Mr Blobby 2,691 Posted November 17, 2015 Can just see Leicester being left with Zengota, Watt, Summers, Batch and Wozniak! Think Masters will be in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B.V 72 1,054 Posted November 17, 2015 With their good reserves i think that could end up being a better team than a top heavy Swindon side.Doyle on his own did not do Leicester much good last year did he. Zengota, Watt and Summers will lose almost 5 points between them next season. So Swindon would have to start 5 points under the limit. The reason the team with Doyle failed wasn't because of Doyle but because the other 6 (well, 3 of them - at any given time) were beyond crap. Soz not very well worded.I mean't to say Leicester with Zengot,Batchelor,Watt and Wozniak plus there two stronger reserves could end up being a better side than Swindon.It all depends on who they sign to ride with Doyle and as Leicester know very well a good number 1 is no good at all if the rest of the team lets him down. To add imo that team in a weaker league looks a more balanced Leicesrer team than the one they had this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish McRaker 604 Posted November 17, 2015 Watt is pants at Beaumont Park and he openly admits he doesn't like riding there. Nor does the majority of riders......which means if a rider learns it well enough, he can acquire one big home advantage. Just needs some persistence and the right attitude.

weatherwatcher 664 Posted November 17, 2015 Big loss to the Lions losing Jason, but it may not be the end of the world. He was never in his 2 years at BP backed up with the rest of the team he was just a lone rider, don't get me wrong I hate to see him go, we all saw a great talent only get better in those 2 seasons. In one way it may be what the management needed to get a half decent team together, instead of just one rider. Lets face it I think they have had enough time and know all along that he would not be coming back next season. So they should have had the irons already in the fire looking for someone to replace him with. If not then it just shows how sloppy the management are.

mrcts 252 Posted November 17, 2015 From the Lions website. "We have had three break-ins during the past three weeks with the most recent one being last night. Could all supporters please keep a watch if they are anywhere near the stadium and report anything unusual to us or the Police immediately. There have been lights smashed, electrics vandalised, doors kicked in and damage to our tractor." Local scumbags on the loose again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,173 Posted November 17, 2015 I cannot believe anyone could call Leicester a poor stadium. It's outstanding for what has been achieved in a short time. It is indeed a lovely stadium and will obviously develop more the longer It runs but the track and lack of racing completely ruin it, but then Hemsley knows best doesn't he. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 706 Posted November 17, 2015 Leicester are in big trouble now that they have lost Doyle who along with a number of other riders have said No Thank you to Saturday night racing the club has real problems now as can't see where the No1 and 2 riders are coming from to make the team at least competitive. What I cannot understand is Jason said he would stay if they changed the race night yet Hemsley would not back down yet in 2017 has already been told he can't run on Saturdays as away clubs struggle to get their riders to do the meetings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think young Mr Hemsley's best chance is to do a rapid u-turn back to the PL while theres still half a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Al 710 Posted November 17, 2015 Listened from just after 6.15 for 20 odd minutes. No interview, no comment and no indication that anything was coming up. Speedway not mentioned once Basically saying Doyle has betrayed him and that there was an" agreement" with Jason that he would do four years with Leicester after sorting out his visa issues. Generally having a go at disloyalty of riders (promoters are never disloyal to riders are they!!). I got the feeling he is not prepared to consider (and never has done) moving the race night to thursday. Mumbled about having to find riders but big problem with them not wanting to race in UK on Saturdays (no s**t, Einstein) so just sounded gloomy. Overall, it came across as "they've all got it in for me" and delusion that everything ought to revolve around Leicester speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
