Think the crowds will big hit and miss. Fans are split on moving up Last time the Lions moved up it was pure vanity and we simply made up the numbers, signing a few riders on short term deals who were not committed. With the current owner/management set up I think we will see a different mindset and a superior product served up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking there going to build a strong home team and aim for the play offs is a minimum requirement 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we're a loyal bunch. Had around 600/700 hundred on wet Tuesday night and against Scunthorpe last year. Which was already a foregone conclusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he will stay at Sheffield? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think both clubs want him as his average possibly maybe 3.66 which is low. I wouldn't be gutted if he doesn't stay at Leicester. Id love Nikolai Busk Jacobsen at Leicester. 4.37 and always has huge scores around Beaumont park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would just about pay for Championship Team these days,some sponsers must have deep pockets.Did they not change their race night to weekend because fans weren’t liking mid week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted November 21, 2022 Could be Leicester's last season. Seen too many clubs succumb to the lure of the "Premier" league and fail after having to change race night. Leicester should have taken advice from their arch enemies down on the south coast who remain operating successfully on the night that their paying spectators want to see speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrow Boy 2 172 Posted November 22, 2022 Just read about all the improvements that are to be made. New track lighting being one of them. Been banging on about this for ever it seems. Swindon's track equipment has also been purchased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
