Good luck with that, Scunny definitely not Aaron's favourite track.

He got 9 points for Berwick on his last visit. So I'm not sure where you get your conclusion from.. including winning heat 15..With Lawson already booked to guest for Edinburgh, the only riders available with a higher GSA than Summers are NBJ and Etheridge.

Any bus going to the Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre, (route 14a) will be your best bet from the City Centre. They run every 20 minutes on a Saturday leaving the Haymarket Bus Station stand HG @ 05, 25 & 45 past the hour. Transit time is 33 mins. Its then a ten minute walk across the shopping centre car park to the track. Getting back the busses leave the shopping centre at 21:13 & 22:13 depending on the finish time. Taxi's easy to pick up in the CC and take a firms number for the return journey. I hope this is of help and if you make it down come along to the startline and say Hello. Depends on if you want a few drinks but drive would be easier IMHO.

Where abouts in the city centre will you be based? I might be able to pass that way on the way to the track dependent on where you are.

Hello Lions fans, Monarchs fan here looking for advice for next weekend. Is there public transport to the track (bus or taxi) from the city centre area or is it best to just drive?

I got it from watching him there for Redcar. He scored 1 point. Told me he didn't like the place.

First time visit to Leicester today, where's the best areas to stand? Does it get very crowded and am I gonna get covered in shale?

Thanks :)

I go bend one at the front, great for getting covered in sh**..... shale! All part of the fun when attending speedway, the sound, smell & getting covered in shale! :party:

Especially as there's no greyhound track u will get hit by shale on the bends. The odd piece of stone can whack u in the face. 

Unless u want a seat in the stands or be along the front it doesn't really get too crowded to choose where u want to go.

I don't mind getting covered haha, just like to know before hand what to expect... All part of the fun, I did once at Redcar get a bit of shale under one of my eyelids, which kinda freaked me out :D

Was very busy today, not the best track for viewing, but the racing looked decent as far as I could tell

Newcastle and Birmingham come to mind when not good for viewing so if ur talkin about Leicester I don't understand how u can say that. I'm a liddle puzzled.

Back straight terracing is useless (not raked enough), but otherwise Leicester provides plenty of decent choices

Newcastle is decent for viewing? Or at least where I stand... Birmingham is awful and Leicester isn't the worst but wasnt the best yesterday, I didn't manage to get a spot at the front so had to view through peoples heads on the first bend and was getting shaled quite a lot, which doesn't happen at newcastle

So let’s get this right. Your nights viewing was poor because of a big crowd and a lot of shale on the track.

isn’t that what most people want from speedway?

As I previously mentioned there is no dog track at Leicester so you will get hit by shale on the bends and I did say u have to be there early for a seat in the stands or to stand at the front. And for viewing through people's heads, I'm sure if you asked politely someone would've moved up a bit to allow you to be at the front whether that is on the bends or straights.

You don't get hit by shale at Newcastle because there is a dog track and 95% of the viewing is only from the home straight.

******Urgent and important ********
 

If anybody receives a Facebook friend request from Leicester Speedway do not accept it or complete the questionnaire even if you can see some fellow fans in the group , It appears a copy page has been created that has copied all the clubs official posts
