Col Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 But surely they will race Poland sweden and Denmark. Which would rule out racing uk. Was mjjs statement made prior to the Polish announcement? No it was released on the SGP website at some point last week. Wed or Thurs at a guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wrong. It was in speedway star 2 weeks ago. It was made at least 2 weeks ago. No I was not wrong. It may have been the Speedway Star 2 weeks ago but it was definitely on the SGP website last week. 10/10: MJJ MULLS OVER UK COMEBACK So that was a week ago on Monday.

And the story first covered in speedway star dated 8th October. Not disputing if SGP covered the story as they clearly did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 valve Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm not a Leicester fan as you can tell and I don't understand all the problems. But I do love a good team build. I think the way you become successful is almost become a feeder team for big EL clubs. I think Matt Ford would give you some assets for the year. Team I would like from the Lions would be something like this. 1.Peter Kildemand=7.10 2.Rory Schlein= 5.12 3.Jepsen Jensen= 6.54 4.Brady Kurtz=6.44 .5.Joonas Kylmakorpi=6.68 6.Paul Starke=4.94 7. Danny Ayres=3.00 39.82 total. Not a bad team. Solid top 5 with room for all averages to improve. would keep Leicester In elite league and provide a good test for most of the other teams. It seems the thing that is missing is a promoter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 would keep Leicester In elite league and provide a good test for most of the other teams. It seems the thing that is missing is a promoter. I've just started to uni. And even as a Poole fan. I'll have a go. Could do much worse than me. hahahaahhaah. Just joking. But this team would be a great team to watch. I would admit Killer is a long shot but you never know. Other guys i could see riding for them. I think Brady Kurtz will ride he needs a year away from Poole to much pressure on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 valve Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Not many to ride on a Saturday night either!!! What are the chances of Leicester being allowed to compete in the Elite next year? if so then Saturday is a no go as they are banned for 2017. so maybe just maybe we could see the Lions in the Elite League in 2017with their strongest ever EL team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 It needs a larger number of teams, 12 would be a good start, Sheffield, Rye House, Ipswich and Somerset to move up? Giving 22 EL fixtures.. Stoke and an other to go PL? 1 New team goes NL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 There must be some big busnesses in Leicester that they can get in to be a sponser. It is not as though it is a small city and there must be quite a lot of people they could get interested if not one main sponser then three or four decent ones. Real shame when they lost Rapid but nothing was really done to replace them. Just hope that in one form or another the Lions come to the tapes in 2017. I would even come if they ran in the MDL. After all speedway is speedway to me. The most important thing though, is that there is a new owner and a new promoter who will make the Lions something far better than they have been these last three years, it was good having Doyle at No1 but for the couple of years he was there there was no one to back him up. All we can do is wait and see what happens. Fingers and toes crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Hunter Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Looks like there might be a 2017 season for the Lions after all - see last para of the following: 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.

screm Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 If Leicester dont complete their fixtures I take it they will face a fine. King's Lynn Stars @KingsLynnStars 12m12 minutes ago The meeting on Saturday at Leicester is OFF! What a surprise. Not! ^ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Roads Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Total farce,least the promotion can do is be honest with a statement of club aspirations for 2017 instead of all these debates of elite/premier/non. Run a successful business and if I treated my clients and staff in such an appalling way would be out of business......o wait a minute they are.. Let's start with a clean sheet and fresh approach he's hoping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
