ColinMills 1,728 Posted November 21, 2013 Funny that, as I thought it was a return of AllKak, with his EL and Chris Louis fixations. feel free to have a go, maybe if you don't hide behind a daft name we could discuss like adults..."allkak"? he a new pole??

Brujas Espanolas 50 Posted November 22, 2013 ........don't hide behind a daft name we could discuss like adults... Whilst it is a daft name, most people know who he is. An ex promoter, so just thank your lucky stars that we have CL and JL rather than.........!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,661 Posted November 22, 2013 .as you may remember, I sponsored the track record twice, c.louis and hampel both took £50 off me..thats great, fine, hampel was great, but as for chris, he refused to meet me, and I never even got a thank you....fact....keith rodwell took me into the pits to meet him, he said "no", £50, and not so much as a thank you!..yet suzi perry had no such response, of course not.....hope witches fans read these facts....2..after the 2nd track record was broken, magda rang me at home instructing me, the track record now costs £100!!......£50 was no longer good enough, even though no sponsor came in with a better offer....fact.... Not surprised if that is true. A good friend of mine sponsored Louis jnr one year for a considerable sum, and never got any thanks at all. A year later he got a call asking if he wanted to continue, and you can guess the answer. He and his family were lost to Ipswich speedway forever i'm afraid, and that's a shame. Fortunately, most speedway riders don't act like prima donnas though... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Sounds like one unhappy Ipswich fan, shame you were treated as you were, as it's hard enough to find people to put money into the club, no matter how big or small the amount.

tocha 308 Posted November 22, 2013 Can't see Skidmore not being at Redcar or Lawson at Workington, would be very happy to see Richie Worrall or Anders Mellgren in the line up as both impressed me last year (but please not Kasper Lykke). I see Linus Sundstrom mentioned on the Rye link, doubt he would do Elite and Premier but if he did he would be a good number 1 as I suspect Ben will be back at Plymouth. Richard Lawson has left Workington. Linus will not be at Rye House either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately, most speedway riders don't act like prima donnas though...Sadly I'm afraid there seem to be far too many stories along those lines that revolve around Foxhall,as you say,not all riders or management in Speedway are quite so shortsighted Colin mills,yes I though I recognised the name,Keith Roswell,that's a bit of a blast from the (although not too long) past.a sponsor of CL,wasn't he in charge of PR,meeting sponsors etc?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 23, 2013 On a more positive note I heard yesterrday that Leigh had a check up on his shoulder and although there is still some tendon damage at least there is no need to operate. Intensive physio require until tge New Year and he hopes to be back in a Witches racesuit in 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,695 Posted November 24, 2013 I see from the international thread that Gino Manzares won the meeting in Perth beating Rohan and Doyle amongst others. .If we did go with a new overseas rider he would have to be top of the list.

cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted November 24, 2013 Going left field here but anyone know what Sam Masters Average would be? How about Worrall Lanham Tungate Heeps Masters Ellis Bates I.ve put Lanham in as you need some experience & he can still be a good second string. I would love to see Manzares at Foxhall but have a feeling he is EL bound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CardinalSin 346 Posted November 24, 2013 Last I heard Gino now has a young family and had little interest in committing to a full season in England. This was as recent as the summer so I'd say he was doubtful for any club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see Manzares at Foxhall but have a feeling he is EL bound. Masters has been labelled on other threads at 7.43 so unfortunately that top 5 wont fit even with two 3 pointers. As promising as Manzares looks a 5 point EL would surely be too much of a risk in the new set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
