Seventies music played over the PA……surrounded by pensioners with programme boards…..ah, takes me back…..to the meeting I attended last week!

Don’t think there will be too many complaints from the Lions camp as they would have been without Thompson and Howarth.

I was reading that Gary May was helped with team manager duties last night by……..Ryan Guest! How did he get in on the act? The sport is saturated with rider guest appearances and now we have a Guest guesting as a bloody team manager😀 Only in speedway as we all keep saying.

If that’s true it is a little nieve of the club for a rider averaging below 7.00. So when it gets to a last heat decider and Sam has had a stinker, he will still be in heat 15 will he?🤔

Live updates, great! Just like the ones that are freely available for every meeting on the proboards website!

Garbage! Most Lions fans are thrilled with his contribution this season. You might want to look at the riders scores again? Kemp could have scored more than he did if not for mechanical issues ( his own fault admittedly).Dougy was outstanding and the rest of the team were solid against the team that has the best combined heat leader trio in the league. Tonight was a great example of what team speedway should be about.

Woffy is a very determined character and speedway is like drug to him. Whilst I agree that it’s his choice when he decides to quit but that of course is on the assumption that there are teams out there willing to take a risk on him and are prepared to offer the payment he would demand.

Looking at the rolling averages, Howarth will be at reserve next month. He’s not actually riding badly but Kemp has made such a great start to the season. Kyle will hopefully fill his boots at No.6. I can see Morris having stint in that berth as well before too long.

That’s a very positive post! The sport as a whole needs people you and your son. You say you have been away from the sport but it’s still in great shape (🤭) so onwards and upwards as they say.

That’s the spirit, good on yah! Judging by the negativity on this thread the pre meeting parade could consist of you and a few others being introduced to the riders!

Hope Kurtz doesn’t read this Mike, gingers don’t do sun 😞

Me neither and that goes for everyone else in my family and circle of friends. On the plus side, I will inform Lemo that I am doing all I can to come up with crowd guest replacements just to keep everything ‘speedway’ in GB.

Don't know how much longer Dan T will be out but I would've thought Dickson would make a swift 28 day offer to Lewis Kerr before someone else grabs him.

I meant BZ not BM!

Yeah hope he’s okay. His health is all that matters but I bet he will be gutted if he can’t make the next GP as I think he will be looking to close in on BM this year.

As a Lions fan I'd be disappointed if we didn't come away with a win. Kerr and Howarth will hopefully be able to offer some advice on bike set ups having already ridden there. Interesting that the Foxes have paired together two riders who have yet to ride the track.

The league already has Ben & Zach…… Too many Cooks as the saying goes 🤨

Clubs are always telling us that one of the main reasons for early call offs is flying riders in. Now if all clubs had their own private jets……….I’ll get my coat😔

Perhaps the next Jason Garrity is out there just waiting for an opportunity?

You certainly have to be dedicated for this game. All that travelling and behind the scenes preparation for 4 maybe 5 minutes racing!

Car stickers? Hope they have plenty. I can just a fight breaking out between two Ford Cortina owners over the last sticker in the track shop 😆

I think you are right about the R/R & guest scenario with home and away meetings. If Dan is going to be out for any more than a month, I wonder if Dickson has thought about bringing in Sedgmen as a short term replacement? I think has away scores might be a concern though.

Massive blow if that’s the case. He is currently riding at No.2 but I don’t think it’s unrealistic for him to be second in the team averages before too much longer. It’s always difficult to get cover for riders on the up having an average below their current form, so hope he won’t miss too many meetings. Early days I know but I’m starting to have second thoughts about Gilkes. Love watching him, a real trier/racer, but is his injury record down to bad luck? Continued injuries will bring is technique/ bike control into question.

He blows hot and cold at Leicester anyway. Not many options on other rider availability, particularly at this late hour. Unless they can persuade Zach Cook to travel back with them it looks like R/R.
