Leicester Lion

It's a pity the sport lacks a campaigning magazine to lead the way and galvanise support.

Since when did the BSPA place the fans first? They have to run the fixture, because if they accepted the alternative, ie that Leicester has effectively folded, the Lions' results would need to be expunged from the records, placing Swindon fourth in the table instead of Lakeside.

And Simon Stead, sticking rigidly to the format and not daring to use his initiative, passed up the opportunity to ask Adams and actually keep the viewers informed.

I'd say it's exactly 51-39.

Coming on strong.

A quick question - does anyone know whether Les Collins and Ken McKinlay rode in the same heat in any official team match?

A quick question - does anyone know whether Les Collins and Ken McKinlay rode in the same heat in any official team match or individual event?

And even that has quietened down.

That's a tame version of what was said during the King's Lynn match.

What I meant was: while he is not allowed access to certain parts of the stadium, is he sidestepping other aspects of the suspension by describing himself as owner rather than promoter?

Is Hemsley suspended from promoter duties? Is describing him as owner rather than promoter just a semantic difference?

Presumably the SCB have refused to sanction any new promoter to prevent Mrs Hemsley being introduced as a puppet promoter. It would cause a problem if Darcy and/or Machin decided to walk, but I think the BSPA would ensure Leicester see out the season. This situation can't remain indefinitely. If he didn't pay the fine, would that make him unfit to be a promoter at some point, leading to his license being revoked?

Lindback showing no mercy there.

Klindt might pick up a couple of points then.

It's incredibly naïve to disregard something just because there's no reference to it on the internet, and equally naïve to believe it just because there is. There doesn't have to be a link to everything that's true, neither does the absence of a link mean something is untrue. There is life outside the internet; it would do us all good to get off the computer/phone/tablet for a while and enjoy it. (It's "your", not "you're" btw)

Not everything has to have a link. There is life outside the internet.

Seems harsh.

That sounds rather more serious than a disagreement over the Elite League/British Speedway's direction of travel.

Only if he takes the points from his opponents.

I wonder how much substance there was in that spin. If I had a pound for every time I heard the Ryan Fisher rumour I could buy a season ticket. The revolving door was always turning, but largely for the long line of journeymen looking for a team place. Leicester have never had to fight for a rider's services. I'd be interested to know which riders are Leicester assets.

Neither can the club to remember to include in their new signing publicity that he is only staying for a few weeks.

The Lions' season is usually over by around mid-May.

As were a lot of us at Leicester, but the voices of the in-crowd were saying what Mr Hemsley wanted to hear. The EL was only ever going to bring difficulties upon Leicester, which, added to the poor racing made it unworthwhile for some fans to continue.

That's shorter than a non-televised meeting at BP.
