Leicester 2014 . Elite


Recommended Posts

Leicester will not want to pay Phil Morris so i can't see him coming to Leicester.

 

Season ticket prices were announced last night & for once they are good value at £272 for an adults season ticket. Included in that is 18 Elite League fixtures , 1 challange match & the midland 4's.

 

Pride of the midlands (if run) , Play offs (if made) or BEN fund meeting not included.

 

So 20 matches for £272 means a saving of around £50 off gate admission prices.

 

I know us season ticket holders got ripped off last year but at least DH has got in the real world with his pricing structure this season. It has tempted me to reconsider buying one if we get a competitive team together.

Ask yourself why they were turned down last season? Not due to the stadium !! Due to other promoters not wanting them in, did not want to share their sky money with another team !! Did not want a local club near them that might affect their own attendances!! Correct me if I am wrong please as I would be interested to hear your understanding of why they did not get in last time??

Did i say it was anything to do with the Stadium ???? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. try reading post before jumping to conclusions about it's content !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to see the Lions back .. As a Saturday track forget using GP riders ,KK for Poole now wont be a bad thing . What about signing Larsen ?

Part of the appeal of being in the Elite League is having GP riders riding against us at Leicester as well as for us, and I would also like to watch the SGP/SWC/SEC meetings, so hopefully they'll avoid clashes on those Saturdays whoever is in the Lions team, though there won't be many Saturdays left when you take those dates out.

It isn't 20 matches though, it's 18. The fixture fillers aren't matches, they are meetings, and they may not be the same quality as the EL matches. The Midlands Fours was rubbish this year. Next season's will need to be a much more attractive fixture, with better quality riders, if Hemsley is including it in the package. There's no indication what the challenge will be, but we can't rely on it being EL standard. Many will look at this "offer" more realistically as 18 league matches for the price of 17, which carries no saving at all if you're going to miss any league matches. And they won't all be on Saturdays...

If you are likely to miss any matches, dont buy a season ticket. It is up to you if you miss any matches it is not the promotions fault. The fact is they are giving you some discount.

Gone up to E/L and the admission prices have stayed the same as last year in the P/L and a reduced price for season tickets so it can't be a bad deal for Lions supporters. Still waiting to hear who the signings are going to be. They must hurry or all the best riders that are looking for a team will be taken and we will be left with the dregs. Hope they make an annoucment soon. I am pretty sure that KK will be riding at No.1, someone said that it was alreay on the cards but I have searched the internet and can find nothing on there to back up that statement

May be better off with Kenneth bjerre as no 1 , he may not be as good as kk when on top form but but is much more reliable over a season(possibly with play offs an exception before anyone says it)

Whilst Bjerre is prone to inconsistent seasons he is a way better and ten times more consistent than KK. If Bjerre is possible then it would be a no brainer to go down that route. Think the indications are that KK is already Leicester bound.
