Lefty Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Does the time limit still apply on the Tesco car park? It could make double headers very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A promoter sets up a double header meeting and charges the extra costs that MUST be involved and he is accused of being a "Robber". in daylight too. Wake up fans at Leicester. If you do not allow your promoter to earn a profit. you WILL lose your Speedway. Any business which continually loses money will always close down. We are extremely lucky in Speedway that quite a few of our promoters regularly prop up their clubs with personal money only to find severe criticism from the local fans if the team loses a match. This forum is full of such people. If they can't afford to run a Cubs team they shouldn't run one. The senior match was originally cancelled due to a Football match being on the TV, then couldn't be re-arranged because their Captain was on TV! They've had all season to run the cubs match and numerous opportunities to run the senior match 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryehouseforever Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Wow! I can't believe what I'm reading here. There's 3 tracks almost gone recently and Leicester fans are moaning over a double header costing £26 tonight. Get out and support your team and promotion. You have an exciting championship and national League teams . Back it or lose it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Does anyone know what the size of the crowd is tonight compared to recent meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Far better than I was expecting. Maybe a 100 or so below average this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Even if they had a lower price and didn't entice more to support this double header isn't necessarily the point. With bigger crowds expected for the play offs & possible cup final this was an ideal opportunity to reward the loyal fans by charging say £20 max for this low key double header.

But the final race was the best I’ve seen all season Sorry if you think I was doing to much tractor work, it was needed , 30 mins between main meeting and ready for the cubs is good going, it gave them a good track to ride,more importantly it protects the track from breaking up. Which believe me tacks a hell of a long time to put right again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
