How about instead of awarding league points at the end of the night, you make EVERY race count towards the league, much in the same way they did with the GP's before they ruined it. So if you get a 5-1 you get 5 league points and the opposition get 1, maybe 10 bonus points for winning on the night or something like that... just thinking as I type Been to Brumb a couple of times this season and have been quite impressed with Ryan Guest, good to see some young blood coming up... not quite up to Porky standards yet though

You weren't at the Redcar reopening match then?

OK... was gonna charge you 50p lol

On my YouTube channel?

Bomber did walk away from his spill... in fact he's coming out for his next race now

No minutes tribute to Phil Rising either... disappointing

Bring 'em to Leicester... you'll nod off quite easily Zzzzzzzz

Can you imagine listening to Tai Woffinden and/or Chris Holder with open mikes... the kids would be going home crying

They'll be fishing for a replacement... just hope he doesn't ride in the British Leagues

Unfortunately a nice little setup is not enough to attract punters these days, if by some miracle you do manage to hear about Speedway outside of the Speedway bubble in Leicester after you've been to the nice little setup a few times and marvelled at the riders skills racing at speed you'll start to think hang on a minute this is a load of old crap! As proved by the steady decline in attendances over the years. It's like the Odeon cinema in Leicester, it's had a refit and has got some big comfy reclining leather seats that you could easily fall asleep on, but if they're showing a load of old crap on the screen you ain't going to bother going no matter how comfy the chairs are

Name that track? Leicester seems like a big Wolverhampton

Wasn't that the one that the Speedway Star ran some kind of fraud expose on?

For starters there's a hill on turn 2

So ......... 5h1t is what it is.

Does anybody know when there will be a range of "Dad's Army" merchandise available at Peterborough? Who wouldn't want to be seen wearing a t-shirt with "Don't Panic!" written on the front and "They Don't Like it Up 'em!" on the back?

All that money going out of the sport to engine tuners... with absolutely zero return! I've never been to watch a Speedway meting to see how a rider goes on his newly tuned engine! Or with his newly added piece of "special" kit.

BIRMINGHAM: Erik Riss, Valentin Grobauer, James Shanes, Ashley Morris, Chris Harris, Paco Castagna, Jack Thomas.LEICESTER: Hans Andersen, Dan Thompson, Ryan Douglas, Kyle Howarth, Nick Morris, Joe Thompson, Zaine Kennedy.

or Potatoes...

Peaked in 2008... The Chris Harris effect

Go to bed!

Just Googled it... especially for Alexander apparently... who knew

I thought she was a he Aleksandr?

Who's Sasha?

Agree with everything you say... except for the track, the track, imo, is a disaster! Also, just because things are run well, it doesn't mean they can't be done better, there's not much self promotion being done at Leicester, especially around the Championship success. Although the crowds seem to have held up quite well, it's not what you'd call great... or anywhere near approaching capacity.

What are you talking about? Iainb won't accept it, of course I accept it I have no choice other than to accept it. I was just asking the question why there was no Championship winning merchandise, specifically t-shirts, produced so the club could cash in on their success... @JIROUT very kindly came on here to explain that such merch was produced... even though I haven't seen anything that mentions Leicester are Champions and that he pockets the profits, fair play to him, and pays a rent to the club. You say most clubs, as far as I'm aware JayBea only provides for 7 clubs... by maths, that's not most. Can't comment on the quality but a lot of it certainly looks fine, more than than in a lot of cases. Would I sub out the merch if I were in charge of the club, possibly with clauses, possibly not... we'll never know because there's no way I'd ever sink any of my money into a Speedway club with the current way the sport is run. It's just that all of you Leicester Lions can do no wrong and the sun shines out of the promotion's asses and the racing is brilliant every week on the country's best track merchants have got your knickers in a twist. Leicester can do what the hell they like as a club, if they want to win the League and never mention it again, fine, if they want to sub out their merch and not maximise their success, fine. if you don't want to enter into a discussion about it these forums are the wrong place for you. You were on these forums last Friday begging for the Edinburgh meeting to be called off on the Friday! Slagging off Glyn Taylor. How did you feel on the Saturday at 7pm?
