Somebody will

It's pretty much normal Leicester, there's normally at least a couple of half decent races but not nearly enough! 3rd and 4th bends seem pretty unrideable again

Don't be fooled by the spectator facilities either, unless you're stood on the fence getting filled in the sight lines ain't great... Fortunately there's nothing to see

It's good to see Speedway being LGBTQ friendly

I agree with everything you say except for Coventry riding at Leicester is not Coventry... If it had been a continuation of the same or similar team in the same league then maybe, but for me not a completely different set of riders in a different league

Believe me, I was asking myself the very same question!

It was alright I suppose... just wait until you see Leicester vs Poole on Monday though!

I don't think anybody is saying it shouldn't have been abandoned... it should have been abandoned at the point the only ambulance on site went off to the hospital Boo Hoo! I'm currently out of work, zero income, I paid £18 to watch that debacle on Wednesday night... unfortunately I can't rely on insurance payments. Also where was Buster's compassion when he binned off Batchelor and Holder the other year, knowing full well they wouldn't be able to find alternative employment in this country for the rest of that season?

OK, I'll take your word for it... I'm not going to go back through Lynn threads, I wish I wasn't on this one... If Buster had booked 2 ambulances I probably wouldn't be

You're obviously an apologist for Buster and he can do no wrong in your eyes, nobody has suffered life changing injuries here so quite why you think he should be nursemaiding riders with injuries instead of running his business and the sport in general is beyond me. I hope you're happy when you're stood alone in an empty stadium watching your Speedway

I don't know the guy, maybe he is, I hope so... but sometimes there is the bigger picture to think about

I didn't realise Buster was a Dr... and if he can't handle being Chairman and running KL, perhaps it's time for him to step down from one of his roles

I haven't bought a programme for years and was totally unaware of the "new" refund rules... does the heat 6 rule not apply anymore?

That's funny because that's what was happening at KL last night... All the fans were herding out of the stadium

The point is it was all so avoidable... but that doesn't seem to bother you all the way up there on the moral high ground. Just because a rider gets injured that doesn't make it OK for the promoter to mug the punters off

It's ok it being a holding area if the county ambulance arrives within minutes, you couldn't expect an injured rider to wait there for 3 hours, as they didn't... that's when a lack of on site ambulances is a problem

we don't "need" to call them Wolverhampton Heathens... you can call them what you like, it would be a more accurate description though

Chapman hasn't even addressed the events of last night at KL, so what hope for the rest of the sport? What's the thinking behind the withdrawal of Friday's for these clubs, any ideas?

"8.2 The minimum Personnel and Facilities required at a Speedway Meeting (including an Amateur Meeting) are: one (1) Medical Officer one (1) Ambulance with a Driver and Attendant one (1) Medical Treatment Facility four (4) First Aid Staff The minimum Personnel and Facilities required at a Training Session (but not one that also includes a Meeting of any sort) is one (1) Medical Treatment Facility plus 2 First Aid Staff. 8.2.1 The Medical Treatment facility may be a 2 nd fully equipped Ambulance or a designated Medical Room, with good access, is well lit, dry, windproof and heated with curtains or similar at all windows, has a chair/couch or similar, a supply of basic medical equipment and facilities for hand washing with hot and cold water. NB. If this is a 2 nd Ambulance appropriately qualified persons must be available to supervise a casualty" So KL doing the bare minimum?

At least it's nice to see a short apology on the website, just a few sentences explaining what happened and a sorry for those fans that left well before the end and have no doubt hit the website looking for an apology/explanation... Oh that's right... absolutely nothing... you reap what you sew

Cynical

Don't think I said "must" I'd be interested to know why you think it's Coventry Bees (other than in name only) and how you're identifying with them

The problem is that it's called Coventry... which is an insult to many. Why not call it Beaumont Bees?

I think some people just find what Horton is doing is in bad taste. I don't live in the Cov area so don't know what he's doing to get a return to Cov. Compare with CH and over the years they have been pretty active in trying to secure a return to the Dudley area for their team, has Horton?

It ain't Cov though is it... you may as well call them the Timbuktu Tigers
