Happy Hunter

In 2017 the Supporter's Club made a donation of £2500 to the promoters towards the cost of the repair to wind damage to the roof on the stand on the home straight.

The Fours were staged at Leicester in 2011. Were there any problems then? I know it wasn't the day after Cardiff but the pit area and parking restrictions haven't changed.

I suspect that any improvement to the track lighting will need planning approval from the City Council as I think the lighting was subject to planning conditions when a the track received planning permission.

Sorry it's Bureau not Board. Memory failure!

You can see copies of the referees official scorecard under downloads on the Speedway Control Board website. Last season Carmarthen rode their home fixtures at Stoke. Danny did not ride in all the home meetings. For away meeting scores you will need to find out who they rode and when.

The Aussies will be up for getting some tinnies in the Esky!

Perhaps a Strine dictionary will be part of the deal. G'day all.

Not sure that there will be much of a National League to progress in next season.

I think most of the Lions team have already signed. The promoters are just drip feeding us with the names. Last Saturday they said on their website that they hoped to name the full team within a week of the AGM.

I thought he hung his gardening boots up years ago!

I first went to Blackbird Road as an eleven year old in 1949 so just think what waiting 70 years feels like! Hope the Cubs can make it a quadruple - that would take some beating!

According to the BSPA and Kent websites the first leg of the play off against Kent will be at Kent on Monday, 14th October at 6.30 p.m..

Having nothing much to do on a damp Monday morning I have had a look at the averages. When Worrall was injured I calculated his average for this season to be 8.76 (including bonus points). The Lions have used 8 different guests (16 meetings) and, on one occasion, rider replacement. Including bonus points the average works out at 8.71. More or less identical!

One thing I like about speedway fans is their sense of humour!

I think you are right about Worrall. I was thinking about starting a new thread on the lines of "did Worrall getting injured help the Lions top the league?".

I think I had seen yesterday's shirt before!

Well done the Cubs. Two finals can't be bad!

The Cubs already have a double header on Saturday and then some of them including Lions Perks are involved in the NL Riders Championship on Sunday. Some of the Lions are also involved in the PL playoffs next week.

and on Lion's website.

The Redcar and Stoke dates are already fixed so there are possibly 4 more to fix.

Local forecast not good. Does anyone know what the restaging options are? Leicester's two teams could still have 4 more home fixtures to fit in.

Both teams lineups would be useful.

There will be a chance to see the Potters again on 5th Oct at Leicester for the second leg of the k.o. cup semi final.

I was relying on the following regulation:- 16.3.3 No Team changes will be allowed after 28th August with the effective date being 31st August, except for riders returning to the Team after injury who must re-take their position, dictated by their MA with their replacement being released.

I think it's too late to replace him now.
