iainb 5,022 Posted August 26, 2023 I see Dicko and the rest of the team have gone missing again after the meeting with only Max Fricke coming out to make the draw. Had half an hour to fill as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aries 440 Posted August 26, 2023 Well this has put a spoke in the pigeon! Leicester have 4 left to Ipswich’ 1. I can’t see Leicester winning any of the three away fixtures at Belle Vue, Wolves or Peterborough. Lynn at home you’d think they pick up the three points. Ipswich last meeting away to Lynn where they’ve already won comfortably recently. Ipswich now slight favourites? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bent billy 26 Posted August 26, 2023 I think all the malicious comments about the bates family are totally unfair, as they are a straight family, everyone seems to forget the mess Leicester speedway was left in by the previous owners, they have turned the club around with their finances and made it into a viable club of which is was not before, The team has won trophies and maintained a good all round effort the last 7 years, non of this would not have happened without the Bates family commitment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 5,022 Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Left after Max James hit the air bags (hope he's OK) as I could see the rain coming in on the radar (even though the Leicester promotion seemingly couldn't, but don't get me started on that!) And I was absolutely astonished to find the gates locked as I wanted to leave... WHY? It certainly wasn't due to a capacity crowd (was pretty good though tbh, Saturday night speedway, who would have thunk it?)... but just what were the Leicester promotion hoping to gain from keeping people out of watching what was effectively a free match and maybe repeat business? I despair sometimes, i really do Edited August 26, 2023 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was a kid you'd be pushed into them for making a request like that! Update. The stinging nettles are no longer a risk to the departing public. Mr Dickson has advised that all nettles have been removed from the site. The nettles will then be extracted from the rectum of a certain Mr Cook after a visit to LRI Casualty and disposed of responsibly. There is doubt over who will be at BP on Monday. I’m waiting for the team line up. If Cook is riding, the management may be looking for a ‘Guest’ spectator in the seat my arse normally occupies. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
