robert72 845 Posted November 24, 2016 So then... 2 weeks since Glyn said it had only been a week since the agm and there were t's to be crossed and i's to be dotted 3 weeks since agm 4 weeks since Dave Darcy assurances of going to tapes in elite league giving the impression that plans were in place and new owners/promotion was basically being finalised... probably providing foundation to Glyn's comments Presumably 5,6,7 + weeks with a potential deal to be negotiated and ironed out but still norra peep. Unless the terms and contracts involve leiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicestttttttttttttttttttttter liiiiiiiiiiiiions holdiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings liiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttted, I can see a) no agreement and lions not running or we are left to select from a very minor cast of riders with a combined average a lot less than 50 and like captains picking the team in p.e at school and having to choose between the two kids at the back who hate sport and shivering in sub zero temperatures wearing plimmies and vests and just want to be somewhere else. The pen ran out of ink to cross the T and dot the I so they are awaiting delivery of a new pen but with the build up to Christmas it's delaying the delivery of the pen needed so fans will need to wait a little longer.

1 valve 558 Posted November 24, 2016 After last nights comitee meeting where Mrs H's "boy friend" messaged and said he wanted to be chairman and miraculously had someone to nominate him and second it, it looks like a bad smell is eminating from Leicester. Oh and the fact that three comitee members have resigned in the last 24hrs tells you all you need to know A meeting of what committee? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 705 Posted November 24, 2016 The bits quoted above about committees and resignations is all to do with Leicester Speedway supporters club and has nothing to do with the operation of the club. Mr A Joyce wanted to be chairman and he had backing to do so, some members didn't agree with this so resigned from their positions 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted November 24, 2016 Whilst trying not to appear negative, delays on a takeover announcement seem to be based on the AGM date, but interested parties will surely have been involved long before this. From the outside, the longer the wait for the announcement of the new management set up, the weaker the team will be due to rider availability/willingness to sign up for the forthcoming season. Sounds pessimistic but I have been a Lions fan (since 1974) through thin and thinner and still remain to be convinced that we will be competing in the (watered down) top flight of the sport next season. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lions fan since 77, through thin, thinner and now waffer bleedin thin. If by chance we do have a team running next year, it already looks like being a side composed of riders nobody else wants. Meaning probably even lower attendances and more grief for all concerned. It's not looking too great. Having said that like a fool I'll still be there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
