Leicester Lion Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The fans is the reason why they are trying to run this fixture as obviously it's a bit of a nothing fixture and riders have got to be paId with a likely low crowd. It is probably cheaper to run the meeting than refund season ticket holders and the outstanding admission tickets that have not been used. Since when did the BSPA place the fans first? They have to run the fixture, because if they accepted the alternative, ie that Leicester has effectively folded, the Lions' results would need to be expunged from the records, placing Swindon fourth in the table instead of Lakeside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 What was the article about in the Speedway Star. Was it all bad news or was there a rosy glow on the horizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 It said that Hemsley and Buster Chapman were actually talking to each other (about the rearranged KL fixture on 7th October), despite DH no longer being anything officially to do with Leicester Speedway LTD.

Hamish McRaker Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 No mentions on here of Jason Doyle's charge towards the world championship. Not a whisper on the Leicester website, either. Is nobody bothered about it? Very strange. Anyone would think he isn't liked any more.

Gemini Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Me neither. No interest at all as I've never liked individual meetings. Why would Leicester make any mention about Jason Doyle anyway as he rides for Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is nobody bothered about it? Very strange. Anyone would think he isn't liked any more. Didn't he accuse Leicester of owing him money ? Think he also said he would never ride for Swindon. So I guess he isn't liked at Leicester but had he stayed then he would of been riding in the play offs this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do clubs always post about every ride who used to ride them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckettlion Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'd read somewhere (think it was on Facebook, so probably not overly reliable) that there had been a bid from potential new owners for Leicester Speedway. Read that a few weeks ago, so can't find the link, wonder if anyone else had heard anything similar? Apologies if this has already been mentioned, not been on here for a while and only skim read the last few pages of the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that after 2 years as the No.1 there, he would be still held in high esteem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the rider whether he is well liked and held in high esteem once he has moved on. For instance at Coventry ex Bees Scott Nicholls, Rory Schlein, Simon Stead, Joonas Kylmakorpi etc., always get a good reception from the fans but Hans Andersen strangely enough doesn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andersen rode at number 1 for us for 2 years. (I use the term rode loosely) I don't care what he does and think most bees fans feel the same 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine that any lack of regard for Doyle by Leicester could be down to his on-track performances, so it it a personal thing? Jealousy, maybe?

It's hard to imagine that any lack of regard for Doyle by Leicester could be down to his on-track performances, so it it a personal thing? Jealousy, maybe? As a lions supporter, can I say that I thoroughly enjoyed having Jason D ride for the Lions as our no. 1 for 2 years. he was remarkably consistent and a great team member. I was very disappointed to see him leave but his reasons were sound enough and clearly not having to deal with riding for a Saturday night track has played its part in aiding his current GP ambitions. Interestingly, he still rides for a UK club and is one of the busiest riders in speedway. this of course in complete contrast to TW who adopted the less is more approach and turned his back on the wolves until his other league commitments had ended. I hope Doyley goes on and wins the GP title so we Leicester fans can at least say "he rode for us once" - unfortunately Like Anders M he left Leicester before picking up the crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
