When he rode for Cov. 1 hour ago, Gemini said: If I remember correctly ~ although I'm probably wrong ~ I think KK put Coventry first in this case and missed the Civic Reception, which was quite surprising considering his reputation? I’m convinced he didn’t, I’d have been more surprised if he did put his UK club first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But thanks for sharing that. However his lack of commitment saw Coventry (twice), Poole, Lakeside and Birmingham sack him tho! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 6, 2019 This meeting looks like it’s got two hopes of being on tomorrow. No hope and Bob Hope. And Bob has left the arena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty 1,257 Posted October 6, 2019 Would the winners of this tie insist on having the 2nd leg of the final at their home track? Or does BT's schedule call the tune? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He rode for BV in 2009 and, as Neil Watson found, was a great guy to work with. He and I would meet in the office before every home meeting and go through his pay slips to make sure he was happy everything was up to date, then, more often than not, he’d go out and score double figures. But there is no doubt he is an enigma. When he rode at Poole in 2017 he just seemed to close up and no one - management, fans or fellow team members - could get through to him. Such a shame 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a shame That bottom sentance and half is true Gordon, nobody could work out what was wrong. Normally he was very playful and mischeivious, but for whatever reason all that stopped. On his night as we all know he's very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolves were involved in a Boxing Day meeting in the 60's. Can't see a problem with doing that ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
