W9 Lion

No, it needs to be wired into the clock on the refs control box so that its controlled by the ref.

A clock is not the issue. Being able to wire it into the refs control panel is the issue. We have the display already.

Gustafsson's at Kings Lynn when he had the team logo on them so didnt have to wear a body colour. Well ahead of this time. Sorry its a dreadful image of the suit.

The price of the ticket is not the issue. The value you get for your ticket is the issue in my opinion. Look how much it is to go to Silverstone this weekend but it will be full, because people think they get value for money.

He will end up at the track closest to his home.

Now I know this is the BSF and people never let fact stand in the way of posting, so I will nip this in the bud by using WEF figures. Average 2023 UK salaey $52278 v $16261 in Poland. Also factory in the money from the local council plus their broadcast deal. Its like prem football. They do not need the ticket revenue to survive.

Just looked at the Weather radar we use at the track and moved the location to Owlerton and no rain forecast until after 2am on Saturday morning.

Never going to be awarded on a broadcast or streamed meeting.

We are inviting a group per Lions meeting. There was no point in doing it earlier in the season when it was cold. The Syston Scout Group we invited to the Belle Vue meeting & had a great time.

I didnt start watching speedway until 1984, which is bad timing for a kid from Leicester. I dont think I have ever seen the Golden Era or even good times. Certain events boosted clubs in the short term, Henka signing for the Starts in late 91 resulted in me doing the A47 dash on Saturday nights in the Summer for a few seasons. Leicester coming back in 2011 was another event that gave the sport in the midlands a short term boost. I was up at Workington last weekend and their stadium set up is the future in the UK. Brownfield site, out of town centre. Limited perm facilities but enought to make it an enjoyable afternoon. Reminded me a a smaller scale Swedish stadium.

Yes you can pay at the stadium, cash or card, just queue up at the ticket office. In the stadium car park. If its full Tesco's but it has a three or four hour limit. Please check the signs. Decent fodder, in the lap of the gods. Possible the chippybin tbe shopping centre best option, along with Subway.

Well, seeing that Mullard has not started a thread I guess I should... LEICESTER host Belle Vue in a mouth-watering clash of two in-form sides at the Pidcock Motorcycles Arena, Beaumont Park on Thursday (7.30pm). The Watling JCB Lions are in great shape after four wins in their last five matches, including last week’s terrific victory over Ipswich which was a major boost to their play-off prospects. But this is in many ways an even tougher test with the Aces flying high at the top of the Sports Insure Premiership table, having gone six points clear thanks to home and away wins over King’s Lynn in the last week. The Manchester side won at the Adrian Flux Arena without skipper Brady Kurtz, underlining the power throughout their unit, and of course they bring with them British Champion and GP star Dan Bewley, and Kurtz’s fellow Australian star Jaimon Lidsey who is having an excellent season and now holds a heat-leader berth. Both sides are at full strength with the Lions giving a full debut to new Rising Star signing Drew Kemp, who was so impressive as a guest against Ipswich last week. And with memories still fresh of the Aces’ last visit to the East Midlands in April, another thrilling encounter is expected. On that occasion the sides traded the lead before the Lions established a six-point advantage – only to be reeled back in over the closing stages as the match ended 45-45, before the Aces took the extra league point in a Super Heat. Leicester boss Stewart Dickson said: “This is a big meeting and although I wouldn’t say I’m concerned about it, we know it’s going to be very tough. “We remember drawing with them here and then them winning the Super Heat, and we also have to be mindful of how well they’re riding at the moment. “But we are also riding well collectively, and we’re really getting things together around our own track. “Our recent home performances have been excellent and we need to be focused on getting another win, get past Belle Vue, and then we can turn our attentions to a couple of away matches.” A reminder that gates open at the Pidcock Motorcycles Arena, Beaumont Park at 6pm, with the meeting getting underway at 7.30pm. *DAN Thompson, who was released by the Watling JCB Lions upon the signing of Drew Kemp, has now agreed a deal to join Ipswich in the Rising Star position – ironically taking the place of his twin brother Joe. He makes his Witches debut at Sheffield on Thursday. LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Nick Morris, Jake Allen, Drew Kemp. BELLE VUE: Dan Bewley, Tom Brennan, Jaimon Lidsey, Charles Wright, Brady Kurtz, Norick Blodorn, Jake Mulford.

He may not be out of work for long

I think both the Russians will be off once they are allowed to ride in other leagues . Until then they will remain "loyal" to the UK.

Not turning up for an FIM meeting is a 28 day ban.

LINE-UPS have been declared for a huge night of Sports Insure Premiership action at the Pidcock Motorcyles Arena, Beaumont Park on Thursday. The Watling JCB Lions take on Ipswich with three league points up for grabs after the Witches secured a narrow 47-43 victory in the reverse fixture at Foxhall. The Lions track Drew Kemp as a guest at reserve in the Rising Star berth as Dan Thompson is still serving his mandatory period of absence due to concussion. LEICESTER 1 Max Fricke 8.32 2 Justin Sedgmen 5.35 3 Richard Lawson 7.54 4 Chris Harris (c) 7.45 5 Nick Morris 6.69 6 Jake Allen (r) 4.00 7 Drew Kemp (g) (r) RS TM Stewart Dickson IPSWICH 1 Jason Doyle 10.15 2 Ben Barker 4.42 3 Danny King (c) 6.71 4 Keynan Rew 5.00* 5 Emil Sayfutdinov 8.00* 6 Danyon Hume (r) 3.93 7 Joe Thompson (r) RS TM Ritchie Hawkins

It is the same 2 minute rule as per FIM, with the addition of being under power and heading to the startline. The riders are allowed two minutes (and they know this). I think the Start Marshals at Leicester start to call the riders up to the tapes after 90 seconds. Both have timers on their wrists as you can see them looking at them while they are waiting for the riders. They also call them in in gate order only moving onto B once happy with the position of A.

This looks like it should be a cracker with the line-ups having been declared for Monday's big Sports Insure Premiership clash between the Watling JCB Lions and Sheffield at the Pidcock Motorcycles Arena, Beaumont Park. The teams will line up as follows: LEICESTER 1. Max Fricke 8.27 2. Justin Sedgmen 4.98 3. Richard Lawson 7.71 4. Chris Harris (c) 7.64 5. Nick Morris 6.71 6. Jake Allen 4.00 7. Dan Thompson RS TM Stewart Dickson SHEFFIELD 1. Jack Holder 8.20 2. Kyle Howarth (c) 5.40 3. David Bellego 5.80 4. Tobiasz Musielak 8.07 5. Adam Ellis 6.33 6. Lewis Kerr 5.27 7. Dan Gilkes RS TM Simon Stead The action gets underway on Monday at 7.30pm.

No as riders had clutch, carb and chain issues last night.

Yes you can pay on card at the ticket office and their isnt a surcharge. You just pay face value. I have just checked this with Jen the General Manager.

Its had alot of work with a motorway blade but that has had no impact on the shape or size.

No change to the track size or shape for the start of the season. All the work has been in the in field putting in improved drainage with much bigger capacity.

Because they will get more attractive viewing figures, (and therefore) higher ad revenue across Europe by showing Fencing, Cross Country Skiing, Figure Skating and Cycling.

Suits this season are £700+VAT if from a UK supplier

I understand that but at that stage the ref should exclude them for rolling at the start. When we had the second line that was meant to be beneath the front wheel spindle that appeared to reduce rolling quite alot but it was scrapped after one season.
