teddy2706 166 Posted January 14, 2015 Liam fits nicely at 8.00, but can he beat his injury issues in time to ride this season? Ben Hopwood at 7.28? Josh Bates suprisingly at 7.68? Ben Reade (too good to lose to speedway) 7.7? Luke Priest 6.37? Unfortunately, the biggest loss to National League speedway in recent years, Gary Irving @ 8.17 couldn't be accomodated even if he was available, which he isn't, a crying shame indeed.

BuxtonTiger 122 Posted January 18, 2015 Whilst not disagreeing with you foamfence, a team manager from a considerable distance away. At what cost to the Hitmen as clearly every penny counts, I sponsor to help the riders and the speedway. Is any of my money going to be spent on a team manager?

It's great that you help the club by Sponsoring, but I can assure you, your money is going in to the club and the riders and not in to my pocket :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
