Gemini Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Just had a very heavy shower but now the sun is out again. The Leicester track has very good drainage so showers won't do any harm - just water the track nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennylion Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm 4 miles from track and we haven't had a drop. BBQ and in garden all day. Heard big thunder 3 ish, so depending where the others are, it may have missed it completely. As Gemini says though, it drains nicely if there has been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennylion Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Roynon and Lawson, far too good for MK and KN. Different kettle of fish to our 2 top dogs at the minute but the meeting in general was a real mess throughout and a real poor advert for a night at the speedway. Meeting wrapped up at 9.53 with no big spills and the ambulance never came on to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 the meeting took 2hrs.30mins to complete with no serious crashes, it was a joke, crowds dropped again but after tonight alot more will forget about going there, fans shouting get on with it is not a good sign either. it also seems hemsley doesnt give a monkeys about the club, he would rather have a holiday than support and run the club, is it time he sold up and moved on,as he has ruined the clubs comeback and put the future in doubt..

This is a speedway problem, not a Leicester Speedway problem. Promoter seem to think we all want to hang around for 2.5 hours. 90-105 minutes is just fine.

Another whinge. The lions had their biggest crowd of the season the other week, so your wrong (again) on attendance levels. It may have escaped your notice but there would be no Speedway without Hemsley at Leicester, so far from ruining it he`s made it happen for the enjoyment of so many. It shows the confidence Hemsley must have in his backroom staff if he feels he can take a holiday in the season. Anyway, why would you as a customer even notice that Hemsley was on holiday? Its his business and shows your obsession with him has obsessional tendancies. Edited August 19, 2012 by ballroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I agree the meeting did take a while to run with no major incidents but it is not the clubs fault the referee controls the meeting and decides when to put the two mins on and informs the clerk of the source when the track grades can take place. It was always going to take a while to run anyway as with RR often had riders taking two back to back rides then not helped with 2min exclusions Edited August 20, 2012 by flagrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrow boy Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Crap track Crap referee Crap presentation Crap riding by Leicester Crap starting marshall Guess what it all was. Yes everything was quite simply crap from Leicester's point of view. Workington however just got stuck in and fully deserved their win and in Adam Roynon they have a rider to cherish.

FACT Obsessed no, just want to watch decent speedway at leicester with a decent promotor running it who cares about the fans and the product he is providing.

Shadders Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) it also seems hemsley doesnt give a monkeys about the club, he would rather have a holiday than support and run the club I don't know Mr Helmsley, never met him, I don't even know his first name. Does he have children? If so wouldn't it be appropriate to take them away in holiday, or take them out of school between November and March when you have to fly half way around the world to get any decent weather? Even if he doesn't have kids, doesn't the guy deserve a break? I'm sure there are people quite capable of running the place for a week or two while Mr Helmsley is away.

IainB Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Made my first visit to Leicester this season last night and what a load of rubbish! The 2 and a half hours it took to run this meeting made even Coventry's presentation look slick. Numerous restarts, riders heading straight to the pits after each, boring racing, all the dirt being scraped off the track (twice!), R/R, two riders on the trot, Interval, riders messing about at the start line for an eternity... I could go on about how to put all this right... but why bother? Nobody listens or does anything about it... So I just won't go again, as simple as that And I only live a mile down the road. Cardiff will probably be my last Speedway meeting this year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
