Bjerre 2nd k Nieminen 3rd H Bager Bjerre and Nieminen had a run off for 1st place and Bager would have been in it too had it not been for an amazing turn 4 display of acrobatics whilst leading in his last ride. Do not know how he managed to stay on and finish and I think he was completely over the handlebars at one point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes he was don't know how kept on it but he did ride well but glad all riders are all well. One question is Chris Popple Lenny the lion Just read on twitter Sam Masters saying lasse took a Danish dive no Sam he was pushed. Sore loser or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Not a very good attendance today I've been told so thank goodness for the 3 coach loads on their way back home from Cardiff. Majority of Leicester fans seem only to be interested in league racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes shame but it was nice to be able to go back would like to go more but cash flow problems as the Mrs just lost her job . Kauko was not happy with the track today but let's hope we get in the play offs better than last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Lion Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just read on twitter Sam Masters saying lasse took a Danish dive no Sam he was pushed. Sore loser or what From my excellent viewpoint Bjerre got it wrong going into the corner and slid off without any assistance whatsoever.

wandersome Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Not a very good attendance today I've been told so thank goodness for the 3 coach loads on their way back home from Cardiff. Majority of Leicester fans seem only to be interested in league racing? I thought the crowd loooked reasonably healthy but as the wife did point out there weren't so many Leicester fans. I guess Individuals such as POTM have died out over the years because of the apathy fans (and riders) have towards them. Do any individuals still get a big crowd? Why wasn't Karlsson riding? I didn't get there until heat 3 so if it was mentioned i missed it. Felt really sorry for Henning in that last race, he deserved a place in the race off. Also impressed by Thorsell. He looked a good prospect. Mick. Edited August 26, 2012 by volty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yet again Magnus flight was delayed he should get a flight one day early I would put him up I am sure my Wife would love it Yet again Magnus flight was delayed he should get a flight one day early I would put him up I am sure my Wife would love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40-38 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Quite a lot of people go away bank holiday weekend as well given that it's also back to school soon so last chance getaways maybe? That said the crowd wasn't as big as I thought it would be. I only just arrived in time for the parade and still got a spot right by the fence.

jackson2 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yep ok but last week from what I was told by a few fans was rubbish but hopefully as we get close to the play offs and the promise of the tarck changes sounds ok. But I over heard Kauko saying to someone who will you be here next season and he said may be not. So is he getting pissed off with the track or all of the changes to mangement and Lambert going who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yes but last week I heard was a right shambles with fans booing if that's correct Yes they were and had every right too I heard the meeting wasnt very well supported today, surprised but again alot of people i guess wont pay out on a nothing meeting.

I don't think fans (or riders as you rightly say) are interested in individual meetings any more. However, whilst agreeing with you, The Brandonapolis at Coventry got a massive crowd but that was probably because it hadn't been held for a number of years so it was a bit of a novelty. Shame there were so many people there because it was a damn awful long drawn out meeting and I left before the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 It was quite a good meeting and nice to see a home rider win there was a few good races with passing. I was very impressed with Jacob Thorsell he rode very well and again Mason Campton looked good. The crowd was not as good as I expected but a combination of things affected the numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either Gemini . the 45,000 at Cardiff must have gone for the interval entertainment , The usual suspects are on here making excuses why the attendance was poor .Why they have to defend everything Leicester speedway does right or wrong is beyond me i don't suppose it has occurred to anyone that a track with a reputation for poor racing and a rubbish line-up was hardly going to tempt people to divert from their journey home after spending the weekend watching the worlds best in exciting surroundings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Enjoyed the racing, shame about Henning, Bjerre worthy winner. Fisher should have been fined for turning up with a bike that was covered in shale along with his leathers, knew we were in for a slow meeting when I read that McGregor was in charge, slowest ref in speedway and can they please do something about the strat marshalls, a right pair of dunder heads, the two minutes on the riders coming round for the race and this pair of fools couldent get the spare tapes fixed to the posts. the big bloke who brings them to the tapes dosent seem to understand that you can move at a quicker pace when you have to and has no idea of what he is doing, suggest he goes and watches how the others do it at Wolves, Cov and Bham, train the bloke. Apart from that enjoyed my sunday afternoon racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was better than normal but not as big as some hoped for. It wasn't poor, It looked a good crowd to me and I would have said it was the second largest of the season after the Karlsson fiasco but there wasn't a huge Leicester contingent in the crowd. Is that me making excuses? Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodaman Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yes but last week I heard was a right shambles with fans booing if that's correct It was indeed a shambles due to the referee not pushing the meeting on - It was entirely down to him in my opinion. I have heard 2 or 3 riders have agreed in principal to come back next year but i would not be surprised if Kauko wasn't one of them given his friendship with Jason Attwood and the animosity between Jason and Glyn Taylor. What animosity?? I don't either Gemini . the 45,000 at Cardiff must have gone for the interval entertainment , The usual suspects are on here making excuses why the attendance was poor .Why they have to defend everything Leicester speedway does right or wrong is beyond me i don't suppose it has occurred to anyone that a track with a reputation for poor racing and a rubbish line-up was hardly going to tempt people to divert from their journey home after spending the weekend watching the worlds best in exciting surroundings Nothing meeting I agree with: but generally the racing has not been so bad this season; admittedly there have been some poor ones as well. Flagrag said there was some good racing on Sunday. Even during the shambles last weekend there was some good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
