  1. I dont think anybody other than the BSPA wants it . not the fans not the the riders not the Nl promoters ,and if you are to create a league which is purely for the purpose of development , then you have to have a system where the developed riders can go afterwards and get a decent run at it . as it is the gap between NL and championship is too big ,and if you make the step up you will most likely be replaced within weeks by an untried foreigner
  2. Lambert is not a very good example of the virtues of nl speedway . it's no secret that he and his family credit germany with his rapid rise to the top , and he did very few NL meetings anyway before jumping straight into the premiership , a better example would have been Craig Cook , or Chris Harris both spent a couple of full seasons in the third tier while making their way up
  3. The same reason Thousands yes that's right thousands go out MX racing each and every weekend , because despite the costs which are equal to speedway , it's what they choose to do ,
  4. some elite league riders bin the clutch plates after every meeting , others keep them for 4 or 5 , 8 plates at £40 each , front chains last for about 10 meetings unless you want to risk your neck and have one break then you can push them further , About £40 for a primary chain . back ones last about the same and cost the same , if you want to maintain reliable kit speedway is a money pit with no bottom , dont forget the chainsprays and filter sprays , clutch bodies at £500 dont last a full season either
  5. warm up and 4 heats = 850 ml of new oil . about £10 . rebuild every 30 races ,£400
  6. leicester wasn't built on a rubbish tip , Hemsley imported the rubbish tip @£35 a load to pay for the place
  7. I haven't heard anything about Hopwood . Is he still riding ?
  8. thats correct , but this team wouldn't have a group actively working against it , so a few might turn up to watch ,
  9. you'll be looking at £100 + for an unmade Protar Kit
  10. IF brum goes up . I hope they will continue with their MDL team aswell
  11. Pretty simple really . unless of course you want to invent something else , at the moment they dont have a name ,so whatever they may be called . not rocket science is it . If you think tieing the 2 together as leicester 1 and 2 is a good idea , fair enough , who cares really , except not too far away there are at least 2,000 speedway fans who have no team and will have nothing to do with leicester in any form . if you dont want any of their support ,fine ,call them Lions 2 if you like . lions cubs hunters all mean exactly the same thing .... Leicester
  12. the whatevers are a standalone team in their own league no need to tie them to any other team, In fact trying to tag them onto another leicester team will have a negative effect
  13. What the holy F%%k are you on about now , have you forgot to take your medication ? go soak your head
  14. the only connection is in the minds of people who go looking for things to be offended about , pathetic really
  15. I think something with a local flavour instead of the usual animals , in the style of Colorado Avalanche ,Pittsburg Steelers , Detroit Pistons .. maybe ,Beaumont Chavs , Leicester Turbans , Leicester Vindaloos .
  16. I would quite like to see a further explanation of that , lets have fact though not your personal opinion ,
  17. what have the thompsons done that leads you to conclude they will outshine anybody , personally haven't seen anything
  18. Sounds like Leicester have a good man there .
  19. I have heard of Stuart Dickson before but I can;t think where , has he been a team manager previously ?
  20. certainly hasn't , when they failed to honour the refund for the kings lynn match that didn't get run , it costs them at least 2 season tickets that I know of .
