wandersome Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 arrived to the dulcet tones of a cod 80s DJ, left to the dulcet tones of Chris Sully's karaoke singing wife and that was about the level of the low rent entertainment on offer all night. If Speedway in Leicester survives next year with the current owners, promoters and track it'll be a miracle of red sea proportions. It may be a Leicester problem, it may be a speedway in general problem but it's not worth the money plain and simple. did anyone hear any mention of how they were going to make up the shortfall for season tickets holders who haven't had anywhere near the value of their outlay? BTW i think the meeting ended Leicester 11 Coventry 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandersome Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 i sent magnus a pm on facebook and asked him why he was not riding tonight and he said he had not been asked so read into that what you like as for lasse i dont have a clue but i gather they both are not on the hemsley's christmas card list. sounds more like it Neb. I would love to see who is on David Hemsley's christmas card list and compare it to last years Dave Hemsley XMAS CARD LIST sponsors track equipment rental man captain riders co-promoter plumbers track staff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astill lodge lion Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Volty, normally I agree with most the things you post about the track & promotion, but don't agree with you about tonight. I thought it was a decent meeting. The amount of passing & close racing tonight was similar to what you see at a lot of other tracks, which isn't often the case. Don't know if it was the class of riders of racing conditions but was one of the better meetings this season. If tonight's amount if passing & close racing was the average for BP I would be happy with that. I know it wasn't a proper Leicester team, but I give the promotion credit for getting the riders they did rather than just have another fixture like the BV one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Can't see there being a massive crowd on Friday. Not even for £15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 What a great nights speedwy. The Lions have come out on top after the first Leg with a wining margin of 57 to 37. Kaperzak had 5 wins and must say from the talk at track side it looks very much like the Lions will be in the Elite league next year. From the talk it looks that if this happes that Kapersak and Kenneth Hanson could be riding for Leiceter in 2014. So far it is just speculation But from the way they spoke it souned quite a done thing. Even with the rain we had the last couple of days the racing still went ahead, with thanks going to the track team who had been working for the past couple of days getting the track in shape. This morning they had to take off tons of top shale and replace it, so our thanks should go out to them for all their hard work and also to the promotion team, who made a great job of getting a great competative squad together. Will have to wait till Friday now to see how the BEEs get on at their home track, if the teams stay the same then I can see the Lions pulling off a great win.

Gemini Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm probably not the best person to give my views on the racing because I found the match boring and one sided but it just seems as if you need a team of gaters at Beaumont Park and that's it. (K.K. will get on well there if he signs for Leicester next season - well probably for a few months anyway.) I've no idea what the averages totted up to for the respective teams but Coventry were at a disadvantage before a wheel was turned by trying to just use their own assets whereas Leicester had several higher averaged riders. If it is the same teams they'll no doubt win at Brandon on Friday as well. Spotted a lovely Dalmation dog and wondered how on earth the owner managed to smuggle that in but he said he just walked in with it. I'll have to try that. Just one more thing - Mick get Hansen signed up quick or Lions will beat you to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P T Preece Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Not the best meeting Ive seen this season, but not bad, Lions outclassed the bees, Hansen looking good again. They got on with it as well, finished just before 8pm. Cant see the bees picking up the trophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 To be fair it wasn't fantastic, certainly not the worst meeting I've ever seen or the best. One thing is for sure BP is a very difficult track to pass on once you make the gate you are pretty much home and dry baring falling off or your bike blowing up. It did have an end of season feel about it with riders pretty much going through the motions. But hay oh that's Speedway I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best meeting Ive seen this season, but not bad, Lions outclassed the bees, Hansen looking good again. They got on with it as well, finished just before 8pm. Cant see the bees picking up the trophy. Kenneth Hansen did look very good. No denying. He was very exiting but he still didn't really overtake anyone. nobody did. Andersen spent 3 1/2 laps overtaking an all over the place ryan fisher and a couple of other riders drifted out into nowhere land and were then taken down the back straight drag (I think Hansen may have even done that a couple of times). FFS what are the levels you all wished to be entertained at as i didn't see any entertainment at all tonight. If Fisher was making the errors he made tonight at any other track in the UK Andersen would have passed him in one lap, not 4. If Fisher had rode like that at Perry Bar he would have retired at the back after 1 lap, not spent 3 laps being still being in front before passed and retiring on lap 4. That race wasnt a battle of skill, just a battle of artrition and that's where were at at BP... Edited October 21, 2013 by volty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it is just speculation I think Hansen will ride for a team in the PL full time next season,with a possible doubling up role,as for Kasprzak,giving his performances for Coventry this season Leicester would be mad to even consider him IMO.

Bee 26 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Hopefully we might stand a chance signing Hansen with his favourite track being Brandon Edited October 21, 2013 by Bee 26 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedybee Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Another away drubbing for Bees.. No change there. In fact with the recent recess I'd forgotten just how bad they can be. Onto the racing then - and that was one boring meeting, with one, maybe two overtakes all night. Notwithstanding the diligent track work put in to make the meeting happen at all, it was the first time I'd been back since opening night and I realised I'd probably not missed much. It's shame as with the banking and size it could be one hell of a track if they could only crack how to give riders the ability to pass. Certainly a full throttle track which reminded me of Kings Lynn or Halifax a little .. But without the entertainment. Given that they started with a blank canvass in a new stadium, it's odd how they've ended up with a boring track, but hats off to the promotion on most other aspects. And the home fans seem passionate about their speedway too which is good to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 .....speedybee............ Another away drubbing for Bees.. No change there. In fact with the recent recess I'd forgotten just how bad they can be. I think you're being a bit harsh on them due to the team put out by Leicester. Although I agree Bees have been bad this season I think that Lions team would have easily beaten Poole and been champions. We just knew K.K. would win all his races because it's his sort of gater's track and he has practised there many times, also that Zengota would struggle. I had hoped Scott would do better but a fall and engine failure in his first two rides put paid to that idea. Of the others Ryan, Ben and Aaron performed as I expected as they are not renowned for their good starts, plus couldn't expect any more from James as he is a National League rider. Iversen did well but even he fell on the notorious 3rd/4th bend. If it is the same teams no way will the Bees make up that amount of points - in fact they'll no doubt lose again. Please can we have Hansen in our team to give us a chance of at least winning the return match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neb Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 i think the bees should replace james with someone like cookie to even the sides up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Sides are not very evenly balanced. Sides are not very evenly balanced. Replace Barker with Harris for home leg. OR as suggested replace Sarjeant who is abit out of his depth with maybe Cook or even Howorth or Worrall (is Kozza fit yet?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) The sides will be different on Friday. Morris is at Edinburgh in the PL Playoff Final for a start.

Woz01 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) If Lasse Bjerre is in instead of Morris it makes the sides more even for a meeting at Brandon. Hans Andersen just tweeted he is finished for the year, not riding Friday night it seems. Edited October 21, 2013 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
