The call has gone out for racenight volunteers but still no sign of ticket prices or anything like that. What can we expect?

Are they a registered charity? 🤔😁

You can expect £25 👍🏻

More volunteers than paying spectators?

Buster bought Leicester hoping to run stock cars which the council refused, that’s why he sold it to the Bates very quickly.

I see Northampton are now advertising for staff, leaving things a bit late🤔

At no point in time did Buster own the stadium which has always been an asset owned By David Hensley via Beaumont Sports Complex Ltd for which he is the sole Director and built on leased land owned by Leicester City Council. 
Buster stepped in to acquire the club in order to maintain speedway at the venue which was ultimately taken over by the Bates. 
The stadium itself was designed and built with the sole purpose of hosting speedway. Holding stock car racing at the stadium was and never has been a consideration.

He also bought Mildenhall a few seasons back resold but took all the riders with him to use or sell on.

If i lived nearby i'd be there if they're paying £25 especially if they throw in free parking. Presume it'll be in cash?

Anyone know whether their track has been given the ok yet?

And if so, have/will the riders be getting some practice in before the first home meeting?

This weeks Star says the fence is still on order, the pits haven't been built yet and there is work to do on the stanchions. Once its done they are hoping to arrange a practice day
