Hearing Wozniak on his way back to Leicester, assuming he will he come back on his 5.91 from end of 2016? 

I wouldn’t bet on it

No thanks, unless we have to shoe horn one of them in to accommodate a big hitter at 5. Would Dickson want Richie back after letting him down a couple of seasons ago?

I'd refuse to go if that utter arse Worrall ended up anywhere near a Lions jacket.

Ok at number  6 ...but never improves year by year ...

Think I'd sooner have Sedgman at 6, especially around BP.

Would either if not both the worralls fit ? 

Neither . Steve only riding championship. Richie won't be touched with a barge pole by Lions I don't think

Stewart normally always goes down that route so we shall see, The rumours though are giving Lions fans some hope of getting Fricke some rock solid support at No.5.

I agree.

Vaculik did ride over here at one stage as well, Got injured at Swindon if I remember quickly and then he never returned.

Did barely a lap on his Leicester debut at Swindon, broke his ankle If I Recall Correctly , and never rode for the Lions again.

The connection with Vaculik with Leicester was via Simon Stead. So if Vaculik ever did return to UK speedway it would be more than probable as a Tiger rather than a Lion.

You’ll never see Vaculik over here again. Let’s just say his two ventures over here, wasn’t a good experience..

Kyle Howarth will be nailed on at Leicester, got him in a steal of an average

Happy to have Kyle back, never gives less than 100% ever and as you say, a steal on his average (5.05 with Brit reduction).

I wouldn't describe that as a "steal of an average" as he's got that average for a reason. 

Now if he's a reserve, then I'd fully expect him to up his average, but I'm the top 5 - that's how I'd rate him (a 5 to 5.5 man).
