  1. Rubbish, Where does it state that? Maybe it suggests that the Club has a sound financial footing.
  2. Abi has stated before that Chirs Louis advised her to not ask riders about an interview and just go up to them. She was just following advice.
  3. What goes out on TV is the Directors decision. Maybe the way forward would be to find someone already working in sports broadcasting who has an understanding of the sport. Step forward Steve Brandon....
  4. When King was a Lion he made the same mistake on a regular basis is my memory serves me right.
  5. We have done, and checked the junk folder an we have not received an email this morning. Could you copy it over to john.harvey@leicesterspeedway.com please as I'm sure he will respond.
  6. We dont appear to have received anything yet at Leicester......
  7. Yes they did. They agreed the fixtures because WBD needed to know where in the country they needed OB units on specific dates.
  8. If my understanding is correct the issue is the number of normally UK based OB units out of the country and although Eurosport knew the dates, the issue was they wanted to know where they were expected to be on the dates they were given.
  9. You obviously didnt look onthe back straight. Based on what I have seen away and at the NDL home meeting I would say Leicester is the best supported NDL team away from home.
  10. If my understanding was correct three offers of bikes were made.
  11. Or someone who is regarded as a proper Journalist (rather than a snowflake content creator) has been called out for cutting corners and not getting quotes to support an opinion peice.
  12. 012.1.14 Foul, Unfair or Dangerous Riding The Referee shall immediately disqualify any rider who they consider indulges in foul, unfair or dangerous riding. If, in the opinion of the Referee, such conduct produces an advantage to the rider involved or affects the chances of one or more riders, the Referee may stop the heat and order a re-run. If any rider is unable to cross the finish line as a result of foul, unfair or dangerous riding on the part of another rider who, inconsequence, has been disqualified, the disadvantaged rider shall be deemed to have finished the heat in the placing held immediately before the foul, unfair or dangerous riding and allowing for any advancement in placing following the disqualification of the guilty rider. A similar system shall apply for a rider who, in the opinion of the Referee has deliberately laid down their machine or has left the track in the interests of safety. Speedway Control Bureau Regulations 119 In certain circumstances the Referee may disqualify a rider for foul, unfair or dangerous riding from the remainder of the meeting. In this case no replacement facilities are allowed for the remainder of a team meeting. A Referees decision to declare a heat completed, or disqualify a rider from a meeting for foul, unfair or dangerous riding shall be deemed a statement of fact and no protest or appeal is permitted.
  13. When I got home I looked at proboards thinking what a great meeting it was. I was left thinking whoever sent in the race reports may have been watching a different meeting to me.
  14. Because as stated by Max Fricke the riders wanted a slicker track, with grippier gates.
  15. Err, its the second news feature on the home page and has been for over 24 hours. If you looked you would have found it as you post is timed 12 hours after the meeting preview was uploaded. Previews on Speedway GB are uploaded on the morning of the meeting with the exception of some weekend meetings, but dont let facts stand in the way of a forum post.
  16. The issue is caused by some of the comments on there being classified as hate speech. The speedway groups and similar sports interest groups are easy targets for the Meta bots and statistically taking one of them down is the same as taking down a right wing group on the platform.
  17. Because the so called inferior product is actually developing talent rather than being a home for experienced riders that could not progreess into Championship 1-5's. Look at yeaterdays Under 19 semi final at Plymouth and the number of riders in that who have spent a season or more riding for the Lion Cubs.
  18. Obviously I have a unique prespective on this Iain. I can tell with my back to the tapes because of the change in the pressure wave hitting the back of my leg with the riders off 2 and 3 and I was aware on one occasion someone obviously had a nibble at the tapes as the pressure dropped as the revs fell. Appreciate the feedback.
  19. YR - it got it spot on last week. Rather than it may rain its forecasts the amount of rain and today at less tham 1mm it equates to Andy doing 4 laps less with water bowser. Those people that went by the BBC/Met Office forcast last week and stayed away missed the best meeting of the season so far.
