience is key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
