The Leicester Lions have a new team sponsor and will be known as the Harry Jordan Leicester Lions.
Russell Bateman is THE owner of the company which was founded by his Granddad Harry Jordan forty years ago and when he retired Russell took over the running of the business. “My Granddad first took me to watch speedway at Blackbird Road during the last three seasons before it disappeared and I have been interested in the sport ever since” commented Russell. “I was really pleased when the Lions returned and have followed the team from day one. I was looking to become more involved in the club and when the opportunity arose for the position of the main team sponsor I thought it would be an ideal way to provide assistance to the promotion” added Bateman.
“We are delighted to welcome the company Harry Jordan as our main team sponsor. It is so important for the development of Leicester Speedway to have people like Russell on board. Without the support of our sponsors and business partners improvements in all aspects of the club would be that much slower” said the Lions Promoter David Hemsley. “Our vision is to bring Elite League speedway to Beaumont Park in the not too distant future and with our on-going plan of improving the amenities in the stadium it becomes much more achievable through the generosity of people like Russell Bateman” added Hemsley.
