Excited to be back in the lions den this evening! Can't wait to hear the noise and smell those bikes roaring. Here's to great a night of speedway although I don't think it will be a close one...

Looking forward to welcoming Birmingham to the lions den this month although I'm abit nervous thinking Birmingham won't have enough riders.

Hard one to predict this year. Some much improved teams and there's always club that are up there. This is going on the assumption of Pooles team being strong again and Berwick getting a good heat leader. Il probably change my mind every day until the tapes rise. 1.Poole 2.Glasgow 3. Leicester 4. Edinburgh 5. Plymouth 6. Oxford 7. Berwick 8. Redcar 9. Scunthorpe 10. Newcastle 11. Brummies

Just been hearing it from some good people that is all. People who went the practice day found out some info I heard.

Looks like the Thomson twins will riding in the national League ..there clearly too good for it but need regular rides. I'm only thinking this because they need regular meetings and with the uncertainty of the new no 8s in the prem

It's a good team , what I will say is compared to last year's towards then end as much as we looked good on paper the balance seemed all over the place. Hans Anderson never really got going and Douglas got a little inconsistent. Couldn't fault kennedy but Dan struggled riding at 2. This year's team isn't as strong but the balance is spot on .play offs but not winning the league for me

The averages have been released by leciester . Nick Morris 8.58, Richie Worral 7.93, Kyle Howarth, 7.60, Connor Mountain 5.06, Dan Thomson 4.92 , Anders Rowe 3.69, Joe Thomson 3.55. Total 41.33

It is a team full racers and expecting some poor gating and sublime passing!

Agree. Think if like you said they improve then we will be fine. But if they don't kick on then we're stuck abit. Our team is solely based on potential.

Thinking of Josh bates wooopppss my apologies

I had no idea Rowe was suffering from a knee injury last season which he explains why he struggled at leciester last season. Dickson reckons he should be pushing for a heat leader spot. If he does kick on and Dan struggles in the main body you could see them swapping positions.

Anders Rowe is the final signing for the lions. It's a good team let's hope it's good enough to win something !

We will see, you maybe surprised..or right..

Poole will be challenging. It's in there DNA. I expect Worral and Danny king and Lawson as the 3 heat leaders. That's going to take some stopping .

Bottom next year then?

Im just comparing it to last year's team surely it's improved but not play off challenging?

Whoever we sign I trust Stewart . Done the double and got to two semi finals. He builds good teams

So guys who had the strongest team so far? Certainly the teams last year the struggled have improved especially Plymouth . Newcastle have done some decent business. Leicester will be strong again

I don't have sympathy for Poole. Yes Basso probably was expected to sign but like Plymouth expected Lawson to come. Poole are a well run club and will find a replacement.

I like young riders at Leicester. Ain't complaining about rowe if he signs..just from my point of view the boss has always stated having riders that perform well at Leicester is a must. And rowe didn't . That's all.

What's basso average?

Sounds incredible and shame that meeting didn't go ahead at the time. There's a seriously top rider in Dan.

Think your right there. Can't see us losing many at home . Dan broke the national League track record at leciester not long back at 61 seconds. Quicker than most heats. Joe rides the track well along with mountain. All heat leaders are seriously strong at leciester but away from home the kids struggled. Let's hope they've learned some lessons from riding away and will kick on again

Anders Rowe just doesn't make sense to me. Why would we sign him ? We already have two 17 years old and young Connor mountain. Rowe rode poor at leicester last time out and Dickson has always said he wants riders that perform well at Leicester. Seems odd to me

Last time out Anders rowe scored a grand total of zero last time he rode at leciester
