Crazy robin Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice that Hemsley is talking to Doyley already about next season & whilst I know it doesn't matter a jot who's assett he is isn't it about time the fans knew what the protocol is with these things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionking Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 That won't happen where the uk run on 1 night because most tracks are rented so can only run on certain nights . As i understand DH has proposed that each club sign 2 no 1 riders which then the club decide who they use for each given match. This would avoid getting a different guest every week & also would not ask for so much commitment from top riders e.g Woffinden & Lindgren share no1 at wolves neither are committed to doing all matches People seem to be forgetting that the EL may be moving towards midweek speedway next year, so signing any GP rider wouldn't necessarily be a problem - subject to the usual points limitations.

weatherwatcher Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 DH & Norrie Allen didn't manage to speak to Jason Doyle at the weekend about signing next year, not a good sign, me thinks, but they did get to speak to other rider who rode in the GP that showed some interest in riding for the Lions next year acording to todays repot on the Lions website. It looks like it is going to be a case of wait and watch this space on the Lions site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justathought Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm hearing from a friend that BBC Radio Leicester report that Doyle has signed for us. I'm hearing from a friend that BBC Radio Leicester report that Doyle has signed for us. Obviously not sure how true that is. Didn't hear it myself.

SCOTLAND1314 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 1500 - 2000 ? Interesting. When I've been down it didn't look anything like that but maybe these were just one or two of the lesser crowd sizes. I was just asking as I wondered how likely the revenue would be able to support another Gp (type of) rider. Do Leicester break even or make a profit just now?

I haven't been to every single meeting this year in fact I am short of quite a few but that would be average. Crowds were a bit sparse last season but there has been an increase this year and when Cov or Wolves were in town i'd say more. I suppose it depends on what other revenue you are working with. If you don't rely on gate receipts solely your attendance can fluctuate. 'Sound financial footing' apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Jason Doyle, Craig Cook, Nicki Pedersen, Jason Crump, Chris Holder are all rumoured to have signed for Leicester according to my mate who works for fantasy TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Think we will see. Jason Doyle, Cook. Buzz, Stead,Klindt and another GP rider to be announced if DH gets his way at the AGM. Not sure on the 2 reserves, but I would like to see both lads back with us next year. Max was coming good towards the end of the season and Josh did ok when he managed to stay on the bike, a winter to build himself up a bit may be a good idea, get some weight traning in to build his strength up a bit and he may handle the bike a bit better.
