Leicester lions 2023 (PREMIERSHIP)
LionsFan replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If you're referring to Mr Hemsley, isn't he already the owner? David Darcy said a few weeks ago on the centre green that it's the promotors licence that is up for sale, not the ownership of the club. -

Didn't we win a cup that year as well? -

I think Dave Darcey said on one of his centre green interviews that it's the promoters licence that is up for sale, not the club. -

I heard a couple of weeks ago that there were approx seven interested parties including someone already associated with the club. Don't know anymore than that. -

Yes, he got a 30 day ban, but we don't know the facts regarding what happened when he was asked to take the test and if ,for example, procedures were followed correctly. I think Stewart Dickson said he had employed a solicitor for the hearing, so Morris may think there are reasons to challenge it. -

It's all rumour and speculation at the moment, I don't know if any posters on this forum are aware of the facts. -

In my view he should be allowed to put his side of the story before people rush to judgement. -

I know the hearing is not a court of law but Morris (or his solicitor) is entitled to put his side of the story before any decision is made. -

Can't see it being a change of ownership, especially with the money spent on the stadium over the winter. I have noticed the former promoter in attendance on race nights so could he be looking to come back in some capacity? -

Dan will benefit if he can get fixed up with a championship team. -

Three home matches and yet to see the away team turn up with their declared 1 - 7. -

I think Morris could do a good job as captain. He seems very professional in his approach and expects others to be the same. Perhaps he can be a bit moany, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing - I remember him having a go at one or two team members in an after-match interview in the 2021 season when he claimed they turned up with poorly maintained equipment. Still, we don't know the full team yet so there may be other candidates. -

He could well be staying at Lynn, but I'm just adding to the rumours. I was surprised his average was lower than Richie's. -

I know the rumour is that Richie Worrall is coming back but it looks like Josh Pickering has a lower average even with the 2.5% reduction and probably has more potential for improvement. -

Last time they were in the top league they were under different management/ownership and had a weak team. If the rumoured team is correct, I can see them being competitive with a fair chance of the play offs. The club seems to be on a more secure financial footing than it was last time: the fact they are spending money on the track and stadium this winter shows that. I also think running on a Thursday rather than a Monday (as last time) will lead to better crowds.
