iainb 5,017 Posted March 13 Popped in to watch a bit of practice... first thing I'm greeted with under the new regime is Lake Leicester covering the whole of the entrance to the stadium like a moat! Would it have really hurt for somebody to have brushed it all away? There was a big top circus camped next door and some of their punters may have been tempted to have a look at what all of the noise was about... but they'd have to have pole vaulted over it... I really do despair sometimes, same old speedway, smh. Perhaps that was @davieb1 's job Other than that, good to see, hear and smell the bikes again. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The water was brushed away a number of time throughout the day. The enterence to the stadium is lower than the land around it so once brushed or even pumped away water leaches out of the soil and returns to the lowest point.

Not at 6:30 when the gates were opened to the public though. I'm afraid when you open things to the public these are the little things that need thinking about and addressing Edited March 14 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I came across Neil Machin once just outside the gate, working hard with a sweeping brush to clear a giant puddle. But the water just ran back again. Probably needs some drainage work to resolve properly, which would be down to the landlord Mr Hemsley to carry out! However, during his days as promoter, DH would probably have commandeered several stewards (and maybe a couple of riders!) to get out there with brooms!

All you are is a jumped up commercial manager who clearly thinks he represents the club on every aspect now . Steward staffing has nothing to do you. Maybe let the club clarify their position if it needs to be clarified publicly. People’s private messages should stay private not released into the public. I believe you have crossed the line .

Would Stewart Dickson be called "male promoter"? Dodgy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
