tellboy Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Josh Bates withdrawn from his guest booking for the Stars Nathan Greaves comes in as a replacement at No'2 Bit peed off if true,raining here at the moment but nothing to much.As I speak peeing down,but hot so if it stops should be ok.Should be able to use r/r as Leicester did last night meaning an extra ride for the reserves and Batchelor Edited July 16, 2016 by tellboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunce Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 With the greatest respect to Nathan Greaves, losing Josh Bates tonight as a guest is a rather big blow. Hopefully if there has been some rain, the track will be grippy which will suit the Stars. I think this will be too close to call, as others have posted I think the key may be how the reserves score.

LagutaRacingFan Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I want a cash refund, this is against trade descriptions act. I'm going to writing to Martin Lewis you thieving promoters, let me guess: a £1 admin charge to process refunds haha!  Promoters hoping some people don't bother writing in, sums up the vulturous attitude that they have towards the paying public; hang your head in shame Hemsley.

weatherwatcher Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 It sounded like the Lynne riders just didn't want to race, if it was both sides then that is fine but when 1 team pulls out they should forfit the meeting. It sounded like the rain had stopped, track a bit wet in places, what do the riders want these days wrapping in cotton woll. A few hours rain and then they shake thier heads and go home. They did not even bother to get changed. So that says a lot. Should be a full refund, it is no wonders the crowds are getting worse at meetings all over the country. It was a terrible crowd the other night on SKy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 10 miles south of BP not seen a drop of rain here all day The track looked very wet & as Glynn went round on the JCB, even that was sliding when he went round the bends. I live about 5 miles from BP & we had a very heavy shower from about 5.00-5.30 pm, but the track normally takes water very well. Judging by how wet it was I wonder if it was watered earlier in the afternoon, maybe Glyn could come on & tell us. I think the forecast was for a light shower not the heavy one we had.

Mimmo Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 We've been lied to and decived by the Leicester promotion, and I hope that the BSPA as a body clarify matters. Â Leicester Speedway have refused to refund any cash tonight, saying that we must use them for the reststaging or any of the next two meetings, as they only have three left. Alternatively, we can send them in for a cash refund. When asked David Darcy said to write to the stadium for a refund. Neil Machin then appeared on the scene, and the moment he was put on the spot, he took the cowards way out, and walked away, what a way to treat his paying public!! Fair play to Mr Darcy, he stayed to continue facing the many irate fans. But then what let him down was the fact he changed his story and said we must send our tickets to the BSPA office for a refund. Â He was continually asked why we couldn't have a refund there and then, and all he would say was "terms and conditions". It was pointed out to him that no terms and conditions were printed on the tickets or at the stadium entrance. Mr Darcy then said that terms and conditions were in the programme, of which you don't purchase until after you've entered the stadium, and not everyone buys a programme anyway. Â The programme actually says you can use the tickets next season too, but not according to Mr Darcy!!!! Â It was pointed out to him, and I know this to be true, that some clubs refund money as you leave, but he didn't or wouldn't believe us saying it was against the sports policy. He then disappeared into the night, leaving a few hundred people bewildered, not knowing what to do. Â I've always been full of praise for Leicester Speedway on all my previous postings over the past couple of years, but they've let themselves and the sport they represent down, not least us the paying public, and they should be brought to task for tonight's behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I am really pissed off with the Leicester promotion. I went in to the staduim at 6 20 pm and the track was a mess. It was no worse at 7 20 when the meeting was postponed. Why let everybody in to the staduim in the first place? I don't hold much hope of getting a refund for the 3 admission tickets I payed for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with everything,still dont know how to get a refund yet.Bloody farcical and i will be thinking twice about going back to Leicester again.Its about time all speedway clubs started refunding admission straight away to supporters who wants it.Feel sorry for the Aussies and couple of Danes who are going back to their homelands next week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
