1 valve 558 Posted October 19, 2018 With a new Team Manager and Co-Promoter already on board for 2019 can anybody who is truly "in the know" shed any light on the owners intentions for next season in terms of staying in the top flight or dropping down a level. Whilst no doubt speedway fans will as usual have to endure a long winter of speculation and forum trolling as well as debate concerning the possibilities and merits of one league, two league or no leagues It would be encouraging to hear something regarding the Lions future intentions ASAP. Over to you guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 19, 2018 Well Sheffield are staying where they are (Speedy Star 18/10/18) so not sure if that has any direct effect on Leicester's plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 704 Posted October 21, 2018 Plans are well into place for 2019 which will please some fans but maybe not all will like the changes the club will be bringing. Nothing can be confirmed until after the BSPA AGM next month with regards to the team and league but other improvements at Leicester may be announced before then.

Needs a better track, but you don't have much room. Mind you there ain't as much passing these days, anywhere. BV excluded. Your track is listed as 317 m. So you would have to go smaller.. Maybe take 25m off of the inside of the bends and bank it to the max allowed (can't remember how much) making it 292m Remember Coventry was only 301m and didn't ride like a small track.

Mr Bump 254 Posted October 23, 2018 Track is currently 300 metres in length. I’d certainly be happy if the promotion are trying to get Nicholas Busk Jacobsen on board. Superb performances from him this season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you'd be on here quick with your "I know what's happening but can't tell anyone" posts... If you've got something to say just say it or keep quiet 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you've got something to say just say it or keep quiet On the contrary I am always interested in any comments flagrag posts. Obviously there are some things that can't be confirmed until after the AGM but others will be released earlier. I think you need to chill a bit as you seem to be easily irritated. Shame we no longer do the Annual Forum Awards or you'd be a cert for the Victor Meldrew one. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure why you find his "I know stuff but I'm not telling" posts interesting, but if you find them interesting you"like" away and feed his ego. I'll wait until somebody in the know says something that is actually interesting, I'd even find speculation interesting ie. JD returning to the Lions... But flagrag is saying nothing Edited October 23, 2018 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could make it better we can hope........ After all that's been done already, I suspect the short distance between the two straights, which can't be altered, will defeat further attempts to make any significant improvement. It may be better to just build a new track on the ground originally earmarked for football pitches, keep the pits where they are, turn the stands around. All that's needed is a few 100 grand and new planning permission. Easy peasy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
