Well, if that's the plan then let's hope the fans who give up after the first few meetings decide to return again but more than likely they will have found something else to do. It's bad enough knowing we're probably going to lose the first match against Poole.

What I don't understand....and perhaps a Swindon fan can explain.....If they haven't started on the new stadium yet and are going to use the old one until it's ready why has a house been built in/near the pits or are they going to be in a different place?

Yes, you're right. Sorry. I'm referring to Dave Burton who I believe is one of the car park stewards but I can't check the 'Secret Group' which Dave it was as the post seems to have disappeared now. Perhaps the secret group is going to be even more secret and only season ticket holders will be told about it.

Yes, a quick walk across the Speedway track to get to the funfair and probably the only reason I could persuade my two to go to Belle Vue.

I don't think the ashes were actually scattered but were buried in a container where the old start line used to be, but I could be wrong. I'm sure I read somewhere this bit won't be affected by any building work, but I don't know how they work that one out.

I already knew the answer would be 5 because he's one of the staff so would get in free. Just a shame he's pleased it's Coventry's last season (barring a miracle) as no fan should want a track to close. Worse still to gloat about it on the 'Save Coventry Speedway' page. Hope I never go in the car park or I might just be tempted to forget where my brake is if I see him. At my age I'd probably get away with it now and avoid a prison sentence. Don't know but I've downloaded that little lot to see if it's correct when the season starts and compare the details to the other tracks I go to - Peterborough and Coventry. By the way you've missed out the sun break.

The only one who seems to be in agreement on Facebook is Dave Howard and on here rmcts so if I add 2 + 2 together I wonder if it will make 4?

Not if it means admitting he got the shape wrong in the first place. I think the moaning being done was more to do with the fact there would be a new secret Facebook group for season ticket holders only. No-one is saying season ticket holders shouldn't get extra perks but why does there have to be a secret group? Not everyone can afford a lump sum especially if more than one in the family is a supporter and paying at the gate doesn't make them any less of a fan.

Four deep along the back straight? No-one was there, in fact I think it was closed off as was the end section of the grandstand. I haven't got a very good camera but if anyone wants to have a look at my photos they're here. https://www.facebook.com/janet.hambleton/posts/10154467547727785?pnref=story

Yes, I would imagine that will be the last thing to happen.

Oh come on that would be totally unfair on Bomber. He's already 2 seconds behind the other three riders so if rolling starts were allowed they'd be at the first bend before he moved.

Surely Leicester aren't that desperate.

Have you changed your mind now as I thought you were giving Speedway at Beaumont Park a miss this season?

Told you. Sod's law working again.

Because I like to annoy people............ https://www.facebook.com/janet.hambleton/posts/10154461960927785?comment_id=10154462063722785&notif_t=feed_comment

Perhaps just as well I haven't booked our usual week's holiday in May and September because I'd better start saving my money with the prospect of Speedway at Coventry, Leicester (now the track is being altered) and the odd Peterborough Sunday meetings.

That's a shame Colin as it would have been a lot cheaper to get a subscription. She must love you very much.

I was very shocked myself. SCB is such a lovely quiet, meek, uncontroversial person normally. I think there must have been a full moon or all the planets were lined up wrongly that changed his personality that fateful day.

That link just takes us back to the forum topic.

You're probably right but it's damn hard while still reading the forum to keep your fingers away from the keyboard. I've had a few breaks over the 15 years the forum has been running when I've thought right that's it I'm not bothering anymore ~ although I've never publicly done a 'Goodbye' topic ~ but it never lasts for long.

Yes, but they've got to start somewhere. Perhaps they're just practicing on 3/4 to see how it goes then if all goes well start on 1/2.

Mick Horton and Co. seem to get a lot of stick on here at times but they have done more for promoting the Bees than any other previous promoter. Whether their efforts have worked or not I don't know but credit where it's due for trying.

Yes well done David for at last taking notice of all the comments about the track and doing something about it. Looks like it is quite extensive work as well and not just the 3rd/4th bend like someone mentioned on here? Hopefully I will be back at Leicester more regularly this season as long as Lucy is still allowed. https://www.facebook.com/LeicesterLionsSpeedway/videos/1027614653946978/?fref=nf
