You are right. I meant to say not much has been been mentioned of his people skills

In my experience as Team Leader and Teacher. There is a difference between leading a team and ruling a team. I do hope Glyn's approach is the former. as there has been much mention of his peope management skills.

I don't deny he has all these skills and will be an assett to the Lions but how come other clubs weren't clambering for the skills you mention and not in great demand to the highest bidder. Ummmmm it is a poser

Heathens just seem to like their pantomime villains, they seem to adopt one each year. Obviously this year it's Kerr and in true Garrity style i'd just play them at their own game.

From the Lions website; The new Lions boss will have Eric Boocock supporting him in an advisory role. The former British Champion is one of speedway’s most successful England team managers of his generation. “It is a real pleasure to have someone of Eric’s stature available to offer advice when needed. He is an inspiration and a very well respected person in speedway and we are all looking forward to working with him” commented the Lions co-promoter. It does say 'advisory' capacity maybe we all took it as read he would be joining full time. Could do with clarifying though.

And many of us are gutted for him. I don't think it will be the same somehow but I can't speak of what I don't know. Just wish it hadn't happened really.

I find it interesting that not many people are refering to Glynn as the Manager but Eric Boocock. I don't know a lot about him apart from the fact he left Sheffield and so did Auty. I wish them both well. Had this have been an isolated incident then I'm sure there wouldn't have been the backlash there has but it does come after a catalogue of comings and goings and naturally people are going to ask when do we get some stability so they can enjoy the team and not the off track antics. The supporters should have been going into the Edinburgh fixture full of confidence and positivity but this does seem to have put pay to that. There is a suggestion that to get Eric Boocock you had to have Glynn Taylor as they are good mates and Glynn didn't have a job and possibly Glynn and Jason didn't get on so one had to go. Sad really.

It has come as a bit of a shock to me but I believe if you are not happy you get out because you stop enjoying it. Once again we don't know what was said and we will never know so no point in specualting. I do on the other hand believe that Jason does not deserve the utter bial that is being spouted on hear by some forum members. Another thing I have noticed is that Jason has acted with nothing but dignity in this whole affair. I seem to remember the current manager going very public (on this very forum)last time he fell out with Leicester. I hope the relationship will be a little more dignified and professional between all parties in the future.

Yep that would be a solution

Maybe you should read the rule book. The new BSPA rukes make it impossible for anyone with more than 5.00 in the NL rider or a rider with more than 50 NL meetings under their belt to ride anybody who has competed in the PL has no chance i'm affraid. Would you like to try again.?!!!!!

Just going to prove how pathetic and futile the thread is.I think. We are sick of hearing about the track and everything that needs to be said has been said so just hijacking it withn a bit of fun cos that is all it's fit for

I thought you had been banned from this forum for intolerance towards other posters!!! By the way, have you found a motorway for Speedibee to play on since he has been absent for nearly 24 hours?? My thoughts on the track are, for what they are worth, is the racing is getting better by the week. The track won't be be altered now until the end of the season but does appear to follow the guidelines laid down by the SCB. After days of rain, I thought the mill wasted spectator areas have proved that all the work put in over the winter has paid off - no more muddy shoes or boots and it is true that the number of spectators is down but who would turn out in such poor weather other than the die hard supporters. It isn't very enticing freezing cold wondering when the next rain shower is coming. There I go - the "rose tinted spectacles" have been passed on to me to wear this week.

Who are these blokes 'giving it a go' in second halves?................ What is wrong with you people how do you exepct the youth to get better if they don't challenge chaps like Wayne Carter Andy Mountain (who know all the tricks). Riders benefit hugely from the likes of Tony Atkin and John Armstrong in the NL. Are you going to tell Greg Hancock that he is now Mr middle aged and should move aside for the new generaton and Billy Hamill has had to come out of retirement to give the yanks a team in the world cup due to lack of riders. It's all the same just at different levels. Richie Worrall after 3 or 4 NL meetings went straight into the PL and 18 months after he had his first ever meeting in the NL as no. 8 IOW, I believe. He is now doubling up with PL/EL put people on the track with same standard and it gives them a false impression of what league riding is. This should have been done years ago well done to all the Junior Leagues some of us know how much goes into running these leagues when all you feel like doing is turning round and walking away. Nobody flinched when team viking(inc Jona B Andersen sadley rained off) were at Scunthorpe and amatuers rode against them in an amatuer meeting and 2 of those ended up with PL places in the UK staright after. Push the boys give them something to work with and they will deliver the goods. END OF RANT PS forgot Gearge Barclay who started his speedway career at 29

Sorry have to diasgree with you there. There is always a wait if the rider has to go to hospital waiting for a county ambulance to arrive.

What no track deabte today????

Belle Vue don't own their stadium and aren't able to make changes apart from the GH taking priority every penny they have is going into the new stadium which is costing a fortune. Leicester, I believe are spent up aswell. I would say that work which was done as a good will gesture last year is being called in now that Ken Naylor is no longer involved, reading between the lines from LionsDen. Not at all I would say. Like Cardiff I only go for the atmosphere you can keep the rest I don't wnat to drag this thread out anymore so this will be my last word on the subject. Not defending anyone just defending my point of view

Sorry I don't agree Leicester and Belle Vue would be letting the fans down if they stuck 2 fingers up at the sport and turned round and walked away, which is what I would do . I don't see a queue forming to take them over. U are quite right of course he also said it at the 'Long Eaton reunion Do' so not just talking off the cuff either. I have to say if it does go EL i'm not sure I would enjoy it as much. I don't get star struck

Why should the track be a problem to enter the EL? apart from yet another excuse to bring it up. After all Belle Vue are i the Elite League

Good effort by all hope Lewis and Adam are ok

Well face it it's been a bit of a fanny on up till now. I'd even go as far as saying all mouth and no trousers

Fair enough so no reason why BP should not be changed now then!!!!!!! Maybe those that want it changing now should launch a more constructive campaign. I might even do it myself

Best of luck to the YS but I hope they will be relying on a little bit more than luck

To be fair I think Robert 72 is just mischevious and out to wind people up so I tend to ignore him. On another note why did those tracks have to change their shape mid season and why did they not do it in the close season. Is it because the Greyhound tracks had to be altered? and the fact the grehounds don't have seasons it was planned half way through the speedway season? How long did the tracks have to close to get the work completed?

Tracks have to be licensed by the powers that be and I don't imagine an inspection of a re shape half way through the season would be on the cards. I imagine they will have to wait till the close season now..Can I just say I wish DH would close the thing and re shape it then we woulddn't have to listen to permamoaning on here. I'm not bothered about the racing as I have said before but the incesant moaning is starting to get my goat to be frank
