so that will be 3 champ sides he has ridden for and buxton too ... good motocrosser as well . a more than average guy on a bike .

The Comets were a bit guilty of the same thing during the Denholm era.

Signing “ big names “ from other Teams might not be called pinching then.:rolleyes:

Merry Christmas.

Campton wasn't the Thomas era. Which one not sure. Think general point is it's rich for Workington fans to accuse other clubs of throwing money at riders

Mason rode for Glasgow in 2012 but I think there might have been visa problems which stopped him coming back in 2013. We wanted him back in 2014 but he’d been “got at” by Workington which was in Laura’s time. In fairness, Glasgow 2012 was not a good set up, and he wasn’t happy there. We tried really hard to keep him but his mind was made up. It was a good move for him and ok for Glasgow who at least got some money for him. Unfortunately, it was a conditional deal with a small amount up front and the balance when he hit a certain average, which he never did. 
Mason was a decent hard working rider who kept getting tripped up with red tape which meant he gave up on the sport earlier that he might have. But he seems pretty content back home with plenty of time for fishing despite being a dad twice over!
