Crazy robin 2,963 Posted October 13, 2014 Nice that Hemsley is talking to Doyley already about next season & whilst I know it doesn't matter a jot who's assett he is isn't it about time the fans knew what the protocol is with these things. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lionking 127 Posted October 14, 2014 That won't happen where the uk run on 1 night because most tracks are rented so can only run on certain nights . As i understand DH has proposed that each club sign 2 no 1 riders which then the club decide who they use for each given match. This would avoid getting a different guest every week & also would not ask for so much commitment from top riders e.g Woffinden & Lindgren share no1 at wolves neither are committed to doing all matches People seem to be forgetting that the EL may be moving towards midweek speedway next year, so signing any GP rider wouldn't necessarily be a problem - subject to the usual points limitations.

Or so Jon Cook said at Lakeside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted October 15, 2014 DH & Norrie Allen didn't manage to speak to Jason Doyle at the weekend about signing next year, not a good sign, me thinks, but they did get to speak to other rider who rode in the GP that showed some interest in riding for the Lions next year acording to todays repot on the Lions website. It looks like it is going to be a case of wait and watch this space on the Lions site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justathought 374 Posted October 16, 2014 I'm hearing from a friend that BBC Radio Leicester report that Doyle has signed for us.

SCOTLAND1314 121 Posted October 16, 2014 1500 - 2000 ? Interesting. When I've been down it didn't look anything like that but maybe these were just one or two of the lesser crowd sizes. I was just asking as I wondered how likely the revenue would be able to support another Gp (type of) rider. Do Leicester break even or make a profit just now?

I haven't been to every single meeting this year in fact I am short of quite a few but that would be average. Crowds were a bit sparse last season but there has been an increase this year and when Cov or Wolves were in town i'd say more. I suppose it depends on what other revenue you are working with. If you don't rely on gate receipts solely your attendance can fluctuate. 'Sound financial footing' apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
