I'd be really interested to hear from regular Leicester fans as to what Premiership attendances are like compared to the last couple of years at Championship level on Saturdays?

I'd  say about the same, maybe a tad lower at the start of the season

Not a chance! Just wondering if going Prem rather than the bigger league is paying off?;)

I'd say it is and isn't paying off. Crowds are slightly down and I've found the racing less exciting but we are winning on the track which is giving lions fans a buzz.

Don't forget the wage bill will also be higher

Sam Ermolenko apparently according to the Speedway Tavern podcast he missed a drug test at a test match at Hackney back around 1987 and was suspended until it was overturned on appeal

Only in Speedway :D

As is the way it should be done. People awaiting trial for murder don’t get bail, they’re kept in custody until their trial. It stops them reoffending if they are guilty.

I think it was Damien Bates who said, not too long ago, that Leicester more or less runs itself and that employing Stewart Dickson had been the key to that. He may have also mentioned the invaluable and voluntary time contributions by certain others.

I've no idea how much day to day, direct involvement that Marc Bates may have taken on since then albeit that his name appears as Co-promoter alongside those of David Darcy and Dickson.

When he puts "health" as the main reason for the decision by the Bateses for seeking a buyer for Leicester, I wonder whose health he's referring to. Is it his own, or that of others?

Wonder if they'll have "For Sale" banners adorning the air bags on Monday if the TV Cameras are in town :D

Quite a few possible Bogoff deals around for speedway clubs at the moment, unfortunately. I presume with the Leicester sale, the Cubs would be included within any deal?

I wonder if that makes a profit... currently there are no Cubs in the senior team, I assume they're getting loan fees for some of the asseted riders

Would you take hans Anderson for Troy batchelor?

No. If only Leicester could find a rider like Dan Thompson.

 

...oh wait a minute didn't we have one, what was his name?

Oh yes I remember ... Dan Thompson.

Both R/S riders did well last night - to be fair to Kemp he got 7 - it's just Dan eclipsed him with 9+4
