Hazzman Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Personally feel anyone willing to take the season ticket issue to scc would win very easy. Anywhere off to the Elite. This could be fun. Edited November 17, 2013 by Hazzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionstigersnotbearsohmy Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hope a new owner can be found for the Panthers. Seems the EL has lost a great race track and gained a poor one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 valve Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hope a new owner can be found for the Panthers. Seems the EL has lost a great race track and gained a poor one. well the Lions in the Elite league was no great surprise, but the Peterborough decision was. Looks like there will be loads of questions & views now on the forum & I dare say many will focus on the same old subject of the Leicester track...yes boring! Please (though it wont happen) lets move on from that subject - unless there is a fresh view and discuss something else as there are more new thuings to discuss. Like 32 points and two National league riders in eac team? a gap too far? Like TV coverage, doesn't appear dead - great news...Sky or BT?? Hope you get my drift.

Indeed and if Hemsley thinks many Panthers fans will be migrating to Leicester he lives in cloud cuckoo land. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionstigersnotbearsohmy Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Is the heat format remaining the same? If so will we see two races in one? Or rather, even more drawn out races? Anything that helps young British riders develop is to be applauded, just not sure it will work at this level? As for the track debate becoming boring, let's hope the promotion do everything in their powers to ensure that some of the best fans in the country get a much improved level of entertainment.

Woz01 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Brilliant to see the Lions in the EL, the Bees v Lions fixtures will be fun. Majorly upset for Peterborough though hope they will run next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the track debate becoming boring, let's hope the promotion do everything in their powers to ensure that some of the best fans in the country get a much improved level of entertainment. Format must get changed else we'll see the kind of awful spectacle that we saw in 4's meeting finale with Midland 'Defence' league, NL and Premier league riders appearing in the same race. Though with the BSPA i won't put money on that not being the spectacle we face. I also hope the level of entertainment is much improved but at least if it isn't (and i doubt it will going on Hemsley telling me the entertainment we saw at the Bees challenge meeting vindicated his track) i will at least now be able to support the Lions away on a more regular basis which will fortunately save me wasting any more of my money on the entertainment currently offered a mile and half from where i live.

mrcts Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Indeed and if Hemsley thinks many Panthers fans will be migrating to Leicester he lives in cloud cuckoo land.By all accounts there weren't many panthers "fans" attending the showground either.......good track or crap track!

Brummie Kev Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Welcome to the EL Leicester, good to see a new midlands club in the league. Edited November 17, 2013 by Brummie Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 By all accounts 16 heat formula . 2 reserve races heats 2 & 11. Apart from that usual formula so reserves schedules to get 5 rides but will ride against the likes of Woffinden. So with every teams top 5 having to total 32 how about this for Leicester 1. Kenneth Bjerre 8.45 2. Kevin Doolan 3.00 3. Magnus Zetterstrom 4.90 4. Craig Cook 7.40 5. Krzysztof Kasprzak 7.97 6. N/L Draft 7. N/L Draft Looks pretty solid to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Averages are way out sadly. For a start Magnus is 4.98 and Doolan is well above a 3.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I took them from BSPA website. When Doolan was released from Lakeside it said from 1/09/13 his average was 3.00. See link below on the Lakeside team http://www.speedwaygb.co/issues13/el13_issue_33.pdf As for Zetterstrom i was a little confused by column c which is absent riders average as i understand is for a rider who missed part of the season so what their average is estimated it would have been if they completed every match ??? So i have gone on actual CMA which is the effective average Edited November 18, 2013 by lionking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
