What's wrong with you all? Even I can understand the joke. Oleoleole asked if anyone else wanted a kick while he's down and that was the reply. The only thing wrong is he's missed off the 'r' at the end of your son. Probably ruined the joke though by doing that. Never mind.

There's no incentive apart from being able to go straight to the entrance rather than queuing up to pay and certainly no designated seat. I was going to get a season ticket at Brandon this year purely because I would have struggled to get through the turnstile with dog, seat and bag since they stopped entrance at the 'pit gate.' No turnstile at Leicester though so no problem and I wouldn't ever consider buying a season ticket there.

Perhaps it's this? http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=83639 Well they would be the best wouldn't they? Both loaded and able to pay out the top rates which is all that matters to riders.

Oh yes and he loved being sacked by Mick when he took over. No axe to grind there.

Saddened that someone could tell a blatent lie about informing the riders if he didn't because in these days of social media it was obvious the riders could say otherwise and make it known within minutes/hours. Mind you if it was a lie he's not the only one who's been doing the same during this sorry saga. Hard to know who to believe.

Can you just explain to me why Mick is getting the blame for ending the club? He wasn't the one who sold the stadium to Brandon Estates and he wasn't the one who wrecked it so it couldn't be used. Just interested as I must be a bit thick.

She? Serves her right for calling herself 'dawn'.

He probably never intended to but he can't anyway if he doesn't have the owners permission. It's not his anymore......or is it?

I think the answer to that is nobody. Even the security dog Hank has given up.

I'm not surprised. Hope it's not too bad.

I think he was last year wasn't he and paid for the alterations? Looks like a good chunk to me. https://www.facebook.com/LeicesterLionsSpeedway/photos/pcb.1433618000013306/1433617703346669/?type=3&theater

No but this looks like one at the beginning of his post. Have to ask, but does anybody know of a team in any division that has been given this long to be in any League of any kind?

Johnnie Chamberlain at 4ft 9ins must surely be the smallest rider ever? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150147809132785&set=a.10150144289657785.323814.550797784&type=3&theater

Broken leg apparently. During the 1974-75 British Lions tour of Australia he was spotted in a North Qld vs Great Britain meeting by Lions team manager Wally Mawdsley and made his British League debut with the Exeter Falcons in 1975 alongside then four time World Champion Ivan Mauger. A broken wrist meant that he missed most of the 1976 season but he progressed on his return, reaching the Intercontinental Final in 1978.[2] He requested a transfer at the end of the season and in 1979 joined his friend John Titman at Leicester Lions. A hand injury limited his season and the following season only lasted until April, when he suffered a broken leg while riding in a Midland League match against Birmingham, complications from the injury ending his career.

They were on the verge of closing down before he took over though so who was the promoter then? Admittedly it didn't work out that season but Peterborough always seem to struggle to keep going from one year to the next. I'm just glad they seem more stable now as it's my favourite track and Sunday meeting are ideal for me to get over from Leicester. They allow dogs too which is always a bonus. Won't be worth the effort of him driving over from Peterborough then will it? Why would he bother.

It's my response. It's just another negative thread and we have enough miserable sods on the Coventry 2017 one as it is. . Might as well start another poll 'Will Belle Vue start the season?' Would anyone do that? Probably not because it's insensitive so why do one asking if Coventry will complete the season.

Hello Lord Skid. Any answer to back your statement up?

That's all we want ~ another negative Coventry thread. Why are you bothered anyway if you are a Poole supporter? I won't be voting because I haven't got a crystal ball where I can look into the future.

Well, I've seen him there often enough so how does he get in? Would you care to explain what happened when he was involved last time with Peterborough because from what I can understand they were on the verge of closing down before he took over? In hindsight Tuesday night racing was a big mistake and he must have lost loads of money keeping going to the end of the season.

Okay which riders didn't get paid at Coventry?

Take no notice of Speedibee as he gets grumpy about everything.

Of course no-one knows because the owners of the stadium/land want to build houses on it so presumably don't want the Speedway or Stock Cars back. In spite of all the negative comments by the same people on here I'm just glad I've been able to support the Bees since Sandhu took over in 2004 because it could all have ended then. As it is we have had 13 seasons with number 14 coming up and strangely enough I'm really looking forward to it whether it all ends in June, July, August or not.

I'm doing really well tonight ~ two posts I've written but then changed my mind about sending because there's no point in corresponding with miserable people who will always find something to moan about no matter what happens. Well done to the Coventry promotion under difficult circumstances and I hope a good number of fans are able to get to Leicester. I've been doing it the opposite way round for over 30 years so it will be nice for me to just drive a few miles up the road for a change.

You put it so much better than me. In other words nigh on impossible. I had planned to get one this season so as to avoid having to go through turnstiles with seat, bag and dog...plus the addition of a crutch I imagine now.....but that was at Brandon. I won't be getting one for Leicester as it's just straight through.

So far so good as the sun is out. Perfect weather.
