David Darcy said a few weeks ago on the centre green that it's the promotors licence that is up for sale, not the ownership of the club. That's correct my mistake. I stand with Mr Hemleys most weeks and I think even he gets confused with it all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Darcy said a few weeks ago on the centre green that it's the promotors licence that is up for sale, not the ownership of the club. The company currently owning the club & the licence to promote speedway at the circuit is for sale. The circuit is owned by a company owned by DH. By purchasing the promotional rights from the current owners (Bates) the the new owners will take on the current lease of the circuit or may negotiate a new one if both parties agree it would be appropriate to do so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to be to throw money away at speedway after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is his older brother any good on the shale as well? Rising Stars - Ashton and Kiean Boughen - Dirt Hub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris116 756 Posted September 20, 2023 How do you make a small fortune from speedway? Start with a massive fortune! Also applies to owning a football club and a steam locomotive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted October 9, 2023 According to the SGB website, Dickson will team manage at both Leicester and Berwick next year, which would suggest the clubs will be in the Premiership and Championship respectively. Stewart took a lot of stick for the Lions falling off a cliff this season, but I still believe he is the right man for the club and obviously has the backing of the new owner/s (whoever that is). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
