At least a 5.00 ave ... I think many have far too high expectations of Kemp. Last year at Scunthorpe he averaged less than 5.5, while racing plenty of meetings from the easy number 7 position. So to expect him to get near that from a tougher position in a higher division (getting stronger) is a near impossible ask imo. I certainly hope he can do it, would be great news for GB.

SJA 40 Posted February 13 Interested to see that Pidcock Motorcycles have extended their Stadium Sponsorship for another two seasons.http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/news.php?extend.32437 One advantage Leicester have over many clubs is an exclusive lease on the stadium which provides them with a naming rights opportunity. All the same its great to see they have secured the deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJA 40 Posted March 7 Congratulations on Leicester on appointing a new female Co Promoter. I understand that she has basically been running the club for a number of years behind the scenes. We need more women represented at the top of the sport. I can only think of Debbie Hancock in the past and Julie Reading at Sheffield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PowerfulPierre 88 Posted March 11 (edited) So, with 4 days to go it seems to me that these are good times to be a Lions supporter. We have a new owner who has ploughed thousands into trying to remedy the track drainage problems, and whilst going about it, has installed a new training track to bring on the newcomers to the sport, and hopefully sustain speedway well into the future. We have a newly designed website that looks modern and has given the club a fresh new image; we have a new co promoter who has worked tirelessly throughout the winter to "get things done." Questions from the supporters to the management have been invited in preparation for press and practice day which suggests to me a new more open approach towards those of us that part with our hard earned week in week out. All it needs now is for us as supporters to get fully behind the new owner and co promoter and do our job in supporting the Lions for the new campaign. C'mon you Lions!!!

I got sent a photo of the track a few weeks ago and it was a right mess, I'm sure it's been sorted now ! I'm hopeful we can see some racing on Thursday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the weather, it's been evil again! Non stop rain yesterday but the hardy band of volunteers were up there doing whatever they could to get the "show on the road".

If Wet on Wednesday for P&P it’s likely no on track action to save it for the next day. The Circus and Stunt show is on next to the stadium but have no shows on Thursday’s but do have two shows on Wednesday which may mean the car park is busier for P&P Edited March 11 by flagrag 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
