Hard to say with any accuracy but I think crowds at Leicester look to be pretty much at last years levels, if not actually a little better

Pretty sure Nicolai Klindt scored 20 or 21 a couple of years back riding at reserve

Makes you wonder why that wasn’t made clearer when the signings were announced on the website? Personally glad that Danny is still in the picture though. Think he would of enjoyed tonight’s rather grippy track.

Not sure that’s strictly true but you ain’t far off!!

We can’t use Lasse or Erik as we did not declare them in the team at the start of this season. Unless we get some sort of special permission off the SCB or BSPA or the RSPCA or whoever’s in “charge” of whatever.

Hope so too.

Judging by the fact our last 2 away performances were terrible, plus we have the usual scenario of riders missing, plus we have a young Polish rider who will probably struggle around Monmore, plus we have a no.1 who isn’t scoring much at the moment....I reckon it’s nailed on we’ll win. Not.

Hope is nice but prefer the pubs in Castleton

You were obviously scared to death of facing the mighty roar of the Lions. And judging by our last 2 away performances rightly so

Just a tad on the dusty side though

Thanks. Apologies for my ill-informed spreading of fake news.

Sarjeant was excellent, looks comfortable when he makes a gate. Regarding averages, I think only programmed rides count, so heat 15 riders/scorers are irrelevant to the GSA’s. However with my overall knowledge of speedway rules/regs I could be completely wrong.

Really pleasently surprised by the whole team performance, including the guests. Didn’t see us winning that meeting. Bjerre couldn’t seem to get out of the gate all night, bike issues maybe & his brother was in the pits helping quite a bit too. But I’d like to have seen him in heat 15. Pushed Thorssell real close in heat 13, fancy he might have got us a 3-3. Good 3 points though against a strong team.

Totally agree. Andersen R/R surely better. Unless Newman & Pieszczek are on top form I feel we’re doomed, doomed I tell ye.

Yep he’s definitely in the lineup. As is Kyle Howarth for the Wolves too.

Yes you are

Looking at the original line-ups of both teams, the stars would be missing only NKI whilst we’d be missing only Hans Andersen when this date was pencilled in. Whilst that’s still far from ideal maybe some thought that was a fair compromise. At the time anyways.

If he isn’t fit for Monday it’ll be double trouble as Hans Andersen is also unavailable! We never manage to field the same 1-7 twice Ever.

Lasse or Nicolai Klindt most probably!

I agree Nilsson would be great if necessary, but we can’t reinstate him to the team without permission from SCB management committee. Whoever they may be. Wishing a speedy recovery for Danny though.

I’m assuming Kurtz is permanent as Bates & Palm Toft have almost the same average. Bates’ return would now put us over the dreaded limit with Bjerre in the team?

Harsh as it would be, swapping JS for a 2 pointer at number 7 seems a likely outcome? Opens it up to having a 9 point ish average top man?

If it’s a signing that will divide Lions fans then it must surely be the second coming of Bjarne Pedersen

Robert Lambert guests on Monday in place of Martin Vaculik.

Exactly. The idea of allowing riders from each team to feel track conditions on the bike beforehand would likely have prevented the subsequent problems. Can’t believe that would be difficult to implement. Hope someone’s listening.
