Good to see a team move up. your top 2 if correct are pretty solid and will do a good job for you Maybe, but currently they ride for other teams in the Premiership....New team required to be put together for next season, but safe to presume that "names" have already been spoken to about signing up for the 2023 Lions Edited October 4, 2022 by 1 valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I did mention this was happening on another but nobody seemed to believe me! I don't suppose anyone believes Peterborough are moving down to the Championship either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Good. Needs one of Glasgow or Oxford to join them for an 8-8 split in the two leagues. Increased points limit in the top tier, more riders apparently available, creating a bigger divide between the two leagues with doubling up slowly being phased out over the coming years. It’s a plan of sorts at least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased points limit in the top tier, more riders apparently available, creating a bigger divide between the two leagues with doubling up slowly being phased out over the coming years. It’s a plan of sorts at least. Have read that Oxford were interested but CAN'T at moment as Dogs would need Stadium for Racing on Monday / Thursday and obiously TOTE income is fundamental to their business plan. Besides if they can attract 1500-2000 to CL and 500-800 to NDL on a Wednesday night why would they take a gamble. Glasgow rumoured to be considering, Poole won't go back up in what may be last season their Stadium in available and hard to see anyone else in CL taking such a move? 8-8 would be ideal, 7-9 is at least nearer the aim of 8-8 surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I will be working to build a Premiership team which is fully able to compete at that level, and I’m confident we will be able to do so. “I do think there are advantages for the supporters with this, especially the increase in local derbies with the likes of Wolverhampton, Peterborough and Sheffield, and we’ll also look forward to welcoming their fans to Leicester.

HGould Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Couple of solid options for Lions could be Nicholls and Lawson. Nicholls did a great job there in CL. Track would suit him more than Peterborough and a nice average. Lawson always rated by Dickson and another who rides track well. His average has gone up in 22 but he may feel more secure there? Bates family ditched him just before 2021 season at Sheffield but reason for that now seems sorted. Would make a solid starting point Probable Connor Mountain would be a reserve pick too.
