lionstigersnotbearsohmy Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I bet everyone at BP are getting excited with the prospect of the cameras coming on Monday night,Mrs Helmsley has bought a new frock,Chris Popple a new hair piece and Mr Helmsley has slapped on a new bottle of fake tan and had his teeth whitened in anticipation of a Chris Louis interview. Let's hope the racing is as good as the hype! Racing? What racing? Not been any speedway racing in Leicester since 1983..... ;-) Edited July 13, 2014 by lionstigersnotbearsohmy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I almost wish I'd renewed the Sky Sports contract now. Looks like I'm really going to be missing something. I think you will be Gemini  Speedway on 1,Bowls on 2, Fishing on 3 and Golf on 4  Properly spoilt for choice on the excitement stakes I reckon  Ooh I cant wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the racing, and if DH can justify the lack of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsc1 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the racing, and if DH can justify the lack of it!. Good job we had the good gp last night to watch and hopefully a good Swedish match on Tues to make up for the crap what will be on offer Monday that's for sure. Nice stadium just bad shape and track prep......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 If the racing is that bad or even non-existent I wonder if Sky's gruesome twosome will have the gonads to say anything??!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 If the racing is that bad or even non-existent I wonder if Sky's gruesome twosome will have the gonads to say anything??!! Of course they won't Skidder cos it's the best track in the country and when we get a new stand it will host the British Grand prix. Â It's that good !! Well the burger van is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTM Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 . Good job we had the good gp last night to watch and hopefully a good Swedish match on Tues to make up for the crap what will be on offer Monday that's for sure. Nice stadium just bad shape and track prep......... I agree with most of your post but think you are being unfair regarding track prep there is not much wrong with the prep .Glyn Taylor is a very good trackman with years of doing the job but if the shape and then alterations were done without any input from him he can only produce a safe surface to race on . I think he has done so since the track opened and as the job is an art I think he has took a lot of flak for things which he has no control over. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I bet everyone at BP are getting excited with the prospect of the cameras coming on Monday night,Mrs Helmsley has bought a new frock,Chris Popple a new hair piece and Mr Helmsley has slapped on a new bottle of fake tan and had his teeth whitened in anticipation of a Chris Louis interview.

Sky must have a roving reporter then because I understand Chris Popple is on a family holiday in Tenby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionking Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 There is a god then !!

spanner47 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It's a shame Chris Louis is usually diplomatic and doesn't (or isn't allowed to) upset anyone with his questions. He'd be the perfect bloke to grill DH about the track, as he speaks from experience. As the bikes became more powerful, and the air fence was installed, racing at Foxhall was awful. I stopped going and was watching more meetings in Poland and Sweden each season than my local track. But thankfully he invested heavily on changing the shape, and now I go every week. Come on Nigel, Kelvin and Chris, do the good folk of Leicester a favour tonight, and tell it like it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 As there is no Leicester v Eastbourne thread I am going to predict on here that Lewis Blackbird will have 7 rides tonight and score a third of Eastbourne's points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
