Leicester update


Recommended Posts

Same happens every year, but just seems to get worse every year. It's about time a cut off point meant a cut off point. Only 10 teams in league 9 home matches plus Cup to fit in over 5 months and it still fails.

In 2018 when Workington won the lot we were still trying to run a cup and league double header on the 32st October

Cut off isn't the problem, it's the weeks on end with no speedway tht should be filled with a fixture

Yea but if the cut was 31 August whatever, the fixtures would have to be completed to gain a league position,  then you have all of September to run play offs and final in last week of September,  but bspa  or whatever they are called can't see it is getting worse every year,  no wonder the sport is on its last legs

Now that the Plymouth v Poole leg of the play off quarter final has been postponed to the 20th September and we can't be sure who the other two semi finalists will be until after then, what are the odds on the second leg of the KOC semi final against Poole taking place at Poole in the 21st?

This is confirmed on the Lion's website this morning.

You have just suggested the actual rule in place. The cut off was 31st August.

Nick Morris will not be with Leicester next season. He is moving up a league in Poland which will not allow him to race regularly in UK on a Saturday night.

So it appears Leicester can’t even organise an end of season party without getting it wrong !!!!!

It’s just been announced its being held on Friday 14th October let’s be honest it’s highly likely there will be an important match the next day. So I don’t envisage many riders wanting to attend the party when they can’t relax & have a drink because they have a big match the next day where they could be alcohol tested.
 

The club have had a whole year to organise the party & plan it for when they know its very likely there will be a match the next day clueless !!!!!

The words pi55 up & brewery come to mind.

Is that moving up to the 2nd division?

Ah but. The word on the street is that the Poles are going to relax their rules next year. So the likes of Nick and Dan the Man could well be riding here as well as in Poland.

For sure, Saturday could be a problem.
