Done. Hope everybody on this forum does the same so that as in previous times when Tai has been voted number 1 in this poll, speedway gets greater regular coverage in MCN during the year.

Absolutely correct. Having good reserves means Lions beat other reserves, but there is no certainty that they will get similar outcomes v opposition riders from the main body of the team hence a big need to anchor the top end and another high 7+ points rider is a prerequisite otherwise it will be a struggle to consistently gain an overall points advantage out of the last four heats.

No . Because his average at the time of being signed by Poole was the correct (current) average to use. It would have been incorrect to revert to a previous average.

Not sure what your basing the nearly all English team on, but since the owner has now sorted his Sheffield team out, Lions supporters will hopefully soon find out what is left to actually come out of the pipeline which the manager has previously said fans will be excited about.

Well looks like Leicester will have a team in the NL next year. A league that looks good for giving Championship reserves meetings where they will have the chance to perform well as heat leaders and other members of the team to be up and comers. So Connor Mountain to lead and the Thompson Twins to be given team slots? - Might be a good start to team building. Would be good if Lions season ticket holders receive some form of discount on admission prices too.

Not sure which manager of the Bates owned teams feel they have the best deal here. Leicester for getting his signature or Sheffield for not doing so.

He did that 2 years ago. Must have been a practice run.

Well that's two signings from opposite ends of the skill/experience/age spectrums. But a good balance start to 2019 team building. Any chance they failed to mention to Scott that the Lions are racing on Saturdays in 2019

I believe you are correct and indeed the current owner/promotion do pay a rent hence why I questioned the remark by D. Smith Leicester don't have rent to pay (rent

They don't ? how come?

Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the pipeline rather than knowing what's in it. (just in case it doesn't come out!)

Wouldn’t it be great if the powers that be did actually use facts from one season to the next to create some resemblance of continuity. However it seems they prefer to fiddle with things thereby ensuring confusion reigns supreme

Of your teams owner/promoter and shake them until their egos and blind faith give way to common sense and meaningful actions.
