If I was in charge the track would of been ripped up after the first year. What would plant in its place Cabbages,carrots and potatoes I think they would thrive as according to some there's plenty of manure about the place. Maybe there could be a farm shop next to the burger van for those who prefer the healthier option

The man is an absolute legend and always will be. Takes me back to Blackbird Road in the mid 70s when Belle Vue came to town. I've even got his autograph on my old clip board. Well done Peter do you still have the Kevin Keegan perm?

You will be more than welcome at BP We are not all miserable buggers over in the east midlands.Just some and they are experts in everything speedway. Most lions fans are looking forward to the EL this season especially the local derbies

Thanks Big Al and Gemini. I'm new to this posting lark and thought it was quiet on the Leicester thread and not realising it had its own. Must be the sun stroke I endured yesterday. Having looked on it same old same old then. Pleased to hear that most peopled enjoyed there day considering we've got a 'crap track and 'crap promotion'

How was the meeting yesterday? Glorious day to watch speedway,I arrived at the stadium at 1.40 after parking,it was really busy which was great in support of the Ben Fund but the queue for admission was horrendous only the two little windows open to take money which is ridiculous.Apparently the start time was put back to let everyone in but had a prior engagement at 4.30 so went home. By the look of the scoring Cooky and Morris had good days. How was the racing?

Thanks Gemini I think it's essential to have a sense of humour on this forum as sometimes there is too much negativity and back biting As for the legend that is Colin Cook I didn't realise he was such a heartthrob maybe it was the 'beard'but more than likely his riding of the boards.A top entertainer round Blackbird Road. Keep smiling

John it is then.I like it I think John will be great for the lions now that the visa issue is sorted,riding under another name is fine apparently,Craig Cook is really the old lions legend Colin Cook minus the beard.

Any word yet of this mystery rider John Doyle,after trawling the tinternet I can find him anywhere

Good man, do like the Homer Simpson quote!!

Mr Lincoln city we are not all bad over on the leicester thread,some of the posters have very mixed views and like stirring s..t but most are keen speedway fans. Simon Stead is our last rider named today which I reckon is a great signing and a Brit. However I'm not to sure who this John Doyle is you speak about and what would be his average.

Is Colonel related to Rainman

Rainman

Ditto mrcts,he's a quality young rider and his visits to BP have been superb. If the lions managed to get his signature the side would be very exciting. Fingers and toes crossed!

I think if Nick Morris was Leicester bound every lions fan would be very happy. He is always impressive around Beaumont Park and would go well with Doyley Merry Xmas

Aren't you forgetting Richard the turd!

After the news that the lions have signed Jason Doyle,I'm off to the opticians to collect my new 2014 rose tinteds. Ba humbug!!

I don't think Craig Cook was ever gonna sign for the lions.We should admire his loyalty to Edinburgh and The aces.Good luck to him,he is a top rider and entertainer

A real sad day for all speedway fans, a great track and great supporters.

I agree I'm just surprised we will be racing on a Saturday lets hope there's no GP when Tai and Darcy are due to visit

Elite it is and Saturday night racing.

I heard a rumour that Magnus has ridden too 2nd place in the PLRC. Well done Magnus don't think we expected him on the rostrum. Let's hope he's back in lions colours in 2014
