Dickson has hinted at him staying plenty of times but another source of mine is also hinting he is elsewhere. Who knows. All part of the fun I guess!

But if the Lions were to lose a couple of riders to the Brummies then may be some changes in team plans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 1 hour ago, SaddlebowRoad said: …needs to avoid the unavailability issues which has dogged the club over the last few seasons I think that is exactly why the club are going with this kind of lineup. All riders with connections to the club and/or a track record of giving UK speedway respect. After all the hassles with Musielak and Tarasenko, we need a settled side. There’s nothing you can do about injuries, but you know these riders won’t mess us around. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 46 minutes ago, SaddlebowRoad said: would he fit? cant see him leaving ox but you never know Magic just fits: Janowski 7.02 (or Cook 6.99) Iversen 6.83 Klindt 6.59 Kvech 6.58 Lawson 6.91 Harris 6.06 Boughen 39.99 Like @Bald Blokehas mentioned before, having Magic in the side would be my preferred option as well. He would give us more top end strength for heats 13 & 15 and clearly likes the Lynn track. Got 16 from 6 rides and 14+2 from 7 rides on his two visits last season. He wouldn’t come cheap though and I’d guess Oxford would be favourites for his signature. Ben Cook would also be a decent option. Side would be 39.96 with his inclusion instead of Janowski. But his average comes from riding in the middle order, not at 1 or 5. He’d start as our No 1 which is a step up. But I do wonder if Ben might end up at Birmingham with his brother. But with either in the team (and Lawson), it should be a match for anyone at home, especially considering we saw off Sheffield, Belle Vue (albeit without Kurtz) and Leicester reasonably comfortably with a much weaker side than that. But if we don’t get Lawson and either one of Magic or Cook, that could make things tricky. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a top 4 team hands down, whether it’s Magic or Ben at 1 in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
