Alan_Jones Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 How long shall we give Boxall before he bails out? Mid April I reckon. Depends on how soon he runs out of cash and starts selling sponsored parts/bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I really do hope so but they are going to find it difficult to finalise a deal for the land, draw up plans, submit them for planning permission, allow time for any hiccups and objections and then get the stadium built all within about 16 months.

Bagpuss Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Belle Vue have replaced Josh G with Ritchie Worrall and signed Steve Boxhall, so in my eyes they are weaker than last year and didn't win the league so why would they win the league now Perhaps because Poole look a fair bit weaker than last year?

Woz01 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Yeah.....right. We'll see. Seems a very tight timeframe. Edited December 29, 2015 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 That's an impossible timeframe unless we are on a priority pass for planning permission with no neighbours for 5 miles. And Nick knowles as construction manager. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Gemini , there are a good few embarassments to Leicester Speedway who make posts like this , the worst of them though for me , are the ones who knew nothing about speedway until beaumont park opened it's gates , but still quote the Ochiltree took away our stadium and other assorted untrue myths , I would like to say it's a small minority of idiots but i'm afraid it's not .

It's still a minority. I assure you most of us don't hold the same desire to see the end of Coventry. Don't tar us all with the same brush, I've been threatened by a Coventry fan at a meeting (for cheering a Leicester rider passing), I don't hold it against all Coventry fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Those were the days. Ok, so put those races in front of a 1300/1500 gate instead of 5000+ with just a scattering of fans on back straight and corners. Take away the Dave Lanning commentary, grass, Ole Olsens interviews with Gary Newbon, replace the race suits with leather, and swap out the uprights for laydowns, and it isn't that much difference to today.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
