In that case it will be " Bikey McBikeface" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icicle 896 Posted December 1, 2018 Leicester Loons?? (Loons being another name for a bird called a Diver) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted December 1, 2018 I suggest a team name which provides an acknowledgement to Beaumont Park stadium having been built on top of a rubbish tip, or Beaumont Leys former location as a sewage farm. Leicester Landfillers? Leicester Loggers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lionsman66 7 Posted December 2, 2018 Its looking quite likely now that all but 1 lions rider 2019 will be an English rider. Maybe thats so they have a better understanding of the accent from the new manager. Joking apart though, I feel he'll get the best out the team then the rest is up to them.

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.

Big Al 708 Posted December 4, 2018 So with Josh Bates's average - is it confirmed if it will be reduced due to being out injured for a season? If so, and with Thomas having his aversge discounted, there could be scope for someone around 8 to come in to form a good spearhead with Scotty? Or a 7+ a 5?

Teromaafan 586 Posted December 4, 2018 Whilst there is an opinion that we have a strong pairing at reserve, which is important, I feel that teams challenging for honours need a top two that can provide clout in heats 13 & 15. I would therefore hope that one of the remaining riders to be announced is a proven 7+ rider at this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted December 5, 2018 Jorgensen maybe? I think it will be Newman and a n other. Not sure on Bates/total team average so far though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
