Lions v Witches, Monday 6th July

[Phannan]

He’s obviously taking the p*ss out of the sport and all those involved in it , fellow riders, fans , everyone. Because he’s allowed to. Imagine Keane ringing Ferguson to tell him he’ll be late. Then ringing him again to say he won’t be turning up at all actually. Hope the new owners turf him out with that attitude and lack of respect for everyone who pays his wages. Let him carry on being a flat track bully with the rest of them down on the south coast.

The riders of a certain level can do what they want, given there are so few of them...

They hold down two positions and often are HL's in both leagues..

Meaning they are pretty much "bomb proof"..

Those who say we cannot have "one big league" due to the disparate standards between the riders that would need to be used, need to imagine what the next five years or so are going to bring when all the "vastly experienced" DU's have retired...

Many teams will be using current NDL lads to DU , and these lads even in five or so years, will still be well off the standard of today's HL DU's..

No point sacking Lawson now because the replacement won't be as good.

Won't be back next season for sure as Mayfield won't put up with situations like last night, Possibly more too this than meets the eye imo because it all sounds very shifty imo, Maybe it's fuel testing on something like PhilTheAce said?

Next season has to be a drastic change though, Minimum of 4 riders being given the chop from this season potentially 5.

Sack him off now, Richard Coleman hinted they weren't happy with riders being late, missing track walks, wrong kit & missing parade truck (all done by Lawson) and he doesn't fit the team ethos they seem to be trying to install.

I used to like Lawson when he was a Lion, always gave everything I thought. Reading posts on here, he couldn’t wait to get away from KL last season and now appears to be rubbing up the Ipswich people the wrong way. Looks like there is a side to him that we didn’t get to see at Leicester.

I thought he was our rider of the year in 2023 and continued his magnificent partnership with Max Fricke in 2024... I was pretty shocked when he decided to walk away at the end of that year... but as he's had more clubs than [INSERT NAME OF FAVOURITE GOLF PLAYER HERE]. It seems that he doesn't take his team Speedway as seriously as many of the fans do but he's by no means alone in that where riders are concerned.
