Mr Bump 254 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) I've still got my tickets from July so will keep holding out in the hope that this meeting does actually take place...Have a feeling though this meeting will not be Leicester v Kings Lynn. More like Leicester 'select' v almost a Kings Lynn team. Oh well, better than nowt I suppose. Edited October 14, 2016 by Mr Bump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester Lion 274 Posted October 15, 2016 Just to repeat what I posted on another thread: I hope that all of you out there who, for whatever reason, have stopped going to Beaumont Park try to go on the 22nd if you can to demonstrate to any potential new promoter that there is still a large fan base who want to see speedway stay in Leicester. Any potential promoter worth his salt will already have done his homework about the fanbase and the large number of once-regulars who stopped going during the Hemsley era. Save your money for a relevant meeting instead of wasting it on this non-event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toatal farce then and is now - Leicester speedway should hang there heads in shame . Sorry, but the track wasn't waterlogged, it had a solid base, admittedly, the top dressing was wet, but was drying out, the riders were to blame for this farce, the main protagonist being Shlein, and the rest of the sheep followed his lead.. We've all seen speedway start with wet tops, once you've had 3 to 4 races, the shale gets turned over and dry lines appear.... Every man and his/her dog thought this would go ahead, in this instance, the riders were to blame. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The base must have been 6" under the slop on the top then because even the tractor couldn't get round without sliding. I wouldn't fancy the bikes being able to turn so Rory was right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honey Monster 47 Posted October 17, 2016 Sad state of affairs running a League meeting long after the title has been won...... Its a sad state of affairs all round. I cant believe how its all gone. The fans have been treated with contempt. The club cant run without the fans, yet the fans are treated so bad. No surprise that it has all ended like this. So much enthusiasm and hope when we opened back in 2011. To quote a certain person, " I want to make Leicester Lions the best club in the country" it seems its the worst club in the country. Lets hope that someone can still see the potential of the club and take us forward to what we deserve. Crazy playing a league match after the final has taken place. At least we still get to see another match before the end of the season though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
