Blooming heck this is going to hit Leicester in the pocket a bit.

Woffinden? AJ? Nilsson (with arm-twisting)? Nicki "Box Office" P?

In the meantime, R/R could be ok for Monday.

Or run the Sport properly and make a signing or run RR?

If RR then the next two riders should be able to take two rides each...

Too easy to run guests hence the Sport does...

Hence it sadly has no credibilty. ..

Zagar doesn’t like Leicester, always find a reason not to ride !

KBjerre average too high

Don’t rate Batch around Leicester

Musielak not at the standard

Don’t think Woffy would do it, but might be worth a shot !

Nillson a good shout if he would do it

Fricke or Masters could guest

Tough one all round & “how’s your luck” ?

You would think it would be pretty difficult to sort anything out before next week's meetings, so will probably have to go guest & R/R. By the following week Holder looks like he'll be back at Poole, so leaving Kildemand free, that would free up enough points to replace MPT with Lasse if he is unfit. Kildemand & Lasse wouldn't weaken us in anyway.

Woffy, Piotr Pawlicki, Zagar, Nilsson could fit for averages. AJ too high, ditto Dirty Nicki.

Hopefully both Piotr and Woffy are available when Wolves need them mid season so will hopefully be unavailable for the Lions. 

Wishing them well on finding a replacement tho.

Is nobody else concerned to read Nick Morris saying “ It’s taken for someone to get hurt who probably won’t race in England again after that for us to call it off."

Concerned, but not surprised.  He'll do exactly as Przedpelski did.  Make his comeback in Poland but never quite make it back here.

Gorzow pay Vaculik thousands to have him come over here and get injured riding in our tinpot junk league in a meeting which shouldn't have started.  No wonder they're livid as they can't just use a rider from another team to replace him.

Wouldn't surprise me if Grudziadz tightened the leash on Pieszczek either.

Drozdz already riding elsewhere but not for Belle Vue as he's too injured.

In fairness the Aces have already signed a temporary replacement for Drodz for 28 days so he can't come back till then .

Robert Lambert guests on Monday in place of Martin Vaculik.

There isn't a great amount of riders that will want to fill the boots of Vaculik as it seems like riding for Lions has an air of bad luck surrounding it again

Seen on BSI site that Chris Holder has now ridden in Poland and that he is to be reinstated into Poole's team. If this is correct then Peter Kildemand might become available.

See all these big names banded about as replacement for Vaculik but it won't happen. They're not interested and won't risk their pay cheque from Poland.

Vaculik is certain not to return so it really will be another long season of going through the motions for Leicester.
