You didn’t have to love him to be able to show respect for the fact he’s died and the pain that will cause to his loved ones. You perhaps ought to show some respect yourself. 23 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I merely pointed out the fact that he has been slagged off on here for years, let the mock grief commence. What relevance does it have whether he’s been slagged for years by some or not though? The man has died today, nothing else matters. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted April 15, 2022 Such awful news. Always loved the Nige and Kelvin double act. The man was a true lover of our sport and promoted it at every opportunity. Taken so young at 52. RIP Nigel - my thoughts are with you, your family, friends and loved ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richspeedway 327 Posted April 15, 2022 Totally shocked at this news, I saw the website and thought maybe the statement was about maybe not commentating or slowly moving away. This was the last thing and still do not believe it. RIP Nige 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
