Ryan Douglas has not fallen out with the Leicester promotion in any way he has signed for Rawicz in Poland and the majority of their meetings are going to be on Saturday nights . Ryan has been considering his options whether to do UK Premiership,Sweden and Poland or UK both leagues and Poland.

New signings will be announced this week along with the return of some former Lions from previous seasons

Certainly not Danny King, he's converted to Piratehism! :D

When it came to the crunch in the semis against us Pirates it was the Lions lower end that just cudn't mix it. Mountain or Hume alongside one of the twins would've been the way to go. My mates are Lions fans and they were very surprised, and so was I, when Mountain was released and he performed very well despite the teams he rode for ending up at the bottom of their respective leagues.

I agree mate. We were quite top heavy and moving Dan to no 2 was tough on the kid. Would think mountain would come back in a heartbeat as he knows the track well..congrats on your season by the way.

Leicester  
Steve Worrall 9.05
Nick Morris 8.61
Kyle Howarth 7.52
Connor Mountain 5.06
Dan Thompson 5.03
Joe Thompson 3.65
Tom Spencer 2*
Total 38.92

Think stewart will pull a few surprises. That team is decent but not strong enough for a title challenge but that's just my opinion.

 Would love mountain at the club and he's a title winner with us already.

Cheers matey :cheers: 

Being at Poole & experiencing the fantastic atmosphere & celebrations was absolutely off the charts. Nothing beats avin the 2nd leg at home when u win.

I feel for the Lions fans when you were robbed of this opportunity in 2019 when you shud've had the 2nd legs when you did the double. I attend most of the meetings at Leicester and that was a choker.

Interesting team and Tom is a mate of mine but depending upon how the other teams shape up it cud well be too early for him.

Also I would only go with one of the Twins, which one? Depends upon how the rest of the team is built.

Haha, I don't actually know. Would rather have Steve and Danny, and don't think could fit Ryan in as well. 

 

A mate as just txt me and said Douglas possible for Pirates but like u say avin Danny & Steve it may not be possible.

Esp if want Hume and Cook bro's too!

I didn't really follow Championship speedway when Poole were in the Premiership, so any interesting former Leicester riders that could be back for them?

I'm only guessing really as I've only just starting going back Leicester this season and missed a number of years. Possibilities are (just guessing) are mountain, Worral, Morris, howarth, Hume...not sure who else really

Well If flagrag is correct, it's more than one former Lion, so could be Richie Worrall and Jason Doyle! 

Scotty also looking for a championship team.

 

Doyle? Why are Lion's going Premiership? And have they paid him all the money they owed him. When he left Leicester he was well peed off with the way he was being treated & Hemsley still looms large in the background.

Crikey do I remember Doyley's last interview after the last meeting he rode in for Leicester, ouch!
