barrow boy Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Will Josh Bates be riding. He crashed out at Scunthorpe last night and went to hospital for an ankle x-ray or will a genuine 3 pointer will be used instead and strengthen them.

robert72 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I was interested to find out exactly what he does. And at the end of the interview I still don't have a clue. What ever it is he does, it takes him up to ten hours a day to do it. but I suppose taking programmes out of boxes from the printers can be time consuming. Â he does 10hrs a day at BP 7 days a week plus he runs his own buisness aswel, how does he fit it all in? plus what does he spend 70hrs a week at BP doing?

jackson2 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Counting the gravel. How does he expect Kevin Doolen to have any confidence we he doesn't think he will improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Danny Halsey in for the injured Josh Bates at Leicester. Â No update on Josh's ankle injury as yet, but in the meantime, he's ruled out of tonight. Â All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillwhitewasmad Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Leicester by 4 tonight just depends on which David Howe turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennylion Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Lions by 8. Howe to score well, but Bjerre and Blackbird to see Lions home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Leicester by 4 tonight  Scunny by 1 would be better  All the best Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson2 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 If blackbird stays on the bike in turn 2 no problem would have loved to have gone tonight but skint first time on monthly pay unless they need a flag marshal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernamealreadytaken Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm planning to make my first visit to Leicester tonight having moved to the area. Really looking forward to seeing two good teams in modern surroundings. Looks 2 evenly matched teams so I'm really hoping it can be the solution to my speedway fix without having to travel too far. From the posts I've seen about Leicester it certainly could be interesting. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandersome Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I saw around 16 posts regarding the interview yesterday on the LSSC Facebook page, the majority slating Darcy, but now the post & all comments have disappeared. What a joke! Â there was also quite a bit of mention earlier in the week about the toilets, including a link to the BSF Leicester / Sheffield thread and specifically the Jim The Whipper parody of the BSPA and toilets but these also disappeared. I'm sure posts about the track go the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandersome Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Might be in for a bit of humble pie eating tonight with regards to overtaking on 3 & 4. Â that was a great meeting. First properly decent meeting i've seen at the track since it opened. Well done Lions. Karlsson looked better than any point last year. Â I'm now wishing i had the ability of the LSSC to remove all my posts about the crap track changes over the last week. Â Mick.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) My first visitor as a spectator to leiester tonight. Got to say what a clean and tidy fabulous facility it is .everything about the place is spot on .nice touch to interview the riders in the middle of the supporters at end of meeting. It was well run and even the car park attendant said goodnight to us on the way out . (i could name one track where you would be lucky to not get insulted on your way out). The little things do matter and i think leicester do a grand job   Edited April 6, 2013 by THE DEAN MACHINE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 The result tonight sets things up nicely for the meeting at Sheffield on Thursday. Â Leicester can afford to lose by 6 or less. Â Sheffield need to win by 7 or more. Â To top the group.. Â Lets hope there is a bumper crowd with lots of travelling Leicester fans to generate an electric atmosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty slick presentation too. Overall, not sure about the track - maybe the excitement of supporting my team took a bit away from the experience. Will give it a few more visits though.  One downer was the fact that for me and my two kids (10 and 7) it was more expensive than going to Wolves!

robert72 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Track shape again showed its not going to work even though the surface was spot on tonight. You only had to look at the riders trying everything to pass and its near on impossible unless a mistake is made. Â I was shocked when they decided to have an interval, it was freezing by then and there was no need for it, also a group of us were intending on watching the youngsters ride but there was too much messing around with the first team and chit chat, too cold for hanging around so we sadly gave it a miss. Â Heard lots of moans about the toilets again and the wait,You have to question the promotion and there lack of organisation as it has so much potential at BP but badly run. Â I must say the man in the middle got right on my nerves today, loves the sound of his own voice and a yes man. Â Great win for the lions and looking forward to going to a proper racetrack on thursday and seeing the lions win away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) I think the the chap on the centre green hit the nail on the head when there was a pass on the last bend and he described it as one of the best races ever seen!!.......it's cr ap, the track is simply sh y t e....such a shame as its a wonderfull,clean smart stadium,everything about it is brilliant except that god awfull track...why to they constantly grade the life out of it,it's killing it,seems to make a bit of dirt then out he comes with the tractor....game over!!  Fair play to MK back and straight on the pace,and baby Bjerre looked really good,Lions will take some beating around there this year..good team  The 5-1's in 6, 9 and 13 killed Scunny,Birks again very good as was Jorgensen,MPT battled away also,  £18 with a program is just to much for PL speedway also Edited April 7, 2013 by montie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson2 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yep your right £18 is a lot that's £36 for me that's why I cannot go as Often as me and the mrs want. And yes the track is crap like the knob who built it but he will never listen as he knows best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield is purely turn the taps on and go, As I remember.the only overtakes were by the Sheffield riders. Mind you, the last time I was there was in 1983. I don't suppose it has changed much from the videos I've seen. Quick comment on Sheffield's FREE programme. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute rubbish. seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
