Might do him a favour, won't now have the loyalty he may have had for Leicester and kick on with another club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any need for him to "kick on" at another club. I'd suggest a 5 point Champ rider, getting a 3.1 ave in his first Prem season is already showing good progress. Averaging better than Rowe, Edwards, Thomas, Mulford, Jenkins & Palin did in their first "rising star" opportunities. If he gets another RS spot & carries on with his current form, he's done well for me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to compound the feeling it maybe a silly decision, dropping a level headed young man on the up for someone who seems to have history who may do better?

I think it's the right decision to help Leicester make the play-offs. But wanted to show how I feel Dan T has done nothing wrong! Sadly this sort of change is not anything new in Speedway, look at Joe T losing his team spot at Scunny as they couldn't find a replacement for Kennedy!

CB252 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's the posts from Mrs Thompson regarding Dan being sacked via text message, and the revelation that Leicester as a club are sporadic payers at best that are particularly damning.

Doubt he would put up with that, considering all the issues he has had at some former clubs imo.

Teromaafan Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Haven’t seen the Facebook posts but the situation appears to be a little awkward all round. It was obviously Dickson’s decision to drop Dan (he’s a winner and therefore ruthless). Dan will now need to get his head down in the Championship (more his level) with his new club Birmingham. Brum of course have just appointed a new manager…….. a certain Mr Stewart Dickson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone at Leicester has a soft spot for the twins (having seen them start out as mascots), but getting axed, however unfair it may seem, is unfortunately part and parcel of the sport. The sooner they learn to accept it the better. In view of the lack of opportunities out there, they may have to learn to be tight lipped. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the sacking by text that has particularly irked him. I mean, I don't see how anyone sensible could disagree with the team change. Sacking by text is a bit Hortonesque though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 I do feel for Dan. I don't think he has done anything wrong really. His scores weren't as good at home as we expected but he's still chipped in. Kemp is better rider at the end of the day. I'm hopeful he's got a spot somewhere else for his development.
