    Leicester Lions 2016

    Hi Guys, I don't usually keep tabs on the forum these days, but it has been suggested that I have a read, as my name has sprung up a couple of times recently within the Leicester thread. After catching up on the posts, I am a little disheartened in the way that some opinions have been expressed. I think the most disappointing thing is the way in which these comments are written on a public forum in a clubs thread, and that it has distracted away from the team talk etc and potentially bringing negativity towards the club and the promotion, which is a big shame. However it is important that I must clarify one or two opinions which have been presented here as fact. I do not know who has posted the following comments, but I can say that they are simply not true. I have spoken to him and tried to help him and give him some tips on how to make his presentation better but his response was, "I have been a dj for over 20 years and don't need advice from you, if you don't like it don't come" I can truthfully and categorically say that this is totally false, I have never said, and never will, or even think: "I have been a DJ for over 20 years, I don't need advice from you, if you don't like it don't come ". I have spoken to, asked and been given much advice from many people over the years regarding presenting ideas etc. (I did in fact even post my personal email address on here or any help/advice/constructive criticism) Like anything in life, you can’t apply everyone’s suggestions, for instance ask any team manager what would happen if they did everything everyone tells them to do. I try to listen to everyone, take in everything that is suggested, digest it, apply what I think is right for my presenting style, and discount what I don’t believe is right for me. Ok, sometimes I get it wrong, but I do listen and take in thoughts and opinions and I am constantly working on improving in everything I do in life. I’m the first to put my hand up and say, 'you know what, I’m not perfect, I do make mistakes, but I try, and try harder to get better'. I know my presenting style or even my personality will not appeal to everyone, but I will do my best always. I am thrilled that I am back at Leicester on the centre green this year, and also at the Isle Of Wight as well. As I am doing all I can to help the sport that I love, and being amongst other likeminded people as part of a team. It’s a real shame, forums are such a great voice for the fans to get involved, but in my opinion, the way in which these opinions are put across have largely contributed towards promoters, riders and officials moving away from the forum, leaving the fans with a voice, but no one listening. Chris P.
  2. Does anyone have copies of the last 3 gps for sale on dvd ? cheers in advance Chris-P
  3. Ok,..... now that ive got my breath back after Sat nights shennanigans at Cardiff, i thought i would post a few bits n bobs thats we did post GP, as a way of reccomending the same to you guys & gals out there in British Speedway Forum land...... Ok, Instead of going down to Cardiff on the friday (work commitments wouldnt allow me)... The breadknife and I travel down on sat , getting train at 12pm.arrive cardiff 3.15, nicecly in time to drop bags at digs & go join the fun around the stadium. ( drove down first year,..never again !) This Year we booked to stay on sunday too,..the weather was excellent the sun was out most of the day, 1st reccomendaton: A tour of the millenium Stadium, every hour on the hour from 10am, £5.50 pp... see the changing rooms, players tunnel, out on the sideline of the pitch,royal box, VIP boxes,etc etc.learn about the roof & all the logistics of the stadium, there is also a massive hand painted speedway mural on the VIP exit from the stadium , made up of a collage of all the riders, all signed by the ridsers, i took some pics of that and will print them out as photos and frame them. The excellent tourguide "Pete" has lots of time for you, and answers all questions, allows photos & video...and you get a tour pass & neck strap to keep as a momento ( & if your are an annorack like me, you can collect a polystyrene cup of track shale from the piles that didnt get picked up by the machines!) Most of the previous nights event have already gone by morning, the track gets taken up overnight, all that remanined were trucks with the track safety barrier on etc. but to stand out there at the start line on the damp imprint of the track on the tarmack is amazing, Highly reccomended, you need to book in advance. details on the millenium stadium website. 2nd reccomendation, Cardiff Castle tour, (we did this last year before getting train home on sunday) Highly recomended. 