Surely this was known about when they signed him. So thats Mark Riss, Garcia, Ruml and Clegg binned this season and Williamson chucked it early doors. Lawson at reserve could be a masterstroke, just like Clegg no pressure on him to score surely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paulco 7,047 Posted August 13, 2018 How long is it since William Lawson rode at this level ? He rode for us in around 2009 , dont remember him riding after that . It's a long time away from the sport at this level of competition . But good luck to him . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's my reservation, as imo Father Lawson's dominance in his son's senior career, prevented Willie making a serious go of what could have been an impressive journey to a higher level. 51 minutes ago, stewmac said: Had Edinburgh added a couple of sentences to their press release, explaining the fact that the move was forced on them by Clegg being determined to race in Belgium on a day he should be turning out for the Monarchs, then none of this nonsense from either set of fans would have been necessary. Well Clegg has previous on where his priorities lie, when for the last match at home for 2016, he left us further short handed against Glasgow, as he opted for the Wolves end of season function, instead of riding for us 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think he might of had a short stint at some point during the 2011 but can’t remember who it was with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also declined to be based further south which didnt help his career when it was on the up. Auchterarder to Somerset or Poole is an all day event, to then have to ride four or five heats at the end of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,684 Posted August 13, 2018 Its a joke that his 4+ average is available for a replacement for Clegg having come in on a 3 and scored less that that in just a handful of meetings 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
