    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.

    Honestly guys you need stop worrying about Phil The Ace's 1-7.

    It's a good side and I would snap anyone's hand off if they offered me that side.

    In Britain there are two possibly three No.1's if Batchelor rides well. Jason Doyle, Robert Lambert are the only true No.1's and that is it.

    Then the rest of the riders are either one of the following.

    1. Not good enough to ride in the league and are only signed to contracts because clubs ran out of points to play with 

    2. Is full of riders on a level playing field and they can all beat each other on any given night.

    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 !!!

    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 ...... :D:D

     

    Gotta say that Glasgow were a strong team over the two legs but not as strong as us !

    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 …..

    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
