Norfolk Bear 250 Posted June 29, 2019 Hope we put up as good a show at Leicester as Leicester did at Redcar. I will be delighted if we can get around 40 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parkendlass 102 Posted June 29, 2019 A very big task for the Bears tonight. If we get somewhere near to getting a point, it will be a good performance against a very strong Lions team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One or two murmurings of discontent happening now. Pretty good crowd too. Edited June 29, 2019 by 40-38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted June 29, 2019 Thanks Josh Bates for prematurely bringing to an end my 71st year of supporting Speedway ~ Leicester ~ Coventry ~ then Leicester again. I haven't ridden a motorbike for a good number of years but even I knew there was no way you were going to get round the bend with that reckless move and taking down another rider too. Time I reckon to re think your career as you are a liability on a Speedway bike. I left after an hour of waiting for paramedics/county ambulance and a good number of others did as well. I very much doubt if some of them will be back, including me. Sad but that's it now. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fliss44 346 Posted June 29, 2019 Aww Gemini sad to hear this but I do know how difficult it is for you to attend these days. I very nearly went tonight but am still struggling to get my motivation going after Brandon closing .Speedway will miss you as you have been a very loyal servant x 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parkendlass 102 Posted June 29, 2019 Absolute b***** disgrace. Bears 6 points adrift, and worth a point all day long. But no, wait until the moment they go 8 adrift, then curfew the meeting, and declare a result. The fans are being shortchanged . They spend their money travelling, entry into meetings, then a 100 mile drive home, sick to their stomachs at having a well earned point snatched away. Why not curtail after the previous heat ? The Lions had won the meeting, they could get no more points, so job done. But no. Speedway is being killed when decisions such as these are made. I leave you sick, fed up, and thoroughly disillusioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Bears had got a 3-3 than they would have got a point. Understand the frustration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
