LionsDen 124 Posted December 5, 2013 I really hope that is true about Havelock. Please let it be true as he is not very popular at Coventry, especially after his Poole comments on Twitter. And his Twitter spat with new signing Hans Andersen during this year's World Cup. Still blames him for Team GB missing out in 2004 so I can't imagine a happy pits at Brandon if he stays. Mind you, imagine, Havvy and DH working together.... What a Dream Team!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Al 710 Posted December 5, 2013 Rumours i'm hearing are that Gary Havelock maybe arriving as team manager and Yulia and her mate Sarah Braganza are currently in charge of putting the team together!. Might explain our stange reserve picks (no desrespect mean't to Perry and Clegg though i fear i'm about to join Lionking in the stocks for just pointing out the obvious!) and Yulia's bizarre statement about why we haven't signed anyone. If we end up with Havelock it would be a final confirmation of what everyone must already know about Leicester Speedway. Clueless doesn't even begin to explain it. You have just GOT to be joking about all of that!!! Ha Ha, very funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,822 Posted December 5, 2013 speedway team managers are a luxury for the wealthy teams , I personally can't see what they do Motivation? Although not seemingly in Havelock's case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weatherwatcher 664 Posted December 5, 2013 I just hope that all this dithering around chosing the team for 2014 is well worth the wait. Good luck to the 2 reserves, hope the other guys in the team give them all the help that they will need. Just maybe, we will see some prgress in all these youngsters that will be riding in the New Elite Leage. I just hope that the fans get behind them and help them to settle in to thier new homes and not slag them off, from race one. These lads are the future of British Speedway. With a bit of help from other setting up thier nachines and leaning more about racing lines from them it may turn out to be a good season, or then again if they are just put there whith no help then it may just be a big belly flop. I hope it is the first case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 710 Posted December 5, 2013 been out and got a couple of 500 kwackers just in case.. maybe see you in 2014. lol. Jenga, whoever you support, you come on here taking the p*** out of Leicester, well it's just not needed you know. WE are perfectly capable of doing that ourselves, so go and wind up someone else, like Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) And his Twitter spat with new signing Hans Andersen during this year's World Cup. Still blames him for Team GB missing out in 2004 so I can't imagine a happy pits at Brandon if he stays. Mind you, imagine, Havvy and DH working together.... What a Dream Team!!! Perhaps Mick signed Andersen hoping Gary would hand his notice in. Well, I can wish can't I? I don't really know what the situation with Havelock is and whether he signed a contract for more than one season but it does seem strange why Mick would keep him when a) he is not at all popular with the fans and b ) the team he managed came bottom of the league. If it was football he would have been out long ago. Edited December 5, 2013 by Gemini Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weatherwatcher 664 Posted December 5, 2013 Me thinks Jenga is not a very nice speedway suporter. Which ever team he supports they are very welcome to him. And yes we will make ourselves very much at home in the EL. If we end up the bottom of the leauge which I don't think we will at least the Lions will do thier best and give it a damn good try. Don't piddle about with Lions supports, they can get very nasty and have sharp claws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wandersome 281 Posted December 5, 2013 Got my season ticket renewal e-mail today. Even though i was told different by the man himself there is nary a mention of an acknowledgement for the piss poor value of last years season ticket, just mention of how it will be us, the season ticket holders and sponsors that will allow the club to secure an Elite league team for the coming season. Unfortunately it won't be any my money helping to do it. So how many season ticket holders on here are renewing? I'm clearly not, but will i be in a minority?. I know of at least one other season ticket holder who is holding off this year though that is rather because, like me, he doesn't rate the chances of us having the business plan or finances to make the season out.

Mick. Got my renewal e-mail today too. Certainly not renewing before i've seen the team declared. I'm not impressed with the picks they made at reserve for a start, couldn't believe they went for Clegg when they had a choice from 12 other riders, hope i'm proved wrong but i'd have thought someone like Simon Lambert would have been a better bet, at least he might have scored 3 or 4 points & has more experience, To throw a 16 year old just out of the MDL into the pressures of the elite seems crazy & totally unfair on the lad. With no early-bird discount on the season ticket either i'll wait until the fixtures are announced before buying because it looks like fixtures could be on different days, already 3 league fixtures announced & all on different days ( sat., mon.& thurs) so keeping my options open before deciding to buy season ticket or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim the whipper 231 Posted December 6, 2013 Motivation? Although not seemingly in Havelock's case. I would say Motivation is the job of the team captain , Leicester though it is neither the team manager or the team captain it's the promoters wife who lets the riders know who pays their wages, with the odd input from him indoors to tell them how he could beat most of them on his bicycle . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
