LEICESTER have been boosted by the agreement of a main team sponsorship deal with crushing and screening company Paul Chapman and Sons Ltd.The business was founded in 1982 offering services to customers on site along with recycling activities at their yard based in Spondon, Derbyshire – and Chapman is a speedway supporter.He said: “Sport has played a big part in my life. I followed the Lions in the first era at the old Blackbird Road Stadium and I was naturally pleased when speedway returned to the city in 2011.“We are very much looking forward to working with the club and wish the team every success this season.”
