4.40 if you prefer him to Kemp

Im just wondering, with Kemp seemingly not back at Berwick, if he and SD have "gone their separate ways" and an experienced rider with past success at Leicester could be a better choice at 6?

Personally I think Kemp's the better rider, but have obviously heard of his temperament issues. In a slightly weaker league, Sedgmen should be a pretty decent reserve.

Kemp will stay I reckon, would love to see Fricke back but think his average is too high. Wouldn't be surprised at Douglas and masters are spearheading the team with a strong middle orded of Kyle, Dan T (rumoured) and Nick.

I presume by Nick you mean old Sniffer Morris?

Fricke has definitely signed for King’s Lynn (I heard that from Masters himself)

Good words from Stewart Dickson in the statement.

Fricke will score Double Figures every week no doubt about it, But do you actually gain anything if you've effectively got to go with 2 Rising Stars at reserve as well as a 4.00 Newcomer in the 1-5 who's got no British experience?

As we all know, Leicester's undoing over the last couple of seasons has been the reserve berths.

Finally announced what was agreed and has been an open secret sincere about August then ;)

I think the vast majority of Ipswich fans will be hugely disappointed to see him go but delighted if Dan can keep progressing

I feel having the comfortable surroundings of what he obviously sees as home will help him make the next steps on the international stage

A decent talent with a determined attitude and a solid professional approach so should continue to do well

I think Leicester should be congratulated for their use of social media in the last few weeks. They were the first, if not only club to update their supporters on what their plans were, then they announce the departure of their best rider (with Max confirming this 15 minutes later) but within 12 hours announce the signing of Thompson. Anyone would think they actually have put some thought into how they use social media & have a strategy.

If this is the case can other clubs please take note....

Leicester have set an example and every Club needs to follow.

Social Media is a big part of today's world and Clubs have to get with the times to work the Social Media game.

I see that side as solid and without a tail. With a decent rising star it will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

That remains to be seen if any of the top lads stay, if they do, Leicester will be sunk without a number 1.

I'd like to see Tom Brennan in the team sheet his KO Cup performances for us
