Anybody know what Average Danyon Hume is for 2022?

As a Lions fan - I agree with that Summary foreverblue ..... did not expect that result .... really impressed with Danyon Hume and Rory Schlein .... Basso certainly looks a talent. Disappointed with Harris as guest for Hans .... Track needed more dirt on it tonight to make it harder to ride for the opposition ... no excuses though as the better team deservedly won.

Thanks - wasn't sure if he was fit or not ..... guess it will be Harris then ... pleased with that anyway!

So does anybody know if Chris Harris is guesting for Hans Andersen again on Sat night ? What about Richard Lawson if not or is he injured at present ? Come on you Lions!

RIP Roman Matousek Concur with the comments about him being a strong lad - recall it being said he had the strongest forearms in Speedway at the time and you certainly not want to arm wrestle him !! An entertainer for certain - never a dull moment when Roman was on track - not sure his own teammates were entirely comfortable riding with him ? lol I see to remember him as being essentially a 5-6 point rider who showed glimpses of better talent on occasion - recall one meeting at Coventry where he was a reserve and took 4 rides on the trot against some team - the first three races won in blistering form and the fourth he was leading until the Bike went bang big-time - never the same rider after that as believe it was a catastrophic and expensive bike loss. 55 Years of age too young for anyone to pass away - thoughts are with his family.

That's exactly what GB Speedway needs ... "riders on a level playing field and they can all beat each other on any given night" .... good close racing !!!

Swindon might have signed better riders so far you mean - how many GSA points have Robins signed v Sheffield so far ? Anybody know what GSA Nicki Pedersen will start on ?

Would be happy with something like .... Nick Morris Ryan Douglas Kyle Howarth Josh Bates / Ellis Perks Connor Mountain Danyon Hume / ANO 4.00 pointer Joe Lawler - possible Thompson 2.00 Does it fit ?

Massive thanks to the departing Scott Nicholls for his efforts as a rider and as our influential captain in Season 2019 - huge respect for the guy as an accomplished speedway rider over many years .... hope the future holds good things for you wherever you end up Scotty !!

With Simon Stead remaining in charge - maybe a possibility of attracting Martin Vaculik back to the uk ??

Not sure of the rules for next year of having just the one rider or more over 8.00 GSA ? If we are bale to have two then I would personally like to see both Scott Nicholls and Richard Lawson as our twin spearhead for next season, keep Ellis Perks and try and have Danyon Hume & Joe Lawlor at reserve Need two more engine room riders then .....

If Paul Starke had been riding .... If Rasmus Jensen hadn't fell ... If ... If .... well who's to say if Richie Worrall had been riding then he may well have done a lot better than his brother did on the night and in any case it doesn't matter because Lions won ...... Gotta say that Glasgow were a strong team over the two legs but not as strong as us !

Don't think Ryan will be with us if he is set on riding in Poland too ? Ellis Perks has to be number 1 priority - only getting better

Any idea of teams for the return leg at Beaumont Park ? Presumably Lawson could guest for Lions on Sat at home ( given the +5% rule ) if needed so he could be involved in the semi finals for both teams ??? lol

With the meeting off now until Fri 4 Oct - presumably means no Lawson as guest for R Worrall but also no Broc Nicol for Nathan Greaves either ? Weather forecast not good for Sat night either .....

Personally I think any team should not entertain bringing in a rider in the last few days before the transfer deadline who quite obviously did not want to commit to a full season in GB in the first instance, even if it does strengthen their chances of play-off success ...... it's all at the expense of riders who were committed to GB I reckon .....

Well and truly got out of jail with that win tonight ! Terrible performance from Ty Proctor tonight - looked way off the pace - worrying for the future unless he is riding injured or something? Mistake IMO to pull the impressive Ellis Perks out and tac sub Scotty in Ht 6 - should,ve targeted Palm Toft with tac sub ( Schlein or Douglas ) in Ht 7 in place of Joe Lawlor ... Impressed with Rasmus Jensen …. very lucky in Ht 14 after Sam Jensen fell whilst leading ,,,,,, Ryan out of his depth in Ht 15 albeit no matter ... Worried about Ty Proctor …..

Well I for one am very pleased Craig Cook is riding for the Tigers against Lions on Sat night - as a Lions fan , I want us to try and beat a strong Glasgow team with arguably the best rider in the Championship this year as opposed to one without.....

Apologies - didn't realise that was the case ....

May well be Sam Masters as a guest for Craig Cook - as you say not much difference as both are pretty nigh unbeatable at Beaumont Park anyways .... guest for Vissing will be interesting unless r/r ? Can't be Palm Toft as his average is too high ( has to be 6.80 less 5% = 6.46 max ) Lasse Bjerre just too high at 6.47 .... who else ?

Krystian was certainly a racer when in the right frame of mind - also very good out of the gate especially from the outside gates ..... seemed a bit nervous if another rider gave him a shove or two but it was early days at Leicester - pleased he is back in GB ......

Not really as surely Connor Mountain is a shoe-in reserve for the team whether they rider 'Premiership' or 'Championship' in either case ? Would have been surprised if we had announced Hans as the new asset given the uncertainty over the League formats for next year .... Connor would appear to be a good signing though for the Lions ! Cheers

Oh well - as they say when you bottom of the pile as we more than likely will be come the end of the season .... the only way from here is UP !!! This season is now gone .. so gotta look to next year and hope that we at least some some effort from the riders as they see out the rest of the year.... gotta say I don't think it helps when one of the Promoters comes onto the public microphone after last weeks home match to slag riders off about their form or effort and so on ... not saying it shouldn't be done but do it in private and face to face at least IMHO. Lions need support now when times are tough or there won't be any speedway at Leicester before very long - so stick with it through the bad times is the most important item on the agenda at the moment .... come on you Lions ! Cheers

Now that the new averages are out perhaps we could bring back Todd Kurtz for Connor Mountain - who let's face it is out of his depth - Kurtz should do ok at No 7 and the lesser reserve as opposed to being the main reserve as he was with Sarjeant ? Kurtz 4.02 Mountain 2.79 Difference = 1.23 makes Lions Total = 42.47 ? Means we are a bit stronger anyways .... Cheers

God help us I reckon - will be a field day for Klindt at reserve and if you're right about Hans being missing ... we'll be lucky to score 30 at home .... never mind I will be there supporting on the night as always but can't help feeling it's onwards and downwards
