I know. ......I was there. Kinda makes my point about getting things set up right though doesnt it.

Well done Sheffield congratulations on your win. However, I wouldn’t get too carried away. Leicester were poor last night. Make no mistake this tie was lost at Beaumont Park a few weeks ago. We should have built up a much bigger lead to take to Sheffield to have stood any real chance of going further in the competition. Sheffield really do have such a massive home advantage, I think they have only lost at home something like 8 times in 15 years. Which says it all really? Unless you ride the track week in week out its very difficult to get your set up etc right. I personally think the loss of Adam Roynon is a big blow to Leicester. I was expecting him to become the sides No 1 eventually. Now we have the same side as last year with the addition of Kevin Doolan, who I do like and think will get better. But, I think our form away from home will again let us down.

I think you'll see. We will certainly finish much higher than Sheffield.

Its only flippin showers...........Northern Softies

Arnt we forcast some wet stuff ?

Its a fair point.

I think this is a good post. I think the racing at Leicester could be better but the fact of the matter is that it aint gonna change in the foreseeable future, if at all. Its probably time to make your mind up to A/ except things the way that they are and continue to go, or B/ stop going and find an alternative track to go to or C/ learn to love Ant & Dec and the delights of Saturday night TV. We can moan till the cows come home, but lets face it. Leicester is what it is. Its a shame I know but there you have it.

I think you do have a point. It is a very good car park.

I know I'm not good at predictions. But, I think Leicester will struggle at Sheffield. I hope we can keep it close and I'm looking forward to seeing a good meeting.

Sheffield may have a free race card, but, parking is £2. Racing has improved slighty at Leicester turns 3 & 4 are starting to develope more lines. Having said that I find the track far to slick and they grade it to much.

I think you can be sure of that

I was interested to find out exactly what he does. And at the end of the interview I still don't have a clue. What ever it is he does, it takes him up to ten hours a day to do it. but I suppose taking programmes out of boxes from the printers can be time consuming.

Your absoluty right, I'm rubbish at it. Credit to Sheffield I certainly underestimated them . I'll be there this coming Thursday to see the mighty Lions..............don't think I'll make a prediction though.

Having watched the Wolves v Bell Vue match on the box the other night. I'm begining to reconsider my views about BP.

Scunny to win by 10.

Mr Stead obviously knows a lot more about riding a Speedway bike than I do. All I can say is that the fairy dust aint working very well, or something else is wrong. Because it didn't produce exciting close racing thats for sure.

Fair coment. Sheffield were better than I thought they would be. I'm not so sure it would have been so close had Roynon been riding. But, he wasn't, and Sheffield did make a fist of it. I've not yet fully made my mind up about the track. It was very very slick, I think it could do with more dirt on it. I stand on the 4th turn and there is definatly more of a outside line developing and that will perhaps improve things in the coming weeks. I don't know if the cold weather had any bearing on things but the racing at Scunthorpe the day before wasn't to its useual standard either. I suppose time will tell.

oh boy........Never been so cold in my life. Good Game, Fair Result

Don't think this will be much of a contest to be honest. Carn't see Sheffield getting any where close.

I shall be going to this one, and would be suprised if we didn't come away with a win.

It all sounds very encouraging. Looking forward to see how the alterations to the track effect things. Not long to wait now

Just over a week to go until the Lions get back into action with the visit of the Coventry Bees. I must admit I'm rather looking forward to the up and coming season. Looks like we have a fairly strong team this year. How do you think we'll do ?

How does one become a part promoter ? Are you elected to the position by the members of the board of directors, or do you invest an amount of cash in to the business. Do you answer an advert in the promoters and posh titles gazette or do you just know someone ?

I don't know if the changes will make any difference and to be honest, I don't think anyone does. At least not until there has been a few meetings. I think it probably wise to reseve jugment until that has happened. All I will say is that I hope they have got it right this time. I personally can't stand another season of follow the leader every week.

I think there is probably a sizable amount of money that can be earned by the top boys in the PL. However, I think you need to be scoring well consistantly. A couple of bad weeks and I guess what you earned previously is wiped out. I suspect they also rather enjoy the job.
