Big Al Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 All that KL will probably need is 3 bikes between them, to get a 75-0 win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWP Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 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.

lionking Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Interesting comment in the email from the Lions. Stars fans can claim any un-refunded tickets from the Lynn promotion and Lions fans can use their ticket next season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethelion Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Kings Lynn fans being told to return re-admission tickets to their own club for a refund, which as been agreed with Keith Chapman . Leicester fans can keep their tickets for a match next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 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. Please do not reply to this automated newsletter.

Haza Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Not in the slightest bit surprised - this fixture has been a total farce sine the Leiester promotion opened the stadium gates to fans knowing to well the track was waterlogged - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmo Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 If nothing else comes out of this the BSPA should never let this scenario happen again. Allowing fans and riders to arrange time off, trips, flights etc when realistically a meeting is never going to take place is gross incompetence! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
