Did Anyone video the Dave Darcy show after the meeting ?

I thought the track looked awful yesterday, badly prepared and the riders deserved better. Crowds will drop with what was seen last night.

Food and soft drink prices have gone up and the quality has dropped ,After the poor quality yesterday I will Simply eat before I go and will take a drink with me.

It's been years of waiting for a better track, many came back to give it another try after track alterations but last night was a shocker and at £17 it's not value for money. As for Dave Darcy, well I am sure someone will comment on what was said or have a video link,total embarrassment.

After tonight a lot of fans have seen enough and won't give it another chance.

Has Darcy Ward announced the figure raised yet ?

Leicester management brought shame on the club tonight. Team manager they chose is clearly not good enough, far too many mistakes made this season already by him that has cost the club. Riders selected are poor, was graversen that last and only option, if so the sport is in a bigger mess than I thought. Also Ayres is not good enough for this league and needs replacing. The track was the worst it's been and maybe they should of kept glyn. Alot of lions fans will think hard about spending money on a weak patched up team again after tonight.

It could start with a sun break or a long wait for the fans to get into the stadium Enjoy

It's a shame we didn't have a full team as you wouldn't of won and as for Aussies I think it's great that the lions don't have one.

Wasn't the Aussies bailed out by a British promotor last season so they could ride in the World Cup The good thing about Leicester is they don't have any whinging Aussies in the team this season lol Leicester Win tonight by 4 points

It's sad that you have gone again glyn as you did a good job,Do you think another return will be happen as you have gone a few times now and then returned ?

So they don't get a free van ? the Aussies I knew did, Workshops were arranged for them, mechanics for some of them,the Aussies have always been well looked after here but I can't say that about the British riders in their own country.

If the British riders got the same things from British promoters that the Aussies get then maybe we would be up there, saying that who was it who financially backed the Aussies in last years World Cup ? Maybe he should of done it for the Brits instead.

So are you saying they get a free van on arrival plus a house, workshop and are better looked after than most of the Australians ?

Poole very lucky they have Klindt at reserve as they look weak. I doubt that Chris Holder or Doyle will get a good reception at Poole after the ward meeting disaster that seems to have damaged the Poole crowds.

So All the Austrailian riders that come over here were already world class then ? Lol Brits Do NOT get the same treatment in Austrailia or any other country as they get here.

Bob was on the track before the riders had gone back to the pits, he was superb producing a good track and keeping the meeting going fast, many people in charge of track grading should learn from him as I agree, too much hanging around now in cold evenings puts people off going till it's warmer. Bring back the rakers would be a good thing.

Would a young or older British rider be welcomed in Austrailia and get a home,van,sponsors plus get more rides than most Australians ? Would many young or older British riders be welcomed in Poland,Sweden,Denmark and get two leagues to race in ? If the answer is No then why is British speedway helping the careers of riders from countries who look after there own and not our riders in return.

You clearly want British speedway to die with your statement. There has always been favoritism for Aussies at Poole for well over 30 years.

How many Brits have been lost to the sport due to promotors and team gb managers who prefer Aussies over Brits and our own riders not getting the same support. Aussie riders have always been better looked after than a lot of British riders and that's wrong.

A close Lions away Win

The bookies have Swindon down as faves for finishing bottom of the league.

Comic relief is a registered charity but is the Darcy Ward foundation or is it just more cash in Darcy's pocket

Cash in hand for Darcy and no questions asked then.

There has been No comment from glyn or Leicester Leicester seem quiet about things at the moment.
