TMW Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 So we all get the picture. The Leicester track isn't great for passing. But there seems to be some kind of poorly organised campaign going on within this forum to stir up ill feeling towards the Leicester promotion. I noticed a letter published a couple of weeks ago by some guy where he tried to slag off Hemsley in the Star. Is that same guy posting on here under a name? So the track needs sorting and I am sure it will happen. There are plenty of tracks where passing isn't great, but the fans don't go on and on and on and on about it to the detriment of their club. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion but the way this is carrying on is beyond the norm. To be fair to Ken no he dpesn't post on here he has a coiple of times I think but not regularly. I doubt Ken gets much joy out of what's going on. I think the main problem is that Lions supporters expected the return of the 1985 season just with a 28 year break They are crying out to have Martin Rodgers back yet when he did 'an evening with' nobody culd be bothrred to turn up, I went and found what he had to say very interesting but it does seem to me that those with the rose tinted aee the ones loolong back through them.

As opposed to, say, the track just being godawful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is putting a gun to yiur head you are seriously clueless on what people are saying then,people cannot understand how hemsley got the track so wrong on a blank piece of paper,also why he won't hold his hands up and say he got it wrong and most of all change it so the paying public can see better racing. It's clear there's a problem with the shape,it doesn't take an expert to see it then why does hemsley not see it. The future of the lions is at risk. Isn't it just a' campaign' by people who want to watch decent speedway for their money? Heaven forbid. This post is too sensible for this forum because it's spot on.

Heaven forbid.In that case they should attend a track where the racing is more to there taste....... That would stop the carping on here and everybody's happy.......Result!

That might be so, but sadly it tends to come across as very negative and quite bitter. I'm only a neutral and haven't had a team to support since 2005, but I'd jump at the chance to see my side ride again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly you wouldn't if you had seen the standard of speedway at Leicester each week,I look forward to watching speedway on sky/Eurosport than live speedway at my local track. What fans are struggling to understand is Why is it that hemsley knows theres a large majority of home and visiting fans who are unhappy and the fact thousands have left and won't return yet he still won't change it,DH being like this will only end in disaster for speedway in Leicester as fans will vote with there feet.

That would stop the carping on here and everybody's happy.......Result! How can that be a result? Falling attendance. Less income for the club. I don't know of any other track that gets scrutinised to the degree that Leicester does. No one is putting a gun to yiur head Some of us are still daft enough to keep going in the hope that it will get better. To support speedway in Leicester by handing over our hard earned cash every week. Why we do this is becoming increasingly debatable. More and more familiar faces on the terraces have stopped going. They have obviously made their decisions. On Sunday's evidence we are entering our fourth season back with a track that is still crying out to be improved. Sadly Nick Morris and Craig Cook aren't in town every week. Let's hope Lion's fans and visiting supporters get a standard of speedway that satisfies everyone.

jimmy jimmy Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 101 pages either whinging about or defending the Leicester track. I am actually getting quite curious and might just go now when the Aces are in town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 You want to get out more you pathetic turd That's the problem I do get out and I can see better entertainment than what is on offer at BP each week and I am losing my love of speedway by what's been on offer at BP, sadly I am Not alone,only morons like you who are too daft to understand speedway will die again at Leicester sooner than later if no changes are made,people are bored and it's now into the 4th season.

Racin Jason 72 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think history is repeating itself. Newport came back after many years with a new purpose built stadium. Big crowds for the first few years then they diminished due to dusty tracks and poor racing. The promoter angered many fans and never returned. Only difference I can see is when Newport put in lights and changed the track it improved greatly but by then it was too late. As a neutral fan I've been 3 times to BP but I won't return till the track is changed as I only want to be entertained. Everything else is great about the stadium except the most important part. The racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have problems reading English, I don't go regular anymore,many people I know don't go at all, one meeting done and people are talking how boring it was,funny that Leicester are now in its fourth season and people say the same thing,not a great advert for speedway racing is it, It seems you are the less intelligent one as you pay each week hoping to see someone overtake hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
