IainB Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Well that's me and Beaumont Park through! I said I'd never go again but got tempted by this one... What a mistake! Young lions were for the most part pathetic, racing almost non existent... Don't know what it was like after the interval as I left... With a load of others! The last match I went to was in the KOC vs Workington... Have I just been unlucky or is this the type of rubbish that is served up every week?

No match between Oz & GB is a non-important fixture, Robbie me ol' mate; if you don't believe me ask the riders involved. Seems strange that reading updates it sounded like a good meeting all round: Ben & Josh & the lads trying their guts out for youse mob and as usual everyone growing an extra leg once they pull on the Green & Gold.

wandersome Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Got to say that this meeting was a trully appaling advert for speedway. A very good job so few people turned up. For the first time in my life i actually left a meeting early due to boredom (i'd had enough at 10.10 and heat 13, my uncle baled after heat 12 but what seemed a 1/2 an hour before me!). Who was the referee because i can't find out who it was anywhere. Shocking display by him/her and it ought to be the last meeting they officiate. I missed why Josh Auty ended up back in heat 3 but whatever the reason it would have to be classed farcical. A farce that removed the importance and meaning of the meeting. In heat 12 Grajczonek and Campton were sat at the tapes for what seemed like 10 minutes with no sign of the GB riders, or more importantly the 2 minute warning. Did he forget. By that time did we care! I'm not even going to mention the tractor coming out for a 10 minute grade of the track 1 heat after a 20 minute delay (whilst they fixed a fence panel because of a crash) when no sign of the tractor was seen. Sorry, i just did mention it! The track was/is hopeless, Not a single proper overtake until Auty in heat 12. A depressing sight to see the effort Lewis Bridger was putting in without any headway being made on clearly slower riders. Next year's season ticket money and sponsorship money are staying firmly in my pocket until i see those physical track changes made. I'm afraid the track shape has no redeeming features. My money isn't being spent on promises or benefits of the doubt next year, it will be out when i can see those changes. finally, due to the crowd being so thin and the extra time we were getting before the start of the meeting and between heats i decided to put my old concert promoter head back on for the night and do a walk round head count! There were between 650-700 people watching last night. Anyways, hopefully, with a couple of weeks off, i'll be forgot all this and feel passionate for the Lions (if not for the track) come the next Leicester home meeting but not holding my breathe. Mick.
