    The statement on the Lions website said " the club have a contingency plan for the early weeks of the season "  & goes on to say " the Lions will not start their official programme until that stage (22 April ) although there will be track action at BP in other competitions prior to that April 22nd date".

    By other competitions i'm thinking, if they are running a cubs side, they will take those early dates.Also i'd imagine a challenge match will take place as a warm-up, possibly against Sheffield, which should attract a big crowd with Nikki Pedersen riding for the opposition. Lions would need to strengthen for that anyway, so guests could be used for the Thompsons.

    Certainly like the idea of a challenge match against Sheffield. Pedersen would be a great draw. Let’s hope the owners make it so

    Now Perks is signed, beginning to think the Howarth rumour was wrong. The only one who hasn't said Howarth was Mr Bump who said Proctor for Howarth & included Hume , Mountain & Lawlor.  He said Morris, Douglas, Proctor, Perks, Mountain, Hume, Lawlor. 

    Hope it's not right,  seems a bit weak.

    Hey, no worries, owt I’ve posted on here about next years team is just purely an uneducated guess

    Would be happy with something like ....

    Nick Morris

    Ryan Douglas

    Kyle Howarth

    Josh Bates / Ellis Perks

    Connor Mountain

    Danyon Hume / ANO 4.00 pointer

    Joe Lawler - possible Thompson 2.00

     

    Does it fit ?

     

    Fits easy with Proctor instead of Howarth. Reckon Joe Thompson will join the team come late April

    I'm a neutral that has attended the last four meetings at BP. The track has been on the slick side for all of them. How it's possible to doctor the track in such wet conditions is beyond me. They did well to get it on last saturday.

    I was standing by the first turn thinking to myself what a crap job we’ve done of doctoring this track. Especially as an opposition rider scores a brilliant, impeccable 15 point max and the only rider to look uncomfortable and fall off was one of our own

    Just gets a bit annoying when its constant.  Especially when we canny control when it decides to rain .

    Not even the alleged money tree on the first bend can buy you a dry night for speedway 

    Chucked it down here in Leicestershire last night but it’s a dry & bright one today. Should be a decent meeting later

    Getting excited now, gotta get a few hours before I head to the train station and then head straight from leicester to another night shift.....

    But the biggest match in Kent's history, honestly a bag of nerves.

    Looking forward to it. Absolutely lobbed it down Monday and early yesterday, today is thankfully dry & breezy. Should be a decent meeting.

    On a separate note, who else though Lawlor pipped Stewart on the line in heat 7?

    I was pretty much level with the line on the back straight and thought he got it by half a wheel.

    Although our viewpoint on the first bend is hardly the best from which to judge, a few of us felt he nicked it on the line too.

    Well well .... all a bit of an anti climax. According to the excellent "speedway updates" site  I counted 8 heats  listed as from the gate, and Eastbourne failed to deliver a home win. 

     

    After the "heady" heights of the rousing Glasgow home win of a month ago , the Eastbourne team have faded badly on their little home track at Arlington. 

     

    Maybe just maybe the can deliver at Leicester tomorrow ?????? I wonder whether their Director of Speedway Operations Mr J. Cook will manage to get to Beaumont Park ? 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What is the purpose of this post? What are you trying to say? Who’s side are you even on?
