And, pray tell, when did you last see Neil Middleditch’s face after a loss? Leicester's old nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the last time Old Bob went to the speedway. Next he’ll be calling Glasgow the Giants (last used for a mainstream team in 1953!)

Bring Glasgow back. Could bring everyone back its took so long..... "The Coronation Cup"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's right but there was only one Leicester club all be it at a different track whereas Glasgow had two different clubs at two different tracks at the same time.

Same time as Motherwell eagles I believe. The old man's forever telling me about Motherwell rider who reached the world final. Name escapes me for now but sure someone will know on here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you miss the point. Old Git of Misery Way was calling Leicester the Hunters, probably because they were called that when he last went. Trying to be clever but showing himself to simply be a curmudgeon. IMO! I was just calling out his attempt at smart assery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting embarrassing now, if it wasn't already. Nothing they can do will fix the problem, should've been completed last year (using scores from one-off neutral meeting at Lynn). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see the finals of this years competition being run before the final of last years at the moment... if Glasgow & Poole reach the final of the BSN maybe Leicester could join them... if Glasgow don't pull out of the final of the BSN of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 That team that pulled out because it was clear the final wasn't going to happen and it risked looking really silly, is really looking likes the fools, huh? They should just accept the competition wasn't finished. Leicester don't even race in the Championship any more. Or, just give the trophy to Poole... They'd probably have won it anyway. There was never any hope of completing this last season. It's pointless now, and quite ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you are not going to agree to dates for fixtures (allegedly) then hard to do them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
