Recommended Posts

I did read on Twitter that porsing is flying in either today or tomoz for the meeting at Leicester don't know if he has any bikes to ride though lol

4pm Thursday 20th - Well I'm at Stansted to meet his flight from Rzeszow. And yes his 2 UK bikes are here. We delayed returning them to Denmark when meeting was postponed from 7th Oct. Bloody hope this meeting is on as we have carried out all our obligations. 2x flown here so will not be happy if later cancelled by Leicester.

I understand Leicester are missing Wozniak, Hougaard & Klindt on Saturday while Summers & Lindgren are not keen with the PL KOC final sunday & Monday & potenially play off final on friday for Summers .

 

As it stood both teams were running R/R at no1 while lions struggle for guests to fill 3 & 5

King’s Lynn Fixture Cancelled
On Saturday there will be a collection at the entrance of the stadium on behalf of Alex's Wish, the chosen charity of Leicester Speedway for 2016.
Leicester’s final Elite League match of the season which was scheduled to take place on Saturday with the visit of the King’s Lynn Stars to Beaumont Park has been cancelled.

 

The Lions Co-promoter David Darcy said: “It is no secret that the club is in financial difficulty and to stage the meeting will incur additional costs which will only add to the present situation we find ourselves in. After careful consideration of the facts the only sensible option was to cancel the meeting much to our regret. The decision has not been taken lightly and on behalf of the management team I offer our sincere apologies to our fans, sponsors, business partners, riders and staff. Our fans have supported the team brilliantly throughout the season and I am sure that the news will be a huge disappointment to them as much as it is to everyone within the club.”

 

The team’s last home appearance took place on August Bank Holiday Monday when Leicester completed a win over last season’s Elite League Champions, the Poole Pirates and the final score-line of 52-38 was their highest winning margin.

 

The fixture has twice been postponed due to rain which affected track conditions and a third attempt was scheduled to take place two weeks ago only to be cancelled due to the unavailability of several of the Lions team.

 

“I am mindful that fans may still have in their possession admission tickets from the original date when the meeting was first postponed and if this is the case then King’s Lynn fans should write to their club enclosing their ticket for a refund which has been agreed with the Stars Promoter Keith Chapman. Lions fans should retain their re-admission tickets which can be exchanged for a meeting next season at Leicester” added Darcy.

Utter farce but not at all surprising. Lets hope we never see the current Leicester promotion ever appear in an official role again.

 

Fingers crossed that someone will come forward and take the club over, because despite all the negatives about the place from numerous people, it's still got a great deal going for it as a venue.
