Big Al 709 Posted June 12, 2014 Unfortunately you will now need guests on 21/06 v Swindon Plus one for Hougaard, maybe. I read DH bleating in the paper yesterday about the guests' performances on Saturday, and getting more "hungry" ones next time. Hungry!! They'll need to be frigging starving to want to show up and ride for him. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester Lion 274 Posted June 12, 2014 Poor judgment on Leicester's part to opt for PK at the ultimate gater's paradise. And to then slag him off in the press for his efforts is a disgrace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish McRaker 601 Posted June 12, 2014 All of this negative talk of Leicester's Great Leader reminds me of a promoter of yesteryear, who shall remain nameless. He, too, created an awful shaped track where racing was over after the second bend of lap 1. Legend has it that he used to roll off his wife after about 7 seconds, to which she would always lie "oh, that was wonderful, darling". Being the recipient of repeated praise for such a brief performance, he naturally concluded that speedway supporters' enjoyment needs were also easily met. I wonder if there is a current-day promoter with a similar approach? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted June 12, 2014 I see sky have bitten the bullet and decided to take the cameras to Leicester V Eastbourne on the 14th July. Not too sure what Kelv and Nige will think of it, one thing for sure, I'll be watching it later with the remote ready at 1st lap 2nd bend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too sure what Kelv and Nige will think of it, one thing for sure, I'll be watching it later with the remote ready at 1st lap 2nd bend. I think they may have picked that meeting because bjarne pedersen's excellent gating skills, coupled with his almost unique lines around the bp bends, means he looks to me to be one of the only decent EL riders who look likely to be passed at bp! That's not to say anyone has ever passed him though! That would need clarifying.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More interesting than the 'racing' that's for sure. "Woah! Did you see that Nige? That tractor just passed that other tractor".......... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 709 Posted June 13, 2014 I bet cost a lot of money to persuade him to ride though. Looked as though PK wasn't confirmed until early afternoon before the match and there had been no advance naming of a guest for JD. So it could be that PK was playing hardball over money, knowing Leicester were in a tight spot, and held out for his own terms (maybe taking some advice from his brother!). Which he'd be perfectly entitled to do. DH spitting out his dummy in the press was possibly as much to do with PK's points score as feeling like he was done over financially! And when he says in future he'll get "hungrier" guests, he probably really means "cheaper". So I wonder who we'll see on Saturday 21st, then ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
