Islander15 1,065 Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Fair point, redandyellow. But I would rather Mr Pipe say something rather than nothing. Lots of clubs seem to work on a need to know basis and often the long-suffering supporters don't need to know. Buxton haven't got a lot of money to slosh about and perhaps, we don't need to be reminded of the fact in each of Mr Pipe's monologues. Whilst Mr Pipe may not be perfect, I don't envy his task of trying to cobble a team together every week. But perhaps this year, we shall a team comprising of some experienced hands and some fresh young hopefuls. But I would rather that any team that I try and support had a small club mentality and survived rather than having a big club mentality and perhaps disappearing faster than a very fast thing. That's a fair point also. Pipe may spout so strange opinions sometimes but he definitely lets supporters know what's going on and that should be commended! I'd much rather be in that position and be a Buxton fan than a supporter of a club who doesn't know what going on unless they hear things on the grapevine. Buxton's PR at keeping fans up to date is very good between Pipe on the website, Mark Northall on social media and Jayne on here!

Little Thumper 528 Posted December 4, 2016 I've just strayed on to Buxton's Farcebook page and there is a picture of a smiling Jason Pipe in a pub holding up a Buxton No.1 race jacket. Also holding on to this race jacket is some guy in a lumberjack shirt who we must assume is either some drunk in Mr Pipe's local tavern or is the new International Man of Mystery who will be spearheading Buxton's challenge for honours in 2017. Any idea who this mystery man could be? Looking at the hands, I would suggest that he has passed the age of puberty and could be one of Mr Pipe's army of veterans. On the Buxton site, it stated, "Pipe remains at the helm". Rather worryingly, on the wall to the right of our lumberjack friend is a lifebelt and what appears to be an oar! Surely, Pipe's boat is not sinking already or perhaps he likes to surround himself with nice hello sailor stuff. If I had to put 10p on identifying our new friend, I would plump for Kenny Eyre. Any better guesses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Little Thumper 528 Posted December 4, 2016 That's Mitchell Davey, Little Thumper - Not a bad 1st signing by Jason Pipe So how do you know that? Are you a close friend of Mr Pipe's? Why do you think Mitchell Davey wants to come to Buxton? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted December 4, 2016 Tallish guy, Scottish chequered shirt & those large hands Unfortunately or fortunately I don't know Jason Pipe Buxton is one of the nearest NL tracks for Mr Davey, as he lives in Scotland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely, the chap must have more than one shirt? If you are correct, I hope they are paying him a good mileage allowance because he is going to be racking up a few miles. If he is living in Scotland then at least he will be used to it being bloody freezing for 11 months and 2 weeks of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
