What about Eric Boocock for team manager.

What about Simon Stead or Ollie Allan both young enthusiastic for the sport and connected to the generation riding today well respected and within the media spot light... mind you what's Mr Atwood up to now days seemed a decent guy from the early days.

Steve I think more often than not you usually post some quite good stuff on here, but these two posts look way off the mark.

He just likes to stir things up a bit to get a response does Steve. You should know that by now. :lol:

Steady is managing Sheffield.

He is OK with the old Premier league level teams, not so hot in the old elite League...

 

Perhaps we need a foreign manager, Marek Cieslak perhaps?

Could well be Marc Bates, completing his training with Boocock alongside guiding him through.

Yes, I was thinking that. Glory in the problems that others are having, only one on here then a muddler.

Thought you were better than that. If you think for one moment I would glory in the problems of others you don't have a clue about me.

Damian Bates will be on BBC Radio Leicester at 6.30

Anyone know what he had to say?

Yes, he owns all the stadium and the surrounding land.

Looking at riders not doubling up or down. As other club would get priority over rider.

A couple of names in the frame for team manager. Didn't say who.

No mention of track alterations.

Sounded quite confedent about us.

Cov only to be there for 4-6 matches but could be back at Brandon before the start of the season.

Leicester to get priority over Cov. Cov will have to work around Leicester, with fixtures.

That was about it.

He said that himself & Dave Darcy were working on the team first before deciding on a manager. He was hoping to sign 5 riders who weren't riding for other clubs because Lions wouldn't have priority, because of declaring late. Saturday night is still main race night, but there might have to be the odd meeting on a different day. He expects Coventry to need BP between 4-6 times & that they would have to work around Lions fixtures. When asked what the situation was regarding the team, stadium & land, he said he was responsible for it all. I think that about covers it.

So does he now own it or is just responsible for it? Edited by Steve Shovlar

I thought they were out of order, given what's been happening throughout the Winter, regardless if it was serious or a windup.

I thought his responses were a bit weird and at times fairly incoherent. The interviewer seemed quite well clued up.

Bates seemed to say that he is responsible for the speedway operations, stadium, and the land around. That's puzzling, as I'm sure that Chapman previously clearly stated that Hemsley is still responsible for the stadium infrastructure and land, and if Bates has taken on what Buster had acquired, then he isn't responsible for stadium infrastructure and land. If Bates has taken it all over, difficult to see how the legal processes could have been done in that short a time!

The other weird but came when he was asked a perfectly reasonable question about his position, should Leicester and Sheffield find themselves in the same division. So he said " well, that's just not going to happen". So hey there you Sheffield fans, your gaffer doesn't want to get promotion!

The interviewer wound it up quite quickly I thought, probably a good decision.

A bit later I wondered if it was actually Josh Bates who'd been talking.
