I imagine the small matter of the Sunday League side that has just won the football PL has had an impact.

For the remainder of the season in the NL.

The only problem with crowds is every meeting so far has come with a side order of poor weather forecast. as soon as the weather picks up so will the crowd

I'd rather that was a job for the winter than end up with a BV situation mid season thank you. I thought the track was a bit heavy last night and if you got behind you got filled in. Hence the lack of racing. It certainly caught Auty out who a lot of the time relies on passing

That clown was me and unless you were there don't comment.

Thanks for the update

Wasn't he announced as Birminghams no. 8. ??!http://www.birminghambrummies.co/news.php?extend.2227

They mentioned it last night on Sky if you were watching. When have League meeting tickets ever gone on pre sale unless it was a groupon offer ??

We're not all as old as you !!!!

Is this still going on? Blimey, thought it would be chip paper by now.

Isn't it time we put the word 'fun' back into the sport. I keep hearing about all these 'golden' days. Leicester rarely won anything, I believe, at Blackbird Road but the fans seem to remember it with such fond memories

Best of Luck to the Lions for 2016 http://leicesterlions.co/lions-v-tigers-match-preview/ Lions v Tigers Match Preview The speedway season opens on Saturday with the visit of the Sheffield Tigers to the Beaumont Park Stadium to race against the Paul Chapman & Sons Lions in an Inter-League Challenge fixture which gets underway at 1.00 pm. The team will be led out by new captain Nicolai Klindt and he forms an opening partnership with fellow countryman Patrick Hougaard. Grzegorz Walasek and Szymon Wozniak line-up in the same positions in the side as last season and newcomer Sebastian Ulamek takes over the number five berth. With Josh Auty returning that makes five riders who have worn the red and yellow colours before. Josh is partnered by new signing Paul Starke who was an integral part of Pooles Elite League Championship winning side last year. Sheffield, who reached the play-offs last season have once again assembled a strong team and with three former Leicester riders in their side there will be plenty of interest for fans. The Tigers though will be missing their captain and top scorer Simon Stead who was injured whilst competing in a meeting at Kings Lynn last Saturday. In his place the visitors have named Josh Grajczonek as a guest replacement. Re-shaping of the third and fourth bends of the circuit to create more overtaking opportunities on this area of the track has recently been completed. Both Nicolai Klindt and Szymon Wozniak have already practised at Leicester and alterations have reduced the measurement from 317 metres to 302 per lap which means a new track record will be established in the opening heat on Saturday. Teams Leicester: 1. Patrick Hougaard, 2. Nicolai Klindt, 3. Grzegorz Walasek, 4. Szymon Wozniak, 5. Sebastian Ulamek, 6. Josh Auty and 7. Paul Starke Sheffield: 1. Josh Grajczonek, 2. Dimitri Berge, 3. Kyle Howarth, 4. Josh Bates, 5. Jason Garrity, 6. Richard Hall and 7. Nathan Greaves

You can't get into a NL meeting for that !!!

Think you may have the wrong thread. Glynn is talking about Leicester

Lol !!!!!

Is there anyone there that you actually like ?????

It didn't seem to take the Eagles lads long to gain home track advantage......

Sorry must have missed that.

Sarah is Backroom staff at the Lions and Rob is the Team Manager for the Leicester Riders (Basket ball I think) :-)

More good news......... We are on a roll !!

On a positive note DH gave a great interview on Radio Leicester tonight. Good to hear him talking so positively.

Oh my. Glad she is on the road to recovery.

Are you new to Leicester threads !!! Maybe we should do a quick overview of Leicester threads for anyone new or visiting for the 1st time

You're probably right

Don't mention 'bringing up' I might just do that very thing !!!
