Definitely the best option especially as he rode for Birmingham last season

The reserves are a great worry at Leicester tonight they were at home racing against possibly one the weaker pairings. Drew Kemp won one race and then nothing and Joe Thompson beat the rising star then a gift point from a 3 rider race both so far have simply not been good enough. Options are limited especially with RS position, No6 there is some potential options and may be unfair to look at a double move with a new reserve and rider in 1-5 . The question being how long do you give it ? Will not be any easier next week against Belle Vue

I agree I thought Alex Raby was very good on comms but feel that some tweaking needs to be made to Leicester streams the picture quality was very dark in my opinion even on the earlier heats and struggled even more when dark . We all Know the lighting at Leicester is not the best and can’t compare to Eurosport or BT/Sky as full OBs but BSN seem to manage lighting better. Hopefully Pete and the team can make some tweaks for the next meeting and fix a few things but overall a good first broadcast

The new training track is being allowed to bed in before being used, Once the warmer weather comes I am told it will be made more solid then it can be used

I believe this is just sour grapes as this poster has been told their services are no longer required with the new owners and are known a known trouble maker along with a few others whom thought they were very important but have actually been found out.

The track is in good condition now but like we all know starting the season in Mid March is risky with the weather as tracks just do not dry very fast at this time of year but if back end of the week is ok all should be fine . If Wet on Wednesday for P&P it’s likely no on track action to save it for the next day. The Circus and Stunt show is on next to the stadium but have no shows on Thursday’s but do have two shows on Wednesday which may mean the car park is busier for P&P

Leicester tried Wozniak but said that he was going to concentrate on Poland and Grand Prixs this season but was open to a call later in the season depending on how things were going.

But will get to ride against Europe’s best riders regularly which wouldn’t happen if commits to a full season in UK

Not 100% sure William will go straight into Cubs team once he turns 15 as my understanding is that he is still going to be very busy on the continent getting more varied experience including in Poland under the guidance of Mr Hancock so will possibly be missing a number of weekends. What may possibly happen is William guests for the Cubs as an unattached 2pt rider when required and available

Max developed well in 2023 and can ride Edinburgh very well, He was only at reserve last year due to him being in such a successful Leicester team with Thompson x2, Boughen and Max Perry in another team he would have been higher in the team. Max has immaculate equipment,Good sponsors and is very keen to listen & learn I wouldn’t have doubts about away meetings he can regularly beat the likes of Harrison,McGurk,Perry,Hagon

My understanding is that Leicester had no option to have Joe T and Max Perry in the team even if they have two 3pt reserves and another in the main body of the team . I believe there is a rule being brought out about riding in Championship and NDL with clubs being limited to just one rider that can do both leagues this is to prevent fixture clashes and trying to find guests. .So with Max already signed for Poole and Joe at a track the club had to make a decision and went with Joe as the solid number 1 hopefully Max will be back at Leicester at some point

The new social media team at Leicester are very much on trend with lots of experience of creating content for the younger market as they themselves are in the 14-23 group with TikTok,Insta Reels and You Tube shorts being their forte. They have some great ideas and are fortunate at Leicester to have some other people involved with the club whom have lots of experience of Media and Marketing There will also be the more traditional social media like X (Twitter) Facebook along with of course the usual press releases too so hopefully should be something for everyone

I believe relations are better now and Mr Cairns is keen that the Thompson family are involved at Leicester as he is a huge promoter of British youth Speedway. I would agree that Dan or Joe T are probably the best RS round Leicester it was Dan’s away form that was the issue last season but showed that he improved greatly towards the end of the season.

Could Richard Lawson be available and fit in average wise if Leicester have a last minute change of heart with top end of their team ??

The Mitigation was that his drink got spiked on a night out the weekend before the test took place. Which was confirmed in the levels that were in the laboratory tested sample .
