Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 11, 2021 Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couple of me mates are Lions fans so there's quite a lot of banter that goes around between us. May the best team win yes may the best team win as long as its the Pirates!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid. Agree Steve. Any fans travelling up from Poole or elsewhere could possibly set off on the Friday and take in that meeting as well, then go on to the SON if they are going there as well. Just book extra accommodation for the Friday. Financial do da running on Saturday! I'll be at Poole on Wednesday, finally I'm getting there! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Edited October 11, 2021 by PirateShip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Financial do da like Leicester running the quarter final tomorrow.......do they honestly think many will bother after Saturday, altho it wasn't Leicester's fault. Scunthorpe had no Adam Ellis and 3 guests as well, glad I never bothered going to that! I'll be at Poole on Wednesday, finally I'm getting there! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh In fact that's how out of touch they are... instead of riding on Friday and attracting an even bigger crowd for folk travelling up to Manchester they decide to run against the Football & Speedway... If it wasn't so unbelievable, it'd be quite unbelievable! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,270 Posted October 11, 2021 Didn't the Eastbourne promoter say he was genuinely surprised that fans would rather stay in to watch world class riders on TV rather than attend a speedway meeting live on a Saturday night.....? Watching a truly World Class level meeting on TV with real kudos and recognition to the winners,? Or attending a heavily contrived domestic competition with hardly any kudos or recognition to be gained by any victory? Hmmmmm... Decisions, decisions,....
