That shouldn’t be the case, but you may be right!

When the team line up was confirmed before the start of the season, I was delighted that Gilkes would be replacing Joe T, as I thought that Joe unfortunately cost us some very important points last season and wouldn't win a race against the grading tractor. I've lost count of the number of chances Joe has been given with the Lions, but I agree, it would be harsh to let him go on current form. Didn't know he was using his brothers engine, is that the difference? I don't think that Joe has the same racing aggression as his brother, but seems to be a bit more on it this season. Is that down to confidence with the current engine?

Yes, he does, I visited him last week with three friends. When you get to the front door you have to lean across some stretched elastic to press the door bell. As the door opens, the elastic shoots up you walk under it and he welcomes you inside. Unfortunately we all tried to get through the door at the same time and fell over. He sent us back out again for another go.

Fricke did not set the place alight when he first arrived at Leicester, but he is a class act and will soon come good. He topped the league averages in the UK comfortably last season, enough said.

Was looking to follow this on the Updates site, but only the team totals are posted. What the hell is going on! Are the Comets riding pennyfarthings?Who is the star man that has managed a second place?

Looking at the first photo, Stead is about to wade in with his biro. The pen is mightier than the sword? 😄

My 50-40 prediction was pretty close, just one point out and the winning/losing teams the wrong way round 😂😂

Despite what you say, I still think that it’s unlikely that they will slip up again at home this season. They’ve had their arses kicked tonight and their Aussie contingent won’t like it!

Me neither! Talk about an all round team effort. Beating the Tigers in their own back yard is some feat. Dickson was saying that they were the strongest team in the league, which I agreed with. Bit early in the season to say that is a statement win, but hats off to the Lions. My prediction for tomorrow was for it to be light in the morning, hopefully I’ll get that one right!

Halfway stage, Lions in front despite the so called heat leaders not managing a heat win. Dickson will be pleased and frustrated at the same time!

If the Lions can restrict the Tigers to 50-40 they'll have done well. Can't see how the Lions can get the bonus point and it will be time to hand the cup back.

True, but without Kurtz, I didn’t think we’d get such a thumping as this. Two race wins, no heat advantages. Joe T beat an opponent, so not all doom and gloom.

That won’t be a problem so long as you’re not expecting it in one heat!

When it comes to heat 15, we all know that you need a big two. Sam Fox certainly has these (or at least used to). I now understand why the team nickname is the Foxes and not the Lusardi’s.

He won't be in any heat 15s for the Foxes, so should be able to get away early each week.

Does this Adrian Smith hand out the Iron Maiden tee shirts you referred to in a previous post to the mechanics? All seems to make sense!

‘BIG’ team announcement? Could be an overweight rider being named?Ben Barker?

So the owners are supposedly looking at options for replacing NKI, which is why some people seem to think that the team (along with everything else)hasn’t been announced yet. The prolonged silence would suggest that there are bigger issues behind the scenes.

Hopefully Buster didn’t crash his tractor in to the pit gate, because if it needs a new latch, this could put back the grand opening even further!

Not wanting to stir things up but I’ve often wondered if there was a similar scenario when Hemsley was the victim of a cash robbery when Leicester hosted the 4’s many years ago. It made local paper headlines when it happened, but it all went quiet after that and nobody was ever charged (to my knowledge anyway). Hemsley is no longer involved in the running of the club but still owns the premises.

Can’t believe that someone who seems to trawl through posts on this forum looking to pick a fight is telling someone else to calm down 😂😂

Spot on. Sums up why this venture has attracted so many negative comments from people that look at the bigger picture. We all want this to be a success but that doesn’t mean we can’t be realistic.

Thinking about poor Andrew, he reminds me of Man Utd, it’s all gone downhill since Fergie left 😂

Out of interest, is there anyone on this forum for whom Northampton will be their team to support?
