Cross Roads

We also need to accept track prep when weather forecasts are advising rain all afternoon pack it down and hope for the best or simply cancel the meeting early in the day. With the weather hopefully picking up as we get into May more shale on the track and watering I'm confident racing should improve. Whilst some tracks ie Belle Vue Scunthorpe etc have some great racing i go to poland and watch league racing some of these meetings are also processional. I'm no expert but could some of todays racing be down to lay downs and speed. Very little team riding in the sport now days once in the lead gone...was refreshing to see for the first time in a long time the Holders team riding in heat 15 a couple of weeks ago. Any way top of the league all good...lol

Weather forecast tom rain from 5pm-10pm 50-75% chance…be looky if goes ahead.

To early for changes in my opinion, I'm confident the top 5 will come good and once click is a solid unit. Reserves I with others agree need to be holding there own especially at home. Think Kemp will turn it around Joe seems a little out his depth at this level no criticism just maybe a jump to far at present in his career. I would only make the 1 change but give it a few more meetings. as the city say KEEP THE FAITH Lions fans.

First meeting of the season yes not perfect racing but take into account the time of year and sporadic weather it will improve. Important to start with a win, Been following the lions for years at both sites we will have a good season with that team (if all stay injury free) I'm confident of that, great to see some wolves fans make the trip also. Only couple of moans I have is poor intro presentation again never changes.... get the riders to the start line like the old days introduce all and get a few practise laps for the fans to watch even better allow free practise 1 hour before start time as I see when in Poland whilst the team mangers are interviewed, present intro amateurish. Why cant we have some lights in the advertising banner over the start line to light up the start line...? this time of year real surprised not getting complaints from riders and refs as i for one struggle to see the full track on clear dark evenings...Moan over up the lions.

Well done to Phil and the team. Whilst not perfect massive step in the right direction for the sport in this country long may it continue. All the best to all teams through out the season especially the Loins.

Meeting Postponed due to weather forecast..

Seems like Mr Lawson is at Leicester creating a mini track in the middle of the centre green great result for the youth development of the sport in a stadium that has great access, well done to all involved.Any chance can stay on a bit longer and do some further work on the main track…. Eye sight not what it used to be and some lights focused on the track and start line would be a massive bonus to me as well :)….

Who…?

Joe Thompson replacing Flint i would imagine against my other predictions some pages back...Suppose we will all know on Sunday.

How about this for a team M.Fricke R.Lawson D.Kemp S.Masters R.Douglas L.Becker Flint How would that fit the averages..? all round solid play off material i would say..?

Thought the racing was a little follow the leader last night, Stewart did comment needs more shale especially for the likes of bomber. Think we need to re evaluate the team in a few weeks when all had more meetings max will come good. Surprised how few stay behind at the end of meeting now when riders come out maybe as a week night people wish to shoot off, to be fair max was honest with his performance last night fingers crossed over the coming weeks. one moan from me why is the intro to riders so poor at Leicester quick lap of the track… why not line up on start line introduce all riders talk to both managers complete the coin toss and let all have a few laps after all we are there to be entertained and to some degree interact with the riders… costs nothing. keep the faith long season up the lions.

So only a few weeks now till the season starts what’s peoples predictions of the lions I’m thinking stay relatively injury free good chance of the play offs…

Congrats to Poole bitter pill to swallow when top the league… but we all know the rules at the start of season. Think would of been closer at Beaumont park though, hoping the track gets sorted for the premier next season.. merry Xmas everyone see you in 2023 lol..

Lions…..lol

Still cannot understand why the intro is so poor. Why not get riders at the start introduce them interview them with a couple of practise laps.. been going for years but unless I need my eyes testing the lighting is so poor now days. Also what is going on with the purchasing of tickets why is the bottom bar in car park no longer open to have a quick beer and purchase your tickets. Any way moan over here to a safe and successful season up the lions.
