weatherwatcher 664 Posted June 22, 2015 He had to have an operation to wire his hand up towards the end of May. I think the six/eight weeks start from then. That is what was said on the SCB website, so by the time he gets back and fit to race again the season will be almost over for him. The problem lies with the fact that they are now calling on 2 guest reserves, some of the ones they have been getting are not just not scoring the points, it was a good job the main team did so well on Saturday, because the 2 reserves could well have cost the meeting. When you are up against the 4 clubs that have reserves that are scoring double figures at most meetings it makes the reserves a laghing stock, when you see some of the meetings that the 2 of them are coming away with over 20 points between them. It is time that they where all chosen on a level basis. Not 2 lads that are winning mettings for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionking 127 Posted June 22, 2015 To quote Norrie Josh is out till the end of July we have to look to replace him because we can only use Steve Worrall & Charles Wright 4 times each Was that from the injury happening or is that a fresher update ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted June 26, 2015 Brilliant. Colin was always one of my favourite Leicester riders and I couldn't stand Ole Olsen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shirl 165 Posted June 27, 2015 Lions fans, found this video on youtube of my old man stopping Coventry getting into the Cup Final back in the 80's This is brilliant,for me he's a legend and I was at the meeting at the time so brings back great memories. Cov always brought lots of one eyed supporters and they came expecting to win (which they normally did) but not that night. I hope your dad is well- a lions legend Shirl Brilliant. Colin was always one of my favourite Leicester riders and I couldn't stand Ole Olsen. I couldn't agree with you more Gem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted June 27, 2015 Lions fans, found this video on youtube of my old man stopping Coventry getting into the Cup Final back in the 80's Brilliant. Thank you so much for that. Watched it with great pleasure and a tinge of sadness. I lived in Peterborough during that era and drove back along the A47 in whatever spluttering rust heaps I had at the time. The Cookmobile always cruised past me somewhere near Uppingham en route back to Suffolk - Nissan Bluebird maybe, or Merc estate? - anyway it was a privilege being regularly overtaken by Colin Cook on a Tuesday night! Will always be in my best ever Leicester select team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Shame Colin didn't know the way to Wolverhampton though. We once followed him thinking a speedway rider would definitely be on the right track but he got off at junction 9, drove down the road then into a petrol station, turned round and back on the M6 with us following. We all got there eventually. There was another match I recall against Coventry (got the video somewhere) when Mark Courtney was trailing his leg through a big puddle on the track so it splashed Ole Olsen on each lap. Have I mentioned I used to hate Ole? I thought it was great. Edited June 27, 2015 by Gemini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
