lionking Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I've got to dig all my stuff out now after i had retired it for the winter. It will be interesting to see who Nick Johnson will support tonight. His beloved Coventry or his love child (Max Clegg) Cradley. I imagine 95% of lions fans who attend will support Cradley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMW Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 How many people will be going to this meeting? Why do you ask? Does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgi21 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Unfortunately I think it has worked for a lot of fans. I'm as keen as anyone and have been to all the Bees and Storm matches, apart from when I've been on holiday, but I wasn't going tomorrow as I have been so cheesed off at the last two N.L. meetings. Worked for me,having supported Bees through the Ochilltree era,the professionalism during those years makes the last few seasons look like something out of a Keystone Cops film.Not rocket science,Landlords v Tennants,very rarely a marriage made in heaven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) With a reply like that from TMW you should work out that the 'fella' is a woman and usually a stroppy one as well. Anyway, I'm going so that's one. By the way your unedited post was best, not the watered down version.

You are calling me stroppy.......fair play Na course it dont matter mate but just a general question Just seemed an odd question. I imagine more than would have gone to Cov as a fair few Leicester fans will go who wouldn't have gone to Cov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine more than would have gone to Cov as a fair few Leicester fans will go who wouldn't have gone to Cov. I tend to get that idea from how you come across on here, but I'm sure you are a very nice lady in person. Not really an odd question, but probably used more on Facebook when someone asks 'Who's going?' And I agree that there will probably be more at Leicester than there would at Coventry after the goings on at the last couple of N.L. meetings. I for one wasn't going to Brandon, voluntary for the first time this season, but I am now it's at Beaumont Park. I'm sure there will be a lot of Leicester fans keen to see a bit more speedway and the chance to see The Storm slaughtered. .....TesarRacing......Is that the same Charles Ochiltree that closed down Blackbird Road? Just one of several directors on the board of Midland Sports Stadiums so he didn't do it personally on his own, but usually gets the blame anyway.

Ommer Mon Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'm miserable! I'd rearranged my appointments to make it to Coventry but the extra distance means I can't make it to Leicester in time. Best of luck to the Heathens anyway and fingers crossed that we are back on track next year. I share the concern over the Stadium's view on having to get the track in shape for the stock cars. No idea what you have to do for that but I do know the damage / mess they cause when the boot is on the other foot! The Stadium owners seem to be embarking on a strategy of making us as unwelcome as possible - all designed to make sure that speedway fans no longer want to visit the place. Even as a Cradley fan I can say that when Brandon goes a little bit of me will go with it! Always enjoyed visits there. It is a great leisure asset for the area. Sad to see it go if that is what happens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot I shouldn't think that would take two days to prepare. Remove the air fence and what else? How the track was on Sunday I should think it would already be in perfect shape for the Stock Cars because it certainly wasn't for Speedway. The Storm have ridden on a Friday before but strange how they can't this time. I agree with you the owners are doing everything possible to get rid of Speedway, next on the list will be the Cars so it's not being used as a Motor Sport Stadium. All to pave the way for planning consent for housing on the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All to pave the way for planning consent for housing on the land. Like a lot of people the stadium owners seem to have lost interest in speedway - the track has been awful for the last couple of months at least. I think the only chance the stadium has of survival may ironically lie with the Stock Car people. Brandon seems to be held in high regard with the Stock Cars - as I recall the World Championship is regularly held there - and I can't see the Stock Cars letting go of the stadium without a big fuss. Speedway in Britain does seem to be in need of a major overhaul - Birmingham have gone, followed by Eastbourne dropping down and the mess we appear to be seeing at Brandon.

heathen chemistry Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 when you see the crowds they get for the stox you can understand why it gets priority brandon was packed on last stox meeting with a crowd that speedway will have to go back 20 years or more to be something on the same level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Still need a texter for this meeting. .can anyone help please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Wednesday it rained all day surely the Speedway side could/should have been talking to the Stadium staff to rearrange this meeting. It's not rocket science, we started the season losing the Elite League riders and end with Storm riding their hard earned final at Leicester, great only "home" meeting I have missed all season.

Gemini Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Well I must say I really enjoyed my 'Saturday evening' at Beaumont Park. Good crowd, well prepared track and some excellent racing. Just shows that you don't need G.P or so called star riders to provide entertainment as that was as good as any E.L. meeting. All done and dusted by 9.10pm too. Credit goes to the Leicester promotion, the referee, riders and all the track staff for putting on such a good show with so little prior notice. Congratulations to Cradley on becoming the National League Champions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I would echo the above - a very enjoyable finale to the season! Well done to both teams! I hope several riders on display also get PL berths next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I agree Eddie, a very enjoyable evening. I must say a big well done to everybody at Leicester for putting on a great show at very short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
