  1. Taking all views on board but have any of them told paying fans " if you don't like me then maybe it's best they don't attend " ????
  2. After abit of discussion on the Scunthorpe vs Leicester about Rob Godfrey & Chris Popple. I thought i would open it up generally. So who is the worst presenter you have ever come across around the country. For me it is Chris Popple at Leicester. Constant mistakes, Awful high pitched & annoying voice, massive lack of speedway knowledge , poor personality, then there is the massive ego he has strolls around the stadium with his sun glasses on looking down his nose at people . This is all topped off by his argumentative side where if anyone dares to criticise then he will have public arguments telling people " if they don't like me don't come to speedway" His mistakes get worse each week . Saturday in heat 15 we had Steve Cook instead of Craig Cook & topped off with Magnus Karlsberg ha ha ha Magnus has only been riding for lions 2 .1/2 years yet he still constantly gets it wrong Just dreadful !!!!!
  3. Well i think asking KK was abit of a tongue in cheek question as i think its common knowledge that he will be our No1 next season if we step up
  4. He is just a joke & should stick to being a 80's DJ Leicesters answer to Mark & Lard ;-)
  5. Are you on about Popple or Sensicall ? Popple is draining & awful mistake after mistake with him. i mean in heat 15 CHRIS COOK ?? I think Sensicall is very good if he was left to do it all Leicester's presentation would be top draw or am i the only person who thinks that.
  6. Was you in the pits then because the apex of 1&2 is in the pits. Like you say agree to disagree on this 1 by the looks of it.
  7. To be honest from my view on bend 1 Edberg ran Carr up the banking hard but there was no contact then Edberg turn & went down the straight. I agreed with the referee because there was plenty of racing room & it looked like Carr's inexperience showed & bailed off the bike.
  8. Bad news for Leicester they sign 2 riders but looks like will still have R/R in the team because Kevin Doolan has broken his ribs
  9. Problem at scunthorpe that day was Godfrey counted down announced he had been excluded when he still had 30 seconds left
  10. Now official Leicester sign Linus Eklof & Simon Nielsen to replace Kauko Nieminen & James Sarjeant Discuss ???
  11. Everyone naming Jari Makinen. you all seem to forget that the poor lads leg is still in about 5 pieces being held together by metal rods so isn't going anywhere a speedway track anytime soon.
  12. Can i ask what Berwick fans don't like about Alex Edberg ? He has joined Leicester & been a breath of fresh air while giving us some much needed strength at reserve .
  13. Thanks very much He is a 120% trier & fans favorite at Leicester hopefully our 2 clubs can sort something then :-)
  14. Hopefully you won't want Alex Edberg then the Lions can have him back in 2014 ;-)
  15. Come on this bloke surely can't be worse then Chris Popple at Leicester ?? Hated by 95% of the crowd
  16. Sunday racing again at JRSS Teams LEICESTER 1. Lasse Bjerre 2. Jan Graversen 3. Kauko Nieminen 4. Kevin Doolan 5. Magnus Karlsson 6. Alex Edberg 7. James Sarjeant RYE HOUSE 1. Oliver Allen 2. Jason Bunyan 3. Andres Mellgren 4. Josh Bates 5. Tyson 6. Kasper Lykke 7. Pontas Aspgren Could be a close match with such a strong reserve in Aspgren. Hopefully lions will pick up a rare 3 point victory to avenge the 3 points i think they will lose the night before when the teams clash at Hoddesdon
  17. Why are Rye entitled to NL guest for Garrity??? He is Not a reserve Not a no 1 Or not missing a match due to commitments with another club on the continent which is usually why you have to run with NL guest. He is injured riding in the main body of the team at 2-5 so my understanding is they have to use R/R ????
  18. Another point dropped at home :-( Sargent looked more on the pace then branford & will be a better option for us. The Bjerre/Graversen partnership certainly couldn't be any better 3 5-1's The nemo / Doolan partnership will be a gem for us doolan can ride the dirt while nemo sits on the line like he expertly does. Very disappointed in Adam Ellis after how he rode for Ipswich at JRSS he looked like an amateur rider last night when we needed him most but he is a guest so how much of his heart was in it you have to question. Finally cheering when riders have fallen is TOTALLY wrong especially after the crash i had seen on friday night at Scunthorpe where someone was in intensive care & unable to be brought round. You all should be ashamed of yourselfs !!!!!!!
  19. Thoughts go out to one of the nicest speedway riders you could meet. I was at the meeting on friday & to be honest it looked a horror crash from bend 3 just how serious i was soon to find out as i made my way out :-( Be strong sticky ricky
  20. I an entitled to my opinion as a paying supporter paying his wages. I have spoken to Robert asked him how he felt about riding for Leicester. "He said it pays the bills better then not riding " so to me that says he doesn't care about wearing that lions head that so many people care about.
  21. You can call me what you like but im afriad stats don't lie. He isn't good enough to ride PL. As for being miles away from home . I thought he was British ???? Or does that not quite suit him anymore. No mechanic = poor preperation. Thing that bugs me is his attitude like he couldn't give a flying f**k about Leicester as long as those gaurentee's keep rolling in
  22. He has " just been finding his confidence " since Redcar 1st signed him i think it's time Branford just accepted he isn't good enough for PL racing.
  23. Looking back on paper our team last season on paper it is weaker but in reality it was stronger. As much as people moaned about him we had Jari Makinen at reserve who you could rely on scoring 7 points every home match. His away form left alot to be desired but we covered that with the main body. Far too weak at reserve this season Branford is the worst person to pull a new era lions jacket on. He has the biggest ego & his U21 title was the biggest fluke in the world . Unfortunately that boosted his far too big ego. He walks round & talks like Jason Crump but gets on a bike & rides like Donald Trump ;-)
  24. Winning at Rye House is going to be terribly hard with Guest for Lasse Bjerre (who will be No1 from 1st August) ( Under 21 at Berwick) R/R for Kauko Nieminen (Injured) Guest for Alex Edberg (Injured) NL guest for Robert Branford ( Reserve for the Under 21 at Berwick) So we will go there with a team of 1.Guest 2.Jan Graversen 3.R/R 4.Kevin Doolan 5.Magnus Karlsson 6.Guest 7.NL Guest
