Leicester Lion 274 Posted May 31, 2014 Its not so much as putting Clubs before personal glory, Its a question of economics. They can earn far more on the continent at the weekends, than duly appearing for their club in a league match, whether they want to or not. So , for that reason, I, like you, think running Elite meetings at the weekend is a non-runner. Which club will Bjerre and Doyle be representing in the GP qualifier?

Trees 2,814 Posted May 31, 2014 Buster bit the bullet years ago and give up the precious Saturdays, they just don't work. Even more so now the gp series has soooo many!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racin Jason 72 1,267 Posted May 31, 2014 Buster bit the bullet years ago and give up the precious Saturdays, they just don't work. Even more so now the gp series has soooo many!!!! And banger racing brought far bigger crowds and revenue into the stadium on a Saturday night. Not knocking that as that's why buster has invested so much back into the stadium Used to go every sat night til it changed to a wed now it's perhaps once a season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 31, 2014 The loss of all the Saturdays has hit the fans 100% but while they all wax lyrical over the gps it'll stay the way :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted June 1, 2014 Hougaard due to make comeback in Poland today. So if successful that would mean he is officially expected to line up for Leicester again, beginning at Wolves on Monday. But the unofficial word is that he's quit the UK. If he doesn't ride for Leicester, what will happen? Leicester using a guest to cover a rider witholding his services? Which presumably only lasts short term. Buster bit the bullet years ago and give up the precious Saturdays, they just don't work. Even more so now the gp series has soooo many!!!! Only the PL/NL can work on weekend days. You also have the requirement of Polish teams for riders to attend Saturday practice over there. It's a non-runner.

tellboy 3,658 Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Well I was thinking Nermark could replace Lambert but have just noticed his average goes above Lamberts today.Can we have Milik for Porsing,don't understand what has happened to Milik's average but on 29/05/14 his average of 6.09 became effective,then on the 01/07/14 it went back down to 4.00 his assessed average.Why?,over to you SCB. I assume the BSPA have made a mistake on their website again and his average is actually 6.09 from the01/06/14 Edited June 1, 2014 by tellboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevethelion 192 Posted June 1, 2014 Kenneth Hansen is guesting for Leicester Hope that is for Hougaard & not Doyle. Hougaard was supposed to be riding in Poland today , but isn't riding for Lions tomorrow at Wolves (Schlein guests again) so we still really don't know whether he's returning or not.

g13webb 4,254 Posted June 2, 2014 I noticed that Newcastle used R/R for Rose yesterday. That can't be a good sign. Obviously the injury is taken longer than first envisaged . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted June 2, 2014 What a sorry state our beloved sport is at this level, what with foreign riders creating little or no loyalty with UK clubs or their fans, and the top foreign dogs using UK clubs to to obtain pre season training/testing before there Euro League seasons commence!! There just isn't any feeling of them being "our riders" anymore, can you still get riders photos centred in your clubs rosettes? Or are the rosettes centreless with a bit of Velcro, then you just but photos of who's riding for you tonight and bung um in the centre!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
