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.

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

Steve Irving Posted October 31 Report Share Posted October 31 You’ll never see Vaculik over here again. Let’s just say his two ventures over here, wasn’t a good experience.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 valve Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 (edited) Will be no surprise if Lions 2025 feature two current GP riders at 1 & 5 and all riders being based in the UK. Edited November 1 by 1 valve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 On 10/27/2024 at 11:07 AM, TTT said: The strongest 1-7 I could come up with using realistic riders only and turning a blind eye to the Douglas to Brum rumours would be this. 1. Fricke, 2. Howarth, 3. Masters, 4. Becker, 5. Douglas, 6. C. Cook & 7. Hagon (RS) = 39.93 If Leicester want a big hitter then they'll have to be sitting ducks at reserve because Hagon needs a strong No.6 to partner him at reserve considering how much he struggled as RS. The more rumours and speculation happen I still think we will end up with this side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 (edited) 15 minutes ago, FishersGate said: The more rumours and speculation happen I still think we will end up with this side You never know, Stewart might go against his usual thought process when building a 1-7 (UK based riders) I think I've got 5 right as I don't see Masters leaving, Stewart will certainly want him back considering Sam is his rider of the season, I don't think anyone would opt to sign for Birmingham over a club that's financially stable as it's a case of playing with fire to a point where Birmingham could run out of money at any stage during the season. No.6 should be Sedgmen or Kerr though, I keep throwing Kerr into the mix because he's clearly a rider that Stewart likes considering he's signed Lewis for Berwick and Leicester over the last 2 seasons whilst putting faith in Lewis to guest for the Lions this year in the crunch play-off meetings.
