Another night of NON racing, its now time the promotion made serious changes or put it up for sale before the sport is completely finnished in leicester.

What was in the programme notes last night? Next weeks will be interesting

Could be a long night

Why did they sign a rider like bjerre who was likely to miss so many matches ? Will he be there tomorrow at BP

I think alot of people wont part with anymore cash until things are changed.

Blackbird scored more than BOTH our reserves put together today so yes i do care and i bet a number of lions fans also feel the same, we should of kept blackbird and got rid of nielsen & graversen first,oops i also forgot about kerr who got paid 9 today, thats 2 good riders we chucked away.

What was the reason behind blackbird leaving ?

which part of the comments?

Tina, please dont talk about how riders ride a bike unless you have done it yourself as it looks silly to those who have raced on here.The problem at BP is down to the shape and NOT the riders.

What a stupid attitude about putting things like making racing better to the bottom of the queue,hemsley is killing speedway at leicester who is in the gang neb? Superb post and also to add to that, if plans were drawn out by track experts and fans were told the cost of changes,i think they would help raise that money towards it being changed.

No it doesnt tell the whole story,You say if hemsley wasnt there then there wouldnt be a problem, thats partly right,because anyone with sense would change the track,You also make it out to be personal and not about the product that is wrong. I guess you would carry on going to a restaurant and not complain even though the food is disgusting,pay them and smile as you leave saying it was lovely.

She isnt the first and wont be the last to leave after words with hemsley.

Do you seriously think its good buisness to even think about elite league for leicester,I think that was another pipe dream that they knew was not affordable for the club but what fans wanted to hear, shame they dont put more evert into the main issue the track. So the promotors wife has gone from the club now, will her husband follow?

I suggest he sells now then to save leicester speedway because at the moment he is killing it.

Spot on post

Yes and he built a large cycle speedway track and ruined the dreams of many leicester fans who wanted to see real speedway racing on a track fit to produce overtaking, how could one person mess up from a blank sheet and still refuse to change things. It would take a real man to put there hands up and say i got it wrong and change it.

nob, you keep on with your threats of meeting up? are you that dumb as to think i would meet you and like others we have spoken to hemsley,we have filled out the questionaire,nothing has been done. so far you havnt shown that you have a clue on business or speedway so i guess you should not try and make silly comments at those who do. yes fans will vote with there feet, sadly those who have spent alot of money on season tickets are stuck to watch that every week,those people i feel sorry for as they were led to believe big changes were to be made to the track during the winter. nob, do you not fear for the future of leicester speedway if you are happy people like myself are walking away?

David hemsley will NOT listen to anyone FACT, fans have complained about the track from day one and now we are into the third season and its still the same and the racing is really dire,But having spent alot of money there to witness what i have seen i feel robbed as do others. Speedway wont last in leicester unless changes are made to the track,fans are fed up. Like i said,hemsley needs to listen to the paying public and not attack them in his programme notes

I think you speak for alot of people I hear that saturdays 4tt is off now due to the lack of track staff ? Maybe time to change the track now,lol

Yes i have said it to his face and to AJ aswel, its not working, also other people have said to them about the track and the poor racing. This is the third season now, enough is enough

Mr Hemsley you made it very clear in your programme notes your views about fans moaning on the internet and also that you were not happy about the recent poor attendance of the leicester v edinburgh match which was run on a wet and cold night and you said unless fans support speedway in leicester they could lose it. Simple way to stop fans moaning and not walking away from the club is to listen and make the track changes fans expected, People go to expect to see racing with passing,this has very rarely happened at BP since it opened. You said after the first season ended that track changes were going to happen over the winter but they never did and many fans were not happy to sit through a second season of watching a track that riders couldnt pass on walked away but many loyal hardcore fans stayed in the hope you would change it and there was even talk of changes mid season last year but you said the riders didnt want change,you chose professional riders who should adapt to any track before the paying public,not a good move, then during the winter you said the track changes were to be made,the date kept getting later, it was then said you were waiting for glyn taylor to return from austrailia but then you quickly did the changes Your way a day or two before he came back, you moved the track a meter inwards which even fans know that it would make No difference, Its sad as many were expecting big changes and went out and bought season tickets due to that happening,can you imagine the disapointment having spent all that money to witness a third season with the worst track in speedway,You blamed the fans for not supporting the club last week against edinburgh but you are the one killing the sport in leicester not the fans . Many fans like myself have had enough and your rant in the programme was the final straw,you need to put your hands up and say you got it wrong and make changes NOW if you really care about leicesters future.

I take it your Not happy with DH tiny changes that we all knew wouldnt make a difference but your hands are tied and you cannot speak your mind at the moment which many fully understand. Do you honestly think you will have many fans left to watch the lions come september if drastic track changes are not made ? Attacking fans in the programme was a very bad move and didnt go down well at all last night.

You are seriously wrong,because even if GP riders were to race at BP then it would still be the same result, the track shape is all wrong FACT. Hemsley has messed it up, he tried to fool fans by saying track changes have been made,video evidence soon came out and showed he clipped the edges,no real difference to the track or the dire racing. Also toilet block with 3 urinals,he is out of his depth as a promotor,its his way or no way doesnt work as proven. Time he listened to experts or sold up for the sake of leicester speedway

Good win but that was the same crap racing as we have seen since it opened,the only passes were due to 2 mistakes,its time Hemsley sold up for the sake of leicester speedway.
