Suggestions on here last season that the relationship wasn't good No idea but neither party can be a chooser. Joe Thompson is the best RS available around Leicester and he needs the experience and money. Dickson needs a RS who can ride Leicester well and have the beating of the oppositions RS at Home most weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe relations are better now and Mr Cairns is keen that the Thompson family are involved at Leicester as he is a huge promoter of British youth Speedway. I would agree that Dan or Joe T are probably the best RS round Leicester it was Dan’s away form that was the issue last season but showed that he improved greatly towards the end of the season.

I really hope not. Joe isn't as much of a racer as Dan. I would rather Boughen over JT TBH. There are better options available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s more Chapman than Holder - when Peterborough dropped Holder before a wheel had turned and brought in Pedersen instead - that worked out well - NOT!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
