2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Just been involved in a crash... up now and walking back to pits. Don't think much of his brand new suit... couple of holes in it now where he slid along the ground. Edited March 31, 2019 by 2ndbendbeerhut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 31, 2019 With Nicholls only doing a short stint at wolves,, could he possibly be the one to take over from Summers? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was his decision to sell the club and his alone, he cited the travelling as his biggest reason. Bearing in mind their recent history It surely came as no surprise to anyone that he and Watson would be leaving once all the loose ends were tied up and the club officially in Keith Chapmans control. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted March 31, 2019 With our first fixture tomorrow I have never had so little trust in management than I do now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted March 31, 2019 What the true situation may be persons outside the inner sanctum do not know. I do know however that Ged told me he regretted selling the club and that Neil Watson told me that he and Ged had intended to stay . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right we will never know the full story , but it would make interesting reading to hear Ged's side of things . Personally I have absolutely no faith in Buster Chapman what so ever I don't trust him and that is why I have totally withdrawn my support. It's not the lies it's the truth that is not being told that bothers me. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The true situation is that normally at this time of year this thread (or indeed the absent match thread, which no doubt Dick will now start after being alerted ) would be buzzing with expectation of fans, old (where have all the regular contributors gone - even Tel has lost interest so that's a concern, hope the old boy is still well!), and some new. What's been apparent to me is that following on from the positivity of Dec 20 when the Rathbone team was announced it has been an organisational shambles right up to P&P, which I heard was fairly well attended to be fair. I'll be there tonight but can't say that I'm looking forward to it but that's more to do with the state of the sport generally in the country rather than our own internal problems at the EoES.

GWC 495 Posted April 1, 2019 I hope GED isn’t lost to the sport as it needs people like him. Maybe Workington might attract him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are absolutely right - since December 20th it has been a shambles and one disappointment after another. Can’t make tonight but expect to be able to next week.

Did you expect anything else from the man who is determined to destroy UK speedway and throw away his own fortune ( or is it someone else's? ).He has reduced the entertainment value in the racing at Saddlebow Rd and now has the power to do so at two other tracks.

I would also argue that early season meetings rarely produce the best racing. Plus if you have two riders from one side on another planet to the rest it doesn’t help. Its sensible to give it a few meetings before passing too much judgement however some people seem to be salivating at their keyboard waiting for the first opportunity to stick the boot in to make themselves feel better. Each to their own. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
