Nobblytriers 201 Posted May 17, 2014 OK, I'll say Emil Heskey, sorry Sayfutdinov, then, He's Russian, would certainly be a major signing. I don't know if he plays guitar or if his girlfriend's Latvian or attractive, and he may even be related to Mrs Hemsley? This all sounds exciting doesn't it? It's begining to look alot like Christmas .... hey, that's it... Santa! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted May 17, 2014 I am not sure if Lassie will be able to make it at no.2. From what I remember of him riding in the EL he was pretty inconsistant. It would be nice to see him make the grade, with a few good meetings under his belt it could be the making of him. He may even get to make a place in the GP's come a year or two's timje. It seems like we will be having half a new Lions team by the middle of the season. With a bit of luck and a few more of the right riders, we should start to slowly move up the league table.

LionsDen 124 Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) As everyone's playing 'guess the rider' I'll go for Artem Laguta. The promoter used to talk about him as far back as 2010. Edited May 18, 2014 by LionsDen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted May 18, 2014 It is that time again just sit back and wait and see. We will all know by the end of the next couple of weeks no doubt. Just wished they could just come out and tell everyone what was going on why all the secrets. It is more like being in the MI5 instead of being a speedway club. Where the fans pay to help keep the club afloat. I am sure they should be more open and let thing know what is happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CB252 1,376 Posted May 18, 2014 Why's everyone guessing? It is Artem Laguta. Â Terms agreed, paperwork pending. He's struggled to get into the UK before so this could be the stumbling block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about because they don't know? You ask the question as if the answer's common knowledge. Appologies for not sharing your wisdom but this has made a change from posting about the BP track.

mrcts 252 Posted May 18, 2014 Why's everyone guessing? It is Artem Laguta. Â Terms agreed, paperwork pending. He's struggled to get into the UK before so this could be the stumbling block. Hope you're right......just been looking at his scores on speedwayresults.com, very rarely scores under double figures in the top polish and Swedish leagues.
