Will there be an Elite next season?

Thanks Tina Marie,just hope I can make myself known to you on Saturday. Cheers JohnD7244, Enjoy your speedway.

JohnD7244 Just thought I'd like to let you know I'm still alive and kicking. See the posts haven't changed much over the last couple of years. Still loads of whingeing about the track being rubbish. No disrespect to Coventry. But it took them 50 years to get a decent racing track. Anyway, I am intending to go to Beaumont Park this coming Saturday for the first time since we re-opened. If you see an old g*t walking about like John Wayne's dad, I'd be grateful if you'd take pity on me, and make yourself known to me. Enjoy your speedway, JohnD7244.

What happened to two of Lions heat leaders? What was the score? What happened to the posters on this thread from the Rebels and Lions supporters? Did Robert Branford impress in his first meeting for the Lions? Hope some of you Rebels can give me some answers. Can only assume Lions posters are too busy whingeing over the state of Beaumont Park's track or what a rubbish promoter we have. Cheers JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway.

Hi to everyone. Finally going to be able to get down to Beaumont Park, to see some speedway on Saturday, Would appreciate makng yourself known to me , I will be the old git with the oxygen cylinder strapped to his back. Let you know what I think about the meeting! Enjoy your speedway. JohnD7244.

No disrespect to you "Spin King", but have you ever heard of Programme Collectors? It's just my preference that I enjoy a programme with plenty of reading content. Each to his/her own I suppose. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway

Sorry Robert, but as I remember. Sheffield is purely turn the taps on and go, As I remember.the only overtakes were by the Sheffield riders. Mind you, the last time I was there was in 1983. I don't suppose it has changed much from the videos I've seen. Quick comment on Sheffield's FREE programme. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute rubbish. seen

Been reading my weekly bible, and found an interesting item by Coventry's new team manager. I would be very interested to hear what our members' comments are on this item. Rough translation: "We have to win all our home matches to get to the play-offs. This means making sure our team have a considerable home advantage. I will be sitting down with all my riders, and asking them how THEY want THEIR track preparing, then trying to keep it exactly as the riders want the track prepared all season." No mention of what the Bees fans want. Haven't seen any posts on the Cov. site yet regarding this statement by Mr Havelock. Are they happy with their lot? Didn't I read somewhere on this topic that the majority of riders enjoyed riding (racing?) on the Leicester track, and the home riders asking Glyn to keep the track as it was for the rest of the season because it gave them some home advantage?. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway.

Just thinking, if this post is correct then Glyn isn't going to be a happy bunny is he?. In an earlier post, he stated that he would be back on the 18th, and would start on the track then. Has someone beaten him to it?. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway

Think the promotion have given us the answer to this one already. i.e.: A team of racers. Most of the riders are young and ambitious, and will improve by leaps and bounds. Also think Glyn is spot on when he says all the riders can improve their averages by at least a point. (Got my rose coloured specs on tonight). I have a feeling Cov. could be in for a nasty surprise on the 16th. . JohnD7244. Enjoy Your speedway. Apologies Robert72 for getting my last post topsy turvy. Told you I'd got my rose tinteds on tonight. Looks like another trip to Specsavers, ah well!! Cheers JohnD7244

East Midlands Bowl. First piece of silverware on the shelf for the Lions. no problem. JohnD 7244, Enjoy your speedway. Get my old mobility scooter to see this one. Should be a cracker whatever the result!!!!

Just wondering whatever happened to the Leicester Lions 2013 SPEEDWAY thread? Must be my age, but I'm sure this is supposed to be a speedway forum!!! JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway, at least if you can remember what this thread is supposed to be about.

GeminiYou're probably right Gemini, this is supposed to be the time for good will to all men and women. I'm sure someone will be saying bah humbug, no names mentioned of course. Hope to meet up with you next season, providing the old legs keep working. Not sure I could recognize you with management not allowing collies into the stadium. (Got to have a dig somehow!!) . JohnD7244. Enjoy your speedway.

Would just like to wish all the management, staff, forum members, and their familys a Happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. JohnD7244 Enjoy your speedway
