Mr Blobby Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Can just see Leicester being left with Zengota, Watt, Summers, Batch and Wozniak! Think Masters will be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 With their good reserves i think that could end up being a better team than a top heavy Swindon side.Doyle on his own did not do Leicester much good last year did he. Zengota, Watt and Summers will lose almost 5 points between them next season. So Swindon would have to start 5 points under the limit. The reason the team with Doyle failed wasn't because of Doyle but because the other 6 (well, 3 of them - at any given time) were beyond crap. Soz not very well worded.I mean't to say Leicester with Zengot,Batchelor,Watt and Wozniak plus there two stronger reserves could end up being a better side than Swindon.It all depends on who they sign to ride with Doyle and as Leicester know very well a good number 1 is no good at all if the rest of the team lets him down. To add imo that team in a weaker league looks a more balanced Leicesrer team than the one they had this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Watt is pants at Beaumont Park and he openly admits he doesn't like riding there. Nor does the majority of riders......which means if a rider learns it well enough, he can acquire one big home advantage. Just needs some persistence and the right attitude.

weatherwatcher Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Big loss to the Lions losing Jason, but it may not be the end of the world. He was never in his 2 years at BP backed up with the rest of the team he was just a lone rider, don't get me wrong I hate to see him go, we all saw a great talent only get better in those 2 seasons. In one way it may be what the management needed to get a half decent team together, instead of just one rider. Lets face it I think they have had enough time and know all along that he would not be coming back next season. So they should have had the irons already in the fire looking for someone to replace him with. If not then it just shows how sloppy the management are.

mrcts Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 From the Lions website. "We have had three break-ins during the past three weeks with the most recent one being last night. Could all supporters please keep a watch if they are anywhere near the stadium and report anything unusual to us or the Police immediately. There have been lights smashed, electrics vandalised, doors kicked in and damage to our tractor." Local scumbags on the loose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I cannot believe anyone could call Leicester a poor stadium. It's outstanding for what has been achieved in a short time. It is indeed a lovely stadium and will obviously develop more the longer It runs but the track and lack of racing completely ruin it, but then Hemsley knows best doesn't he. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Leicester are in big trouble now that they have lost Doyle who along with a number of other riders have said No Thank you to Saturday night racing the club has real problems now as can't see where the No1 and 2 riders are coming from to make the team at least competitive. What I cannot understand is Jason said he would stay if they changed the race night yet Hemsley would not back down yet in 2017 has already been told he can't run on Saturdays as away clubs struggle to get their riders to do the meetings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think young Mr Hemsley's best chance is to do a rapid u-turn back to the PL while theres still half a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway not mentioned once Basically saying Doyle has betrayed him and that there was an" agreement" with Jason that he would do four years with Leicester after sorting out his visa issues. Generally having a go at disloyalty of riders (promoters are never disloyal to riders are they!!). I got the feeling he is not prepared to consider (and never has done) moving the race night to thursday. Mumbled about having to find riders but big problem with them not wanting to race in UK on Saturdays (no s**t, Einstein) so just sounded gloomy. Overall, it came across as "they've all got it in for me" and delusion that everything ought to revolve around Leicester speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hemsley had the chance to make Doyley an asset & didn't so you can understand Jason going back to Swindon especially with Hemsley insistent on staying as a Saturday track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Jason gave Leicester every opportunity to sign him up for 2016 and has been straight down the line he told David and Norrie in August that he wanted to return but would not do another season of Saturday nights. Doyle even agreed to do a few Saturday's before Poland & Sweden started but Hemsley would not listen and tried to play the emotional card that he would not be where he is now without his time at Leicester. Anybody who knows or has had dealings with Doyle will know this won't work. I did hear even after the conference he said David are you sure you know what you are doing but the blinkers are firmly on.

Shirl Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm finding it hard to understand why the management didn't go out on a limb to sign Jason. Any fool can see that he was the best in the league last year and solid in the GPs and has the potential to be World Champion. I'm remember when Tai came To BP and the crowd came to the world champ,if we had a world champion riding at Leicester it would put bums on seats guaranteed also if you have a winning team it doesn't matter what night you race. Like people have said before the product has to be watchable too Shirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 valve Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) What I cannot understand is Jason said he would stay if they changed the race night yet Hemsley would not back down yet in 2017 has already been told he can't run on Saturdays as away clubs struggle to get their riders to do the meetings. I agree the loss of JD is a massive disappointment. However, regarding Saturday night racing (agreed not good for attracting top riders to the Lions or visiting teams) does anyone know what alternative DH has on the matter? I mean, would he have been allowed to run on another night by his BSPA colleagues in 2016 and if so what night would that be?
