He is not but if you like ask him if anyone sorted the main team sponsor out for him when the clubs reputation was in tatters . In fact if you watch the itv news clip of the sponsor being unveiled (on youtube ) the main sponsor actually says it was a family member who sorted the deal out .

What i have not done though is ask for a plaque or constant recognition for bringing lots of sponsorship to Birmingham speedway over recent years including securing the main team sponsor for 3 consecutive years . i am not against sponsorship, all I wanted was an honest answer which I got from the club. You will note that I did not put the wording of my request on the forum and I was fair to the club by putting the fair reply on the forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems perfect proof that the club was/is and will remain bigger and more important than any individual. Perhaps those previously offended in the past and thus continue to stay away from race nights need to understand their ego/pride is the reason they are now staying away which is a shame because if last season is anything to go by they are missing exactly what they wanted in the first place. i.e. many good nights of speedway and an incredible season of success. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether you're offering a lift or asking for one? Either way, what a good idea i.e. sharing car space. Not a new idea I know but we could use a space where offers and requests could be posted. I've suggest this to the Leicester supporters club via their website (http://www.leicester-speedway-supporters-club.co.uk) where we could have a page for fans to exchange offers of lifts.

I've had a reply from the supporters club..... Thanks for your message with regards to away travel to Leicester speedway matches, we have a group set up on Facebook called LSSC travel group which will have all coach travel on there and also will enable people to post for lifts etc for away matches. Hopefully you can join this group and join us on coaches to away matches. ......you can also see me on race nights at the LSSC 50/50 table and we can try and sort lifts out for you. Many thanks Dan Archer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabba59 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 If that's true with them flying home! They must know something we supporters don't then? But think we can guess what it does means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedwayleics Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 On 2/21/2020 at 2:02 PM, LionsDen said: As someone who was closely involved in the whole project of getting speedway back to Leicester, as both part of Leicester Speedway Ltd's organising committee and also as Secretary of the LSSC at the time, I'm assuming this 'information' has been put forward by Hemsley given that the present regime were not in place back 2011. The statement misses out an awful lot of the background story to the construction of that stand, and crucially, the paying for it. The LSSC raised well over £5k for that concrete terrace, with our people also helping to build it. The back straight was originally going to be a continuation of the earth berm around the bends until we put this proposal forward. The cost of the ironwork, which did indeed cost more than the terrace, was actually funded by the waste tipping but sadly, ended up as a legal battle that caused a lot of misery and discontent for some time afterwards, and remains the reason why Ken and I swore never to set foot in the place again. I honestly don't care enough about Leicester Speedway these days to be bothered about what the stand is called but I must admit, the expediency in that club statement did make me laugh out loud. That Bloody stand gave me a headache year in year out and will continue to do so for whoever now deals with the LCC! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrow Boy 2 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Heard lots of things have been done at the track but nothing about the track lights which I think are very poor. Hope this will be sorted as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Dan Thompson was taken to Hospital on Thursday 26th of March with appendicitis. He had the operation to remove his appendix on Friday and is already back home and recovering well! His family wish to pass on their gratitude to the Hospital staff, who they say, "were brilliant" in looking after Dan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Track lighting just needs to be even for riders, their problems come when there's a brighty-lit patch, then a dark bit, etc, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the positioning of lighting had an effect but last season it was more of a problem that the bulbs are coming to the end of their lifetime remember they were not brand new when installed. I can understand that the promotion do not want the expense of all new lighting but if they installed arc discharge bulbs along the straights the additional light would radiate into the bends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieb1 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 how come everyone seems to be hiring Leicester speedway all of a sudden ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have been hiring the track. Over the last ten seasons they have built up a good network of people who hire it throughout the season, they know what they get, a well organised day, with a reasonable surface. Possibly one difference this year is that its received more publicity as there are no competitive meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
