Club
Season
2019
Well
that's the 2019 season is over. And what a season it has
been
Trophies,
and medals of all kinds to both the Lions and the
Cubs.
We even
had a proposal of marriage on the centre green,
Tommy
Curtis asked Kloe Sowter to be his wife. She said YES.
I wonder what 2020 will bring
What a season!
The Lions and the Cubs are both League Champions. The Lions won the Championship Shield and the Cubs won the KO Cup. There was also some silver and bronze medals along the way.
The Awards Evening saw all the riders in attendance.
The Club and ther LSSC presented their Awards.
Ellis Perks has made history by winning all three Leagues in the same year.
What a fantastic evening. Can't wait for 2020.
Alan Jones and David Howard were kind enough to bring all 4 trophies to the Darts Nights on Wednesday. Joe and Dan came along as well.
There were chances to have your photo taken with the trophies.Even Lester Lion got his paws on the trophy

SEE YOU ALL IN
MARCH 2020
The VIP on Saturday 20th April 2019 was Tom Franks. He enjpoyed himself so much he sent the LSSC a message.
This is
what he had to say: -
“I would like to say a BIG
thankyou to the LSSC and Leicester Speedway. My first
thoughts are how professional it is all run, what a wonderful
experience it all was throughout the evening. To actually meet
all the riders who were kind enough to spare me their time and
the staff who were very kind and helpful. As I understand it
Leicester are the only Club to do the VIP evening, what a pity, I
feel bringing the riders to see the fans is quite an important idea
to maintain the future of the sport, to have that link of being
close to the riders makes the sport so much more enjoyable and has
personally encouraged my wife and I to go to more
matches etc. I think you have just got it just right. On
the itinerary last night, the centre green and ref’s box gave a
greater prospective on what is going on in the meeting.
Walking the track with the lads and Stewart was brilliant and what a manager we are lucky to have. What other teams do what Leicester do for the fans ? Finally meeting the riders is a wonderful memory to keep and cherish, thank you for the evening and I’m pretty sure this year will be a good one for the Lions
I am one very happy Lions Fan.”
Sunday 5th May 2019
An
exciting afternoon at Eastbourne for the travelling fans. An away
win by 1 point with all the bad luck seeming to come theur way.
Besdt wishes to Jack for his speedy recovery. A big thanks to guest
Josh Pickering who did us proud. Thanks also must go to Stewart who
gave his time to talk yo the fans on the coach after the
meeting.
Dan the Travel Man has just received this from the Eastbourne's Co promotor.
Hope
that you all had a great day and safe trip home. Well done on your
win and as I said the Stuart at the end, you had all the bad luck
going during the meeting so may be justice served. It was great to
see you at Arlington as part of another big crowd and great to hear
an old fashioned war cry too. The winner is speedway and that's the
most important thing of all... Best wishes and hope to see you all
again soon. The Fans at Eastbourne are a credit to Leicester
Speedway.
Regards Ian
Isn't
this fantastic.
Its great to have this sort of support. I know we will try to get
there again this year if we can
Saturday
25th May

a hope that he is back soon.

The LSSC have been collecting for the injured Cub, Jamie Halder. The collections were made last week at the Cubs meeting and tonight. You, the supporters, have dug deep and the total was £600. Well done to you all. A cheque was presented to Jamie’s father after the meeting.
The VIP
was young Jack Radford. His father Glen also was a VIP as he had to
go with Jack as he was so young.
Jack chose Ellis Perks as the Rider of the
Night.
Jack has contacted the LSSC. This is what he had to say,
"I just want to say what a fantastic experience I've had tonight. Thanks to the supporters Club for organising this. I'd like to thank the team for taking their time to include me in the track walk and explaining things as we walked around the track. Stuart Dickson is a great manager and has made a great team spirit, with plenty of banter. A great experience and a wonderful evening. Thanks again". Jack Radford

riding in such greasy conditions. After losing Ellis in the first
heat the Cubs were down to 5 men. They all rode their hearts out.

Malpus eventually chose the Captain Danyon Hume.
