It's funny how, although there are still some watching from a distance, people have stopped complaining about the track whilst the Lions have been winning at home.

spot on , and those who choose to watch from afar and argue the tired old points will also have missed the additional passing seen (during the unbeaten home league season) since the dirt was changed to the 'Scunthorpe' style dirt 😄

Just had my greatest races at BP since the Scunthorpe shale was put down DVD . it.s an absolute bargain @ £1 plus postage . only single camera though but still good value for a 2 minute long video

I'm pleased about that.

 

I think it will sit nicely next to your DVD collection of how to talk B******KS for beginners.

From the Lions website, looks like they're fully intent on joining the EL, that is if the others let them join in -

 

Elite League Application

 

The time is drawing ever closer to knowing whether our application to join the Elite League will be accepted. With the Annual General Meeting due to take place over a three day period starting on Friday 16th November we should be in a position to know which league the team will be operating in next season.

Hopefully we will be able to share the news with you shortly after the AGM.

Maybe it's because some people can't respond politely to reasonable questions, answers and opinions?

TBH I'm most surprised to see you actually admit to that . now if you could get some of the other blinkered Lions fans who post on Leicester threads to adopt a similar attitude maybe some of the more open minded leicester fans may come back . that would make the threads a lot more interesting than just the 6 or so regulars who post the same defensive and boring rubbish every time someone posts with a different view .

I take it that by 'open minded' you mean 'anti promotion and always critical' and by 'defensive' you mean people who have a different opinion to you that they genuinely hold and are genuinely happy with the way Leicester Speedway is run overall and accept that not 100% is perfect but the vast majority is as good or better than at many other tracks and proud to be Lions fans .

 

If you can't accept that some people don't hold your consistently critical view then perhaps you should do what you did most of the season when we were winning every week .... And not frequent this Forum.

I suppose whether others will let them in is the thing. I have to say it will show the sad state of British Speedway if Leicester are effectively held back from being where they want to be and where they need to be for their long term future (i.e racing and developing rivalries at the highest level against the close city rivals such as Coventry, Birmingham & Wolverhampton) for the short term gain that splitting the SKY money only 10 ways will give the 10 tracks currently there. If it doesn't happen then my opinion is that it shows again, only too clearly, why Speedway needs someone or something in charge that is able to look at the greater good of the sport over the greater good of the individual promoters and the current crop of half-arsed companies sucking the last drops from a one great sport (such as GoSpeed).

Thank you for this post . it's an absolute classic in the style of ." I take it " of course you do and like the other 6 that's the problem . you take it rather than read and take on board what something says and form an opinion . you" take "whatever your pitiful victim culture makes you see , if you cannot accept that someone may have a different opinion to yours then at least dont show your arrogance by telling them not to post on a public forum . who do you think you are ?absolutely typical of a small section of leicester supporters you think you are so high and mighty that you can join a public forum and then tell longer standing members what they can and can't post .

I'm not sure what the terms are but surely in these times when tracks are struggling all over country the top brass should doing whatever it needs to in order to nurture teams such as Leicester that are actively trying to improve themselves and have the resources and backing, crowd wise at the very least, to make the move and be a veritable asset to the league long term. If no Sky money is on offer for a year then that's basically no go i would have thought. The disadvantage would be too great i'd have thought.

you were quiet during most of the season when the team was winning and there was nothing obvious to moan about , that's my point.

Again YOU choose to completely misinterpret a post and twist it like you always do.

The FACT built from every post you make is, the only people who in YOUR mind have a valid opinion are those who are critical of the Leicester Promotion.

I'm not a victim , I just happen to be a happy Lions fan that's all 😄
