Have you tried emailing the club? lions@leicesterspeedway.com Don't hold your breath for a reply... Pretty sure most clubs would opt for their regular 1-7 given the chance. Unfortunately injuries and other factors outside of speedway often don’t allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I always prefer a guest to R/R especially when running a double header... and you're stuffed if a rider gets injured early in the meeting... but that's a whole different debate Edited June 1, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Plymouth for example. Chris Harris scoring 3 points vs Edinburgh yesterday probably cost them the meeting. Berwick have suffered more than most with three riders out injured at one stage. They’ll be two riders down this weekend. Jye Etheridge in particular is a huge loss, only dropping three points in four meetings at home before he was injured in heat 1 against Redcar.

R/R for Etheridge at home is like replacing Harry Kane with a Sunday League player. 3pts last Saturday from R/R when you consider Jye has been almost unbeatable around Berwick so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) They've applied for a facility . doesn't mean they've got one. Rowe's June average is 3.95. Atkins ex Plymouth is available or a 2.00 NL rider? He,s riding for Ipswich tonight so hardly withholding his services.

IainB Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 It'll surely be one of the Lions Cubs... they'll already be there, so it'll save on costs etc and it'll also be bring one of the Cubs on for the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse when you consider who is eligible for RR. An off form Theo Pijper, Leon Flint recovering from injury, a 4 point reserve and a guest reserve who’d been out of speedway for ten years before this season and has hardly flattered this time around. Not sure if Ricky Wells qualifies. Unsure if the averages have been updated. Leicester must be licking their lips Edited June 2, 2022 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
