GoldenGauntlet 45 Posted April 6, 2017 300m according to last Saturday's programme. They only took 2m off with the changes to bends 1 & 2 then? Looked a lot more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted April 9, 2017 It's sad that you have gone again glyn as you did a good job,Do you think another return will be happen as you have gone a few times now and then returned ? I don't think so, the track since had been awful.. GT treated like a disposable commodity, which is wrong.. Not only can he prepare a race circuit, but he gets the best out of antiquated equipment!! If he hasn't got it, he makes it!! The bowser broke down last night, an hour before the start, if GT had been there it would have been repaired straight away, even if it only did the meeting, he would have got it working.... I have never seen so much track lamination, ruts, bumps, and out by the fence was a minefield.... It's a shame, but I don't think Glyn will be back, I hope he gets another gig sorted asap, he knew every nook and cranny of the Leicester circuit, he will be sorely missed.. Treated very poorly by the club... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted April 9, 2017 Not the only one treated poorly by the club. Like him or hate him there is a big Chris Popple gap in the presentation which has gone downhill since last season and it's sad not to see the smiley face of Danielle at the gate. It's nice to be able to use the buggy to get up the hill as it's a long walk from the shopping centre but even that was struggling last night and almost at a standstill. It actually stopped altogether at one point and someone got off and helped push it, which is not really the point of it as if we use it then like me we probably have mobility problems. Surely knowing its going to be used regularly backwards and forwards on a Saturday night the batteries could have been fully charged up beforehand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I have just said, bloody awful, and that's an understatement.. Some of the ruts i'd need ladders to get in and out of!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckettlion 195 Posted April 9, 2017 Good to see Josh Auty scored 14 today for Scunthorpe. Hopefully this will kick start his season. Him, King and Gomolski have been underperforming so far. If those three race like they can then we really will be a force to be reckoned with this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Hunter 370 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) have you been sacked by any chance? Is Terry Chrabaszcz, the new Lion's track curator, the Guy who was track curator at Coventry? I seem to remember there was some controversy over the way he prepared the track there. Does anyone know his background? There has been nothing on the Lion's website about his appointment. His name has suddenly appeared in the list of Leicester officials. Edited April 10, 2017 by Happy Hunter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
