flagrag 711 Posted May 11, 2014 From the reports I have heard Paddy has decided that he picks up too many injuries in the UK and wants to concentrate on Denmark and Poland with his Polish club asking him to be out there on Saturdays to practice which obviously clashes with Leicester. So Leicester are back to looking for two riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the best riders Leicester have had in terms of professionalism, commitment and always tries his best for the club. Plus, he's a gentleman. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted May 12, 2014 Totally agree. One of the best riders Leicester have had in terms of professionalism, commitment and always tries his best for the club. Plus, he's a gentleman. Nemo is attending to family matters as he has a new baby and always said he wouldn't be riding kn the UK this year apart from a testimonial in Workington Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justathought 374 Posted May 12, 2014 Nemo is attending to family matters as he has a new baby and always said he wouldn't be riding kn the UK this year apart from a testimonial in Workington I see. That'll be why he was in the team for the friendly return at Peterborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justathought 374 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Nice to follow a team that keeps supporters up to date with all the latest happenings at the club. With instant information posted on the team website the moment it happens. Just look at that team the Berwick Bandits, they have a news letter that supporters can subscribe to, for free, which is sent out in an email to arrive in your in box once a week. It tells fans all the latest comings and goings, whats going off team wise and even if meetings are on or off. What a daft idea................who the hell thought that would catch on. Just had another crazy idea. Perhaps advertising could be sold on it to help with the cost..........Naaaaaaa maybe not.

Big Al 710 Posted May 12, 2014 From the reports I have heard Paddy has decided that he picks up too many injuries in the UK and wants to concentrate on Denmark and Poland with his Polish club asking him to be out there on Saturdays to practice which obviously clashes with Leicester. So Leicester are back to looking for two riders It's sounding like the Polish clubs have become more demanding this season, with their non-Polish riders - along the lines of "if you don't turn up to Saturday practice you'll be lucky to get in the team on Sunday". I heard that Chris Harris was omitted from his team the other weekend, even after he did show up for the Saturday practice, and of course most Polish teams can operate this way as they have a squad system. I know they do this with their Polish riders, maybe they're playing hardball more and almost forcing riders to be there on Saturdays? It doesn't bode very well for the likes of Leicester and Eastbourne in terms of being able to sign and retain riders, does it? It was fairly obvious (to me, anyway!) right from the outset, that Leicester would encounter these difficulties in the EL, and I now start to wonder about what Mads' future is?

With instant information posted on the team website the moment it happens. It would be nice, but as there isn't an E.L. fixture until the 24th I would imagine desperate measures have been going on behind the scenes to try to get two replacements before the next meeting. Can't be easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMW 533 Posted May 12, 2014 I see. That'll be why he was in the team for the friendly return at Peterborough. He was in the country at the time for the testomonial staying with the Atwoods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted May 12, 2014 Wow if he's got away without a break it's a miracle!! Awful accident! Truly scary moment for Doyley, especially with the way his head hit the deck,I must say I feared the worst. Good to see it is not bad as first feared, still quite horrific pictures of his leg wounds on twitter. Get well soon mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hunter 373 Posted May 12, 2014 It would be nice, but as there isn't an E.L. fixture until the 24th I would imagine desperate measures have been going on behind the scenes to try to get two replacements before the next meeting. Can't be easy. Next fixture is away to Swindon on 22nd May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that the promotion were fairly quick in response to Jason's crash but why on earth do they leave us to rely on the rumours and hearsay and so called insider knowledge on this web site to find out what's happening with the club that we support? For example in last week's Speedway Star the Team Manager was reported as saying that Peter Ljung was unlikely to return (nothing on the web site!). And we read on here that Paddy is also likely not to come back. Why don't the club tell us what's going on - even if they just say that A & B are not coming back, we are hoping to sign two new riders in time for the meeting at Swindon on the 22nd. If we can't get them signed in time we will use guests/RR. Surely they can also tell us who they have ruled out and the reasons e.g. we can only sign one more doubling up rider, rider X has a lot of Saturday commitments etc. etc. I live in hope! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 12, 2014 Next fixture is away to Swindon on 22nd May. Okay fair enough - I didn't look at away fixtures. Regarding promoters not telling fans what's going on I'm afraid that's what usually happens so I didn't expect Leicester to be any different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
