Long Eye Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I haven't had an email yet but I'm sure one will be following shortly. My suggestions would be less track grading and no damn sun breaks. What are my chances? Yeah good idea to cut down on the track grading. Then all the cockwombles on the terraces will moan about the lack of passing due to the dirt being out by the fence and a rutted track. Lets not have any sun breaks and enjoy watching the crashes on the 3rd bend as result. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Track grading is all part of Speedway, I would rather there was more track grading at the big tracks as it'd mean more material on the track and more racing ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Yeah good idea to cut down on the track grading.

Lets not have any sun breaks and enjoy watching the crashes on the 3rd bend as result. I think people have been moaning about the lack of passing since Leicester opened so nothing new there and it actually might make things a bit more interesting to have all the dirt out by the fence and a few ruts. As for sun breaks ~ sorry I've not been brought up with these in my 65 plus years of Speedway watching and I can't be doing with hanging around waiting for the sun to go down. ........Trees........Track grading is all part of Speedway, I would rather there was more track grading at the big tracks as it'd mean more material on the track and more racing ..... Of course that all depends on whether there is any material to move around in the first place as tracks seem to be ultra slick these days.

weatherwatcher Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just seen on the SCB website, that Bajarnie Pederson has lasted even less time that he did with the Lions. He has not even turned a wheel for Lakeside and they have give him the order of the boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chris-P Posted February 22, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Guys, I don't usually keep tabs on the forum these days, but it has been suggested that I have a read, as my name has sprung up a couple of times recently within the Leicester thread. After catching up on the posts, I am a little disheartened in the way that some opinions have been expressed. I think the most disappointing thing is the way in which these comments are written on a public forum in a clubs thread, and that it has distracted away from the team talk etc and potentially bringing negativity towards the club and the promotion, which is a big shame. However it is important that I must clarify one or two opinions which have been presented here as fact. I do not know who has posted the following comments, but I can say that they are simply not true. I have spoken to him and tried to help him and give him some tips on how to make his presentation better but his response was, "I have been a dj for over 20 years and don't need advice from you, if you don't like it don't come" I can truthfully and categorically say that this is totally false, I have never said, and never will, or even think: "I have been a DJ for over 20 years, I don't need advice from you, if you don't like it don't come ". I have spoken to, asked and been given much advice from many people over the years regarding presenting ideas etc. (I did in fact even post my personal email address on here or any help/advice/constructive criticism) Like anything in life, you can’t apply everyone’s suggestions, for instance ask any team manager what would happen if they did everything everyone tells them to do. I try to listen to everyone, take in everything that is suggested, digest it, apply what I think is right for my presenting style, and discount what I don’t believe is right for me. Ok, sometimes I get it wrong, but I do listen and take in thoughts and opinions and I am constantly working on improving in everything I do in life. I’m the first to put my hand up and say, 'you know what, I’m not perfect, I do make mistakes, but I try, and try harder to get better'. I know my presenting style or even my personality will not appeal to everyone, but I will do my best always. I am thrilled that I am back at Leicester on the centre green this year, and also at the Isle Of Wight as well. As I am doing all I can to help the sport that I love, and being amongst other likeminded people as part of a team. It’s a real shame, forums are such a great voice for the fans to get involved, but in my opinion, the way in which these opinions are put across have largely contributed towards promoters, riders and officials moving away from the forum, leaving the fans with a voice, but no one listening.

Sadly it's the close season so not a great deal happening to discuss on any of the BSF threads. Squabble, squabble? This is nothing ~ wait until the season starts when it will really get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Now Lakeside have taken on another one of the Lions failed riders this time in Lewis Bridger, just hope for thier sakes that he last a little longer there than he did at BP. He is such a wated talent, that could have gone a long way in the sport, if only he had managed to get his head sorted out. It is very hard and a very dark tunnel that people with depresion go through, we sufferered it with my daughter, it is not only the person themselves who suffer it is the parents or patners too. Luckily after 5 suicide attempts and 3 lovely children, my daughter got her life sorted out. Just ho;pe that Lewis has managed to do the same thing since he left the Lions last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
