Leicester Speedway Ltd Press Release

Open Day at Beaumont Park

Despite heavy rainfall on Saturday a number of shareholders in Leicester Speedway Limited turned out and received their first glimpse of the new stadium.

The event was an opportunity for private investors to meet David Hemsley, the managing director of Leicester Speedway and be taken on a guided tour of Beaumont Park. David explained the progress that has been made so far and gave a detailed description of the facilities that would be available at the new home of the Lions team who will compete in the British Premier League next season.

The share scheme which was launched earlier this year has proved very popular with supporters. David Howard who was a staunch supporter of the Lions has invested into the new company and said: “I wanted to feel involved in some way and investing into Leicester Speedway is my contribution towards seeing the Lions race again in Leicester next year”.

Hemsley was keen to acknowledge the fans support and had this to say: “The share scheme is key to the success of the project and this has placed us in a much stronger position financially. Without the support of people who have invested into Leicester Speedway we would not have been able to make such rapid progress with the development of the stadium.”

Lions Get Connected

With work well underway to create a speedway stadium at Beaumont Park we now have something tangible and physical to show for all the hard work invested by those involved to reach this stage of the project.

At present the big decisions that are currently being made revolve around the construction of the stadium and approaches. Therefore we are not yet in the true sense of the word a speedway club. Having said that we recognise that whilst the business is in its infancy, it is in fact moving at a pace and we believe that now is the time to launch an official Leicester Speedway Limited website.

You will see from the content and style that it does not have the same feel as you would expect from a traditional speedway website. This is because the website is based on the principle of a community initiative that became our core value during the early design phase for the complex. However, over the coming months as the business continues to grow along with the construction of the stadium then so too will the website. This will evolve from the appearance you see today into a vibrant and informative club website that will connect the Lions with its fan base and the wider speedway community.

The new website can be found at: www.leicester-lions-speedway.com and will be updated regularly as work progresses.
