stevethelion 192 Posted June 12, 2014 Surely common sense will prevail & this meeting will be cancelled, With the GP qualifiers that day Swindon will be missing Batchelor & Kildemand . Lions will be without Doyle & Korneliussen plus still require a guest for Hougaard, unless a signing is made before then. Eastbourne have already cancelled their meeting that evening surely Leicester should follow suit & maybe re- arrange for the monday 23rd June. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Still can't believe Eastbourne have cancelled a meeting so have to assume it's actually them who have riders missing rather then their opponents as they always ride those!!!!!!!

flagrag 704 Posted June 13, 2014 Don't forget also that Kasabian are also doing a large outdoor concert in Leicester that night so again some of younger fans may be missing as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted June 13, 2014 Don't forget also that Kasabian are also doing a large outdoor concert in Leicester that night so again some of younger fans may be missing as well. That means anyone under 60, then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Observer 55 Posted June 13, 2014 Don't forget also that Kasabian are also doing a large outdoor concert in Leicester that night so again some of younger fans may be missing as well. As I understand it some of the track staff are going to the concert as well. Time to cancel, me thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted June 14, 2014 With the amount of riders missing from both sides and most of the other teams riders going into the GP qualifiers, it leaves very few decent riders to cover these places as with most of the other teams riders also riding in races abroad. You would be lucky if you are not draging riders from the Pl to cover these missing riders places. Time to say lets have it on another day. Pretty please. I for one will not bother traviling 25 miles to watch this meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,362 Posted June 15, 2014 Hopefully this will be rerranged. Because I work in London it is difficult for me to get to mostSwindon matches so I was thinking of going to this one as it is on a Saturday. Obviously I won't be going with these line ups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remembertheracers 171 Posted June 15, 2014 I also planned my first visit to the new Leicester, but not with so many riders missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Al 708 Posted June 16, 2014 Are there any Leicester season ticket holders out there with a view on this? (that's if there are any such people anyway!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainman 81 Posted June 16, 2014 Be interesting to see what crowd turns out ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted June 16, 2014 I would understand Leicester's stance on this if we were both battling for the play off's. But we are both gash and aren't going to make the top 4 so surely all they are doing is robbing the paying public, especially the season ticket holders, of a good match with 2 full strength teams. RR at number 1 for us just sums it all up. Shocking and yet another reason why this is the worst season in the 30 years i've been following speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets stop being too british whilst employing riders whose main income comes from mainland Europe. All teams race on the same night. I believe all fans would still turn up. Especially if all the top team riders are available!!. We love our racing but are fed up with being short changed. We really have to be more inclusive of the BIGGER speedway family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted June 16, 2014 It would serve the BP management right if not one single soul turned out to see this meeting. Surely it is still not to late to call it off. Why should the fans have to put up and make do with these boached together teams, and then be expexted to fork ou hard earned money to come along and watch it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionking 127 Posted June 16, 2014 This is going to turn out bad. You read DH programme notes in the meeting after the joke of a Swindon he will be moaning & threatening the future of speedway if the crowds are poor. But what can he expect everyone has told him that he is best to call it off . If he runs this match then he clearly thinks nothing of his supporters & gets everything he deserves. He will make a loss on this meeting . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
