Crowds are slightly down and I've found the racing less exciting but we are winning on the track which is giving lions fans a buzz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People awaiting trial for murder don’t get bail, they’re kept in custody until their trial. It stops them reoffending if they are guilty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted July 30, 2023 I think it was Damien Bates who said, not too long ago, that Leicester more or less runs itself and that employing Stewart Dickson had been the key to that. He may have also mentioned the invaluable and voluntary time contributions by certain others. I've no idea how much day to day, direct involvement that Marc Bates may have taken on since then albeit that his name appears as Co-promoter alongside those of David Darcy and Dickson. When he puts "health" as the main reason for the decision by the Bateses for seeking a buyer for Leicester, I wonder whose health he's referring to. Is it his own, or that of others?

I presume with the Leicester sale, the Cubs would be included within any deal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if that makes a profit... currently there are no Cubs in the senior team, I assume they're getting loan fees for some of the asseted riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
