stevebrum Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just looked up the titles, - DH a 3-times World Champ, as recently as 2003, won in UK twice, and in Oz. Total class, even now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Cycle speedway seems to be gaining popularity. In Coventry we have two tracks with talks of opening two more by all accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I rode for the Leicester Monarchs back in the late 1970's when we were sponsored by "Green Lane Travel"!! Scored a maximum on debut against the Newport... Same era as Rob Tomlin... Edited August 16, 2016 by Shale Searcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TesarRacing Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I'm just having a chuckle at the post that claims someone is in Cycle Speedway for the money. Laugh of the year so far. I've put thousands into it with the occasional bit of sponsorship and equipment. Â Even the top guys who can get good sponsorship will outlay way more than they get back. Â Who did you ride for Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcts Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester don't run next season...if they do I doubt the promotion team will remain the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Well apparently riders have not been paid for 10 weeks I would say the writing is on the wall at Leicester According to last week's Speedway Star it was 5 weeks. Some of the delay would, no doubt, be down to cash flow problems (5 away meetings on the trot with no income) but, like you, I can't see the present Leicester setup continuing beyond this season.

Lord Skid Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just a technicality, give them a token payment, probably for a Meeting where they earned very little then they can't say they haven't been paid, so back to square one, next time give them a cheque which takes a week to clear.
