Leicester Lions 2026

[TTT]

Who do you want to see line-up for the Lions in 2026?

[FishersGate]

Whatever Stewart wants basically. He builds great teams

[Lionsman66]

Fricke , Lawson , Douglas build around those 3

A decent RS is my wish, as this is the position we've struggled with in the last couple of seasons. I really liked what I saw in Dan Gilkes in his brief stint before he got injured and would love to see him back as our No.7. I'd trust Dickson in his judgement with the other six riders.

I wanted Ipswich to win it this year because I’ve felt they’ve deserved to for building consistently one of the best teams, and arguably the best in recent years and been so unlucky for one reason or another. Now they’ve won it, I’m aboard the Leicester train for 2026. Runner up twice in a row, I’d like to see them go one better next time. 
 

Make sure to retain Fricke as priority, and work down from there.

[Bagpuss]

I'd say if they can get the reserves right to add to the kind of top five they’ve had the last couple of years then they have every chance in 2026.

Fricke will be a certainty if the points limit is high enough. Can also see Nick Morris being drafted back in. Unfortunately, due to their success Leicester will be punished by having to weaken their team. Dickson might have to go further afield and get some riders from the continent.

1. Fricke - 10.04

2. N Morris - 5.89

3. Becker - 6.87

4. Lawson - 6.99 (6.82)

5. Masters - 7.15

6. 3-point assessed foreigner 

7. D Gilkes - RS

Total - 39.94 (39.77)
