W9 Lion

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.

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.

How? wHY?

Based on feedback, yes very.

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.

Depends where you look. YR forecast 0.4mm of rain this morning and 0.5mm of rain this afternoon and a dry evening. If this is the case you are still likely to see Andy and the water bowser this evening.

According to met check 0.5mm of rain over two hours. So that saves the club 4 laps of diesel as Andy put more than that down over four laps with the bowser.

He looked totally uninterested in the meeting at Leicester.

Always has started seasons like this.

1. Always open for a guest booking - Start Marshals should receive training from the CofC and as a licenced official will have a copy of the rule book. 2. Leicester also provide the Cubs with a grippy track and I am always fearful at the start of Heat 2 the first time the away reserves drop the clutch.

Poor old Brookie was about to pull into the car park when i called him to say it was off. Mind you he made it home for 9ish....

One minute warning was removed from the rule book for this season.

Track is hard, and its a dry day

No they go off 15m

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.

16 hours ago when you posted "If you knew what I know about our female boss you wouldn't like her much"

No, its a public response to clarify the clubs position.

No.

Dave I was sorry to hear about your condition that means you "are not sure how long I can stand for when needed, maybe 5 mins or 30 mins" as per your message to the General Manager on 7th March 2024. Being able to stand for a long time is a key atribute of a safety steward. As you put it later in the same message "I'm giving you a get out quick clause I won't complain if I don't get a job". Could we please hold you to your latter statement?

Here you go Rob. This is how the track looked at 3pm on Saturday afternoon when i left.

As an alternative you could always stream the meetings on Lions TV

May I helpfully suggest Leicester is closer and all Panthers fans would be made most welcome.

Your original post was that we had heard nothing which as they previous couple of posts have pointed out is not the case.

Err, announcements have been made, http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/news.php?extend.32433 LEICESTER will switch to Sunday afternoon racing for their home fixtures in the National Development League this season. Fixtures for the third tier are currently in the process of being finalised, but the club can confirm the Lion Cubs have scheduled matches at the Pidcock Motorcycles Arena, Beaumont Park for Sundays at 3pm. The move has been made in order to provide maximum rider availability both for the Cubs and their opponents bearing in mind Championship commitments. Skipper Joe Thompson has a Championship team place with Plymouth, who will be racing at home predominantly on Saturday evenings, and Max James is racing for Edinburgh who have various Saturday away matches. Another key reason for the switch is that it opens up greater opportunities to make use of the new mini-track for second half events featuring 250cc and 125cc riders, which would otherwise be constrained by time on a Saturday evening. Leicester’s first home NDL fixture of the season is expected to take place at the Pidcock Motorcycles Arena, Beaumont Park on Sunday April 7 (3pm). The club will also be staging a round of the new National League Riders Development Series individual competition. This will take place on Sunday August 4 (3pm).
