Hamish McRaker Posted Friday at 04:50 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:50 PM If it is to be a change of strategy, the best outcome would be to bring in someone initially on an assessed average of 8, who is capable of pushing that up to the extent that he is a realistic challenger to Max Fricke as the no 1. It would be a risk, because it could end up like Piotr Pawlicki, or like Magic Janowski who didn't get going until the second half of the season (but who now has a very handy average!!). But I think that if Leicester are serious about joining the top table in the Premiership (by that I mean capable of winning two playoff ties), a table that Oxford will surely be joining next year, risks of this sort will have to be taken.

Just got a Stewart Dickson vibe to it, UK based 1-7 and just the one change from last years side so it ticks the continuity box as well. I know the Masters/Douglas rumours doing the rounds but I've got a hard time believing any rider would sign for Birmingham if they had multiple offers/intrest from other clubs. Birmingham can easily go under at any stage next season and they can easily fall behind in rider payments so I think they'll end up with 6 riders that nobody else wants tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I heard every rider from last season wanted to return so I'm guessing Stewart thought let's just stick to what we know works here and see if we can make the play offs again. It's not weaker or stronger than last season. Stronger at reserve but weaker with Lawson moving on for Howarth. If Cook can get firing then Howarth is a decent reserve. Stewart has worked with Howarth before and Cookie so it makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted Saturday at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:40 PM Was at the speeday show today. Lots of lions fans there and was great to speak to some riders and fans. Massive shame Leicester weren't there considering there was Oxford, Poole, Workington among others representing the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a decent show to be honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a decent show to be honest The Poole stand was done by a very well known and established Poole fan to showcase his collection of Poole racesuits, bibs, jackets, prog boards etc as the show was straight after Poole's end-of-season party and presentations on Friday night and immediately before their trophy-winning Las Vegas reward trip.
