No news yet  but if Leicester continue in 2024 and remain in The BPL then I hope that Ryan Douglas will  return  along with Chris Harris who should not have been let go [n the first place. It all went wrong after he was exchanged for Richie Worrall.

Agree re Douglas, always goes well around Leicester. I’d like to see Fricke back as well.

Fricke 8.98
Kerr 5.45
Douglas 7.14
Lawson 6.57
Masters 7.13
B Cook 6.00

Total 41.27

Do rising stars count towards the points limit? 

 RS do not count in team average but it's roumered it could be 6 man teams with a team average of 42 ???

I expect fricke to return along with Lawson and kemp. Becker, Douglas and Masters could all end up at leicester. Flint a possibility also with the Stewart Dickson/ Berwick connection..

I'm still confident we will be at the tapes next year with just a few details to sort out . 

You can be  assured at least  half of those wolves riders will end up at Brum.

Douglas is a much better rider around Beaumont Park than he is around Monmore Green

Dougy was always a pleasure to watch around BP when he rode for the Lions. He was cheerful and had a positive attitude to his racing. In my book, he'd be welcome back in a heartbeat.

It all went wrong after Morris was caught playing silly bu**ers and earned himself a 2 year ban. It's been quite well documented that Bomber was not comfortable riding the B.P. circuit and said so himself in a post match interview with Rob Sensicall.  Richie made no secret of the fact that he wanted to be back at Leicester, and don't forget that the riders' averages had a big part to play in forcing Stewart's hand in having to change things around.

Taking into account that Kerr and Riss are Berwick bound going by the rumours, I think this will be your team.

LEICESTER

1. Max Fricke 8.98
2. Lewis Kerr 5.31
3. Sam Masters 7.13
4. Richard Lawson 6.40
5. Ryan Douglas 7.14
6. Erik Riss 4.84
7. RS

I highly doubt Riss will be at leicester. I could even score more at leicester than Riss.

I've put him in purely due to the Stewart Dickson connection if rumours are true about Riss riding for Berwick. 

My logic is this -> If Dickson wants him at Berwick then he must be in the frame for a job at Leicester too considering his average just about fits for a reserve berth if Kerr is in.

Leicester team is all sorted if the points limit and amount of teams competing remains at what was agreed back in September's mini AGM then the Leicester team will have a real international feel to the team . More will become clear shortly with the new owners announced 

If it increases then a lower order rider will not be in place and an Eastern European rider will be in.
