Leicester 2014 . Elite

[1 valve 558]

I think most recognise the Saturday race night will present problems for the promotion on a number of fronts. But just before we all leap to blame the promotion for bad planning or whatever other blame can be laid at their door, does anyone know if the Saturday race night was something vounteered by the promotion or if the pwers that be made it somewhat conditional on Leicester being accepted into the Elite league?

[Gemini 4,894]

I wouldn't have thought Leicester would want to change their race night as weekend racing is always better attended, not only by the locals but neutral supporters as well. But saying that I doubt if they would be able to use Friday's if they did want to change to that night bearing in mind Coventry is only 20 miles away and quite a few fans go to both tracks so I'd guess Friday's would be out.

[Hamish McRaker 601]

From my crow's nest in the outer isles, I see many recent posts about Leicester already carry concern over the brave new world of elite league membership.

Let us hope they are false concerns, and that in a short time young David slays them all and emerges triumphant.

However, if the struggle is proving beyond his powers, including the difficult task of building an elite league team for Saturdays, would it be a more noble and sensible thing to return Leicester to the Premier League, before it is too late?

If that would be too much of an admission of failure for him, then David could realise his ambition by stepping in to promote in the elite league at Peterborough, where I gather there is a current promotorial vacancy. There, he could employ his friend Mr Kasprzak (and indeed other Polish riders) without undue hindrance from the Polish authorities by continuing to operate on Fridays. A new (but experienced) promoter could then step in to operate Leicester, perhaps on a license arrangement?

Or is it all too late.

Or are all of the concerns of no value?

During my conversations with the Leicester promotion earlier this year it was mentioned that Saturday night was speedway night and should it remain that way. I am quite sure that the management has will have a solution to any potential problems this may create.

All this saturday night stuff is irrelivent because GP weekends Leicester will run on a monday.

 

When there is no GP , Euro or F.I.M meetings on the continent we will run saturdays

Kasprzak has been sacked by his last 3 EL clubs, apart from Poole. If you get 4 good meeting out of him in a season you will be lucky.

Ask a few Lakeside, Birmingham and Coventry supporters, there opinon of KK before you all start raving about the great signing if you sign him, beware he isnt the great rider he is made out to be.

[lionking 127]

Thats doesn't matter to lions fans because according to reports KK can't ride at Leicester because his polish club won't allow him to ride on the saturdays when there is no euro's or GP

Wont that be about only half a dozen available Saturdays during the year and thats without giving Eastbourne priority.

My calculations made it around 1/2 home matches will be monday nights
