Blazeaway Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Instead of moaning about the track why don't the fans form a committee and help raise the 10k to change it, if not stop moaning. Wow, just wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim the whipper Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have a business making tins of baked beans . our original recipe for the tomato sauce tastes bloody awful but so far I have had enough loyal customers to keep me in business . When i first started in the baked bean game ,loads of people advised me to use a tried and tested recipe for sauce but I thought i knew better so went with my own , but I'm not one for admitting getting something wrong so even after 2 years the sauce still tastes Horrible except for the one time when an agency chef altered the ingredients and my beans tasted a lot better ( I did however make a healthy profit when people were giving my new brand a try and I spent it buying a £33,000 new car with the profits). Now someone has suggested to my few remaining customers that they club together to buy a new recipe for my beans so that they can enjoy eating them instead of feeling as if they are throwing money down the drain . I really can't understand their attitude to be honest , some have said they were never really that keen on baked beans in the first place so they will just stop eating them , others have said they tried to enjoy them but found it impossible and will just change brands and some have said they will continue to eat my beans with the current recipe and just hold their noses while they swallow them . I have been on radio shows and local tv telling people just how good my beans are but to no avail once they try them they form an opinion and not a single one will give me any money to put the recipe right so that I can create a product they wish to buy from me , some have even suggested that I use my own money to change the recipe but I'm not doing that , if these people want better beans than they should pay for them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it’s fairly clear that the track at Leicester isn’t going to be changed. But, forming a committee and attempting to raise the necessary funds is better than just moaning about it. I have personally voted with my feet and found pastures new to watch speedway. It’s a real shame because I really do love everything else about the place. And I will continue to want the Leicester team to be successful. As it is at present crowds will continue to diminish till it gets to a level where its not viable to carry on. But, at the end of the day it is Mr Hemsleys business and its up to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennylion Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I did actually suggest this a while ago, but it seems Leicester fans don't really wont to do anything about it exept moan. One of my questions was asked in the interview about regulations and costings of stretching the centre green and DH advised £1m with all the planning permission etc... Some funding raising job that would be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim the whipper Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Well in that case I wish he would make up his bloody mind. The amount was 10k last time he talked about it. My advice is find somewhere else to watch your Speedway. The guy seems to make things up to suite himself. if supporters raised enough money to affect the changes . the next stumbling block would surely be Mr Hemsley himself ,I have never heard him personally say that it's anything to do with finance, From his point of view , the track is perfectly good and changes are not necessary , in his view some of the racing is the best in the country !! before any fundraising takes place I think it would be a good idea to get his agreement that he would actually do the changes and preferably to someone elses specifications , otherwise the relevant funds could wind up being spent on something he thinks is more important .

My advice is find somewhere else to watch your Speedway. The guy seems to make things up to suite himself. The £1million pounds would be for stretching the centre green width wise which means moving the stands. The smaller amount is for making the track shorter which meeans moving the drains at one end if not both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller amount is for making the track shorter which meeans moving the drains at one end if not both. The stands were only supposed to be temporary anyway. The interview showed typical contradictions. Swearing black is white, Hemsley claims the racing at BP is some of the best anywhere, yet he'd happily risk making wholesale changes to the track if someone stumped up the cash. When asked about Norwich he said he hadn't heard from them, yet somehow they are working together to bring speedway back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert72 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Let's be clear, it's up to Dave what he does with the track. Equally it's up to those who pay to watch speedway to decide if it's value for money. Originally I was one of a group of four people going along every Saturday. Now it's just me and I go along less and less. I have taken several people along to watch and no one has ever gone back. Some of course will go along no matter what, but to maintain numbers the sport has to appeal to those who want a little more for their money. So in answer to your question, no I would not prefer it if there was no speedway in the city. But I wouldn't want the rugby, football, or anything else to close either. My point is that we must appeal to a wider audience than the die hard fan or support will dwindle to just a few hundred. As good as the stadium is, and full credit to DH and everyone else for that, on track entertainment is sadly lacking. Good post,I think the radio interview summed DH up, he lives in his own world. Sad but more people are voting with there feet weekly as crowds fall and he is really putting the future of the club at risk. Is there a link to the radio interview,i would like to listen again.

neb Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 why not start up a new thread robert a message to the sheffield promotor i think there was 2 or 3 passes at most there tonight at least that would get rid of you off here,go and bore them and stop going on and on and on about the same thing. if anyone lives in their own world then i am sure you do too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
