spin king Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Well done Leicester. Lebedevs may as well be a Pole and they should no longer be welcome in British speedway. Also riders who aren't honest about their other commitments when signing should be shown the door. Two Brits now with extra jobs, great stuff. Now Wolves, Somerset, Poole and Peterborough, Workington and Sheffield need to give their teams a good hard look and make some pro-British decisions. Sheffield need to back the British riders. Last season team started with 6 Brits in the starting team line up. This season 4 Brits and the last 4 Under 21 Champions are riding for the team as well. Maybe you might want to explain how much more you think that they could help the back British riders, I for one would be interested to find out please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I see the on track action at Leicester press and practice has been cancelled due to the new section of the track not being settled correctly. So just photos and meet the rider section later in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve9 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 track alterations left too late in the day hence no available time for pre season challenge meeting. Now track not fit for pre season press and practice day. I'd like to bet no guests have been lined-up to replace King and Auty for this Sat season opener against Swindon. I suspect the weather may well come to the rescue of the club to allow the track further time to settle. I can't imagine many fans will be thrilled at the thought of not being able to track our own 1-7 for the first home meeting of the season. Such a shame as the momentum under the new owners seemed to be building nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Already mentioned by others but here is the full statement. I think I will give Saturday a miss and wait until the full team is riding and the track is definitely okay. Leicester Lions Speedway Team Tomorrow’s team practice event that was planned between 2.30pm and 5.00pm has been called off.There is a slight issue into turn two that needs resolving which has meant further work is required and this will start in the morning which has led to this decision.Lions Promoter David Darcy said: “It is disappointing to postpone the practice as I know that the riders want the track time to get acclimatised to the new shape and fans were looking forward to seeing the new team but first and foremost safety is at the front of my thinking. We have spent considerable time and expense in improving the overall condition of the circuit but a minor problem has manifested itself which needs rectifying to our satisfaction. I am sure that fans will understand that we have a duty to ensure a safe surface to race on and anything less is unacceptable.”Fans will still have the opportunity to meet the Leicester riders at the ‘Talk In’ event with the team and management in the Stadium Bar which start at 6.00pm.Season ticket holders will still be able to collect their passes from 2.30pm in the Stadium Bar if they wish to.

Skidder1 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 They forgot to install a 'Turn Left' sign on the 1st bend!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 They forgot to install a 'Turn Left' sign on the 1st bend!!!! In view of the number of riders who have hit the air fence coming out of bend four over the years can they put one on the apex of bends 3 & 4 as well?

Happy Hunter Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Haha pedantic. Lol Suits Sorry Phil - no hard feelings! It was just that I could see in my mind's eye a three piece suite in Lion's colours in our lounge or a themed Speedway Hotel where all the rooms & suites were decorated in various team colours with complimentary dressing gowns that look like a race suit!

BTFC LION Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 I think some people on here are being a bit harsh on the new promotion regarding the track. 6 weeks ago we very nearly had nothing !! We now have a promotion, who at great expense have tried to do what we were all asking for, track changes. Its my understanding after changing the track a soft spot appeared, it was ripped up and retried, If I am correct? It has had to be dug up again, this time going even deeper, just to try and get rid of the offending soft spot, Not ideal, but just do not think they deserve the comments they are receiving on here. Guests are booked for Sat, Why not just give it a go? Instead of being so negative saying you are going to stay away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
