Lenny Lion Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 There is student prices cheap aswell at £7.50 :-) Just out of interest, could that coincide with the increase in ticket costs? Maybe that extra couple of quid used to buy raffle tickets is now being used for the ever increasing admission costs. Certainly gone up in price a few quid, and no student price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckettlion Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 There is student prices cheap aswell at £7.50 :-) Didn't see this post til just now. Went there expecting to pay 18 quid, delighted to have only had to pay 7.50! Enjoyable meeting despite the gap between the two teams! Ulamek dialled in quickly, looks a shrewd acquisition. Hope walasek was just trying a few things. Didn't look like he. Picked up the quickest way round the new bends 3/4 like the others, need him firing at Brandon on Friday as it's usually a favourite of his Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are photos of today's meeting on the Leicester Mercury Website (http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/pictures/Picture-Gallery-Speedway-Leicester-Lions-v/pictures-28954577-detail/pictures.html) and the crowd looked even smaller than I though it might be.

Thought the crowd was bigger than I was expecting to be honest. Fully agree though, should be far more active online for example. I'd happily run the lions Twitter account for example. I wouldn't just tweet on there once every blue moon! Wouldn't know who to contact about it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Lynda Jones monitors this and I have always found her very helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the trouble to look at my post it was in response to someone only finding out that there was a reduced entrance fee for students when they got to the track. It was this reduction that was not advertised. I was not commenting on how well or otherwise the meeting was promoted. Now that you have roused me from my slumber how about the publicity on the web site? Press and practice last Friday & meeting on Saturday but still no team photo or photos of either event. The Gallery page has nothing more recent than pictures of the track alterations.Even the Facebook page has at the top a picture of Lion's riders in last seasons kevlars.

Pictures of many clubs teams appear on their websites, and in the press, within hours of them being taken, so the non showing of them is down to the people running the website.

Mr Bump Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Website could be a little better though. Last seasons riders still going round on the homepage. You could be forgiven thinking Jason Doyle is still riding for us.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bump Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'll take that previous post back. The Lions homepage is now festooned with action shots of this years riders in shiny new kevlars. Marvellous. Maybe somebody in the admin department does indeed scan these pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
