Sorry, I forgot... Scunthorpe is local club for local people, we'll have no trouble here! Thompson's are too good for NDL, they'll learn nothing more there. Blocked from Twitter, so you know why? You don't even care, care enough to go trawling through my posts though. I do quite enjoy our joustabouts though Back to this meeting... do you know for sure how many ambulances and paramedics will be in attendance... was thinking about lowering myself to make the trip up. I know there's a bouncy castle, not sure about medical cover... And if you see Craig...

I know... R/R is so annoying, sadly it's not down to me. Have you tried emailing the club? lions@leicesterspeedway.com Don't hold your breath for a reply...

I knew all the Rob Godfrey apologists would come crawling out of the woodwork sooner or later... What took you so long? If you're going to have a pop, please have the decency to quote me in on it

Anxious is a funny word to use, has negative connotations

IronStalker, What's your point?

Internet

Yes, If you're going to be a pedant then I stand corrected on the number of ambulances, I think I stated that there was only 1, when in actual fact there was only 1 paramedic... the result was the same.

If your usual cover isn't available you arrange other alternatives, I always watch the news and am well aware of the staffing crisis within the NHS, I don't think clubs rely on NHS staff attending matches for medical cover though, I think they go to third part agencies. I do not spend 100% of my time on here stirring things up, probably much less than 1% of my time... and what do you mean by stirring things up? I take it you mean somebody with a different opinion to yours? And FYI I am not banned from the Leicester forum, I'm not aware there is one... I'm blocked on Twitter... by Birmingham also for that matter, just for expressing an opinion, tells you all you need to know about those promotions, they must think like you that I'm not allowed an opinion

That does seem to be the sensible solution... Speedway not great at sensible solutions though

The only 2 criticism's I've made of Scunthorpe, from memory, are when They tried to claim Adam Ellis was injured last year when he was clearly riding in France and the lack of medical cover for the Leicester match and your promoter coming on the PA as the victim, stating circumstances beyond his control in the following limited statement. I've never criticised the staff. Now we are in full knowledge of all of the circumstance surrounding the abandonment... and the fact still stands that there was inadequate medical cover in place for the meeting to continue.

I think you know, as you seem to follow everything I post so closely, that everything is far from perfect at Leicester... so why the aggression from a section of Scorpions fans?

Rude! Why so aggressive?

OK, fair point... I did just pluck my numbers out of the air, which I shouldn't have done and I do understand that they are the future of the sport. I just don't want to pay to watch them at the level they are currently at. It's a personal choice and that's what my gripe is, with matches against these clubs I do not have this choice. The only choice I have is to attend or not to attend. I'm not so sure that the cost thing stacks up as a reason though... What proportion of fans follow both teams I wonder? Serious question Added to that, there have been serious problems in recent years in getting double headers finished... especially with junior riders involved and R/R

I take your point and understand where you're coming from but for every Thompson Twin or Dan Bewley there's 10 riders who will never make the grade, you only have to look at the team rosters from 5 or 6 years ago to see who have progressed. Looking at your info, it looks like you watch your Speedway at Belle Vue... which is a very different experience to watching a Double Header at Leicester... in fact have BV ever doubled up the Aces with the Colts?

Serious question... Why are they anxious?

I'm pretty sure there are 7 days in a week and 7 riders in a Speedway team... damn! I've just given you the answer Yes I probably was harping on about it and I'll continue to harp on about it while this continues to happen. Leicester, Berwick, Plymouth & Edinburgh seem to have made an arrangement between themselves that they'll run double headers when they meet each other. Well I'm not prepared to support this, it's my choice as it is my right to come on here to express it. I'm quite happy to pay £18 to watch the Lions in action, no interest in watching junior speedway at all. Leicester, in particular, have shown they are incapable of staging a double header within a 4 hour time frame and other clubs involved in this arrangement have also fallen foul of curfew limitations in the past... So I as a Leicester Lions fan have no alternative other than to pay an inflated price to watch my team in action 4 times during the season... I notice that Edinburgh and Plymouth are not forcing this on their fans for their home matches

How many days are there in a week? I'll give you a clue... it's the same as the number of riders in a Speedway team... and a further clue, the answer is not 6

Looks like we're blaming Her Maj

That's the fella... he did seem to have a bit of an attitude, maybe believed his own hype, wasn't in the SGP2 qualifiers either

How about just making it NOT a double header... And maybe fielding a full team... for a reasonable price?

Kevin Juhl Pedersen

Whatever happened to that Danish wunderkid who debuted in the Ekstraliga when he was 16? Can't remember his name... seems to have dropped off the radar?

I think Jason Doyle wasn't taking any of that either on Saturday night

What shall we blame: Brexit? Covid? The War in Ukraine? The Queen's Jubilee?

Best call the ambulance now