3rd reccomendation. Take a bus to Cardiff Bay..... an amazing place, the home of the welsh opera house ( the armadillo building) and the welsh national assembly building, now we are no fans of architecture or anything tlike that, but the whole place is amazing, esp the opera house, where DR Who has been filmed (hostpital scene with the sisiters of plenitude nurses? ) again, not a Dr Who fan, but was nice to see the exibits on show. The bay in general is a real case of old meets new, with the old bay itself, & parts of the old piers & jettys, years old. all mixed with new & very trendy settings that put where i live to shame, lots of trendy restaurants & bars, or do what we did , sit and eat Harry Ramsdens fish & chips on the tables outside, surrounded by scavenging seaguls. I know a lot of people travel on friday & do stuff in Cariff, but arriving sat, then doing stuff sunday is a lot more relaxing, less stressfull,less crowded, etc. As a bonus we sat in a pub called the Queens Vaults and watched a scene from torchwood being filmed outside the building directly opposite( again im not a fan, but my daughter is so i toook pics & video for her)..... we saw a building get blown up by a young teenage girl who was apparently an alien, she was really sweet and smiled & waved to us. captain jack was standing beside a BMW wich was blown out in the blast too, it was amazing to whitness, and my wife picked up some of the rubble props material for my daughter. If any fans of torchwood would like any pics of the scene, pm me and send email adress. apparently the scene is from a show going out early in the new series starting soon, 3rd scene in the show we were told. We are going back to the same guest house , 4th yr running next year. we are keeping that location secret though ! lol
  4. On the subject of over enthusiastic security at the GP........We read on the back of our tickets regarding video filming, wich read something like, " still or moving photography is alowed at the GP , but only for personal use" ..or words to that effect. But,.... my wife was told to turn our video camera off by a steward,.... i explained and even showed him what it said on the ticket, but he was relentless. Then, ten minutes later he came back and said, ..carry on filming, if i dont see you, your ok !?..... Bloody hypocrite !! lol.......... mixed mesages or what. Then, low and behold on our tour of the stadium on sunday morning (wich i can highly reccomend!)...the tour guide said we were free to film on camera and video, so its ovbviousely not a stadium rule, and the FIM said on the tickets it wasnt a problem with them, so what was this stupid steward on about ? JOBSWORTH !
  5. Exactly !!......................... I rest my case
  6. A very adult & mature reply indeed !
  7. Well Well, never was the saying "he who has the last laugh" truer than with Bomber winning the GP. Where are the scheptics who posted stuff like, "its too soon for Chris Harris to be in the GP" and "he doesnt deserve to have been picked" etc etc Or what about those that said " Ok,....Chris Harris did well getting on the rostrum, but it was on a track he favours,wait till he rides the GP on a man made track, etc etc, blah blah" Large portion of humble pie for table number 4 please !!! Oh ye of little faith........... If Bomber came up for sale would any of you lot be itching for your team managers to bid on him ?.............. you know you would. Justice was done at Cardiff....................LONG LIVE THE BOMBER !! kEEP YER CHIN UP SCOTTY BOY, IT CERTAINLY WASNT FOR LACK OF TRYING ME OLD SON !!.................TOP EFFORT.
  8. I cant be assed to read every single post on this thread, But my opinion is,.., Germanys equivelant to Bomber Harris from the war days would probably be The Red Barron............... If there was a german speedway rider called Hans "Red Barron" Shmidt ! I for one wouldnt be offended,........would anyone else ??
  9. 4th bend, middle tier, front row.......GET IN !!! CUUUMON BOMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR CUMMON SCOTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

    Chris Harris

    WELL DONE CHRIS "BOMBER "HARRIS !!! A REAL SCRAPPER, TRYER, RACER...ALL IN ALL A "PROPPER JOB" I HAD A GOOD FEELING THAT BOMBER WOULD DO WELL,BUT DIDNT DARE SHOUT ABOUT IT ON HERE FOR FEAR OF SARCASTIC REPRISAL. AND I URGED THOSE WHO WERE WHINGING TO GET BEHIND THE BRITS. WELL DONE BOMBER..... LONG MAY YOUR FORM CONTINUE !!! WELL DONE SCOTTY TOO,... MOST MEN ON THIS FORUM WOULDNT GO TO WORK WITH A BROKEN THUMB, INCLUDING ME !... LET ALONE RACE A FRIGGIN SPEEDWAY BIKE,... SCOTT DESERVES RESPECT FOR THE VERY FACT THAT HE WAS EVEN THERE.
  11. I reccon a good choice of warm up act would be the Proclaimers..... They are enjoying a bit of a revival at present and 500 miles is an anthem, always has been, even gets 700 people in a nightclub singing along..always has done, and im talking the original, not the new peter kay version........ I think they would go down well,... speedway fans love thier anthems after all
